Embiid is really out there trying to prove to people that it wasn't just dumb luck that he won the MVP but he is really the MVP of the league as well. Last year, when he won, a lot of people said that Jokic deserved the MVP but because he already won it twice, it didn't felt like it would make sense to give him a third one in a row, so that is why Embiid won and not because he deserved it.

But dude just scored 70 points, that is a lot of points, not many people has broken 70 point barrier, only a few has achieved it, even though there are many people who did 60+ games, the amount stops very quickly when it reaches to 70 points and above (and only two people did 80 and more). So, it is really a great game to watch, amazing highlights.
And what's interesting on it is that it was the date as well when Kobe scored 81 points against the Raptors before. I think he made it a coincidence that he would score great on that day as well to break it or just drop a franchise record. Well, I think he could won the MVP for the regular season again for this I guess.

Quite sometimes now i have been active in the gambling section and have pick interest to start gambling i have gone through lots of material in both the forum, i have seen that I can control my emotion as well as controlling my finance this includes;

  • Not involving myself in a revenge gambling
  • Not chasing profit after lost
  • Not involving oneself into compulsive gambling
  • Not solely replying on every game to be 100 percent correct
  • Not hoping that gamble is guaranteed
  • Not gambling with all my income or salaries
  • Among all, gambling for fun and not to enrich oneself

The point is my husband doesn't know that i have been secretly gambling and involving myself with gambling discussions and the rest, So, this morning when i woke something in me keeps telling me i should let him know to understand my involvement  to practice gambling.

Does this worth telling him or not please i need you collective ideas.
I think that would be worth it, surely a guy can understand as long as you don't gambling what is meant to be for future use. You're in marriage and for sure you'll understand that everything you do is surely involve the other half, that's what my parents doesn't tired to tell me. Gambling or not, opening something will mean respect and honesty.
The question why is that, why would a woman that is already married decided to gamble? What would have triggered her interest to indulge in gambling? This not a bad ethics and I would never support that. If it is in a case of a single mother, I could concluded that she needed money to take care of her child. In a case when she has an husband, it looks absurd and not a good lifestyle. Society sees women gambling as irresponsible especially in a region where their is no much of internet influence. Anyone can decide to do whatever they like but not in a case where they wife would be gambling and the husband does not know about it.
There are instances that it has been with her when she was single then decided to quit when got married but that wouldn't be erased instantly and that urge her to gamble again. Or, just for leisure purposes considering her (the OP) seems to be in control of what she does. If it's online gambling I can attest that even my close relatives do it and they're just plain housewives, nothing much to do in free time seems to be their way to pass the time or to try their luck.

Sui, Arbitrum, optimism I guess you guys are fimilar with there 3 altcoins, which are less then 1year old, launched in 2023. When i track their performance i feel wonder cause they are owning layer-two blockchain and their growth speed is very higher then others good Altcoins. I found these altcoins Valuable for holding. What is your opinion about these altcoins? Are you holding any of these or have any plan to buy?
I feel like Arbitrum could be a top 20 coin in the bull run as well as optimism. I think there a way too many Layer2 missing here for example INJ, TIA, and SEI, these tokens would probably be reaching 10-11 figure market cap. Not holding it, I'd choose Ethereum over them considering rumors that ETF for Ethereum could be next.

Gambling can be a life saver too for it's not as bad as non-gamblers portrays it. To all gamblers' when you get lucky make good use of your gambling win do not chase for double portion.
For those who wins huge but to those who won at breakeven or at loss that's a miserable thing I guess. It will only just restore hope if you win or you win and use it on ways to get you more money but if not, that's a given to be at loss once again hoping he could win another. If opportunity knocks open the door wisely.
26  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bitcoin, pangalawa sa pinakamalaking ETF. Nilagpasan ang Silver on: January 19, 2024, 09:58:12 PM
JUST IN: #Bitcoin becomes the second largest ETF commodity in the US, surpassing silver.

Heto na nga, wala pang ilang linggo pero ang taas na agad ng rank ng Bitcoin Spot ETF sa US at ang laking pera ang dumaloy at naungusan pa nga ang Silver.

Source: Bitcoin Becomes 2nd Largest ETF Commodity in the US, Passes Silver

Kahit na hindi maganda ang lagay ng market ngayon at medyo bumagsak. Maganda pa rin itong balita na ito, kasi sa mga naghahanap ng mabilisang action at impact. Hindi pa ito yun, long term ang effect na hatid nito sa market. Tingin ko sa ganitong balita, yung mga may doubt pa rin kay Bitcoin hanggang sa ngayon magkakaroon na ng doubt sa dinadoubt nila.  Grin
Considering mas scarce ang Bitcoin kumpara sa Silver I wouldn't be surprised na malagpasan pa niya ito. Tinuturing ng iba na ang Bitcoin ay ang pinakabagong asset class ng kayamanan kaya talagang tatangkilikin ito ng karamihan lalo na't malaki ang tubo nito kumpara sa ibang mga asset sa tradisyunal na pamilihan.

