It's not surprising at all since Garcia is a popular boxer and became a champion before getting KO'd by Tank Davis, while Duarte has not won a championship yet, and his current division ranking is not even in the top 3. So, I can't blame people for thinking that this is just a cherry-picked fight for Garcia to increase his ranking after his loss to Davis. Regardless, I still consider this fight interesting for the reason that Duarte is a KO artist.

We all know that Haney falls into the category of kinda boring boxers—there aren't many, but they're all unbeaten. Personally, I believe that boxing is as much about putting on a show as it is about competing. I mean, a boxer would get more love if they could both win the match and keep the crowd entertained simultaneously. But with Haney, it's all about that "W" – the entertainment factor is usually missing in action in most, if not all, of his fights.

We probably need a 3rd party to do that as it's not included as a feature in our hard wallet, simple feature will make it less risky to being compromise. Holding is really risky too although you could keep your bitcoin safely but you'll never know how long you'll stay in  this world, so if you die and no one would be able to benefit your bitcoin, what you work hard will just be wasted, though you'd help HODLERS as the supply in circulation will decrease.

I guess no wallet provider would integrate this feature though as they are to protect the security of their wallets, maybe there are like so called banks who would accept your bitcoin deposit, so if you trust them you can set up an account with your intention on how your bitcoin will move in the future.

Fees rely on network congestion. If it's congested, you need to pay higher fees so your transaction will be prioritized. I think that has been the norm, and that's the reason why altcoins are created. Yet, Bitcoin is still the most popular since altcoins generally does not gain the trust of the people. I know there's this LN but it hasn't gain good adoption rate yet, probably because people find it complicated to follow?

That could only happen if the government refrains from intervening, Bitcoin will function as intended, leading to rapid adoption. People tend to prioritize their privacy, and in this regard, Bitcoin has an advantage as it operates in a decentralized manner. This stands in contrast to centralized options favored by the government.

Two straight home games without a win— that's disappointing. I initially thought they would only struggle with inconsistency during the playoffs, but it seems to be an issue even in the regular season. Meanwhile, the Suns have surged to the number 3 spot with their 7-game win streak. This team is proving to live on people's expectation. I wouldn't be surprised if they claim the number 1 spot once all three key players consistently play together.

Glad he's back, Jazz has been having a problem recently with their interior defense, so with him, Both Clarkson and Markkanen would be able to focus on offense especially for Markkanen which he's been exhausted easily playing defense inside. Hopefully Kessler would not be reinjured and he'll stay healthy for a while as we've seen how the team are playing without him. 

People can't stop talking about what they love, and although the younger generations might overhear these conversations, it's not necessarily a problem if they are well-guided. IMO, it's beneficial for them to be informed about such matters even at a young age, so they can be aware of its risk. As the older generation, especially parents, it's always our responsibility to guide our children.

Keeping these topics away from them doesn't guarantee they won't encounter them, as their world extends beyond our immediate circle. They will meet new people in life, and discussions about gambling, for example, may still come up. If they are aware of the risks, they will be better equipped to handle such situations maturely.

But those are basic needs, universal for everyone, so people would really complain if they become expensive. Although some individuals have vices in life that could lead to financial struggles, we cannot relate that to the problem, as it requires a personal approach on an individual basis. The problem is quite general; hence, the solution needs to be for everyone. At the end of the day, our government does not engage in a blame game here; they have to find a specific solution to the problem.

I wasn't too sure they'd cover the spread when the game went into OT, but I'm still holding out hope. The spread was -8, so it's a long shot for them to cover in just 5 minutes. Considering the Cavaliers have been dominating from the start, it's tough to expect that turnaround, but losing would be disappointing. Anyhow, they're back on the court tomorrow against the Wolves, who are undefeated at home. Do you think they can beat the home team or at least win that points handicap?

The smartest group in that list is the TEAM USA, they don't need to risk money to buy bitcoin, they just confiscate bitcoins and now they at the top 10.

