And Houston takes Game 1. Statistically, Jazz did better that Houston, but I think the most significant factor is the three point attempt/made. And besides, it looks like that Utah is tired from the series with OKC.

Another great game by Indiana, but it was not enough to overcome James and the Cavs. Victor Oladipo will be big in Indiana in the next coming years and will continue to be their main man. This is really a good year for the team and making the playoffs and hanging with the Cavs is already a accomplishment.

Confirming that I have received the payment in my FJ account.

What fake pump? Fake pump cannot last for a week. We witnessed the price rose from $6500-$9500 in weeks not days. So I wouldn't call it a fake pump but rather people really putting cash in the ecosystem. And now it went above $9K again, after the daily traders take their profits.

As for newbies, its gonna be a hard lessons for them, yes they may have seen the bearish market for more than 3 months and that is too much for them. I'm sure that there will be another attempt to break the $10K barrier but I don't think we can do it at the end of the month. Probably 1st week of May will be a good start to finally see the price getting on the 5 digit mark.

I don't do any parlays.


I used my own judgement and I don't rely much on the prediction of others, unless I want to try to bet on sports that I don't have any idea. Then I check some analyst here on the forum and test them if they really know their thing.

 

Again, I'm not a fan of parlay betting.


There's is still an element of luck and we don't know whose going to win up to the last seconds. But better teams usually win. Just like we witness during the Cavs vs Pacers games, wherein Lebron James sunk the winning basket.


I guess if you know the sports very well, its going to be easy for you to pick who will win and who have the chance to upset. Why you are not winning? Maybe you are betting on a sports that you don't know if totally rely on other tips.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. I don't know if you have been here for too long to say that they are accurately writing crypto articles and calling this the best is bullshit. They should at least review any news submitted before releasing it to the public as it may affect the sentiments of the people (or maybe this is their real intention?)


Exactly, as far as I can remember, they even promoted Bitcoin Cash in their websites after the hardfork which stir controversy as well. That's why when I read news coming from desk, It just gives me a good chuckle everyday.  . Specially around March of 2017 onwards, almost all of the articles everyday are garbage.

Did James really got a clean blocked against Oladipo or what is a goal tend?

Anyways, it was one of best games that James have shown us, not missing a free throw and hitting that 3 in the buzzer. I think he almost made a triple double if I'm not mistaken. The Cavs was in control of the game when the Pacers suddenly made a comeback courtesy of Sabonis. One thing I don't know is why the Pacers didn't give a foul when they still have 1 to give.

Well, it you can't beat them, joined them. Land based casino's know that bitcoin gambling industry is already a multi billion dollar and competing against them. So it makes sense for them to at least accept it as deposits in their land base so that it can attract more gamblers, so more gamblers = more money for the house.

Its gonna be exciting for the next 2 years if another land based casino will follow suit and it means that bitcoin is slowly sipping in the market and the adoption that we are looking for is much closer that we think.

Yes. This is so true. Bitcoin has a proven track record of bouncing back from a crash much higher than the previous all-time-high. I'm not saying that we can expect the price to get and break the $20K barrier because we don't know what the future holds, but I'm optimistic that we can get around that price before the end of the year.


Those who are suspicious doesn't really understand how the market operates. Its pretty obvious that the rise can't go on forever, specially the peak that we have reached in December. As you can see, after the madness in December, bitcoin started to fall apart and hitting bottom at $6+++. But we have at least recovered but we are not out of the woods yet as another pullback has just started and the bears clawing back.


Agreed. But I don't think that is the first crypto. There are other before, but it didn't enjoy the support of many people that's why it just died a natural dead. But bitcoin is different, it took out and many people started to see its potential as form of invested.

Yes, I also think that the $10K mark is much tougher to get because right now it looks like the price is on a minor correction. Not just bitcoin but the whole crypto itself. Maybe $9500 is too much for most traders that's why one way or another day trader sell a few but strong hands stays and not deterred by this correction.

As far as Tax Season, I still don't get the correlation or the effect on the market price. Does it mean that investors doesn't want to pay more taxes?  Maybe its has an effect but not that significant to really move the price from the last bottom to $9500-$9700. There might be a lot of factors that causes the price to increase and Tax season maybe just one of them.

I really don't know if you can specifically divide your time like that when you are in gambling. Well, I know that is doable, because I'm doing it, but I don't know if I have that kind of percentage. I just play with every bills every month is settled or if I have save enough for rainy days. But If ever I won, it just a bonus for me.

I have been in worst situation, but I still have my family as my priority and even if I gamble up to this day, our relationship is still solid and the only problem we had before is when I suddenly lost my job. But its all good now and I can still play and gamble and have my family at my side.