Bitcoin Etf approval brought joy to our faces, yes another win for bitcoin, then how much more would the next halving bring,  right now all I'm doing Is buying, I was DCAING gently before, but right now no one hold me, no more gentle buys, cause right now I'm pumped, I'm dancing for the bull run, I wasn't part of the last halving cause just recently started my bitcoin journey and I can't wait to brag about beign one of the next bull run partakers. Start buying 🦾
Good thing for you mate to feel that way and I think that's just too relevant, up only for this year. Indeed DCA is the best play right now and I don't doubt that we may get a good discount sooner or later for Bitcoin. People may tend to wait for the 30k but that's normal for a bull run to take a little detour.
28  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Higher and lower risks in gambling is the gamblers choice. on: January 19, 2024, 09:35:08 PM
And the lower risks you takes on your predictions is the smaller the game odds which you may demand higher stakes to secure an appreciative winning. Although there is still no assurance of winning here for winning in gambling is strictly game of luck.
Low odds is way more appreciative to win but you'd likely to lose more if your prediction isn't right. If you're talking about sports betting then I will contradict your statement because it's likely a combination of luck and your knowledge towards that sports or player. You may be lucky at some point but knowing the sports, the team or the player, it's sometimes certain if you bet on lower odds.
When it comes to gambling, I've always have that resolve that it's mostly all about luck. The experience and knowledge of a gambler is without doubt important but I'll always gamble with the mindset that luck is the main factor that'll determine my fate in gambling.

Low odds have more winning rate probabilities but when a gambler isn't lucky, there are still chances that he'll still lose his stakes even when he chose low odds. So my advice to gamblers is that they should do whatever works for them wether higher risks or lower risks.
Yeah we have different perspective on it and it's not that wrong if we believe that way. I've been thinking that way when I was new to crypto gambling but got different view when I already tried sports betting because it's really opens new possibilities that you don't have to rely just on pure luck.

30  Local / Pilipinas / Re: SEC has now approved 11 spot bitcoin ETF on: January 19, 2024, 02:56:56 PM
May nabasa akong post sa Twitter (X) na susunod na daw spot ETHEREUM ETF kaya daw nag bumaba ang presyo ng bitcoin from 49K to 42K right now at nag boom naman si ETH from 2.2K to 2.6K. Ibig sabihin nila is nagtake profit na sila 49K at yung nakuhang profit pinasok naman sa ETH. Pero wag pa rin naman daw mag alala. Tataas at taas pa rin naman daw ang presyo ng bitcoin kasi na approved na nga ang spot bitcoin ETF.
Na delay nga just recently na news yung pinasang spot ETH ETF ng Fidelity at sa tingin talagang mangyayari yan considering na magrereview kuno na naman SEC diyan. Na delay nga yung Bitcoin, ito pa kayang ETH. Tataas talaga yan at bullish pa rin ako sa Bitcoin long term pero sa tingin ko kung percentage of return ngayong taon pwedeng malaki ang kitain sa ETH, just my two cents.
Alam mo sa totoo lang, sa mga taong nagtatackle sa ETH spot etf, eto obserba ko lang naman yung ibang mga community members dito sa forum na nagpupursue sa bagay na ito tunkol sa ETH etf parang minamadali nilang maaprubahan din ng SEC. Para sa aking personal view lang naman ay malabo pa yan na maaprubahan sa ngayon.

Matagal pa yan sa aking nakikitang assessment na gagawin dyan ng SEC, Oo sabihin na nating mas mataas nga talaga ang pwedeng kitain dyan sa ETH kumpara sa Bitcoin spot etf na ngyari, but in terms of approval nyan I really, really doubt it talaga. Pasensya na pero ito yung opinyon ko talagang nakikita.
If same institution parin yung mag apply I don't think na idedelay nila ito ng napakatagal, the only hindrance probably ay iyong pagkakakilanlan ng Ethereum if kung security siya o hindi. Kung matatandaan natin sinabi ng former SEC Chairman na si Hinman hindi ito security pero ang current SEC Gensler ay walang comment para rito. Just like Bitcoin parang ipupush ulit nila ito na ma approve pero delay ng delay yan, ngunit nakikita ko ma aapprove ito at pwedeng catalyst din sa parating na bull run.

