That Clippers vs. Jazz game was indeed highly entertaining. I, unfortunately, bet on the other side, thinking that the healthy Clippers would be too much for the Jazz, even on the road. No regrets, though, as it was a thrilling game. The Clippers fought hard, but the Jazz displayed their own clutch capabilities. They remain composed under pressure, and their teamwork and willingness to take shots were evident.

Clarkson's dagger shot was a game-changer and secured the win for the Jazz. Without it, the outcome might have been different, but it's doubtful that the Clippers would have covered the spread.

One thing I've noticed is Westbrook's limited shot attempts in this game. He only took 4 shots. Has he lost confidence in his shooting ability?

Are we expecting an early bull season just because there is a sudden price surge for bitcoin? For me, this is not enough reason, but I can see that this is just part of market price correction as there are really times that bitcoin price will suddenly surge high but after that, it will eventually drop low again and stay in its original price. And I know it's happening right now since bitcoin is currently priced at $33k.

However, even if the market goes suddenly bullish or bearish, I think we don't hold the market as to how it behaves. The important thing is we try to grab opportunities to invest in bitcoin when the price is given us chances to invest before its price will ultimately reach its new all time high.

The confidence exuding from the Heat is certainly something we shouldn't overlook. While the Celtics may have a deeper roster and strong starters, the Heat have a belief that they can conquer them. Considering this, I find the -8 point spread for the Celtics to be quite excessive. It might be a good opportunity to consider the Miami Heat moneyline for this one.


Warriors being the underdog? Damn, we don't get to see that kind of odds all the time. I guess Warriors owned the kings, and probably CP3 will have an improve performance, so yeah,  let's get the Warrior moneyline on the road.

 I don't think he needs to engage in trash talk if it's not his nature, especially against a boxer like Inoue, who's aptly called "the beast." This is arguably the biggest fight of his career, and in terms of promotion, they're looking to ensure they'll have a bigger earnings, which often means grabbing the attention of fans. While trash talk can boost sales, it's not a strategy for everyone.


Casimero's recent behavior is quite different from what we've seen from him before he become popular. As I mentioned earlier, it could be just another marketing tactic. Boxers understand that they have the potential to earn more money if they adopt a more brash and cocky persona, especially when they are challenging the best in the sport.

In Casimero's case, I believe there's still a chance for him to become a champion again. However, when it comes to facing Inoue, there are rumors circulating that Inoue may not be interested in fighting him anymore, possibly due to disappointment with Casimero's recent performances.

I'm pretty sure the 76ers were well aware that this situation was going to happen. It's puzzling why Harden hasn't been traded yet, especially when the season has already started. They should have made the trade before the season began to allow for better chemistry among the players involved in the Harden trade.

Although they put up a good fight in their game against the Bucks, it's evident that they were undermanned, and they ended up losing the game. The longer they keep Harden on the team, even if he's not playing, the more challenges they'll face in each game. It's high time they make a wise decision, even if it feels a bit late.

I've heard a rumor that Ginebra has secured Tony Bishop as their import. Now, Bishop isn't new to the PBA, having played as an import for a different team previously. The big question is, can he bring a championship to the best team in the league?

What's your take on Tony Bishop? Do you think he has what it takes to lead Ginebra to a championship?

Here's the player's statisticis

The market is very speculative, so its not surprising anymore that what we have are just only predictions since we can't get ahead of the market and view its future. However, predictions if filtered and studied very well, then we can use it as our future basis in the market. There's no wrong if you rely in some predictions when you trade or invest in the market as long as you do your own research as well how did that certain prediction comes up. And when you see that there are high possible chances that it will come into reality, then try to consider it but never focus on a single prediction only but be open-minded always especially that the market is beyond of our control.

Emotions can be a great enemy in trading. And I realize that the real challenge in trading is not just to trade and stay in profits but to control the emotions that have already developed deep within us, the reason why it's too hard to feel less of our emotions as they can most of the time overpower our minds and end up ruining our trades. However, just like what mirakal has said, when you adopt the right strategy to use, controlling your emotions will follow as its very crucial to be successful traders.

And when it comes about mixing trading with drinking, you know this is sometimes hard to avoid especially that with online trading, you need to also feed your thirst while your mind is busy in trading. But if you can avoid it, then do your best to avoid it so you won't end up damaging your trades.

 It all comes down to the individual preferences and skills. One can exceed in investing but fail to succeed in trading, or the vice versa, or one can do both because he's capable to succeed from investing and trading. And I think a lot of us here are taking risks in both endeavors.

However, due to the fact that trading offers bigger and quick profits than investing, people decide to learn to trade because they believe that it can be done easily as long as knowledge, skills and experience are present.  But when you're already in live trading, you will realize that skills are not enough. You need to have more control of your emotions for you not to end up with wrong decisions, otherwise your trades will end up being screwed. That's the reason why majority still end up focusing more in investing than trading because its certainly less risky and stress free.

I believe what the OP is inquiring about is real sports betting, where actual individuals engage in betting on real-world sporting events, as opposed to virtual betting, which likely involves characters within a particular video game rather than real people.

In real sports betting, there are various styles of betting. You can place pre-game bets, predicting the outcome of the game before it starts, and there's also live betting, where you can wager while the game is in progress. In live betting, the odds fluctuate much like the stock market, providing an exciting dynamic to the betting experience.