Exactly, Twitter, Google and Facebook bans crypto ads because they don't want their media to be used as part of the giant Ponzi scheme that is taking the world by storm. We all know that scammers uses their platform to spread their scammy ICO and accounts to spread this lies around. And that is the sad part of it, those legit projects has only few options or have to spend a lot of money to market their project because they can't used the big 3 anymore.

As for the Twitter CEO saying bitcoin could really be the single currency around the world, I'm not sure about it. We really don't know what the future brings, however, we can't really blame him for taking steps to stop scammers spreading their malicious intent in social media.

Yeah, I think the rally has top 70% this month so that's a lot already. So I'm expecting some minor pullbacks which happens and it seems the price is hovering at $9K a pop. Let's see if this price holds and offer some resistance, otherwise it can go down around $8200-$8500 before seeing another dramatic rise to test the $10K mark.

No need to panic though and push the sell button. Just continue to hodl as the next month can bring another bullish trend for all of us and even can go as high as $11K-$12K. Exciting time is ahead so stay focus and not to worried to much is you see the price and the market going red again for a couple of days.

In addition, maybe nutrition and sports therapist also improved a lot in the last decade or so that's why top players who hire good coaches and nutritionist/therapist to help them cope with the demands of high tennis that's why those veterans are still in the league and still playing a level of tennis unheard.

Worst comes to worst, its Nadal himself who will prevent him from raising another trophy this year. I really can't think of anyone matching him in French unless we got a freak injury mid day as you have pictured it.

We have surpassed $9500 for a brief moment but it seems that the market in on a another correction, as the price goes to $9K and the whole crypto is on red right now. But it doesn't mean that we are dead again. Just normal to see bitcoin and crypto in general to take a dip as we have been in a bullish trend for more than a week now.

And i agree with you that $10K resistance is very hard to break. The $8K-$9K is much easier broken because the cash suddenly pour in, but to be able to sustain it, we need more fresh blood to pump the ecosystem, unfortunately, it didn't come in time that's why it didn't hold that long. But I'm sure we will bounce back again and attempt to get to that $10K mark.

How about using the old and traditional excel spreadsheet to write down everything and have multiple back up of it? Don't back up using emails though, because if you get hacked, most likely all your account is compromised. Don't back it up online, USB is a good option to back up.

I would also suggest that you write down it down if you are too paranoid to save in somewhere online or even back it up on a USB drive or any device. Again, you need to keep multiple backups and also put it somewhere secure so that no one can get to your notes.

And don't be this guys: https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-investor-reportedly-hacked-for-2-mln-on-live-stream-internet-calls-foul

He back it op in on Evernote, and the hacker was able to get his email password and the rest is history and millions worth of money is gone.

I still think that Khabib has a high chance to win and beat Conor more than Tony is. I have nothing against Tony, but Khabib is a different animal and can overwhelm Conor in my opinion.

As for the PPV records:

No bitcoin have surpasses $9K mark and getting closer to the next psychological barrier of $9.5-$10K. This is not critical because for me it would be very tough. We have increased like $3K already from the last bottom of $6.5 so that's a lot. So I'm sure if we can sustained the growth at that levels.

But again, bitcoin price is very unpredictable, we don't know, maybe $9.5 is really the price wherein the bull run will begin. But the thing is, this growth doesn't look like artificial to me, it seems that there are renewed interest in the market right now that's why we have seen significant growth in the last couple of weeks.

OK fair enough. So let us see what will happen after the 27th because the bull run has already started because bitcoin is almost touching $9500 now and we still have like 2 days before your prediction. But with no proof or whatsoever, no one will believed you unless you have something to show us to back it up.

Anyways, as I have said, bitcoin is continuing to climb and we are seeing a significant gains from the last bottom and as investors or holders, we are happy to see that the bear market is over for now. It may coincidence that the OP have predicted it, but common sense will tell you that the bulls is just around the corner, consolidating and now starting is massive bullrun.

Sometimes it makes me wonder as to what year it was because you didn't expect that Rafa and Federer are playing high tennis up to this moment.  . Back in January or February, everyone was writing off Rafa because of injuries, but again he proved them all wrong and now he is the big favorite again to win the French Open, and it is said the Rafa owns this tournament and its hard to see him losing it.

Maybe there will be players giving him a good match, specially in the top 10 but I don't see them having a chance to stop him specially at this point.

OKC is on the brink of elimination as they have been struggling on both defense and offense. Westrbrook doesn't have his usual triple double. Remember, this is still Russ team, not Melo, so he better step it up if they want to stay in the playoffs. As for Melo, he is playing inconsistently and the team suffers if he shoots too much. Out of the big 3, only Paul George has been contributing, but its not enough to overcome the feisty Utazz Jazz with Mitchell, Rubio, Gobert and Ingles giving it out every game.

Sad to say but its going to be another first round exit for them. Last year was different though, OKC doesn't have that needed help that's why they rebuild this year with Melo and George but it seems it is still not enough to get them to at least in the second round of the playoffs.
