Ravena is really overrated, he has the talent but he is not the type of player that could carry the team in the Finals. NLEX is still not a championship team even with Ravena playing, that's the reality, so maybe they'll improve a bit but they'll never be in the Finals.
You might see them getting into the finals once the players of top teams already retired, as you can see some of them are getting older already and of course they are not that good anymore. NLEX is also a good team, they almost got a good spot last governors cup and since this is also an MVP team, most probably they have a good budget to acquire more good players and by this, they can have that finals appearance so never say never.  Smiley
Some great players will retire soon but the team will not allow their team will be trash once their star players will retire. Just like the SMB, they acquired CJ Perez and traded some old players already because they want to build the young players to lead the team in the future. A great team for me is not because there are old or young players on it, it's the entire team's capability to win, and they work like a team not by relying on a single player alone to carry the team behind his back.

It is naturally alarming on the side of the holders and Shiba investors but still, I'm not sure if the tweet been made is coming from the real owner of Shiba Inu pr someone who is fake. We know social media can easily be played and tricky, in fact, in many cases some Twitter accounts have been hacked, we can set this aside because we know that Shiba Inu is just about to start building its reputation and also the trust of the community.

But in the end, bitcoin still fell below the forecast and people received losses.
Loss, if they've sold at losses then that's a loss. But if they don't and just hold it, that's just paper loss.

People have to remember that when they sell and it's with the price that they'll be dwelling in losses then that's their mistake and personal decision.

But if not, they have to make sure that it's what they like to do even they know that there's a recovery period for bitcoin as usual and it's known by every investor that has been in here even just for a year or two.
Buy the dip and sell at high - this is the thing we are supposed to do but unfortunately, some people had made it wrong and they do the opposite. That is to see that not all traders become successful as in the first place, not all traders have the same strategies and mindset, it somehow to see failures.

It could be a great opportunity to buy at the dip but we don't know and are not even sure if these people can even hold and wait for the next pump.

Well, I guess we need to forget about ICO, they are gone long and the credibility of their projects has been lost. Does have any ICO can still be trusted, I'm so doubtful about that.

But in my own experience I don't believe too much to a ICO ranking or rating website, I experience it before that in order for my past project to be listed they need to get paid which is normal, and then there's a rating that we saw after our listing, I immediately ask that person who sent a review because his LinkedIn profile was there and he said, in order for him to remove such remarks we needed to pay him 1.5eth that was 2018.
It is likely that person what to scam you...I certainly found that some project reviews or feedback has been manipulated, paying people to do the positive reviews for the sake of having money.  This is the reason why I don't just consider reading their feedback instead, I go checking and digging their history as this will tells us how they could perform for the incoming.

Back to Inoue and Donaire, I don't have issues on how prepared is the latter. In fact, I believe that he's more than ready for this rematch now.
That's what Donaire said in an interview, he said he is better in the 2nd fight because he already saw what Inoue could do against him.
In this rematch, all he need to do is to make an adjustment and make sure he will not gassed out if the fight will again to go distance.

But the real question is, can he defeat Inoue? Both of them have improved but can Donaire's body manage the catastrophe that the monster of Japan could bring.
No one knows, as per betting odds, Inoue is really the heavy favorites here, so if we based on that, Donaire's chance to beat Inoue is very slim.
1626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 30, 2022, 03:35:05 PM
Congratulations to the Celtics for winning the ECF. That was a hell of a game, Heat almost made it, if only Butler did not rush his decision, he shots a 3 point instead of attacking, I don't know what he was thinking, maybe he just want his team to be ahead, but his shot is not a high percentage shot, there's a better shot than that. What a waste of effort, they could have a comeback win.

I seriously think that Butler didn't rushed that shot, they cannot make it through the end of the game if he forced an OT. That is why he suddenly tried to shoot a long three even though he can make a 2 point shot if he chose to attack the paint. They were already tired and Bam Adebayo cannot force himself in the center because he was also busy on offensive while the others cannot make a shot.

Congratulations to the Boston Celtics especially Jayson Tatum for winning the ECF MVP award.

Jason Tatum deserves that award, he was a big contributor to the success of their team, so now it's going to be Curry vs Tatum as they are the best players on their respective team. It's a different kind of ball game, back to zero, and hopefully, a game 7 is possible again.
1627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 27, 2022, 02:28:25 PM
The warriors have already advanced to the NBA Finals. They are now in waiting mode for the winner of the Celtics vs Heat series.

