BTW, Brownlee and Clarkson can't play together as FIBA only allows one naturalized player at a time so i think it would be Clarkson that will play.

That's really sad but it's okay because they have Clarkson who can carry the team. He will surely be an all star this season in the NBA, so that alone is already a big plus factor for the Gilas team to be recognize in the FIBA. What they need is a good chemistry, not only Clarkson will contribution, everyone should do their task although it's very obvious that Clarkson will do a heavy load.
That is a very bad news about gillas pilipinas as they are needing another star player to improve well anyway as you said gillas have Jordan Clarkson which we all know how he play in the court and .....

We should not expect that we will be a strong team in the FIBA world because we are not, maybe competitive but we will not belong in the top 10. Having Clarkson is good, and since Clarkson is already a superstar in the NBA, he should be able to make Gilas team an interesting team.

Quote
...also kai sotto is plus points by them as he is a big man who can work in the center and a good contributor as a defender and for rebounding the ball. Now all can gillas do is to build their chemistry in order to have a good play.
Hopefully he won't easily get tired as FIBA world competition are very physical, and with his body size, I doubt he would dominate inside.

I like this one OP accepting Bitcoin is one of the ways to encourage people to an actually see Crypto-currency as usable and not just an investment property. You can also motivate others to start this process too.

But it's not just going to end by you accepting Bitcoin alone, I believe you know some of your patronizers you can start by telling them about Bitcoin. You can mostly based on what challenges they face right now in Crypto-currency.

You are right. I actually did after reaching out to him and teaching him, I also encouraged him to also reach out to other fellow colleagues of his too and also as many customers that asks him about it in his shop, he should teach them as I have done to him so they could understand. You know, their shops are mostly filled with youths most times which will definitely attract their attention to the new development in his shop leading them to asking him questions about it.
I was really amazed at the hard work you've made in promoting Bitcoin in your community. Apparently, it needs someone or a group of people to help spread and educate them about Bitcoin. Because I've noticed that many people heard about Bitcoin as a currency but never have an idea how to do it due to a lack of education. Even for me, if I'm running a business I shouldn't care about accepting Bitcoin because I don't know about it. 
What I see is that people needs proper Bitcoin education first and adoption will then to follow faster.

It wasn't a debate OP if it is right or wrong to teach a kid like 11 years old because as long as he is able to understand it and has an interest in learning this, that is really a good chance. In fact, it is all about learning the basic things about Bitcoin, it is all about spreading the right information so he can make use of it to correct someone who does and spread wrong information. Might we be doubtful about the result because of his young age but I see this is even better to start from an empty mind than those who have already negativity inside as they will able to learn fast and absorb the information.

Speaking of Quincy Miller, he was also considered to become a naturalized player but I doubt it will be pushed through.

Justin Brownlee on the other hand is now having a good status to become one. And guess what, Myles Powell has also shown interest to become a naturalized player although I'm not sure if he is serious.

What's your thought about that, guys? Smiley

I agree with LogitechMouse, it was the influence and power of politicians that makes the naturalization process of Brownlee easy but in fairness to Brownlee, IMO he deserves to be naturalized as he has been in the country for quite some time now and his skill set to be in the Gilas lineup is a good fit.

Brownlee is enough for now, that's why Miller and Powell will not be entertained this time as we have Jordan Clarkson who is the priority of them all to play in FIBA 2023 as a naturalized Filipino if he will not be counted as a local.

Brownlee and Clarkson playing together, I guess would make our offense flow get better, however, we don't have a tall and big center who could battle inside for the position and rebounds. Our naturalized players before playing the center position, this time it's different, so let's see how it will impact the team in overall.

Now the only question right now is, will it be sustainable? Will his performance in his last 3 games sustainable to carry the whole team? I expect for his numbers to go down in their next games, so I hope that there will be somebody who will help him offensively if that happen.

let's hope for the best, Davis has the talent and he can always deliver, hopefully, he won't be injured so we will not see the Lakers suffer again. Davis is really prone to injury, I can't remember a season where he finish without an injury, so most likely the chance of him being injure is like 70% most of the time.
1546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Education on: November 21, 2022, 09:36:38 PM

Unfortunately, my country is not understanding the value of crypto entirely. They are discouraging people from buying or selling crypto. They have imposed very high taxes on crypto trading. I just wish they also observe the ways in which crypto is benefitting other countries which have embraced it and then my country also removes these extra taxes. It will help crypto related companies to grow here and also crypto education will become popular with universities and schools teaching it.

