I understand that getting schroder and luwawu for the trade and dealing a bad contract melo and a pick in return MAY look like its a decent trade for OKC but it really isn't. This was a trade to make a space for their luxury tax and they didn't made a lot of space for luxury tax to be low. They are still paying the highest luxury tax in the whole nba and the only players they have that makes sense is russell westbrook and paul george with roberson and adams as great role players.
Having 2 stars and 2 good role players doesn't justify "the biggest luxury tax in the nba" levels of payment. They should have stretched instead. Hawks on the other hand got rid of shcoder but also got melo and waive him. I mean if you are going to waive melo than just wave dennis himself without a trade. Sixers maybe the only part that got something in return.
Agree. Why make the rotation and not trade directly to the Houston Rockets. Used Carmelo as a trading card while Schroder is already a good one. I hope that is just because Houston dont want Schroder in their roster or they may have missed that good trade of their life.
Agree. Don't understand why Houston Rockers are eyeing for Carmelo Anthony. Although chemistry can be learned along the way, I found it difficult to blend if Melo will not adjust. Last season, he was doing a purely catch and shoot unlike back then that his offense is associated with breaching the defense closed to the hoop.
If that transfer to Houston Rockets will happened and if Melo will agree (he should), he can be put on the second squad, yes coming from the bench to boost offense on it. I just don't know if that will be the scenario since Melo is always on a starting lineup since then.
Yeah Carmelo still have those hot hands on the perimeter but he is getting slower and that could be the reason for the lack of penetration on the inside. Ball could be stolen easily if he cant find that speed anymore. The good thing here is D'Antoni already knew how Carmelo plays and where to position him. If it is the 2nd team and Melo agrees then it will be good. But for a superstar, his ego might get in the way. |

We have no proof of that. We dont know who is manipulating it. We cannot even see where it could have been sold. Too many exchanges now to list every dump or pump that will happen.
One thing I am sure. Bitcoin will rise again. For many users that are supporting it, bitcoin will take another bull run and somehow those who bought at 5 digits will get their ROI or better stay and support bitcoin more for they have experience how far it could go.

It looks like they are trusting bitcoin again.
ICO's are failing. Most of them lacks the power to get the hard cap and just try to recover their capital from what they got in the soft cap.
Investors though. They might be thinking twice by now since there is no ROI. Just like you said. When they are listed in an exchange they began to fall in price and can never take that ICO price that they promise. It is a losing side for investors and if I were one I would really get away from it.

Anthony's battle has only just begun. With Anthony being bought out by the Hawks, it is a certain fact. Many teams, including the Rockets, the Heat, and the Lakers, will be fiercely strangled. in.
From the current situation, the Rockets are the most promising team to win Anthony.
And he will be re-united with Mike D'Antoni and they will never get to Finals anymore.  Again there is a cap for all of this. Carmelo's salary is too much and Houston got full of star players on their side to fill up the cap. Now, how can they insert Carmelo with that kind of team? In my opinion, I dont want him (Carmelo) breaking the chemistry that have been planted by the Houston by now. This is a strong team with a chance of a championship. If I were the Houston management then I will just let it be and strengthen the focus on their plays. |

Use to look at groups in telegram but it is not worth it. They are all just Fudsters or just making lies to pump their own coin. No tutorial whatsoever.
What I did? Stayed here in this forum and stick with the stories that I have read.
Then, rely with your own set of skills with your brains working as hard as it can.
Get capital and practice with your own. Best teacher ever.

I just remembered the playoffs of Raptors against the Cavaliers.
Game 4 where DeRozan was on bench because of his off night game.
I think that is already a clue that they will be trading him. Who would bench a superstar like that for a lot of minutes and that is the playoffs. It should not happen. They are already throwing him away even if the game is not over.
You are right about playoffs. It is time to say good bye for DeRozan. I think, Raptors will be stronger this season with the new players. Hope so. But keep in mind Leonard wants to get in Lakers. I dont really know if he will get serious with this year since he is not expecting this. Maybe there will be another trade at mid season before the all star. He could be just using this time to heal more while getting some minutes in game. He might also avoid another injury to make it to the Lakers with a healthy body. |

Very true. Now that is what we call value instead of just looking at the price and converting that into value.
Dont worry though, no one can erase that fact. It will change soon.
First it gained value by being introduced by Satoshi and people behind him supported it. Yes it did hype for demand.
But we should also remember this. Those bitcoins that are bought before could still be in their wallets until now. Demands will come and they will be hungry to get a bitcoin to complete their transactions.

