I'm still trying to understand Clippers as an ORG as this team is playing great basketball sometimes and the other times , they are considering basketball a joke...and if I remember well and I do , Clippers was the most hyped team some years ago right ? look what this hype made to them a few years later...
I think it was like 2019 when the Clippers were hyped by the media and other NBA fans because that is the year Kawhi Leonard joined the team. Understandable because he already made a name for himself by joining the Spurs in 2011 and was like one of the hottest players during the 2016 - 2017 season. Unfortunately though, he cannot really carry the Clippers all by himself. Pair him up with Paul George, another dude who's really prone to injury and you'll really have some problems. Well, Kawhi Leonard was a proven elite or even recognized as the league's best player at the time when he left Toronto. The Clippers gambled a lot just to satisfy his demands including his rumored residence that is far from Los Angeles which result in some of their delayed travels, etc. Although he was probably worth it that time, Clippers' management doesn't care if Kawhi would play or not or if he plays with limited minutes because they just want to see him healthy during the playoffs. Now, Clippers is becoming like a joke of an organization. Kawhi seems like he is not in his prime anymore. Maybe they can still reach the playoffs but what they are showing these days are not enough to go deeper. Probably when they acquire Kawhi the expectations is that he will bring them to the championship level together with Paul George. But the history of injuries between this 2 players though, they can't even be healthy for one full season as a tandem. Although they are winning games without either of the two, they can't be like this as a team, I guess it's time for Ballmer to look at this team right now and maybe make a bold move again. Good point, both stars can play ball but if they are not healthy in the entire season, the team adjustments are really tough, if the management will take their move, it' better to deal it now while those stars still have good value. Better to send them to a team that have a championship caliber not to waste the talent and ask for future draft together with a another star type trade. |

Saving money in the bank and investing is risky, nothing is perfect and absolutely safe. Banks are centralized and may face bankruptcy resulting in frozen or even lost funds. Invest the bulk of your funds in Bitcoin and save for an emergency fund. Holding Bitcoin for a long time can look forward to one day earning more profits.
Yeah, nothing is perfect but saving money in the bank is safe IMO. Your money is there being held by there and being kept to their vault, while them, they're going to use it for funding other borrowers need and they'll take more interest than you, the owner of that money. We know how their business goes but you have zero risk in keeping your money in the bank until something wrong goes on. Just like what happened in Lebanon and China, their deposits can't even take their money because that's what the government says so. And for you to avoid that, it's better for you to keep it on your own and just as we keep our bitcoin, you're also the one to hold your cash. Even banks can't guarantee that your money is safe. There's still a situation like filing for bankruptcy that can take place. I also see your point with banks using your saving for lending other users. They earn a lot of money compared to how much they are giving you on a year's basis, If you know how crypto works, investing or saving your coins can bring decent profits only if you understand both risk and profits. |

Nowadays there is a distortion in people's views, as to be an employee was a bad thing, and to be a boss was the ideal. People feel ashamed for being employees of someone else, so it was created an idea that everyone must be bosses as the only way to impose themselves inside the society and those who are employees are already in an inferior status. And that is actually an absurd, because there are spots for everyone inside a production line. Some people are prone to one function, while others are prone to another functions. This way there are spots for everyone and every fields of job.
I beiieve to exist a balance between bosses and employees is what brings harmony to the job market.
Exactly! There's a common sentiment that being an employee is a bad thing and being a boss is a good thing. Everybody needs to play their role perfectly to maintain the balance of production. This is true, everyone tends to prefer being a boss to being an employee, but you don't need to worry too much because not everyone is a successful boss, and they will quickly return to being an employee after a failure. I have seen many cases like this, many people quit their current jobs to become their own bosses quickly, but within a few months, they went bankrupt and returned to their old jobs. It can be said that it is everyone's dream but many of them will realize that not all dreams come true easily. Yes, you have a good point. There are people who think that putting up a business can quickly change their lives, but the moment they start doing it, they will experience failures. It's possible that they will go back to where they belong, working back in a daily basis with the company as they don't have any options, they need to feed their families. |

