Fiat has been the same with crypto that has been used for money laundering and yet they aren't saying anything about it?
Well, the Indian government has a negative stance with regards to Bitcoin. I mean they aren't supporting it but not banning it as well.

Overall, nothing new with this. Fiat has been used for illegal purposes and now Bitcoin or crypto in general has been used as well. Best thing to do is to just ignore what they are saying and just move on.

I was watching the Grizzlies-Timberwolves on live and I was "WTF is happening with the Timberwolves?"
21-0 run and a big 37-12 4th quarter to erase the huge lead of the Minnesota and let the Grizzlies steal one on the road.
I thought that the Minnesota had this already since they had a huge lead but they literally choked the whole 4th quarter. This just shows that as the game isn't over still until the final buzzer sounds. I'm waiting for what Stephen A. will say to this Wolves team .

The Jazz are a disappointment. From losing streaks in the regular season to now down 1-2 against the Dallas Mavericks without Luka. Luka will comeback possible in Game 4 and how will be the Jazz if he comes back. I'm afraid they might lose 2 straight games in their own home. All three of the home teams lost right now including the Nuggets against the Warriors which is now 3-0 in favor of the Warriors.

8/30 for both Kyrie and KD on that game, 0/10 FG for KD on the 2nd half on Game 2 and 13/41 FG for both Game 1 and Game 2.
Some says that he is the best shooter right now in NBA but.... its my first time to see KD struggling like this. I mean 1 game would be understandable but having an awful night for 2 games?

Looks like the defense of Celtics really is affecting him. Their 5 starters is at the top when it comes to defense so the absence of Robert Williams doesn't affect that much to the team because they can still be a good defensive team and we are seeing right now. We have 2 of the best scorers on the same team right now in Kyrie and KD yet they are struggling. I just hope that both of them will bounce back in Games 3 & 4 or they will lose in 5-6 games.

After saying that there has no chance of Game 7 being held in the PH Arena, they are now saying that they will host Game 7 there if this series will reach Game 7 which is I think I will and I mean it will . More games = more revenue = more entertainment.

After seeing the amount of audiences coming every game this PBA Finals, they want more audiences to watch the Game 7 live thus they want to host it in PH Arena as it can hold more people than MOA and Big Dome. This will give much higher revenue to the management for sure and I'm pretty sure that this will go into Game 7.

Am I the only one noticing that there some users here talking about bounties to the point that they are creating threads related to it?

Well, that is the reality regarding Bounties right now but Bounty campaigns isn't like that when I started joining into it at around 2017-2018. Over time, numerous scams and different problems regarding Bounty campaigns is happening. One problem is developers doesn't pay bounty hunters, another is campaign manager isn't performing his duties well and so on and so forth and until now it is happening that is why the popularity of Bounty campaigns went down to the point that it isn't worth your time if you are a bounty hunter.

Something has to be done? There is nothing we can do since anybody can create their own project, make their own bounty campaign where everyone can join. Its up to the bounty hunters already if they will still continue what they are doing even though it isn't worth their time or to just stop and find another way to make money.

Its a good thing that DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic stepped up offensively and helped Demar in scoring.

I think the Bulls must think of a way to stop Giannis in scoring though it will be hard for them to stop him. Stopping him will be a big advantage for the Bulls and they might make an upset if that happens. Its quite unfortunate to see 2 big players of Bucks in Middleton and Portis getting injured. Middleton is a big piece for the Bucks offensively while Portis is a good defender inside the paint and can help in scoring as well.

I just hope that Coach Doc will not bust on this one after having a 3-0 lead or else he will be trending again online.
Its a surprise buzzer beater though and I thought the Raptors are winning on this one. This series will end in 5 games at most. Now the Raptors are in the same spot as they was when they have a 0-3 deficit against the Cavaliers with Lebron where they got swept at that time and they are the top seeded team.

Pay expenses here in our home, buy some things that I needed and some things that I want and I'm holding some for long term.

I think most of the users here especially those who are in a Bitcoin-paid signature campaigns are doing the same as I'm doing right? I mean there is nothing more that we can use crypto but to buy something, hold and pay. I like what OP did though. To re-invest your profits is the best thing to do when you're investing but on the other hand, there is nothing wrong if you will take away some and buy something that you like .