20 percent of the excess money from my salary goes to investmemt and I still think I am freaking cheap.
I have seen guys who go beyond that. I dont say it is unwise. We have our own different decisiom when it comes to investing our money and no one should stop that.
If it is an ICO the maybe the person wants a one shot to become rich in a short amount of time.
I'd still prefer bitcoin. 5 to 10 years then go back see it for yourself.

Kucoin looks pretty when it come to it's UI while Binance looks lame. But I still choose Binance because there is a representative which is CZ that always assure our fund are SAFU and it has the largest volume of any coins.
Correct when it comes to UI and colors I would also pick Kucoin. It is like a reverse color in Binance and somehow that makes confusion. I have heard a lot of conversation in telegram that they have been wrong with what they pick because of that. But I love how they made their android application for ease of users and could also trade anywhere in a faster way rather than using the browser which a lot of times is slow and doesnt refresh. |

That is why we cannot jump into conclusions.
Even if too many FUD's are scattered all over the internet this could always happen.
I have been holding for quite some time and it doesn't change the way I expect from bitcoin.
It will always go back up and it really did now. I dont really look much at the price also but due to this many posts about the bull run then I tried to look too.
It is a good thing. I hope it will last for other holders to be happy.

There is actually no need for other coins. That is why we have mBtc and satoshis.
We can now use it like millions of coins which is seen with altcoins. Imagine if 1 satoshi gains a larger value, then how can you even spend a bitcoin in just a day?
This vould happen only if we all make it as valuable as it should be. You see, this alts could divide the investment which should have been for bitcoin for more demands to come in.

BREAKING NEWS!
The San Antonio Spurs have agreed to trade Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to the Toronto Raptors for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a protected 2019 first-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.
Toronto's first-round pick to San Antonio is a protected 1-20 selection. After one year, it becomes two second-round picks.
A trade call with the teams and the NBA league office is scheduled to begin shortly.
Very interesting trade! I doubt anyone could predict this.
This is the right news. I dont get where the trade is coming from. Did the San Antonio management just made an error or are they really making the value of Leonard as a smaller one because of the injuries? Green and Leonard against a very healthy DeRozan. Hmmm. I will look deeper with this. Analysts might have some different views. |

I think to have a bull market up-coming is the best way to move all the money that you have in altcoins to bitcoin, because with market dominance of Bitcoin the market will go green, and the bull run with start, as far as I am concerned from the previous experience of the bull run more than 55% bitcoin was dominant in the market.
Suggestions?
I dont think so. Too many opinions now. Even with a bull run like this right now they might not transfer it to bitcoin. One reason is the altcoins are also being pulled by the bull run. Why exchange and pay fees for that trade instead of just staying with the altcoin with the same amount in USD. Some are just lazy to do it or they could be looking for an independent bull from their own supported coin. |

I dont think so.
That is your opinion and I respect that.
But we have different sets of minds here. There are believers and there are other kind of thoughts.
What do you know? Maybe in five years you will be using bitcoim as payment instead of that paper which is mostly used by now.
I believe it could happen.
Maybe not five then I will wait for 10.