Beterbiev is older anyways, so the strength and reflexes aren't the same as the previous years.
Yarde's camp needs to work on this one. If they can find the best strategy to take this little advantage against Beterbiev, then he might have to get an opportunity to take down his opponent. Definitely, if they can find some loophole on Beterviev then good, take that advantage, maybe the way he throw his punch or his defensive stance that they can counter and who knows, maybe he can pull an upset. Yarde needs to be in his best form during this fight if he wants to handle Beterbiev. Yarde needs to have stamina enough to last for a 12-round fight because I believe the strategy is to move and fight smart in order to avoid getting hit by Beterbiev. Beterbiev is now a little slower with less strength so I guess Yarde will try to outbox, and throw counters, and if cornered he needs to hold and use his strength to avoid a close-quarter fight. I am rooting for Beterbiev to win so I hope that he still has enough to survive a possible early lead from Yarde who's also a big puncher. Yarde will probably get tired of running in the late rounds and Beterbiev will go for the KO. Yes, he should bring his gas tank in this fight, because Beterviev is known to have not just the punching power, but also to carry the fight if it goes to distance. But if we look at Yarde's physical and body composition, he has a lot of muscle and this could affect him in the later round if he don't know how to preserve his energy. If he doesn't want to do it, then they will have to find a way for him to breath and have a deep lung. So it's either for Yarde to go for broke early because it will be very dis-advantageous for him, as the longer it gets, the more he will gets tired. So it's going to be very hard fight and what is the perfect strategy for him. If he will be engaged to a toe-to-toe exchange of punches, then he needed to work well with his stamina. If he survives with that encounter, the next few rounds will be tough for him. like what you mentioned, Beterviev is not just a heavy puncher but also capable to stand till the last round, and Yarde needs to work on it to make sure that he also has that stamina to fight, else, Beterviev will take this fight from him. |

Investing short term isn't a mistake. We're even investing long term and we can't just tell people to go long if they don't really want to.
Short term investing is a strategy and goal for an investor who's into short term investments. And if he's profitable with that strategy and aim in the market, you can't say that it's a mistake.
Well, for some, it's a mistake but mostly I don't think it's an actual mistake that one has to consider.
I think it's better to say (don't sell too early). When we start to get out of the bear market there will be people who sell early or in the beginning of the bull market, I don't know if OP meant this, but it was notable mistake we witnessed in the previous cycle when a lot of investors sold the last top which was $20k while Bitcoin managed to do ×3 of that within short period. Yeah, it's a mistake for many we've seen that the price later has shooted up and was higher than the earlier folks that have sold it. Can't say that it's a mistake as well but it's just regretting to see that when you're not able to sell at the maximum price, you're feeling that you did a mistake. Selling early depends on how you look at the market because you may see it higher this time and you have to sell early because you don't know if by the next several days, a dump is coming. It's a toug decision especially if you already experienced that huge volaitility, selling early with profits is not a mistake but it serves that you are just wanting to earn with the asset that you hold. If that kind of situation take place, it's better to move forward as you still have profits and that still good compared with mistakenly wait and huge dump happen and you find yourself being trap and unable to sell with profits, worse, you sell your coin with losses. |

You posted in 2021, it's 2023 now, and the price of the MATIC coin hasn't experienced a huge price increase, so I think the reason is because the competition in crypto is getting tougher.
it's because we are still in bearish doesn't matter how good of a coin is, if the trend is bearish it could hardly increase in value, matic has shown some breakouts many times yet it just could go against the waves and increase in the middle of bearish, it always comes back to the trend again. I'm sure once the trend is changing its value could easily rise. there has been rumoured that matic has the flow of big invesments coming in to the coin yet that does nothing. That's valid since we are still in the bearish season, the coin will have the hard time to pump as investors and traders will just simply sell what they've got if there's a pump that will be initiated. We don't know when and how high Matic will be pump but the chance of having decent value in the future is still positive, it's just a matter of understanding and trust regarding to coin and how the developers will deliver in the next market bull run. |