Not sure if they will still be listed as the favorite if the Celtics win tomorrow, but regardless, I believe the Warriors will win.
What I like about the Warriors is they are hungry for this win, they have been here many times before, so now they will try to win again.

That was a great game earlier, although I already figured out who will win today just by looking on their performance on the 1st half. Klay Thompson was hard to defend as he can always do his thing anywhere in their homecourt, he scored 32 points (48.0 FG%).

I bet the Warriors will still be the favorite on the Finals even if the Celtics will close Eastern conference tomorrow against the Heat. The Warriors are much more healthy than the Celtics and they have a lot of key players too, even the bench players can do some job for the team.

Right, Warriors has better standings on the regular season compared to Celtics and also they dominate all the teams they fight on there playoffs run while Celtics barely win against Bucks and possibly Heat if they have no injury issue.

Warriors bench is much effective than Celtics and also Celtics play is always center to Tatum which is very easy to counter by the warriors with an overall shooter players.

How about Jaylen Brown? Do you think he cannot lead the team? There are times when Tatum struggled and Brown came to the rescue, this team is not only all about Jason Tatum although I believe that he is the best player in the team, just like Curry, take Curry out and for sure the Warriors are not the same team anymore.

If Boston ends the eastern finals in game 6, they will be expected to become favorite to win the finals. 


I don't think so, it will not happen mate, the odds are already available, we can already see it now.  In the ongoing playoffs, Boston was never listed as the top favorite to win the NBA Championship, so I think, even if the Celtics will finish the ECF tomorrow, they will still be a slight underdog against the Warriors.

We can confirm that once the series in the east is over. For now, it's very obvious that the Warriors are the favorites, and what probably will make the Celtics the favorites if they gain the home-court advantage.

As per record in the regular season, Celtics are ranked number 2, while Warriors are ranked number 3, but in terms of win/loss record, Warriors has a better record.
1629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 27, 2022, 10:36:19 AM
I think Golden State will finish this series so they can finally move on to the finals and that is looking like it will be the Celtics the way the Heat played in their last game.

I agree. It probably should have been Warriors vs Bucks, but the Middleton injury. I would’ve rather seen Warriors vs 76ers also, but the Embiid injury… That Boston team is a good one though and they’ve been through a lot together, so I’m not mad about it. I do think the Warriors will end up on top though, further cementing the legacy of that squad.

Yeah, the Warriors and Celtics will most likely face each other in the final series. Honestly, I would like to see the Heat in the final, but they are clearly not playing like champions, especially during the last couple of games. By the way, many other teams also had great potential to reach the final series, but the championship will be won by the least injured team as injuries are always the deciding factor in winning.

There's huge chances that Boston will win this seeing how Miami perform in their past games but I'm still not closing doors about possibilities that Heat will do comeback knowing if Butler and Bam perform well this will be dangerous for Celtics.

But I'm more into GSW and Celtics into finals because it will be fun watching Curry and Thompson competing with Tatum and Brown.

If only Heat had won game 5, then they have a chance to be in the NBA Finals. What happened is, Butler's good shooting percentage is gone, he still keeps shooting but his percenage is very low, therefore, if they will do the same strategy and Butler will still struggle, then most likely it will have the same result in game 5.
1630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Western Conference Finals (Warriors vs Mavericks) on: May 27, 2022, 10:06:58 AM

Warriors is just a tough team to beat after all, I think they now have all the odds to be the champions once again in the NBA, they're up in the rankings once again. Those outside shootings are just impossible to contain from the Warriors, they are a different breed tbh. I think it will be Celtics vs. Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Well, they have proved it before and they did it again this year. This only means that they don't really need KD to win those championships before, KD needs them.
What the Warriors only need is being healthy 100%. Iggy wasn't even playing, he was a great addition for both offensively and defensively.
I'm glad to see them once a again on the biggest stage.
I am also expecting the Celtics to win the ECF.

It was a great game and Steph deserved the first ever Conference Finals MVP award. I agree with what Draymond said in the postgame interview with the TNT crew that they’ll be playing the Celtics next. I expect Steph will be holding up a Finals MVP trophy at the end of that series.

