I didn't realize the Bucks vs Heat game would be televised.  I'm pleasantly surprised to discover that it is on ESPN right now.  Smiley  That means I get to watch Kevin Love's debut.  He got the start and already has 3 rebounds in the first 3 minutes.  Great to see him out there putting in work and playing like Kevin Love of old.  I hope this trade revitalizes him and shows that he isn't ready to retire, even if the Cavaliers wanted to pay him to leave their team...  Giannis is back from injury and while he's starting the game 0-2 from the field, Bucks fans have to be glad to see him back out there.
Kevin Love didn't have a point but he was helpful underneath the rim. This is okay because the Bucks are really a strong team even without Giannis who only played 6 minutes and we cannot expect too much from Kevin Love just yet. Their next game will be against the Charlotte Hornets, I hope to see some changes on their performance.
Bobby Portis is back, and this made the Bucks grew stronger on both ends.
Yes, Giannis did play, but he only played for less than 7 minutes. However, that was enough to inspire the team, and as a result, they dominated the Miami Heat, beating them with a 29-point margin. I would say they are sharing the ball very well, which is the main reason for their easy victory.

Kevin Love was scoreless during the entire 21 minutes he played in the game. I think it's the first time I've seen him scoreless, given that he's an offensive machine. It's very uncharacteristic of him. Hopefully, he will be able to make the right adjustments and blend well with his new team.

Perhaps, it was useless facing in front of your computer doing nonsense business rather than making money. It feels boring for those who don't love trading but for me, I was comfortable living on it. While the others are talking outside, watching videos, and wasting their time...I was busy making money. Besides, you are not trading the whole day. I only spend 2-3 hours on the computer, meaning I still have plenty of time to engage in other activities and even family bonding. We owe our time and it depends on us how to manage them.
Each person has their own preferences, just as there were people that were going crazy due to the lockdowns caused by the pandemic, there were others that did not suffered because of this at all.

So while some people trade the markets and they feel miserable about it even if they are making money, there are others like you which enjoy it, so you are lucky as not only you have the skills to become a successful trader but you also have the right personality for a job like this.
It was not lucky but I've found out that trading is a passion and a reason why I keep doing this. Many had quit or even not tried because they feel hard and pressured when doing this unlike us who have the hearts of doing this. For real traders, it doesn't matter how long we stay on the computer as long as they are doing good. But of course, it needs sometimes a break and spending time on other activities as it was not healthy anymore to have everything on the computer.
1263  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin be trusted? on: February 24, 2023, 12:05:13 PM
@OP, you don't need to become doubtful about the capability of Bitcoin. It has already been proven, early investors are still here to continue investing in Bitcoin because of the trust. We can't put in question with that.

I don't think, Bitcoin price will crash this year like the way it crash last year that made many traders to experience bearish season through out the year. This year 2023, I think Bitcoin price will pump higher till 2024 ending before it will crash to allow both long term traders and short term traders to buy Bitcoin and hold for another bullish to come before they can sell to make a huge amount of money from their investments. Investing in Bitcoin is more favourable than others cryptocurrencies because whenever Bitcoin price is pumping other cryptocurrencies will be pumping too.
We have been done with the bottom already, that is what I see. And base on the previous bear season, it usually takes a year before it recovers and it was already been 1 year past, so I think this year the price of Bitcoin will start to increase just like what happened in the previous years. Accumulations seem to continue until before the next bull season, it still has enough time to get prepared and fill our bag.
1264  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good to accept crypto as a payment? on: February 24, 2023, 11:20:31 AM
I think it's great that more and more people are starting to accept payments in cryptocurrency. If I had my own business, I would definitely accept payment in bitcoin. That would be the best option for me.
But the question is if it was legal in your place or if you know that it has a market as well. And not just like that, we should also consider the place if crypto has already been known to them otherwise, it was only a useless option. For some reason, we can't just offer this option unless we are sure that some will take this option otherwise, we just offer the fiat option alone.