Lebron took years before he can get a championship although he was a promising rookie at the start of his career.
He made an easy shortcut by joining Wade and Bosh in Miami, just like Durant, he also joined Curry and Thompson to win championships. If there's no hope in a team, then that talent needs to be taken to a team that has a decent chance of winning a championship. Well, so much expectation from him, we all know how talented he is, but this is NBA, the biggest league in the world, so he also need to maintain himself to be healthy, so as not to waste his talent. If Luka will manage his health correctly the way LeBron does, he might have that ring that he wanted either to do a shortcut or wait for the Mavs management to surround him with good role players. Mavs already did it before. If my memory serve it right, they provide good sets of role players for Dirk and they win the title. I believe that Dallas owner have that capabilities to bring good players who can help Luka in winning his first title. |

your country may be on the list of countries accepted by duelbits, but that does not mean that people can use VPN that will be ok, even if the casino tells people that they can use VPN as long as the casino has a license they will ask for KYC and when this happens they will look at the documents of the person and they will see that the person in the document says that he is from country X and in the login registration the IP address is from another country so at that time a problem starts between the casino and the customer because in the TOS of the most casinos are clear when they mention that the person cannot hide their real address when entering the casino, the reason for KYC is precisely to know the customers, and to know the customers it is necessary that the customer always shows his location
If you have contacted the support to explain about your matter if your countries are restricted due to ISP and you need to use VPN, also you're fine to submit your KYC. It's 100% you wouldn't have a problem since you're not trying to hide anything, but it might be different if you're not contact the support and just directly use VPN. I think you will get asked to provide more KYC like your introduction video or have a live video with them etc. If the country is restricted from gambling and we are using VPN then it's direct violation of the rule according to me and team can restrict you from withdrawing funds even after KYC submission.You have to abide by the rules and if they found out something apart from it then you can't do much in that case. Something that needed to consider discussing from the support before you proceed, as you mentioned if there's a restriction from the country itself and you play without asking if it's okay for the casino to let you. Once you win or if you have got some issue with using VPN, it will be a hard case for you better to deal on it before doing something to avoid losing both time and your money. |

This bet will probably go through because even if you gave a -5 handicap to the home team, they will still win the game and that's almost guaranteed because they are now leading the game with a 30+ points. Quite surprised by the game actually because I was expecting the opposite thing where the Celtics leads the game and not the other way around.
It was definitely unexpected to see them take down a team sitting at the top of the standings by a huge margin. At the start, I was just hoping they get a good early lead and use that lead to keep it close. Also, that Jazz game was tight in the end but unfortunately, the Kings sealed the win in their final possession and didn't give Jazz enough time to force a tie. What a game against the Thunders, that score is huge not quite usual with Boston to be dominated like that, I didn't watch the game and I'm expecting that Boston have some key players who did'nt play today. But to my surprise, all key players are playing but they might not have the chemistry today and Thunders are playing solid, with good ball movements, they shared the ball well. Moving forward, those who bets for Thunders, they especially the ML surely the risk is worthy and win is sweet. |

Donovan Mitchell!! 71 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists.  7/15 - long-distance shots. My oh my, he took the game to overtime where it's almost a white flag game. Then dominated the whole overtime and snatch the win away from the Bulls. The highest point made since Kobe in 2006 was 81 points. Mitchell is now listed as the 8th most points in NBA history tied with David Robinson. Wilt still holds the highest at 100. Absolutely a monster, he found his zone and the Bulls didn't expect that. They chased a 21-point lead and flipped the game. Yeah, it was a very special game for Mitchell, considering that such a performance might only happen once or twice in a player's career. By the way, the epic thing about Mitchell's performance is that he started the game pretty mediocre, as he only scored 5 points in the first quarter. However, it looks like the Mamba mentality has taken him over after that, and Mitchell became unstoppable, especially in the second half and overtime. A mamba mentality which leads him not to shy out in taking those shots after that low start in the first quarter, good thing with him is he really takes shots and his teammate is allowing him. 71 points and with how he turned things out, snatching the game against the bulls, really sweet for both fans and those gamblers who entrust their bets for the Cavs, Bulls almost take this but that 71 points from Mitchell, especially during overtime, is really big. |