Smart phone mode so having a hard time to quote. Regarding that Pistons team composed of Chauncey, Rip, Tayshaun and the Wallace's. That is a super team. It is just that they focused on the defense. Problem with super fans is they are looking at the points of a player to see how great he is. This Piston team dont need that. Whenever a game score is below 100 then Piston is the sure winner. That is how hard their defense is. East will be the best to watch actually. There are no underdogs and shinnanigans. Young players with the will to get the crown. While on the West, you will just wait for Houston, GSW and maybe Lakers to see a good fight. |

I have been learning how to trade btc and altcoins by myself and having my experiences. I read online articles on trading signals and what to watch out for. I've made some profits and lost a good deal. Good thing I started with very little capital. Right now everything looks so negative especially as btc went so bearish. I need advice on how to improve my trading because I really want to do this  You've already equipped yourself with the necessity and that is experience. You can read all you can with all the technical analysis of all professionals but it will still not be accurate. Trading crypto is way different than those in forex. One good example is now. Bitcoin price is jumping in different numbers and altcoins are being dragged with it. |

Really dont know. But it already gained a lot since just hours ago.
This could pull more investors if good things could take some time.
I am tired of all the FUD's that have been scattered which are all just guesses. It is about time bitcoin prove itself that it is still undervalued even with the recent price. Time to go with the wave for those who are waiting.

The NBA is really starting to suffer from lack of competition. The Warriors are coasting every year to the Finals and this isn't going to change for the next few years. At least the Eastern conference doesn't havfe Lebron anymore so we won't be seeing the same team from the East.
At some points, I agree with you but take note that this always happen even in the very start of the NBA. Remember the Celtics at around 80's I think when Bird is playing and the Bulls when Jordan, Pippen and Rodman are playing. They dominate the NBA especially when the Celtics won 8 straight NBA championship at around 60's if I remember correctly. You are really an NBA fan because you still remember the old days. The East actually does not give excitement already because all eyes are in the Lakers, Warriors, and the Rockets, these teams are the best in NBA now. But you have to remember that there's still excitement in the game. Do you still remember 2004 finals? Lakers vs Pistons? Lakers: 1. Shaq 2. Kobe 3. Malone 4. Payton That's 3 HOF (Malone, Payton and Shaq) and 1 possible (Kobe). Against Detroit who is lead by Billups, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince. But the Pistons upset the Lakers under Phil Jackson that year and that is a super team, they played superb defense against Lakers offensive power. So don't totally write off the East team right now, because its possible that they can bring something in the table as well. I do agree. They will just have to play harder though. I just dont like the way NBA is now. Garbage time. That should be taken off. There is no such thing as that. This is some kind of thing to protect the players. (star players) How come they are protecting those who are paid too much. They are paid more for them to play hard and not to sit just because they are behind 20 point in 4 minutes. I dont see much of a full court press now. They began to act like lazy bastards who will just walk with the pointguard making the play and not really defend. That respect mode during garbage time. I do not agree with the way they are fighting just because the player of the other team dunked the ball during garbage time. DO DEFENSE!!! so that they cannot dunk the ball. Again that fight happened just because of a garbage time which is not in the dictionary of basketball. There is no such thing. If you are behind then go make STOPS. Try to steal the ball. Make them do freethrows to stop the time and do a great play in a little amount of time. Do it over and over again until you are close to the lead. |

Lol, let's define monopoly first: What is a 'Monopolistic Market'?
A monopolistic market is a theoretical construct in which only one company may offer products and services to the public. This is the opposite of a perfectly competitive market, in which an infinite number of firms operate. In a purely monopolistic model, the monopoly firm can restrict output, raise prices and enjoy super-normal profits in the long run. It's not even monopoly. The cryptocurrency market is a free one, where everyone is free to choose which coins to use. Bitcoin is the largest because the majority gives it high regard, not because it tries to gobble up its smaller competitors -- something which monopolistic firms actually do. The market has actually been increasingly competitive if we use Bitcoin dominance as a "competitiveness" metric. Either way, you can't stop the best from being the most successful. As we know other cryptocurrencies are copying the technology from BTC. So, BTC has the technology advantage that makes it great. So far, I find everybody just trying to copy the technology and strategy from BTC. I have seen you got the correct answer here. Thanks though for bringing that up. To clear minds of others that are being hooked with other coins thinking it is the future. They are all copies specially BCH which almost made to make a confusion to those newbies who wants to buy bitcoin and yet they ended up in a different one. Bad thing is there is no law yet to imprison this people who made it that way. And still they say that is the real bitcoin. BS is piled up in this forum so better go deep in reading. |
