The odds of 76ers winning the championship increases with this but Simmons must remain a good three point shooter all throughout the whole season.

They have a chance as they are in the East, just like the Raptors which has a great journey to be in the Finals and successfully win in the NBA finals.
It's only the Sixers which the Raptors struggles but that lucky bounce of Leonard changes everything, no Leonard in the east now, and The Greek Freak is very predictable,  so I think they have a chance.

Well, they need to prove that this coming NBA season, they are still a good team although Butler was already out in the team.
Their biggest rival in the East is the Bucks, they may look very predictable last season but I don't think they will still do the same mistake if they will reach in the NBA East finals. Most likely it's gonna be Bucks or Sixers which will occupy the number 1 and 2 spot.

I learn more with crypto for patience, by joining with cryptocurrency I get lesson where I have control my emotion when trading or investing. When price higher I have sell without waiting again to control my emotion I sell it, and buy when price down for take much profit with my bitcoin and altcoin assets.
That is learn through your experience and we have lucky to be here early as we know how to manage ourselves when the same situation in the past happens in the future. It's just about how strong we can hold and that patience is really important, and if we are already aware on how the market moves, we will not easily panic even if we will witness a long bear market like over a year already.

Their ridiculous Telegram is still running overdrive.

It makes it almost impossible read messages and understand what is going on.

I can see that you are complaining hard about their telegram channel, I suggest to just don't mind it since there's no one from the team that would answer us about that. You are not the only one who noticed that, personally I already stop checking their telegram channel as I know its still useless when you are not getting information that you want to see.

Who are happy right now that Ben Simmons finally hit his first three point shot in his NBA Career?? I'm not a fan of 76ers but I'm just happy with this milestone. Lots of memes on the twitter and lots of news in the internet. Your opinions?? Here are some links to read:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-09/ben-simmons-just-hit-a-three-why-is-everyone-freaking-out/11585932

https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/76ers/ben-simmons-made-three-pointer-twitter-social-reactions-went-nuts

Now how says he can't shoot? LOL..  He made it but I don't like to count it, I would officially start counting in the regular season as that's what you called a real game. This guy is good inside but his jump shooting is aweful and I think he understands the competition that's why he develop himself and hopefully we will see some more when the regular season finally starts.
4785  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin price recovery on: October 09, 2019, 06:25:35 AM
So far I see that altcoin is actually experiencing a decline in prices and this is a disappointment for investors all in the next 2 years we face a market that is not so good because the downward trend that continues to give a lot of effect on our assets all of which have experienced a substantial decline.
Well, we have no choice but to accept the reality, if they do not trust the future of the coins they are investing, we can expect that they will panic or will accept the reality that their coins is already dead. I suggest let's move one, and focus on the current situation, I am not saying that those coins are already dead but what I like is to look for opportunity on the current market, this long struggle will tell us not to fully really on long term investment, instead learn to trade short term and learn to invest short term.
4786  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dont be surprised if ETH hits 4000$ on: October 09, 2019, 05:42:46 AM
It seems to reach that point we ourselves have to be patient, this year the increase cannot even be more than 500 $. to reach that point ethereum requires a struggle to reach it. IEO or ICO which is boosting ethereum up by themselves right now are no longer interested in people
Wrong, IEO is not boosting ETH since they are using an exchange token, and that's a competition.
The best way to see ETH boost again is if ICO will be alive again which is unlikely to happen since people have already settled with IEO.
Further, if the market will recover and ETH tokens will rise again, this would help ETH to recover, but this is a big and major improvement which for almost 2 years have not yet arrived or happen.
4787  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins prices are bleeding heavily on: October 08, 2019, 11:15:04 AM
Altcoins prices are bleeding heavily, with some of the top-20 coins showing losses of more than 34% on the day.
The most popular altcoin Ether (ETH) has dropped over $50 in the last 24 hours to a price point of $156 per coin, recording a heavy loss of 24% on the day.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/tuesday-shows-bloodbath-for-altcoins-up-to-34-losses-on-top-20-coins

do you think this down market will continues and welcome back to the bears in crypto market again ?
or this is only the preparations if the market will growing really hard and the bulls will show up in the near time ?
It's a bloodbath for Bitcoin for the past weeks already. Altcoins used to dive in with bitcoins' before but it seems like some coins are having mixed movements and some are even stable as of the moment. For now, we'll just wait for a massive rebound.
Very critical percentage of bitcoin dominance now.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes



More bad things are coming? hopefully it will not happen, though it looks so evil but that percentage is a drop from 70% dominance in the last weeks.
4788  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin price recovery on: October 08, 2019, 11:02:30 AM
me, too. I see most of the old altcoins have recovered up to 200% more that increase. but it is still far from falling prices. it's just that I believe altcoin will be back with the current bitcoin increase. I have several altcoins. a few days ago it was very bad. all assets have no value of more than 10 $. but today I see that increase. and the graph gives a strong signal for recovery and bulls.
I also have several Altcoins that I still hold until now because the price is still not recovering as before, my target is a year after Halving Bitcoin happens later, I'm sure the price of Altcoin will recover after that. Because the experience in the previous year is also like that where the price of Bitcoin and Altcoin to the moon after Halving Bitcoin.
We are not few, I am sure there's a lot out there that are still holding their altcoins although the value is very cheap already.
I am not constantly monitoring my holdings anymore but I am quite certain that the almost 80 to 90% of my holding are almost worthless.
my mistake if I will judge on the market now is that I hold coins that I thought will rise more since they still have a very small marketcap.

Honestly speaking, Rondo will not gonna receive much game time on Lakers tho.


Because he has a conflict of position with Lebron, when Lebron played with the Cavaliers in his last season, he was very effective as point guard and that's why he brought that style of play in this team now, maybe if he has a star player PG he might not take the position like the time when he was still playing with Kyrie Irving.
That's the adjustment Rondo needs to accept, If Lakers are aiming for this season's title for sure they will allow Lebron to take the lead. He's effective when he play in PG position, many game play can execute since he's capable to run. No problem with outside and inside offense plus a good defensive
stop when it's needed. The line up is very competitive not just a hype but really have a balance squad.

If Davis will be effective, Lebron will likely to have a good stats this season, a double double is likely while a triple double is still possible since he is good in hist assist and rebounding.

It's gonna be points-rebounds-assist, he will dominate in that category for sure.
4790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: October 07, 2019, 10:51:56 AM

because gambling industry don't just run in players/bettors there are many areas when you can earn in gambling without risking your money.you can lend inside casino for those who's put of cash with collateral and interest

That's only possible in physical casino but not in online, of course you can do that with a big capital and you have to charge the gambler with a big interest, you are always in the safe side since you have the collateral which is surely way higher than the amount you lent, I think usually who capitalize in this kind of deal are the casino owners as they have the capacity to lend big money.
4791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: October 07, 2019, 10:09:47 AM
Lebron may not be PG though, he played point forward once again but they had Rondo so Rondo will probably play make more than Lebron.

If Lebon will act as a PG, Rondo will be playing as the 2nd round unit of the Lakers, which makes them a dangerous team.
We know Lebron can fill any position he wants but based on my observation, he is also effective as a point guard since he can drive the ball and just pass either to davis or from its outside shooters.

That's right, LeBron at point guard position was the most effective for him since he has a great court vision and a high basketball IQ. Considering the Lakers has tall players at thir disposal, it is only right to have a bigman running the play which only LeBron can do.

If I still remember correctly, during the first season of Lebron with the Lakers, he didn't act as  PG and they gave that position to the real PG which is Rondo, but Lebron's effectiveness has decrease so in the middle of the season I guess, he manage the PG so their ranking remains in the top 8 and it was just the injury was their major problem that's why their ranking slide down.

So, I think they will make Lebron as PG for this whole season and as long as he is healthy, he will be able to carry this team to not just in playoffs but in the Finals.

You have to be transparent to the bank if you don't want to get investigated.
I think it really depends on the amount, we might say it huge but they have a amount ceiling per their rules.
Before you can open a bank account, you will have to follow the kYC procedure, fill up the form with information required, like where you funds will be coming from, and how much in a monthly, or yearly you will deposit in your account, if you supply all the correct information, there's nothing to worry at all.
4793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 1000x potential token on: October 07, 2019, 06:58:01 AM
Binance has the best quality for 1000x potential growth coin because of its development activity we can possible  growth
Depends on what price we start, if we start on its ICO price, I think there's a chance that it will reach x1000 in the long run.
BNB's ICO price was 0.1 usd, so if we multiply to x1000, that's only 100 usd which is easy to achieve, maybe in less than a year from now it's possible.

However, if we based on the current price of $15, that would mean it will have to reach $15,000 in the long run, which I think it will not be easy though I believe its possible.
4794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Governor's Cup betting and discussion on: October 07, 2019, 06:46:17 AM
Well man, he suffered enough! Is he? He should be back now. The suspension is enormous for me.

We just miss him that's why we say that, the PBA organization has a rules to follow and its now defends on the commissioner if he will grant the request of the fans to allow him to play again. Actually he is really needed to win the Phoenix, I mean to have more wins, they need a closer like him who brings energy to the floor, if we witnessed how the Phoenix played in their games with Calvin, they struggle a lot especially in the half or in the winning moment.