A wise investor will take aside fear and will continue to play against the market, this kind of opportunities are for those who still believe that the market will bounce back and will give decent profits.
It is not a description of a wise investor but a brave investor. I am sure a wise investor won't take a side the fear, he will also consider it. However, he becomes more realistic to choose the decision based on the probability of losing or winning from the current market situation. If it looks bigger chance to take profits, he will buy crypto coins. But if it looks a small chance to take profits, he won't buy. While a brave investor won't really care about the probability of taking profits. He will buy as long as it still has a chance to earn profits. Thanks for correcting me, I see your good point and nothing to argue, if that investors got a big-nerve and he really aiming for that chance of earning, then buying against the current market situation will be his option. Decision making is not that easy, especially when the market is wild and the current situation can influence more in terms of investors and traders side, overcoming fear is a skill that each investors and traders should carry while working with a volatile type of industry. |

Gold is one of the stablest investment because it is growing at steady rate for centuries so its good to have in everyone's portfolio, it may not make an investor rich but definitely can be a life saviour from inflation and economic crisis. Problem with the gold is which needs to be secured in a safe that is why it is impossible to keep huge amount by a personal whereas bitcoin is digital asset anyone can keep it in on their own no matter either its few sats or a million bitcoins in one place.
There has to be a lot of gold in order to not fit in the safe, so this is not the biggest problem with gold. The problem is to transport it with you across the border to another country, or the problem is that the bank will sell you gold much more expensive than you can sell it back, and it will take a lot of time for the price to rise to the purchase price. Bitcoin has a number of advantages, although it is not as stable in price as gold. Bitcoin have that advantage but both of you are correct, gold with lesser chance of falling the value is more stable than Bitcoin, but if you are a good fan of volatility and you know how to handle fear. That said volatility will be your friend in terms of investment, Bitcoin can bring you huge profits if the timing is right and you manage to invest your money when the value still cheap. Once the market pump, your money will grow in value, no longer a mystery but that said volatility gives you the chance to earn a lot. |

Everyone was expecting Giannis to play, but he didn't play last night. That's why they lost the game and everyone's bet lost.
If I had known, I wouldn't have played.
Only my Memphis bet won.
Sometimes it's nice to put our bet during game time, this kind of bad news is inevitable, so that will make our bet useless as we will likely lose. On the other hand, it could also be on our favor if the star player of the opposing team will not play, so it's just a gamble, but if you don't wanna gamble like this, better wait until game time. Somehow, that is much safer especially if the team you're rooting is listing the stars as probable or questionable to play that specific game, in that case, then it's really good to bet when the game commences so that you're bet won't go down the drain just like what happened yesterday when Giannis suddenly sidelined. The downfall of that is the odds will really change, but I guess it's still reasonable rather risking it. Anyway, I'm riding with the Pacers -1 and Cavaliers -4 .. GL guys. Yes, it's better to wait till you see how the team your rooting is playing before placing your bet, though the odd will be different unlike with the early bet compared with how it will be offered during the live event. The good side is you will see if the expected players/stars will be there to help or the coach will decide to sideline stars for a good rest and allows the other role players to play. That same thing with Giannis, it might be a different outcome if Giannis is playing, but it happened and we need to move forward. |

