Lakers had a mini comeback, but they made a wrong execution in the end. It was heartbreaking as they were unable to complete it, and the Knicks won the game, splitting the two games at the Lakers' home court.

They wasted a lot of time in the dying seconds and failed to foul right away, which resulted in their inability to execute a good game plan. It was a bad play, and they seemed to be experiencing a mental breakdown.

Yes, they made it down to 2 points, but they allow the Knicks to score as they foul Josh Hart, and then make those 2 FT. I think it's just bad play in the 4th quarter as they look for more isolation play.

But good experience for them at least with this kind of lost, it's a winnable one, but they really need to really focus specially when they make the comeback in the 3rd quarter. But lost concentration in the 4th and it's kind late when they have to do the catch up again in the last 4 minutes of the game.

It's normal to foul in that situation, but what's not normal is taking too much time before fouling Josh Hart. It's just unfortunate that he didn't miss the free throw, and even if the Lakers made the 3-point shot, time was not in their favor. Maybe they'll reflect on what happened, as they came back but wasted the opportunity to have a chance to win in the end.

They should talk and analyze what lapses they've made and try not to repeat that same mistake, almost a good rally but in that last dying minutes they've failed to have good decision making.

Still no LeBron and they are doing or playing with good chemistries, the winning chance is good for the Lakers
it's just a learnable mistake that they can work out and adjust to their future games.

I simply think that they believe in usdt as a traditional paper currency because of its pure value, not bitcoin. They may have overlooked the larger and more serious risks to tether such as a massive tether withdrawal or a sudden and rapid loss of trust in Tether. What is happening with USDC and BUSD. Lol, I guess bitcoin still deserves more acceptance.


Yeah, pure value and serve as a representation of the US dollar. They are willing to use it as payment and not Bitcoin because of other factors, especially the volatility of its value.

Using USDT, the transaction will proceed without worrying of any possibility that the value will fall or the
value will pump, with USDT to tether there're no changes and it will continue as it is.

We're not at the party or in a meeting that we think we come late for not coming before its start. As long as there is Bitcoin available on the market to buy, nothing we can say that we are late. However, many years had passed by while we do nothing even though we hear about crypto, we really missed the opportunity as well. That is the thing we only got but fortunately, we still have the chance to start and make a journey this time. Take this opportunity OP while prices are still low and choose only potential coins whether it was for long-term or short-term investment.

As long as there's still the market that moving even you think you are late, the opportunity is still open. We can't say if the timing is right but if we believe that we can still be compensated best to begin your journey.

You need to work with your knowledge and make sure that you properly understand everything before
you dive in and make your investment, rushing things might cause you to lose your hard-earned investment.

I think 48 hours is more like "if all goes according to plan" situation, and even in that it takes 24+ hours for sure, and less than 48 hours, there aren't that many cases you get it back in a few hours, that just doesn't happen.

However, if things do not go according to the plan, then we are talking about a situation where it can easily take longer than 48 hours, and until what is wrong gets figured out, it could take as long as a week. I am not against these, I had it happen to me before and I was fine about it for two reasons. First of all duelbits is a trusted and well liked place, secondly I did not do anything wrong so I had nothing to worry about. Combine those two, and you know there is no problems.

I know it can take longer than 48 hours for various reasons but not a lot of people are patient nowadays and we all want to have things instantly. Especially, if you are awaiting money and your KYC keeps lingering, than you can get impatient.

Not that I'm against with but yeah you are correct, there are impatience people who will push their way to fasten the process, but like what the post above you said.

If you know that you don't do anything wrong and you trust the site that you are playing, then there's nothing to
worry, you can always ask the support and ask for some assistance or update regarding to your submitted documents.

nowadays there are very many people who borrow money to open a business whose business has not fully run well, so with a courage, every time the bill they borrow there is always a way to pay it, even though they have to borrow from others which will also be paid off later, and most of them can end this difficult time until they can run a business without having to borrow money from others, Until now, success can be felt, but there are also as they also cannot pay off their loans and eventually all the assets they have will be taken over by the borrower.

The problem with balancing loans and your daily expenses, if you know how to limit yourself and know how to find additional ways to earn, taking loans and use it for business is something that you can control.

But, those who are taking loans and can't handle their finances, they are prone to keep finding additional loans
since they needed to pay the first one and the cycle will just continue to do that, they will ask for more to the
point that they are just only working or doing business just to pay for the loans.