If your country makes strict rules on crypto users, of course, it will be an obstacle. But you are still lucky that your country still regulates the entry of crypto and only prevents it by providing a large tax. But actually, the tax should be borne by the crypto industry like local exchanges and users only need to pay part of it when trading. currently, crypto education continues to develop in a good direction, this will be knowledge that must be known because crypto is important for the future.
Do you know that it will be very difficult for a country to decide this time not to embrace the adoption of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin to be mentioned, because i believe that the regulations of cryptocurrency is everywhere across the nations, but the only thing you should understand is that cryptocurrency government don't have the right of controlling a cryptocurrency in her nation irrespective the commands of government
We should consider the situation if the government allows this matter to teach in school otherwise we only just fail their plan.
Some people are just doing this in their homes teaching their relatives and neighbors. I'm not sure how effective it was but at least they have found this way an alternative to learning crypto while the government never notice it because it was difficult to expect that it can be taught in school and part of the curriculum knowing that the government is not giving support to crypto.
1547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you still win with free spins? on: November 19, 2022, 02:50:16 PM
Is it possible to stick with free spins on online casinos and still be able to make some good reward?

I am looking into the free side of things, no risk at all with free spins but the question is has anyone ever make something out of free spins before? Something reasonable at?

The last time I earned something free from gambling websites was when BTC has very low value and many faucets still run, that's couple of years back.

It really depends on the site that you are getting free spins from. For example freebitco.in provides a free roll every hour and we get 12 sats as per the current rate for every roll.
On the other hand BC.GAME provides a free spin everyday but it gives us locked BCD which isn't really useful if you are just claiming free spins.
So it depends on the casino site basically whether it is worth it or not. Freebitco.in is worth it because they provide a free roll every hour and also a free WoF spin everyday which gets us a chance to win some nice rewards starting from 50 sats.
We can use these satoshis to play multiply btc game on the site which is a basic high low game.
Winning is possible in free spins and that seems encouraging when you are new to gambling. But if we look for earning something big, we can't rely on them, honestly. Majority of the online gambling sites now offer such features as Freebitco.in do. It eventually gives interest to the gamblers and of some help. But in an overall view about this, we know gambling is a business, therefore, we have an idea already that these free spins are just a small amount but a feature to enjoy as a stress reliever.

SMB won but did not cover the spread. I guess Fajardo did not play, if he did, then most likely they will cover the spread. Bad pick for bettors who choose the spread of SMB as the game was a bit close and Phoenix was able to ensure covering the spread.

The current game between Magnolia vs the Dragons is quite entertaining, Magnolia will be heavily tested here.
That was a good game for SMB even without JMF, they are still hanging there and hoping for more wins so they can have the chance for next round.
The game between Magnolia vs Bay Area is indeed a great match, it looks like a finals. Magnolia is down by at least 3 points only and still have the chance to tie or force an OT. As expected this is a high scoring game, watchin the whole quarter and its really hard to pick who will win because there's no safe lead for both teams.
There are still a few minutes left and the lead is very much manageable by Magnolia. If they lose this game, they still should be proud of themselves as Dragons are used to dominating their opponent but what we are witnessing now is a close game where Magnolia is not giving up this game.

And then those who bet on the Heat at -1.5, just a shade shy though. Very good game but the Wizards win at the end. Celtics continuing with their run.

It was very close and a very defensive game, imagine, both teams only score a total of 5 points in the overtime period.  Shocked

I haven't watch the game, but it went to OT, but as usual Heat is a good defensive team, but the big 3 of Wizards produce more than 50% of their score, Beal, Kuz and KP scores 20+ points or more.
Same here, I haven't watch the game but I did put my bet on the Heat, so I was a little disappointed. I realize after that game that Wizards are really a good team, I mean they improve this season and looks like Kuz and KP really fit to the team, I just wish they'll finish the season healthy, especially for KP.

Oh and the 5 points is combine for both team, not sure if that is the lowest we have seen so far this season in a OT game.
I have not seen a game with a lower than this number in the OT, I guess it's the lowest.

We have this new technology and great developments but on the opposite side, it becomes a medium for scammers and hackers to easily get access to our computers or PC. I see a lot of computer users are not really aware of this kind of trick and certainly, these people are prone to malware attacks. Now I see it is everyone's concern and much help others to be aware of the situation. However, this can't be done and rid of them right away, they still have a lot of chances. At this time, even if we use and install reliable device security on our computers, we can't be 100% safe, not at all.