I am very confident he will be granted pardon of his mistake and we shall see him soon.
What he really did is very shameful not only to his team but to the association too. Yes he is a very big asset to the Phoenix but if he continues to play how he is playing then he will receive multiple suspension from the commissioner. What he did is what he deserves. A clothesline to an import?? It is an unprofessional move coming from him.

The commissioner gave him permission already to attend the practice with his team but to play this season? I don't think so. More probably in the next season which is the All Filipino cup.

Again it's revealed how weak the team without him, they got dominated by the bolts in a score of 111 - 94 and when he was playing, we can barely see this kind of big margin in the game. I also think that the Phoenix management are helping him now to approach whoever committee they will have to in order for him to play the soonest.
4795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin price recovery on: October 04, 2019, 10:27:00 PM
What are your thoughts and expectations?

will the price recover? yes
When's that gonna happen? Nobody knows.
will it affect all projects? no

you can't say much more at the moment. sorry. Cheesy

At this point of time, we can only think of the good possibilities in the future, we have to stay optimistic that things will change for the better.
I always have that kind of thinking even in the past, that's why I survive until now holding my coins and maybe its one of the reason why i failed to sell at the right time because I always HODL, but lesson learned, I'll probably gonna make a good decision by the time altcoins rally will come.
4796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Overall winning - Dice on: October 04, 2019, 09:35:03 PM
Have anyone profited out of dice in the short or long term. I have been trying the best and lost all, I can't leave it. Once after I loss I have gone beyond my ability. Finally as the wallet got emptied, I bought bitcoin particularly for betting and lost even the amount earned from my day job. I used to experience win, but at the end it is a loss. I miss the right time to stop and leave. Cry Cry Cry

At least now you know that the dice is might not be the best game for you. You could try other games like poker and other card games. But if you prefer dice games more, you should reevaluate your chances on winning on that. In card games, you can train and have strategies that can minimize your loses. But in dice, nothing will stop you unless you'd emptied your capital.
He doesn't need to leave the game that he loves to play, he just have to learn which game he will have to focus and which games will be played like doing it for purely entertainment only. To make it short and easy for him, games that are luck based like dice should only be played for fun, meaning, you don't expect consistency here as there is no working strategy that will beat the house edge.

now, if he is really interested in pursuing his journey in gambling, skilled based type of games should be focus, I agree with poker and will add sports gambling as well.
4797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: October 04, 2019, 09:19:24 PM
I don't agree that Kawhi doesn't bring too much hype. Just after the finals, everyone turned in for Raptors but after knowing that he's going to leave the team.
They hype was only after they won the NBA finals but when he first joined the Raptors there was no hype as he was coming from injury that time.
And if you noticed, he start with limited minutes only and he does not usually go with games outside Toronto, and its a wise decision since the Raptors does not struggle to be in the top 8 and in fact they also win a lot of games even without Leonard.
4798  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: HODL HODL portfolio on: October 04, 2019, 08:59:44 PM
There is no need to invent anything if you are not a trader.
I think this is wrong, though bitcoin is the most stable in the market but we've seen how altcoins can bring money.
If your judgement is only based in the last two years, then I would say you are right, but if you go down further and make it five years, you will see that the most profitable coins to invest is from altcoins if you just sell it during the last bull run in 2017.
4799  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin volatility here to stay? on: October 04, 2019, 08:32:08 PM
Bitcoin volatility is part of the game so far because there is not so much volume even if we think it is, this is still baby volume compare to other currencies or companies and in time the volatility will slowly decrease.

I know you don't like, I didin't like it either when I first joined Bitcoin in 2013 but without volatility do you think we would have had so many investors ? I think not because this creates a lot of new opportunities for everyone, anytime they join.

Maybe in 10 years at least we will see another type of volatility for bitcoin but you're looking for stable coins maybe wait for Libra ?

Bitcoin, Ethereum and other top coins have every chance of achieving a capitalization of a trillion dollars, which will allow them to remain relatively stable and slightly reduce volatility. 5 years is the time during which cryptocurrencies can win at least a minimum of trust from people. Therefore, most likely, in the next few years, it is not worth counting on a decrease in cryptocurrency volatility.

If it can attract institutional money, then I would think that it would help this market to gain some stability because it will lessen the manipulation as they will hold for long term because they believe on the system. The problem that I'm seeing now is that we have a lot of small time investors that composes the market and every time there's a hype or a FUD, this market will easily move significantly in just a few hours, that is a sign that we don't have a stable market, so we need more that does not panic and will not buy the hype or FUD.

What do we think about this rumor?

NBA Rumors: Lakers Could Bring Back Jordan Clarkson Via Midseason Trade, ‘L.A. Sports Hub’ Suggests

I think he will be able to help the Lakers if the management will be able to get him back.
He is a good scorer and they can put Clarkson in the 2nd unit, this team will surely improve more.