 Do remember, this is still a memecoin and I suggest to stay away from it, but due to it's popularity it became one of the good choice when we are talking about memecoins only.
This will always be a memecoin, but with the shitty price right now there is nothing wrong in holding a few hundred dollars worth of coins, you never know if someone would come up to hype up the coin and if there is a rally there is nothing to loose, so it is not a bad idea but then who knows how long this stupid meme coins will last as we already have a solid coin in Doge Wink.

Just use the money that you are willing to let go in case that something is not right happen then you can quickly move forward and accept the risk that you take.

We don't know how the market will move and we all know that meme asset sometimes surprise the
traders and investors, with how unpredictable this venue was, you really needed to make sure that
you are willing to gamble with fate.
687  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Doge really go to the moon? on: March 10, 2023, 11:31:01 PM
but I'm no longer sure about Shiba, I see Shiba Inu as playing with all its holders, besides that I see Shiba Inu as needing investors who have the most wealth like Elon Musk, without any tweets from Elon Musk then this Shiba doesn't mean anything. well, thus in my opinion the shiba inu is not worth holding for a long time
This is a DOGE thread btw though both of them are just depending on a hype and without it we cannot expect them to pump that much. DOGE might find its utility by being accepted by many merchants especially with Tesla, I don’t think its enough to pump its price though it is still possible in the next bull run since everything can happen in an instant and we don’t know how the whale works.

Yup, anything can happen, especially if there's money that flowing around. We can't conclude what the future will bring as we witness the pump when the bulls how it's dominance before.

It can be a repeated scenario inside the market or maybe it won't happen again, but the fact that there
are still investors and traders who support Doge. We really can't tell if we may see it going to the moon or
it will remain the same.

And there is only one person that can pump Doge and that is Elon Musk. We've seen how powerful his influence to the Doge market during it's huge run in the bull run. Actually not only Doge but Elon put a lot of buying pressure on Bitcoin as well.

But we will have to see, it seems the Elon is very quite now as far as his support to Doge.

And who knows, maybe when he starts to shill again this coin, many are going to follow him and repeat what had happen before.

Nothing but shill, and we will see reactions from those who are still following Elon Musk. If he starts doing his old tactics, we will see
traders and investors to start showing their interest.

We don't know when or if he's still going to bring that shill with Doge as like what you said, he's quiet and not
doing anything yet, maybe he's just waiting for a good timing or he already earned a lot from that last shill
that he did.

EDIT: Warriors from being down 4, have went back to being down to a 18 point deficit at halftime, but then is it what risking the ML on Warriors @ 4.57

The struggle continues for the Warriors. It should have been their best chance to win since Morant was out, but it turns out the game was completely one-sided, with Memphis dominating them. Well, I guess the best strategy now is to never stop supporting the Warriors until they break their losing streak. Their best chance to win is at home, regardless of the betting spread.

In their next game, they'll be back at home with enough rest, but take a look at the team they'll be playing against: the Bucks, which is currently the hottest team. So, I guess it's going to be a huge challenge for them. However, I like the situation they are in since they are playing at home and against a good team. It's definitely a moneyline situation.

The home court advantage is mostly the strength of the Warriors,

Maybe it's tough to judge if how they will perform against the Bucks, knowing that the team is really something that
tough to handle.

Especially if all the players are doing great with the core starting 5 that's very competitive. Warriors needed to find that
rhythm to start winning games.

What could be the reason for someone wanting to pay in Tether and not bitcoin? 

my understanding is that using bitcoin, you will not have to worry about your crypto being frozen.   

Could there be any reason for tether being advantageous in such transaction?
For payment only, although i have bitcoin maybe i will convert to tether, because with tether sometimes merchant have list of options about network that we can use. Of course i will pick which cost lowest fee, because people doing payment not only about big transaction but every transaction although it is only a few dollar.

It affects the condition in terms of fees most of the time, traders or end users will check with how much will be the cost and see also the speed when doing the transactions.

I can say that personally, tether will be a good option if you want to do it without worrying about changes
of the value, with crypto, volatility affects the amount or the value of your transactions, plus the fee
that you needed to pay.