How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.
It's not the casinos or the bookies was at fault, ourselves as well can be counted as one to be at fault here. If you don't have control over how you react on certain things like betting then you need to find something else to be fond of, maybe gambling is not your thing. It will only get worse and you'll be broke more than ever, better stop and touch some grass for awhile.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the best sources for discovering high-quality airdrops? on: January 18, 2024, 09:13:24 PM
Seeking reliable airdrops can be tricky, especially with the risk of scams. Recently, I've delved into blast.io, where participants deposit 0.1 ETH, receive blast airdrop tokens, and reclaim their ETH with added APY. Similarly, y24.io, launching on BNB chain, employs a resembling tactic: deposit 0.1 BNB, complete tasks, and earn up to 1000 y24 tokens daily. Given blast's success, I'm inclined toward y24's potential. However, as y24 is new, I seek guidance. The profits in blast were notable, and I anticipate similar returns with y24. Expert suggestions are highly valued here.
check out for more detail

link: https://y24.io/airdrop
I haven't even heard of this on Twitter, how much they raised? Sorry to burst your bubble but I think this one isn't worth the time and risk and tbh most people here are doubting links being shared so better don't post it as it can be clicked easily. You're asking something yet you surprise us with a shill, nice try. To anyone, who's curious on where to find quality threads about airdrops just use twitter.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 18, 2024, 08:40:11 PM
This picture below with the woman holding a check is the winner of "P43 million lotto 6/42 jackpot prize on Wednesday, Jan. 17.".

That's almost $800k if converted in USD.

<snip>

As we can see in the picture, it appears to be just an edited version, casting doubt on whether there was a genuine winner or if corrupt officials inside are attempting to claim the victory using that picture as evidence.

What's your thought about that picture, is it real or edicted?

How about in your area? How reputable are your state-sponsored casinos?
This is really an edited image even if you zoom it out, those lines are way obvious even an experts would agree that it is. It was known that PCSO has lot of corrupt employees and I don't think that they'll be discouraged for this maybe they even steal more money than this one considering there has been lot of controversy before that even involved huge sum of money.
35  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: January 18, 2024, 08:21:24 PM
I am curious to know who are their targeted audience and at what age group. In general gambling people target countries like thailand more but probably this is not the case with crypto. Do they target nerds or total dumbs? How efficient they are between their marketing tactics?
Of course they're targeting those who they think will gamble, there are lot of ways they do it especially now on social media and those data being sold. If you don't know that if you're clicking some gambling type of thing you'll notice sooner or later you'll be targeted with ads containing most of gambling stuffs, this is because data is being analyzed and you're being targeted on it.

Here in forum you'll see those signature below someone's profile when they post, that's how they market themselves here.
36  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Whenever ORDI and SATS are pumping we get crazy miner transaction fees... why on: January 18, 2024, 07:57:46 PM
So I wanted to do a transaction today and I look and again I need to pay something crazy like 200 sat/vbyte. Its also on the weekend. I look and of course there is some mempool spam going on.

Head over to Coinmarketcap and the only two coins that are pumping are ORDI and SATS. I noticed that whenever there is a mempool spam these are pumping and I am wondering how its related? What does transaction fees have to do with these coins going up slightly in value? I tried reading how Ordinals work but I am very confused since its nothing like regular mining or ERC20 tokens.
Just like what the dev was saying, these inscriptions was totally just a spam to the network and it needs to be removed but I wonder how they will do it. There's no consensus that has been made lately regarding how it will be managed accordingly and I think we may have to endure it but I'm still hoping that there would be a solution to it.
37  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin arbitrage - how to do it? on: January 17, 2024, 09:59:22 PM
These days I think that's not profitable anymore, you could just end up losing on fees especially if you're not using bots. It was a loophole back then but I think exchanges already know it and they are likely to take advantage on it too, so for those who aren't that diligent it's probably not for them to do arbitrage.

Could this be a sign that the Raptors are waving the white flag? This will be big for the Pacers aiming for the "win now".
https://www.espn.ph/nba/story/_/id/39330081/sources-pacers-acquire-pascal-siakam-trade-raptors-pelicans

This was posted recently and I guess Indiana is building something. Did the Pacers really get something from this trade or the Raptors made some incredible trade considering those 3 first round picks plus Bruce Brown who I think is in his prime as well?

$TROLL made fast to memecoin eco, Elon Musk made a joke and that is a new memecoin. Despite Elon's influence, the meme has the logo of the first ever meme of, maybe, all of our childhoods. Can this be the next $PEPE or $BONK?
It could even be the next Bitcoin if the community want to, it's 2024 and people still believe that drama of whatever Elon gonna post will matter for a memecoin. That's why people get rekt. You may profit on it if you're early but imagine those who FOMO? This isn't sustainable long term.

Siguro hindi pa secure ng Binance yung license dito sa 'Pinas or there's some reason na baka i-monopolize lang for local exchanges. Sa tingin ko 3 years is a long wait, baka pwedeng ma lift up yung rule? Hoping na hindi lahatin gaya ng mga DEXs kasi talagang no-no mga crypto users pag nagkaganun. Regarding bakit pinili nila yung Thailand, siguro mas open yung gobyerno nila rito at sa binigay na rin na datos ni Asuspawer09 makikitang hindi rin lingid sa kanilang kaalaman ang crypto.