For now, we must listen to the behavior of the market and also the adoption trends. I'd see that it takes time before it is fully adopted. However, showing it to the public that you are accepting crypto will somewhat give some curiousity and could also help for adoption.

By the way, the spread before the game was -7.5, so looking at the game now, it will easily be covered.

It's good if you took that spread because the Philippines is leading by 12 points after the first half. The current betting spread for the Philippines is now -13.5, while the over/under is 178.5, which is way above the total before the game. I would like to wish you good luck on your bet, and I hope the Philippines will continue their good shooting in the second half.
1266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: February 24, 2023, 09:58:07 AM
That was the first fight wherein Donaire really hurt Inoue and it was the first time that we saw Inoue got wobbly and dizzy because he was hit by a solid punch, nevertheless he didn't go down but instead continue to go on.
"Donaire just couldn't knock out Inoue, and Inoue was smart to make the right adjustments, even though he was hurt in the fight. In the next fight, although Donaire was still confident, Inoue had already made the right plans to knock him out early.

And most likely Donaire see that weakness of Inoue that's why in the rematch it was a different approach by him. He try to go toe to toe and hoping that he can get another opportunity for the left hook. But Inoue is too smart to be hit again and so that strategy back fired on Donaire.
Exactly, and it cannot happen in this fight anymore, as Donaire needs to win the championship to fulfill his goal of retiring as a champion.
1267  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can I invest my 60% savings in Bitcoin? on: February 23, 2023, 12:28:03 PM
Bitcoin is risky and plummets anytime without giving an indication but despite this thing, I still believe that Bitcoin is a good investment.
Of course, nobody could afford to lose all of their money which is why we should invest only the amount that we can afford to lose. Meaning, if that 60% you hold is the amount that you are willing to risk, then stick to it. Because as we know that investing simply doesn't just work in an easy way, it should be managed carefully otherwise, all your hard work is gone too quickly.
1268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP - yes or no? on: February 23, 2023, 11:45:40 AM
If that's the case that you are afraid to lose money then don't invest or get involved in XRP but if you are not and yet still not want to lose lots of money then use a portion of your money that you can afford to lose. In that way, if it won't go the way you have hoped then you will only lose small amount of your money instead of losing more than the amount you have invested. If it's a win then a profit for you which is good even though you didn't invest with the money you want to but it's still profit.
Doubts can lead to undesirable decisions and losses, it is better not to try if this is really on our mind.
XRP is not really a profitable project but on the other side, this gives also a chance for some traders to lessen their transaction costs which I have also been using. I can't say it was a bad choice but must also consider the thing that "there are more profitable coins out there" which is worth enough than this.
1269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: February 23, 2023, 06:07:52 AM

Yes, definitely he is in the media because after all he become a boxing analyst/commentator and he knows what those guys are saying, specially after he lost to Pacquiao and his recent performance against Mario Barrios.
Losing to Pacquiao is not a big deal in my opinion because Pacquiao is a legend and he is really good, despite his age at that time. There's nothing to be ashamed of, and besides, Pacquiao didn't dominate Thurman. It was a close fight, and Pacquiao was just lucky that Thurman didn't start to be aggressive after he got knocked down. In my opinion, the second half of the fight belonged to Thurman.

So in any case, it's either he will be inspired to proved his doubters wrong and motivate to beat Spence. Or he be 100% but still though that effort will not be enough to beat a prime Errol Spence Jr right now.
We don't know the outcome of the fight, but one thing is certain: he should train hard and give 100%, as a win could definitely change his life.
1270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: February 23, 2023, 04:35:45 AM

I went for NLEX on this one both ML and spread.