How the information regarding Bitcoin is being spread to everyone. The information regarding Bitcoin is being spread only in social media platforms and some other news channels in television. Not all people have access to social media platforms and not all have access to smartphones as well. At the same time, not all people have accessibility to televisions and if they have their news channel isn't featuring Bitcoin or anything related to crypto that is why people still don't know what Bitcoin is or they still don't know that there is something called Bitcoin that is existing.

Price volatility. This maybe for me is another reason. Maybe there are some people who knows about it but since the price is very volatile, some are just opting out and not investing into it because they think that they will lose money because of price volatility. This kind of thinking is happening because of lack of financial literacy.

Complexity of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is too complex for some investors that they are also opting out to not touch it thus, it isn't for the masses but for only those who can understand the technicalities of it.

He is using Banchero and Almazan and he gives minutes to them though not that much. Banchero with an average of 13 mins. per game and Almazan with almost the same except in Game 4 where he played more than 30 mins. Pasaol? Understandable that he isn't playing since he is only a rookie, inexperienced when it comes to PBA playoffs and its the PBA Finals. Coach Black will use the players that he knows will give them the victory. With regards to Belo though, correct me but there is one interview and he said to it that he and Bishop are playing in the same position so he doesn't have that much playing time.

I think there is nothing wrong with Coach Norman giving his son more minutes as they need more offense and him, Newsome and Bishop are their main scorers. On the other hand though, I just hope that if Black has a bad night he might be given lesser minutes and give more minutes to other players as they might be more helpful offensively.

Ginebra in 7 games. It would be better if we will see another Brownlee buzzer beater again to end the series but we know that the chances of it to happen are low but.. it can happen .

Too optimistic but.. I don't want to remove the fact that it may happen.
Maybe it would be better if we will think on when Bitcoin will reach $100,000 first before $300,000 because this number seems to be high considering how much Bitcoin's price is as of this moment. I would be happy though if this prediction will be reached as I'm holding Bitcoin.

Lets just hope that this injury will not be a problem with the whole journey of the Suns this playoffs or else, they might lose it all "again".
Booker has hamstring injury and Paul has a history of injuries during the playoffs. This is a problem for the Suns team.

TBH, I'm a bit surprised that the Pelicans stole one game on the road knowing that it is the Suns team but... I remembered that they still have Ingram and McCollum that can still lead the team. Hamstring injuries might affect the player's performance in the playoffs. Just look on how it affected Harden when he is still in Brooklyn. It affected the whole team thus, losing the opportunity to get a title. I'm not saying that it will happen to the Suns but there is a chance and I hope it will not happen. Congrats to the Pelicans though.

After that double digit lead of the Nuggets, Warriors did a huge run and didn't look back winning it all.
Maybe some already knows that the Warriors will win this one and they will face the winner of MEM/MIN series. With a healthy Warriors team, might be a bit absurd but I think they can go to NBA Finals and defeat the Suns if they will be the ones that will face in conference Finals.

Bit of a trivia (just saw it by watching). The Warriors are 13-1 when they are leading 2-0 under coach Kerr and with the Nuggets, they are 0-10 when they are trailing 0-2 so.... yeah just see the numbers, that just increases the odds of Nuggets losing this one.

Yes many projects already. I don't want to say some projects but I know myself that there are many.
There have been projects in the past who conducted a token sale and became successful yet, the project still fails.
There have been projects who have good development team and yet, the project still failed.

There is one reason why this happens and it is the community.
Might not be the main reason but for me, the community behind a project is very important for the success of it. You might have the best project but if you have no investors to invest into your project and support it then it will be useless. Its my first time to see the word "fate" being used in crypto though.

Whether Facu play or not, I'm feeling that the Warriors will be using broomsticks in this series.
Just by seeing in the first 2 games, its pretty obvious that Jokic alone can't carry the team especially when you are facing a complete Warriors team.

Lets just think for a second that Curry and Thompson alone is pretty deadly offensively and we know how good they are right? Now they've added another potential shooter in Jordan Poole which is playing very great in his first 2 games in playoffs. If they are playing like this all throughout the whole series against Denver, they have no chance. The three of them scored 84 of the 126 points of the team. Looney can't stop Jokic but Green can so putting him on Jokic would be better but still, I don't see any chance for the Denver to win in this series and I know many are thinking that way as well. Maybe if the shooters of Warriors are having a bad night then they might have a chance.