Anyone notice this. Those last year top on the Western conference switch places to bottom. 1-5 switch to 6-10 places except Timberwolves and Jazz. Those team that destroyed by GSW on the playoffs is now very strong in regular season and fixed there weakness. Nuggets now have a reliable outside shooter to help Jokic while Gordon is now performing impressively. They recently beat Boston in perfect form with huge price gap.
I know this is too early but I really that Jokic will finally get his ring this year. I just hope that his team mates will not choke because they have the best roster inside out in the league.
Gordon is always impressive in the regular season but let's see how he will perform in the playoffs especially when they are up against the Warriors. IMO, the only players that are reliable for the Nuggets are Jokic and Murray, the rest may just choke, I hope I'm wrong but just saying my honest observation. I also see the good improvement with the Nuggets, and with Murray again playing, the winning chance is good to move forward to the playoff and a possibility of chasing the ring. They've got good role players who can help Murray and Jokic, hopefully if they manage to work their way to the West finals again, it will be a success. Though too early for assuming we need to way till the All-Star as we will see more improvement, especially on the west side. |

Stay strong guys , Bottom is near , many "panic" traders already sold their assets at a loss , soon there will be no coins to sell ahaha , only buying opportunities
Happy trading
We can't blame people who joined the market during the recent bull run under the effect of the big FOMO that was going on, every celebrity was putting laser eyes and waiting Bitcoin to reach $100k. Now, everyone (maybe the same people) are waiting Bitcoin to reach lower prices, I have been hearing very low numbers like 6k or even 3k. For me, I lost a lot during the 2017-2019 bear market and now I understand how things goes in Crypto, I honestly didn't sell at the exact top in this cycle, but sold good amount on the way down, so I'm able to accumulate these days. IMO, the ability to control emotions comes along with our experiments, we can't ask people who didn't try the bear market to hold until they see the results in the next bull which I believe will be big. You would eventually learn up things if you have been able to experience it back in the past.For those who do have experience do really knows on what to do because our bitter experience into those previous years would really be reminding us that we should really be not that confident if we do see prices are breaking new heights which it would really be that normal that you would be having that fomo feeling. If you are really that greedy and wait up for something more and then the price crash or made out some correction then this is where you would be finding out that you had committed a big mistake. On next time then you do already know on what you would gonna do on these particular moments. Bitter experience indeed. That hurt when you see yourself being over greed instead of selling with decent profits. You wait for more time, then the market crashed down and you lose your opportunities. Sad thing, instead of making money you will lose when you fail to sell and the market already falls too hard and bring negative to your investment. Fear and disappointment will push you to sell even with losses and regret that decision. |

polygon have the potential for that. I'm even sure that the current price is too cheap. look at one of the current polygon competitors, solana is already past 3 digits in price. when viewed as a whole this project is good enough to be one of the alternative choices for the current Dapps network.
The Matic coin has the potential to reach $20, but I doubt to say that Matic will reach that price within a year, as currently many investors prefer to invest in the SOL network coin over the Polygon network coin, so it will take much longer for the Matic coins to $20. who prefer to invest in Solana over Matic i think they are definitely on the wrong track. You can check both of coins chart for the last 3 months then you will see how solana price decreasing. It is the next Axie Infinity if who investors planning to long hold. I am it holders for a months btw now migrated in the other coins. We do have our own opinions in terms of our investment. If you see it that way, maybe those who are investing with Sol see the other side. They continue to believe that Sol will generate profits in the long run. But like how you observe, it is also a good factor to work with how the market is behaving with your assets. If you are not seeing any good movement in the time frame that you project, better to re-assess and change your investment if it's already needed. |