Yes, they are only 1 win with Selden as their import, but that win is against the Converge who is considered at the top right now. For me, that win might give momentum for the whole team. I watched that game, and I saw how Selden adjusted, and now he is playing well defending the paint and had blocks. I'm pretty sure that he will do it again this time. Different bets for both of us, but lets just enjoy watching the game later. Smiley

It's hard to trust Bolts' import, as he is very inconsistent and cannot dominate in the paint. I believe this will be an even match-up, but when we compare the imports, I think NLEX has the edge here. However, with Alas and Newsome on the other side, it's going to be a great battle, so let's enjoy it. As for me, I think I will wait for the live game and bet on a team that is down so I can get odds of at least 3.00.
1271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is currently the best crypto to invest in? on: February 22, 2023, 09:56:23 PM
I have been a crypto enthusiast for some time now,thou I have lacked consistentency,but over the years I have seen people who have carved out good lives for themselves with crypto,either by direct or indirect investment.,as a result I wish to invest in crypto with cash,but with minimal knowledge,so I seek the help of this house in advise on which crypto to invest in currently as someone who is just getting to learn about crypto currency.
Just focus on Bitcoin and ETH, which is the safest crypto to invest with. Don't get tempted by those high rewards projects because this will be the reason for your failure and losses. And most of all, you have to change your mindset and give yourself more time to study the market performance. However, if you are just holding for long-term, then it was not necessary to do it but of course, you need to monitor your investment and its price as well. It is gonna be fine investing these two leading coins than others.
1272  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does inflation affects bitcoin? on: February 22, 2023, 09:40:40 PM
If we think about the price of Bitcoin, inflation will just affect fiat money and Bitcoin is far in reach for it.
But if we talk about the demand for Bitcoin investment. Of course, people will think now that the use of Bitcoin is somewhat a good way to escape from inflation but the question is if it is acceptable in our country and stores as we know that only a few had adopted it for now. It means that we still need to convert our Bitcoin to fiat in order to use it. Meaning we are still hit back by inflations.
1273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: February 22, 2023, 08:30:02 AM
I think the stamina of Donaire is probably the biggest enigma about him, since the pandemic started he has fought only 3 times, not a single one of those fights have gone farther than the 4 round and in aggregate he has only fought for 10 total rounds, and for someone which is 40 years old keeping up with a youngster which is only 27 years old could be problematic, and unless he can beat him during the first rounds he could get in trouble simply due to the superior endurance and stamina of Santiago.
He will certainly make adjustments to his strategy, as he knows that taking this fight to 12 rounds will put him at a disadvantage. Even during Donaire's younger years when he won championships, his fights usually ended early due to his accurate counter-punching ability. If he still possesses that power and precision, there is no way Santiago can win against the Flash.
1274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 22, 2023, 07:45:10 AM
I hope that Coach Ty Lue already said to Westbrook that you must not shoot the ball, and just focus on assisting and playmaking.

LOL, that strategy wouldn't work for the Clippers since it would be too predictable. Westbrook is still capable of shooting; he just needs to focus more on passing and rebounding. Of course, he should take the shot if he has an opening. With Westbrook's athleticism, he can easily draw fouls and get more free throws. His weakness is in jump shooting, particularly from beyond the arc, so as long as he drives the ball, that should work in his favor.
1275  Economy / Speculation / Re: What comes next for Bitcoin: $20K or $30K? on: February 21, 2023, 09:57:08 PM
Upon seeing the current momentum, we have a bigger chance that the price of Bitcoin will reach $30k. We are actually moving there but we can never say when and also, we can't assure that it never fall back to $20 despite the uptrend. I can recall in the past few days that we almost reach $25k but the course of the Bitcoin trend had a chance to dump and go back to $17k, this can be possible as well. Yet, I was very optimistic that we were moving high (slowly), but might it takes a few weeks or months.
1276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: February 21, 2023, 08:22:49 AM

Well, I expect a lot of crowd with this one at least because the venue is outside of NCR, and fans can't wait to see their idols playing in front of them.