After being traded to Durant, the thing I feared most and always said was injury. Durant got injured after playing a few more matches, unfortunately he is old and I think that's why he can get injured more easily than other players. If he suffers such an injury during the playoffs, we won't see a good result for the Phoenix Suns.
The team needs Durant, I hope he recovers soon and doesn't get injured again

They need KD to enhance the chance of winning the title. It's a good trade indeed if KD did not suffer for another injury, but we really can't tell what the future will be for each player.

That accident will affect the chance but not necessarily can dictate or accurately tell that it will be
the outcome, the league is still far and there are still changes that may take place.
691  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | VIP | Instant withdrawals!|ARGENTINA & AVFC on: March 09, 2023, 07:54:44 PM
Not only KYC request but also different concern that consume Duelbits support time. Also most the casino doesn’t have the instant verification feature for KYC unlike exchange offer because they manually verify the documents or submit it to the 3rd party who verify KYC for them. I experience undergoing KYC on other casino which took me a week to play again. I believe 3 to 7 days is the standard waiting of KYC procedure on Duelbits.
I don't think verification in centralized exchange is instant, it should be manually checked because it's easy for someone to create a fake KYC. Manual checking is used in order to see if the identity is true what he have submitted, if the face is different then of course the casino or exchange will reject it and ask to retake. Or they will ask more verification in order to more knowing the person behind the account.

It's very important to make sure that the person who is submitting the documents is the rightful owner of the account. KYC verification might take some time.

But in terms of speed might be possible that centralized exchange can be much quicker as they are doing lots
of verifications and they might have also third party verification services.

the good thing about him is that when he does play, he still delivers his usual production.

Because he is actually being able to perform well whenever he is eventually being able to play, I believe that they should give him enough rest so that when he is able to play, he is performing great. Now if they do not give him proper rest, he is going to be more injured and he will also not be able to perform well when he is playing. Now if this is unacceptable for the team, and they want to replace him, it is totally understandable. But if they want to have him, they will have to make some sacrifices.

The Suns have the liberty to give Durant more rest since they are in the top 4 in the Western Conference, which means their playoff spot is relatively secure at the moment. In fact, the Suns only struggled when Booker was injured and out for a while. Now that he is back, they will be able to continue on their winning path while Durant waits to deliver big-time come playoffs.

It's better to give him that rest and reserve everything in the next round. Booker can do the lift for now together with the original core CP3 and Ayton. He needs to continue what he originally doing before acquiring Durant.

At their current standing, the playoff spot is closer. Just do everything to try to win more games and wait till
Durant is ready to play with them again. We all know how deadly they are with a healthy Durant.

Regarding the shortcut, no, I don't think so too. There's not enough competition in his former weight class anymore and he had all the belts so I guess that's living proof of it. What will he do there? Get old and be beaten someday? Whoever said he did cut corners, that's just foolish.
I like how wise his camp is, keep on moving forward, that should be the goal. Break records.

That's the best way to maximize his talent, by pushing his limits. I'm sure he still has a lot to prove in a higher division. With his power, he might likely achieve what Manny Pacquiao had achieved in the past, so he has to be aggressive in moving forward, and of course, he should beat Fulton first.

That's very important. We can say that he got the talent and the power, but he needed to win first against Fulton to prove that he really had that capability to follow the footstep of Pacquiao.

Moving to another division is indeed the right thing to do. He will try his power in this new weight and see
if he can strip and collect belts, I see the possibility that he also will try to unify the belts. Then if he succeeds,
he can try moving to another.
694  Economy / Economics / Re: Is taking a loan/debt addicted ? on: March 09, 2023, 04:32:48 PM
So true. it is better for us to always prepare ourselves financially for our future as always routinely setting aside money for savings. small nominal is not a problem. the important thing is we consistently do it. This is done so that when we have an urgent need, we don't need to take out a loan because we have money in our savings that we can use when we really need it. it's better to avoid loans so that we avoid the problems that come after.
If we consistently save every day, week or month then we already have savings for urgent needs, it doesn't matter for nominal savings because we must have savings for urgent needs for unpredictable conditions in the future, we don't know how our health or economic conditions will be in the future , so it is highly prioritized for us to allocate funds for daily expenses, salaries or other income for savings for urgent needs.

Having extra spare when there're unexpected emergencies will allow us not to worry that much, unlike if we don't have any available money, the effect is really hard for our finances.

To the point that we will be needed to barrow/lend money that will lead us to be stuck in paying either in a
weekly or monthly basis, which will be an additional expense which will add up the burden to our finances.