Celtics vs Warriors is going to be a nice series, Curry and Klay Thompson vs Tatum and Brown, such a good match up. This is the first time for the Celtics young guns to be in the NBA Finals, so I hope they won't panic as the Warriors are a different kind of an animal as an opponent, they have a dealth line up.

This is a nice series, actually, I was almost emotional when watching the warriors received their trophy. They were a good team, but due to injuries, they struggle, and now that they are back in the NBA Finals, I'm sure they will play hard to win another ring.

Klay Thompson is really a huge piece of the team, becasue with him now playing, the team gets better and better.

How many projects will rug pull in 2022? There are many projects that will face the same fate as Luna project but I believe we are able to raise voice on Luna CEO because he is popular and well known, what about projects with invincible CEO? There are tons of Defi and metaverse projects with invincible team, I think their case will be much worse than what we've seen.
Countless numbers, perhaps we don't just know and notice of their leaving/exit scam.
At this time, we could not sure which one is trustworthy among these new projects. Many of them look promising but later on, they will turn scam like Luna. This is the reason why we should be smart in choosing projects to invest, putting some guideline is very helpful,
 - must have a backup exchange/platform
 - govern with strong and reputable team members
 - high liquidity

Trading is not so difficult as it was told. But the difficult part in trading is when to enter the market and when to Close the market. So when do you think one can buy or sell (enter) the market? Using the candle sticks to predict.
Those who say trading was difficult are right and they are just telling truth and the risk that might put you in regret later.
So, forget whoever told you that trading is easy, we don't make people underestimate the market and trading as well coz whether we like it or not, that seems difficult in real life.

Yes, it was too easy to see how the market flowed, it was too easy to read the market chart but, it was hard to analyze due to the market volatiltiy. You can't make it simple and easy.
1633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 26, 2022, 02:27:34 PM

If Magsayo can find a way to neutralized Vargas physical advantages, I'm seeing a knock out victory. But if Vargas can used his reach and Magsayo having a hard time, this could go on a full 12 rounds and it could be a very hard fight for Mark. So for me this fight will really define Magsayo's career, if he can fight boxers who has huge height, length, and reach advantage and beat him convincingly.

If both fighters doesn't alter their usual style of fighting, it could end with a K.O for either of the two since they are both aggressive with high energy and throws a lot of haymakers.
Though this could be an interesting match up as they both are undefeated.
I can't really tell who has the edge over one another yet as they are both good fighters. At least not until we see them in the 1st to 3rd round.

I hope they'll be both aggressive so we will witness a very exciting fight. It's not going to easy for the the defending champion because Vargas is a great boxer as well, and seeing how Magsayo won his previous fight, I'm not impressed at all so I'm not so confident that he will win against Vargas.
1634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 26, 2022, 02:05:26 PM
Man these games have pretty much been boring, for both conference finals. Seems like whomever wins ends up winning by a wide margin. As a Bulls fan I was rooting for the Miami Heat being Jimmy Butler is their star player and all, but I have to say it’s almost a certainty in my mind now that we are going to see the Warriors versus the Celtics in the finals.
Yes, for now, that's the most probable thing that would happen.

They are just one win away to advance in the NBA Finals, so I'm hoping that NBA Finals would not be boring and it's going to be a close game like what we always wanted to see. I'm rooting for the Warriors to win the NBA Finals, so I will cheer for them.

Are you a trader or a hodler?

Every crypto investor falls into the category of a trader or a hodler.
 A trader : Someone who loves the daily thrills of buying and selling cryptocurrency, regardless of the market situation.
 A hodler : Someone who believes in keeping a particular cryptocurrency for long term.

Well, I can be both...I do trading for quite sometimes but I can be a holder, especially during the bear season. But what I think is that I be a better holder rather than being a good trader. Yeah, I often lose not because I have no knowledge and skill ins trading but because I don't have much time to focus on trading due to some reasons.

But what I've noticed is that I was able to make more money from just holding than do trading.
1636  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alt market today on: May 25, 2022, 02:28:57 PM
Actually, the current situation is very difficult for us to predict that the bear market can end in a short time, although at this time the value of coins began to increase again but we wait for a few more days so that all can easily get a decision in investing, especially now that there are very many negative effects that are happening so we really have to follow the development of the crypto world at this time.
Then think that it will not end anytime soon. The bear market will stay for a while as we have achieved a bull run last year and bitcoin hits its ATH. Now, it's time for the bear market to cause some panic, but it should not cause panic to investors who have the experience as they'll see it as an opportunity to buy.