PBA players that are popular are like celebrities in the Philippines, people will surely come to see them. This is all-star, but the meaning of an all-star should be on the current situation, not an all-star in the past, you know what I'm saying. Well, I symphatize those who are not invited beause they  are not popular despite having an impressive season, but it is what it is, they just have to  accept it.
1277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: February 21, 2023, 06:40:42 AM
^^ Isn't it kinda late though? 6 weeks will not be enough to prepare both fighters, although Davis just had a tune up, while Ryan chooses to not to go that way. So he might be in a disadvantage unless he is really training already or this fight.

But in any case, it's a good update for this fight and maybe we can say that 99% that it is going to happen.

Maybe around April-June would be my guesstimate on this fight.

Tank Davis might not have rested and continues to train after his recent fight and Ryan Garcia might presently be training for Tank before the cancellation of his own fight scheduled on January. I also assume that Tank and King Ry signed the contract for April 15. They might be ready to fight next month if they did not need time for promoting this hehehe. Only an injury would cause a postponement for this fight, I reckon.

They are certainly training hard because this is the biggest fight of their careers. No one can afford to be complacent as a single mistake can result in a significant loss. Both fighters are KO artists, so I am confident that this fight will provide a high level of entertainment for the crowd. As for predicting the winner, it is difficult, but based on the betting odds, we already have an idea of who is likely to win.
1278  Economy / Gambling / Re: New casino BTC game development on: February 18, 2023, 01:10:52 PM

We can try to contact a developer who can deal with code problems or buy a ready-made script, modify it as we want, and adapt it to our plans. This, of course, can save you the cost of buying a ready-made casino because the domain name problem will be expensive and also all the games or features in it.
If you want to have a successful business and be able to compete with other well-established casinos then you need to forget about ready-made scripts, especially those that are sold for few hundred bucks. You don't know how secure those scripts are and in this business à small bug can cause huge losses.
If you are going to develop it from scratch then you should contract with a known dev. company and not hire a freelancer.
In terms of security, we don't know whether the finished script is safe to use and maybe we can find out if we hire a coder who understands the scripting language. But to avoid leaking security issues, maybe developing it from scratch would be safer because we are directly overseeing it, especially if we have a coder who is a close friend of ours. There is still a lot that needs to be prepared to have a business until it can become big and that requires a lot of money, especially the gambling business.
We can't assume actually if that will work or fail and the best option in order to determine the certainty of the said project, we therefore have to try it. Because it was hard to trust someone in this situation but rather have to prove it by ourselves. But yes, not all are able to understand the script, some will just assume that is safe to use. Having a little knowledge is somewhat of an advantage but still, we need other opinion for the sake of doubts and worries.
1279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be careful Many New Tokens on Coinmarketcap are on: February 18, 2023, 11:35:29 AM
I noticed that Recently CoinMarketCap website has been adding new Tokens without verifying the Token team,goals, and if it's legit.
Most of these currencies collapse during the first weeks of its launch.
i Remember that the website used to check every Token before publishing it to the public.
Has anyone noticed that as well?
I have noticed that almost every day there are new coins listed on the CMC. I think the CMC welcomes everyone who wants to get their project notified in the community and lets the people judge them if they are legit or somewhat like another scam. I was really hesitant to do new projects, not even having the interest to look at them and make research because I'd learn from my experience before investing in new projects which it look promising but in the end, they turn scam and the developers has gone taking my money. I think that was enough, so I have to stay away from them but rather focus on the old projects.

Trading can be a lonely and boring business at some point because, you do not have anyone to talk to and are just alone with your computer, phone, or tablet in your room, just trading. And many newbies may at some point think that they are probably wasting too much of their time. If you are in this situation right now, I want you to know that you are not wasting your time.

If you are an experienced trader reading this, how did you know that you were not wasting your time trading at the time when you felt this way?
Perhaps, it was useless facing in front of your computer doing nonsense business rather than making money. It feels boring for those who don't love trading but for me, I was comfortable living on it. While the others are talking outside, watching videos, and wasting their time...I was busy making money. Besides, you are not trading the whole day.