Elon Musk has no participation with Shiba Inu, only for Dogecoin. If you think that Shiba Inu is useless, then was your take but many investors were still investing in this project despite the risk. Might you be right that this will become worthless in the future but nobody knows exactly, we never know if this is even more profitable than those leading altcoins? With that fact that Shiba is still hot in the market, it is possible to see this will stay long and gain more interest to the investors.

Speculative investors will always take the risk if they still seeing interest from the market, we don't exactly sure what future will be for this asset and how the investors and the traders will play along the way.

If you are not a fan of speculative type of investment better to pick solid asset inside top 10 coins
and wait for the bull run and see if you can earn your target pofits.

If the Lakers successfully got through with healthy the Warriors, I bet they could also find a way to defeat the starless Grizzlies as Ja Morant is now out for the rest of the season.

Lakers manage to beat the Grizzlies at home, a different Memphis when Ja is not playing not sure what happened to them, they are not playing with good chemistry unlike before when Ja is resting they are capable of winning games.

The other two games didn't materialise as both Warriors and favorites did not cover the spread, worse with the
Warriors, as they lose the game, lots of turnovers in the final quarter the rally did not succeed and OKC beat
to defend the home crowd.
698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 08, 2023, 09:51:37 AM
Now the Lakers are in the play-in tournament and we never expected this one to happen in their last games with Westbrook as soon as they released him, they managed to play well even without Lebron. AD is doing well these past few games and they are coming to get that number 6 slot if they continue to win in their next games as well. They can really do well even when they are only a few stars on the court and seems like AD is finding his right rhythm while playing today even though he injured his nose but he continues to dominate the game.

Anthony Davis definitely got it done tonight. The Lakers hot streak continues as they look to make the playoffs. I’m pretty impressed with how well they’ve been doing without LeBron James. No idea when he’ll be back but I imagine when he does the Lakers will be a team to contend with. Playoff bound it seems.

On the other hand, that's also the price Memphis has to pay for not having Morant. It's good for the Lakers as they seem to be playing with great chemistry now. Memphis played two games in LA and lost both of them. It was a great game for Davis, and he had another impressive performance. I really hope that he remains healthy as the Lakers continue to climb and secure a playoff spot.

Davis' presence really matters for the Lakers. Even without LeBron, the chemistry among all the players inside the court is quite impressive. They are sharing the ball and they are making good plays together.

I see your point with Memphis. It's far different when Ja is playing. He added pressure to their opponents and
the focus of the defense most of the time will be on him, giving his teammates good space to produce scores,
moving forward, Lakers now is moving up currently inside the top 10, still have games to play for everyone.
699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 07, 2023, 07:39:27 PM
I think GSW is lowkey still a great team, people are sleeping on them even right now. They are the team that won it all last year, that is why I believe that we shouldn't really expect them to lose right away neither. They had some injury issues all season long which kept them low, but if they are in the playoffs, then they are contenders, of course with the condition that they stay healthy. I personally see a team that has curry, klay, poole, dray all on the same team with some decent role players not really that bad, they are quite good actually. Suns is good, Mavs are good, but GSW will definitely be good too.

They manage to stay afloat even with all the injuries they suffered this year. That is quite impressive. They could have a chance to repeat what they have done last year. They also were not on the top of the ranking last year but were able to win it all. But it will be harder to duplicate that right now since Durant is also in the West now with the Suns. The Warriors are still a contender, but it will be harder to win now.



That addition of Durant to Phoenix will give them a tough competition to repeat the title, West side got a lot of competitive squad who can bring upset to anyone.

It's a matter of how the chemistry and how the coach will blend the players inside the ring, not just the offensive
threat, but also the defense. Lots of adjustments for each team now, we can't predict who'll going to win but
I agree with what you said. Warriors will be there to defend the crown.

I'm loving the instant free coins from this site. Sometimes, when I run out of bankroll, I can use them to gamble and bet on parlays. Sometimes, I win, but most of the time, I lose. But what I really love is the feature that allows us to gamble despite a small chance of winning if used in a parlay bet.

Does the amount we can claim depend on the rank of our account? I noticed that there's a 'VIP progress' feature.

Something that when luck back you up, then you can enjoy the profits that you can withdraw. Most of the time, those who know the
game well is capable of making some decent amount of profits.

But just like you said, sometime you can win but we can deny the fact that most of the time you can
lose a matter of how luck will let you take the advantage of these perks from Duelbits.