I think that's just the rule they have to follow. According to report this is what happenned.



And this too, means he will not be able to play for 6 months, probably he wasn't suspended before that's why it was only served now.



It's fair if the suspension is based on the rules of the PBA, if not, it isn't anymore.

I'm sure many of you, like myself, miss the old format, and I'm really excited that the NBA is working to make it more attractive to the fans. Going back to the classic East vs. West setup, rather than the current format with team captains drafting players, truly brings back the essence of the All-Star game. It's a lot more reminiscent of the Finals where the best from the East and the West compete for the trophy. I have to say, I think it's a fantastic change.

That's just Jokic being Jokic. He's on the job now, and he's just doing what he does best being Mr. Consistency. He can easily put up that triple-double. Actually, he might have deserved the MVP award last season, but it went to Embiid. It's in the past now, so let's leave that behind. I'm just having a little sidetalk about that because I believe he was more deserving.

Now that he's already won a championship, his confidence is overflowing. Surely, winning the MVP this season won't be difficult for him.

Actually he is the top favorite now.

That would be a great title for him. Upsetting Inoue is like an uphill battle, but there's always a possibility. We shouldn't lose our trust in Tapales because he is only few of the Filipino champions now. I have to say that Tapales isn't as hyped as Casimero because some fans think that it should be Casimero who will be fighting Inoue. But a win here will certainly put him at the top and make him the best in the super bantamweight division. It would be a huge setback for Inoue if that possibility becomes a reality.

What's your goal? If you're holding for the long term, then the current market hype doesn't matter much. What we're witnessing might just be a temporary market frenzy, and prices could go up or down. No one can guarantee where the price will go, but if you're holding for the long haul, you should be fine.

You bought at 31k, and if you look at it now, that's already an instant profit. But since you're thinking of buying more at a higher price, I assume you're in it for the long term. I'm pretty sure that when the bull run comes, you'll likely enjoy even more profit if you intend to sell. However, as I mentioned, make sure you have a clear goal in mind.

I thought this guy was Chinese, given his last name is Zhong. But his action was careless because  one wrong move, and that $3 billion, at the current price, ends up in the possession of the US government. He probably wasn't fully aware of the potential consequences of his actions at the time because he made a move that could trace his wallet for an $800 withdrawal only. I'm not sure if what they found as evidence against him is entirely accurate because based on his actions, he seems like just a regular guy who, due to a lack of knowledge about the law, made a mistake.

But the good news is that he was sentenced to "one year and one day in federal prison." He's probably regretting it big time, especially watching how Bitcoin has grown since. This article coming out during the bull run must be haunting him even more.

These scammers don't pick their moments; in times of global chaos, they seem to thrive even more. I'd go so far as to say they're worse than the people we condemn for taking lives, at least if we look at history. The latter often have some cause they're fighting for, but scammers are just exploiting the situation.

The OP's effort is a great way to raise awareness in the community. I'm pretty sure that those who aren't newcomers to the market have seen these kind of scams many times before and won't fall victim to them. But still, kudos for the effort, as a constant reminder can help us avoid making mistakes and falling for these scams.

How about going to college? Maybe you will use your allowance to sustain your studies so if that’s the case, then I suggest to never invest in bitcoin for now but focus on your studies first so your attention won’t be diverted into bitcoin. But you can earn a portion of your allowance so you can invest in bitcoin in the future. Although it’s a good idea to invest at a young age, but I don’t think you’re capable enough to manage your losses if ever as that will surely affect your studies as well.

Bitcoin investment is actually for everyone. But if you want to expect positive and profitable outcome, I suggest you start investing when you already have your own source of income. That way, even if you decide to invest for long term, that will never be a problem as long as you invest only your spare money that you can afford to lose. And when it comes to long term hodling, chose to be patient always and have faith on your investment. No matter how unpredictable the price of bitcoin, that will not bother you at all since your trust is bigger than your fears.

Just like what OP has said, bitcoin is a broad topic and needs a lot of studies and understanding, so it’s normal to create mistakes especially if you are still in the process of learning bitcoin. As long as you admit your mistakes and you’re open to correct those misconceptions so that other people won’t perceive wrong ideas, then it’s very fine. Even professionals do not come as perfect when it comes to learning bitcoin.

However, as much as possible before you try to post something in the forum, make sure that what you have are facts coming from legit sources and not because majority of the people are telling you that it’s the right thing. Remember, this forum cannot tolerate wrong ideas and concepts most especially when it comes to bitcoin. You have to be precise and accurate on whatever you say because that will also reflect about your identity in the forum. Although we are not perfect but at least we try to become perfect on the thoughts and ideas that we instill to other forum members.

They won’t be so called effective crypto influencers if they don’t act like technical analysts. So these YouTubers pretend to know everything about bitcoin and make wild predictions as if they’ve seen it really coming. But the reality is they really don’t know what they’re talking about since they do their jobs not because they are highly capable and knowledgeable to do it but because they are making a good compensation of it. And only real bitcoin analysts can prove it since they have been in the market for years watching how bitcoin and the rest of crypto works.

However, we can’t generalized this kind of thought because we all know that there are also YouTubers who have been doing their jobs from their best of abilities and skills. They don’t care on their earnings but they focus on more on how they’ll educate the people with facts about bitcoin and the crypto market, so they won’t be blinded by some too good to be true projects that will only scam them in the end.
