But gambling habit is another case that we don't have to keep secret, especially from our family. They have the right also to know what makes us busy and besides, whatever happens to us like getting into trouble because of our addiction, they were to help us.

Well, I could say that I was different from you and probably different from others too because I believe that our family is a part of our life. Some things would be kept secret and alone but the majority will be known to them as well. I'd preferred to tell my family as trusted them most rather than telling my friend which could possibly spread more about the issue.

NBA and FIBA are quite distinct, with FIBA being a highly physical game where teams focus solely on winning for their country without concern for the future. When a European team wins, it's not surprising due to their hard-playing style, which characterizes their league as very physical. The players representing the USA aren't necessarily the best in the NBA. Despite their impressive performance in tune-up games, I remain skeptical about their ability to dominate in the actual competition.

That is all we know and that is based on our observations. And one reason why we only see a few women are in casinos or gambling because they are not comfortable doing and sometimes they are concerned about their security and even for me, I don't allow my partner to get involved in gambling, and probably the same with others.
Well, in my country women are very welcome but can't just ignore some people will judge women differently when they gamble. Whether it was a sort of discrimination or not but it was not right to see women gambling.

Not totally the assurance that it they will make it. Of course, a developer will say something promising in order to gain the trust and attention of the community making it believe that they can give the best thing possible. However, in many instances happens that they only just promise but have never happened in actual. This is why it was hard to determine if that project is worth investing in unless they will witness its performance. In fact, just like Bitcoin before, only it gains massive attention when it shows something different which makes people invest in it.

I would never say it was a sign for another bear market but yes, can't hide the fact that the market is facing another hard time due to low buying demand and support. However, despite the current situation, I don't think it going to dip below $20k, yet it is possible for $24k. I'd see that this year is full of test and market surprise as we thought that after reaching $30k we may see it moving close to $35k but it goes in the opposite direction and even fall hard. But still, I don't give up yet as it recovers later, the same thing happen in the past few days yet, we can never say it was too quick.

That situation is very usual in trading because not all the time the market is doing well and also our decision making. But in this case, if that keeps on going and repeatedly happens, there is a problem with our strategies. Sometimes we don't have to stick to a single strategy if is not effective anymore but must have to look for something that will fit the current trend.
Stopping is not the best option for me especially if I know in myself that I can improve my trade. It is just finding the right and most effective strategy in every market change which is why it was very important that we need to know how to analyze the market situation very well.

I'm not if they are selling because they are worried about the situation as nothing it supports with that but for sure, these people are selling for some reason so whatever it was, it doesn't matter.

Yes, we are still given a chance to buy Bitcoin at a correction price before the halving will start. I say that this year would be our time to accumulate more in anticipation of the price surge that will occur next year. I encourage people to buy but must keep on their limitation as well, - invest only the amount that we can afford to lose.

Generally, it emphasizes here the importance of doing deep research on a particular project before investing. This is the most important thing to do in order to avoid falling into scam projects because even if it was suggested by some forum members and any influential personalities, it is our obligation to undergo separate assessments just to make sure that we are investing in the right project. Because what I see is that many people (new investors) had invested in new projects without any piece of information about the project, they only just hear it from some friends and then believe it. But it was not enough, we should be more cautious when investing knowing that scam projects are flooded in the market already.

I'm happy to see that the Philippines is leading. I hope they can win this game, as it will boost their confidence for the actual game.

Currently, there's a break. The Philippines' moneyline (ML) odds are 1.23, and they are favored by -6.5 points. I can't believe we are the favorites here; I thought Ivory Coast was a strong team. At the moment, I'm not tempted to bet because the Philippines is favored, but I'm hoping they will win.

I saw the odds at Sportsbet.

If we can make $1 - $2 per day, there is a possibility that we can make $5-$10 a day. Yes, it is all about finding the most effective strategy and huge capital as well. Though earning $1 a day is not really satisfying but at least it was better than doing nothing. Well, as it keeps going, we can learn more things that can help improve our way of trading as we can't expect it instantly but as scalpers, there is a huge chance of getting higher especially if we already have long trade experience. We don't need to rush but have to keep timing together with hard work and perseverance.