I think Nash would have been fine along with the Nets if they just gave them some time.
I have to agree with this but the Nets are under pressure as they really need to consider what's the best thing to do that will benefit the whole team. If only they can keep Nash and Durant at the same time, things will go smoothly. A personal problem between them that is not exactly mentioned and surely no solutions to solve that not unless there is someone that needed to be let go. Moving forward, seems the Nets are now slowly seeing the results of their decision. Hope to keep it that way. We only did hear the issue between Durant and Nash from insider news, neither really claim or denied that there is some friction between them. But in the end, Nash has to make a sacrifice and after he left we didn't hear anything negative from Durant. But let's be honest, after Nash left the team is in better shape now. So the decision is good for the Nets management to fire him and then kept Durant and Irving for at least this season as they have the longest running streak now if I'm not mistaken. And it's going to be a great run for them if ever they go the Eastern conference finals because they were close 2 years ago. We don't know if they can make it to the eastern finals but with how they are performing right now, they've got better chemistry and the stars are really taking over to help to win each game. With regard to coach Nash, he's now a close book for this season. After he left and after that issue with Kyrie has been resolved or now being forgotten, Nets are performing to the best level that they can, nothing to say, but 11 winning streaks is really a good sign for them, without major injuries they can continue winning and might be possible to force their way to the playoffs. We never know how far, will going to depend on how they will perform in the next round. |

That's how it should be because you just can't leave your employment if you're just starting out a business. You'll have hard time adjusting when you're trying to pursue your dream of having a business but you're still employed. It's true when you're having a business, you'll not hit success as early as you can so, there's a need to sustain it through other means like from your salary. That's how a business goes and you may try it until you succeed or if you want to quit already and focus on employment instead.
Again, it's the practical way while aiming for a good success. Being employed while working with your own business is not an easy venture there are many factors that will push you stop. Choosing between your employment and your start up business will be on the next chapter of your journey. I mean, you can only choose if you already generate income and you feel that you can sustain your business. |

I'm actually frustrated when the Nets freed Steve Nash but somehow, it turns out that it's like what the team truly needed because they are going on a straight line already ever since the season started. Although, they still have some struggles, but they are bouncing back impressively after every loss they've got. These new Big Three of the Brooklyn Nets will definitely bring the team to the playoffs and with its role players, together they can achieve much further than what they did last season.
I agree that when I've first seen the news that the team has released Steve Nash, I'm a fan of his during his career, I'm also disappointed. But looking at their current situation, they're doing better and it's all thanks to the change that has been made. The Nets didn't have a good start but at least, they're having a good run now. We all witness the changes that happened after Nash has been released as a coach. KD and Kyrie are now leading the team with the kind of determination where they are really aiming for the win. Unlike before, both stars are bringing the fire and equipt their teammates to play with them, a very good leadership to boost everyone to aim to win. If there's no major injuries, that will happen along the way, Nets is really knocking on achieving the East title or maybe they can push to win a world title. |

Invest in these altcoins and hold for a long time you will definitely get a good profit.
Now it is highly recommended to invest in the long term, December will end in a few days and the market conditions have not yet shown signs of turning a bullish market, it is very appropriate to take this opportunity to start investing to make assets in the future. A true investor, of course, will not waste this golden opportunity which has a very big chance of getting big profits in the future. A wise investor will take aside fear and will continue to play against the market, this kind of opportunities are for those who still believe that the market will bounce back and will give decent profits. Many are still asking with this same question, but only a few are working on how they will take advantage with the big potential that they will be able to manifest great success. There are lots who do make out these kind of common questions without having action or they do just simply observe and trying out to chase up the bottom and on the time that the market would make out that unpredictable reversal then this is where they would be tending to make out some buys without having that consideration which should be done earlier or simply they had just missed out those golden opportunity on making huge profits.We are really that indeed minding or hunting for that perfect time but there's no man on this world would really be able to do such thing. This is why on every decisions we are making does really attached up with that particular risk taking. Yeah, every action that we will going to take will have a corresponding risk. Either you will chase the low and mistakenly think that it's already the dip, but eventually it will fall for more. You need to hold or if you think you can sort another low to cut your losses, that's another option but if you can't to avoid losing your investment better to cool down and let the transition to take place, bounce back will take place in the long run. That's how crypto works. You need that strong nerve to earn decently. |