They work smart not hard. LOL

Personally, I accumulate bitcoin, as in continuesly accumulating, but Im not as smart as them.. and I don't mind not getting in the list, as long as I owned bitcoin for my future, who knows, what if bitcoin could price at $1 million a piece, that would mean a fortune for me.

You could have won that bet if the Jazz hadn't been shooting bricks. The Lakers outscored them significantly, with a 32-point win, and the Jazz were limited to less than 100 points in the game. Both JC and Markkanen were on lockdown, so the offense wasn't flowing for the typically high-scoring Jazz. If I'm not mistaken, this is their first game where they didn't reach at least 100 points. Just a bad game for the Jazz.

I didn't even think it would happen. The only possibility I considered was that Philly wouldn't be able to cover the spread, but they ended up losing anyway. It felt like they put in so much effort to bring the game to OT, only to lose in the extra time. But you know, that's just the nature of the game. Philly has its off days, and we can't underestimate the Cavaliers. They're a solid team that doesn't rely heavily on Mitchell, unlike Philly, which leans a lot on Embiid.

Socialization becomes relevant when gambling primarily for enjoyment, particularly in a physical casino. However, critical thinking is very important every time you engage in gambling serving as a guide for making the right decisions.

Employing critical thinking implies consistently making sound choices, steering clear of letting emotions dictate your actions. While winning in gambling isn't guaranteed, critical thinking does provide assurance in minimizing the risk of exceeding your limits and losing beyond what you can afford.

You should appreciate the fact that their spending habits could contribute to the profitability of your father's business. Thanks for sharing your observation. People have diverse approaches to spending, whether it's on wants or needs, and our unique perspectives stem from various influences. Given your parents' involvement in the business, you likely understand how to effectively manage your funds and prioritize your expenses. However, others may find inspiration in spending, viewing it as a motivator to work hard and earn money.

In our world, business ownership is pursued by a select few, while the majority opt for employment. As we're aware, only a small percentage achieve wealth, with the majority leading simple lives, not financially free, and unfortunately, a significant number still grappling with poverty.

It might beat Bitcoin in that specific aspect, but overall, Bitcoin holds more value, and that's quite evident. I believe Monero has potential for future growth, but it's unlikely to surpass what Bitcoin has already achieved. Bitcoin remains the main cryptocurrency accepted by the majority, and even though it doesn't offer complete privacy due to government regulations, we still need Bitcoin to lead the market. This way, altcoins like Monero can have a chance to progress.

I totally get the legal process, but if we had a similar case like this in our countries, I doubt it would take even close to 5 years before the final decision is released. I understand that the Supreme Court is the highest court in the Philippines, and its decisions are final and can't be appealed. However, waiting for 9 years, in my opinion, is still way too long.

Certainly, the Supreme Court made the right call, and I'd say justice was served. However, what irks me about this story is that it took them a delay of 9 years to reach a decision on such a simple case. Considering it's a government agency involved, you'd think they could have expedited the investigation.

I don't know, perhaps the lottery winner gradually lost hope of ever getting their prize, so they must have been extremely happy when the decision finally came out.

He fought to claim his winnings, and I think it's worth the wait. Twelve million pesos is still a lot of money; he's now one of the millionaires in the Philippines, so he should be happy with that. The 6% interest per annum is another bonus, so I guess he'll now live a good life with the money he won from the lottery.

The good thing is that the court has honored his winnings. I thought when a ticket is already destroyed, it's automatically non-acceptable, but the ruling of the court favors him but the sad part is after nine long years. What kind of justice system is that?

We have different approaches to gambling. If you believe gambling is just for fun, then you should stick with that. That means you only have to gamble occasionally since you are not serious about gambling. On the other hand, those gamblers who aim to win in the long run will gamble more to gain experience, improve their skills, and increase their chances of winning the jackpot.

However, we should all have one common attitude, and that is to be disciplined while gambling and spend only what we can afford. While we may differ in strategy and the amount of bankroll, we are guided by the same principle to minimize the risk.