So many peace talks that are happening but no good things are coming out. President Zelensky is even pleading for help towards other countries particular in NATO to help them.

We know from the start already that Russia will win this war against Ukraine. Its just that Ukraine doesn't want to be under Russia and wants to be under NATO which Russia doesn't want to happen. I don't know what are the goals of Russia with this war against the Ukrainians but I just hope that this will be finished as soon as possible. Its very saddening to see innocent civilians being killed by random bombings. Its very saddening to see establishments being demolished by these bombs. People who are suffering and soldiers being killed every single day. This is why I don't want to watch news regarding this anymore because I always think of those civilians .

Depends on these 2 things:
1. Amount of money you will invest
2. What coin will you buy and hold for the next 5 years.

If you will buy low market cap coins, it is quicker to be a millionaire thru it but it will be quicker for you to lose money as well and if you will hold higher market cap coins, it will be slower to be a millionaire or you might not be a millionaire depending on the money you invested with.

If you bought 361 ETH @ $170.45 last April 18, 2020, that would've cost you $64,619. Now if you held it until now, your 361 ETH now costs $1,062,784. Maybe timing affects your profitability as well. Point here is it depends on the coin/s you will buy and how much money you are willing to invest.

Double teaming Paul would be an easy shot for the one who will be free.
That is how lethal CP3 is when handling the ball. If he drives, he can shoot the perimeter which is almost automatic that even a big can't stop him. Now if they double him, he can see easily which player will be free and he will pass it to him. Its like pick your poison for the opponents. He will not be called "Point God" for no reason.

Suns in 5 or even 4. I think the Pelicans doesn't have enough firepower and strategy to defeat the red-hot Suns. The only problem that I see right now with the Suns is the health of CP3. We know that in the crucial moments of the game, he often gets injured that will affect the morale and the performance of his team. If he will be healthy all throughout this playoffs, I think they can win it all and get the championship this year.

Am I the only one that has a feeling that what happened in PBA Governors’ Cup 2016 might happen again?
I mean they have the lead coming into Game 6 so.... it might happen but it is just me sharing my thoughts.

Anyway, I also think that this will go into a Game 7 and on that it will be hard to predict who will win because its anybody's ball game at that point. We might see a much larger crowd in Game 6 but if this will go into a Game 7, expect for the MOA arena to be filled with people. There are some rumors in the past that Game 7 will be held at PH Arena but they confirmed that it will not happen (quite unfortunate).

Kyrie played well even though he got many boo's from the crowd, Durant had a bad night shooting only 9/24 from the field and that turnaround buzzer beater by Tatum that gave them the victory. This series might end up in 7 games but still its hard to predict who will be the winner.

With Durant having a bad shooting tonight, I think that the Nets can win in this series and make an upset (not total upset though). If Kyrie played the same all throughout the series and Durant will be better in the future games, I think they can overcome the Celtics since this Game 1 is a very close game (even though the Celtics lead as high as 15). If only they stopped that last possession, the Nets might've won it but.. it is what it is. Nets will make an adjustment but for sure they know that they can beat the Celtics.

Their momentum coming into this series is high that even the Grizzlies can't stop it. They just made an upset and a statement on the road.
Edwards and Towns leaded the way with 36 and 29 points respectively and nobody can stop Towns in the paint since he got 11/18 shooting. I predicted here Grizzlies in 6 or 7 but if the Timberwolves will win again which is highly unlikely, I think we can see a big upset here.

Its expected.
No Murray and no Porter. Jokic is carrying them and it seems like the help from his other teammates wasn't enough for the team to defeat the complete Warriors team. The problem that I'm seeing though with the Warriors is that they can't stop Jokic inside the paint. 5 players in double figures with the Warriors and we expected that somebody will step up because Curry isn't 100% healthy and in this game its Poole with 30 points. I expect another players to step up again in Game 2.

---

Overall, its only Game 1 and for sure teams that lost today will make an adjustment on how they will bounce back in Game 2.