Personally, I'm happy with the current situation,  this is like the market giving us a bargain sale, as most of the altcoins are bearish, they follow the movement of bitcoin in terms of its bearishness.
1637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 25, 2022, 01:56:18 PM

But the Heat is playing better in the other 2 games so I personally withhold my prediction on which between the two teams will be reaching the NBA finals. But in the Western Conference, it seems it is becoming clearer that the Warriors are winning and will be the team to reach the NBA finals even if their game 4 which is happening right now will go to the Mavericks. It might end with a 4-1 standing in their favor.

I lose confidence in Heat after there one-sided defeat against Celtics in there recent match despite the return of Kyle Lowry. Lowry and Tucker is not performing well on game 4 and I believe this will be same scenario if they didn't step up. They are the key player to stop the momentum of Celtics since Tucker is the one who can guard Tatum tightly just like what he did in Game 1 while Lowry on the other hand can help Jimmy Butler to get some space and do an open shot by drawing the attention of the defender to his attack.

Heat seems weak when Lowry return because he can't perform his role properly to carry the team. Oladipo is much better than him for starter.
Still early to lose confidence when the series is tied and besides it is their homecourt the next match and that would help a little I guess on the Heat's side. I guess age already hit on Lowry and I wouldn't be surprised for a 37 years old veteran, maybe they need more on the younger one like Herro to step up though he missed the game and could miss the game 5 as well. Maybe they need to make Oladipo their PG?
There are some doubts with the Heat right now after what happened in Game 4.
The question is, will Herro and Butler will play in Game 5 because they are their top 2 scorers in the playoffs and both of them have injuries. I just hope that they will be playing in Game 5 or else they might lose it all.

Oladipo as their PG? Not a bad option but it's risky and it's like they are experimenting if they will do like that. I will not be surprised though if they will give Oladipo more time since he played well in Game 4 and aside from him, I think they need to give Robinson more playing time. He's a sniper and can shoot threes but he isn't playing most of the time because of his awful defense. Celtics in 7 still and the Warriors are waiting for them Cheesy.

Lowry should be their PG, I don't see Oladipo being an effective PG although he was the top score in game 4. Also, if Herro will not play, their offense will become limited, and I don't really understand why Heat are not using Duncan Robinson a lot when he is a good 3 point shooter.

If Smart will play, Heat will be in a bad spot.

In addition to that;
 - invest only good coins, not shitcoins or hype.

The wrong choice of coins will literally end up mostly in losing. We need to be smart not just only in picking coins but also in making decisions. I do agree to keep learning, invest more time studying the market as this will help a lot to determine a good time to buy/invest and the best time to sell them.

Hi! Let me tell you about a mega game MetaKillers launching on Binance smart chain. The game, as I know, is a Play-to-earn strategy action battle game among gangsters and warriors. The game offers multiple player modes, from PVE, PVP,MMP and active participation in E-sport tournaments. Not only that, the MK projects has booster pools offering exciting staking options. Both, battle mode and Island mode of the game operates on $KILL token. I’m personally intrigued by the exciting gameplay and cinematics of MK.  So I’d suggest you all to tune in, and enjoy killing !


If you could put some links where to find it that might gain some interest but, a newbie account is something hard to trust.
I suggest to show us some proof of legality, maybe in that way it helps as many P2E are scam. People are just keen upon participating activities like this and so you can't blame why they are too many query and question. But if your intention is good and your platform is really working, that seems not problem.

I need to learn more about crypto and pushing myself has been very tasking with a congested schedule. I am sure there are others with same constraints here and I'm asking, how do you guys go about archiving this.
My knowledge of cryptocurrency is at the extreme basis and I really want to remedy that and be a lot more active on the forum. I have to get going... How do those in professional person cope??
Make use of your time wisely. Many don't know how to use their free time, they just waste it.
I encourage you to spend your free time here, the Bitcointalk.org forum, I was sure you got to learn a lot which I think your friend never told it. But have to keep in mind that there is no such way to learn fast and capture everything, it takes time for you to grasp the important things that you need to know. That is why I want you to give commitment and keep patient as your hard work will be paid off after.