Not totally it paints bad but we know that some people had used Bitcoin as a medium for their illegal activities and fraud which the authorities assume was solely created for this stuff and to promote crimes. There is a misunderstanding about how it works because what it is in their minds is that they consider Bitcoin a threat to the security system where it increases crime rates and fraud activities as they have caught some people using this. Though we can't agree on how they would asses Bitcoin, we still know and are aware that it really happened.

And I did as it was important that it was included in our plan to whether our investment would be long-term or short-term so we can also easily decide when to sell.
It was stressful if we keep looking at the market chart. An investors, we are not day traders who have to check the market every day because we already have a timeline for when to sell our Bitcoin. We just check it when it was almost near because if we keep checking it that possibly will affect our mindset and goal and supposedly not. In order to stay on our goal, we don't have to do this but just check the market when it was already near.

If Sotto is quick enough, that could possibly happen. However, their opponents also have big players who can dominate the paint, particularly the Dominican Republic, who have Towns playing. The question now is, can Kai Sotto defend Karl Anthony Towns? Personally, I don't think he can, and none of the Gilas Center could stop Towns, if Gilas should make sure that their outside shooting is consistent so they can make this an interesting game to watch.

Either Embiid will request a trade, or he will get traded. Given what's going on within the organization, there's a likelihood that Embiid might not stay with the 76ers. Just consider what might happen to the 76ers' season if Harden sits out, since the management doesn't plan to trade him. Do we think Embiid will be happy with that? Next season will likely be a determining factor in Embiid's decision, as this team lacks a long-term plan and struggles in taking care of its players.

This year2023 was not really a great year for crypto investment but at least it wasn't bad compared to last year. However, with the current situation, I see this as a good time to start accumulating some Bitcoin because a few years from now. That is why we don't have to miss this opportunity but rather grab it while the price is still low because we believe that after halving there is a price surge the same thing that happens before. But still, we need to take extra caution and keep on this saying - "invest only the amount that we can afford to lose".

The new rules are likely to bring more excitement, as they wouldn't have been created in the first place if they weren't intended to. Despite being the most popular basketball league in the world, the NBA's commissioner is still striving to maintain its interest by introducing new rules. I've recently read about these new rules, but they haven't fully sunk in yet. Perhaps I'll grasp them better once I watch the actual games.

For those who are curious, here's the rules

The misunderstanding between Tapales and Inoue already favors Casimero, as either boxer could face Casimero as their challenger. So, perhaps Casimero is content with the situation, as it could expedite his chance to be in a championship fight. First, Tapales vs. Casimero, and then Casimero vs. Inoue – that's a promising journey. It would enhance Casimero's reputation if he were to defeat his fellow boxer and dethrone him, given that the scenario were to unfold. I'm quite optimistic that it could occur, provided Inoue ruin the possibility of that unification fight against Tapales.

As far as I remember, the only time I knew that Inoue vs. Casimero had a scheduled fight was before the pandemic. It was canceled because of the ongoing pandemic. However, once everything became clear, Casimero was expecting that they would make the fight happen. Unfortunately, Inoue's camp didn't respond to that.

Casimero had problems with his weight, which led to his belt being stripped. He violated the rules, though. Here's the full story of that.

The point is, if Inoue was really interested in fighting Casimero, he should have sign the deal right away after the pandemic, but he choose the other direction.

There's no doubt that the PBA has greater resources, but if they ignore the critics, I don't anticipate them maintaining their top position in the future. Although the MPBL might not be on the same scale as the PBA, with increasing supporters and investors, they could potentially evolve into a significant league. Sponsors play a vital role, and in today's age, broadcasting their games is not a challenge, ensuring widespread awareness. While it's a journey from the outset, I wouldn't underestimate the league's potential, given the strides they've already made.

Yes, we usually thought that was too easy but if you don't have good knowledge about Bitcoin and how to manage your wallet, you will be surprised that your funds are already gone. That is why I don't agree that Bitcoin is for everyone but rather say that we all have the opportunity, yet it is only our choice or desire to do it as it was not a good idea to force someone when they are not capable enough as in the end, they only regret it.
So I say, those who can afford to take risks can try Bitcoin but if not, better to forget it and look for an investment that we think can do it.