Jumping into trading without having knowledge backup from vital trading PDFs and tips from top men in crypto will definitely be the starting downfall of men. Trading is basically free for everyone who's always willing to learn and as they say, learning never ends. Some see it as too complex and they don't have the qualities or the required tools for start-up. Laying good foundation for trading will really help minimize trading at loss, and gaining in full very necessary.
And they meant to fail, absolutely. But guess what, most newbies aren't thinking about the results because in their minds, earning money from trading is easy. Perhaps, that was what they commonly heard about in online promotions.

A lot of things they skip about trading:
 - learning TA and FA
 - learn to be patient
 - learn to start from the bottom

They are boosted somehow with these signal groups and end up losing their money.

Perhaps, we already know that NEWS sometimes has a baseless point of their view. In fact, some of them are misleading their headlines. That actually will tell us that not all of them are good sources of information, yet it leads us to misunderstand. Might be wise to read news online, however, to believe them isn't a wise decision. In fact, even known platforms had also such things and we don't know what really is their intention in doing it. Might be because of money or the influence of others.
1554  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: *El Salvador To Start Purchasing Bitcoin Everyday* on: November 18, 2022, 11:20:34 PM
Shouldn't really be a big deal. They're pretty much just moving from buying dips, to sort of like dollar-cost averaging(obviously not exactly DCA, but slightly similar). Which they should've done in the first place instead of trying to timing prices.
El Salvador has its own goal to maximize their bitcoin purchase so this bear season is the perfect timing to start buying on a large scale. Whether they do it using DCA, that will still be at their own advantage since they will also reap their fruits of labor when the bullish market takes over. While others do the opposite timing in buying, El Salvador still manage to purchase everyday using their huge funds.
The president never just looks at today's investment situation but at the future. He thinks that what he did will contribute to huge changes in their country which I see not all have seen and appreciated. He is not just a casual investor but a wise person who thinks about the benefits the country would get after buying and securing Bitcoin while the price is cheap. Some people say "El Salvador will become rich in the future due to spending more funds in Bitcoin", which is really possible.

If you are not expecting someone to send you any token in any way, better ignore it and never touch it. But, you will expect someone to message you on social media or in your BTT account for that matter. But be careful with the links that might send to you.

However, until nobody had able to reach you with that, we can't say whether it was a scam attempt or not. Since you have an idea already, you know what the next step you do. This might be a common issue for scam attempt asking for money that is why you should be careful in dealing this.

One of the most awaited fight next year, and finally it's being realized and it's time for Ryan Garcia to prove that he can beat a real champion. Though Ryan Garcia here has the height and reach advantage, but Tank Davis is a champion for a reason, he is quick and has a high IQ in the ring, so it's good that these two will clash next year.

1558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin Repeat History ? on: November 17, 2022, 09:45:18 PM
Starting at the peak of 2013, then the history repeats in 2017, and again in 2021.  Do we still have to doubt bitcoin repeating its history?  I think Bitcoin had established a cycle given the previous history of its attaining and breaking records of ATH every 4 years.  So the question of whether Bitcoin will repeat its history can be answerable with yes.  Besides all throughout human history, the same kind of event happened and keeps on repeating.  It may not include the same people and place, but the core of the incident is the same.  This is solid proof that Bitcoin has huge chance of repeating its history again.
We are now confident that every 4-year cycle is really going to happen. Yet, some people never see and understand it but rather make their other market assumptions, of course, that was their opinion as well. However, with the course of the market trend since January, we already know that dump will still dominate the market this year, and no signs of a Bullrun. That is why we also need to make HOLD become habitual as this is certainly needed here in crypto as I can see that this bear season will stay until next year.
1559  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: investing for beginners must be large capital or small capital. on: November 17, 2022, 01:01:03 PM
I am a beginner in bitcoin and crypto, I want to ask all of you, do you have to invest in crypto with small capital or large capital? in my opinion, if our invest in crypto for beginners and invest with large capital, it seems that if you fail, you will experience big losses, but if you make a profit, it will definitely be big, so what do you think?
Nobody has a great start, especially in trading. Many had suffered losses in their early days which is why people here are suggesting starting by investing a small amount and gradually increasing it once you are fully knowledgeable about the market. Yes, having a huge capital will possibly give big rewards also but you can't just underestimate the volatility of the market and many people got it wrong. And I hope you don't and I hope you would listen to us, otherwise, never blame the market for whatever happens to you if you push yourselves to invest a huge amount.

Portland is victorious again and remains in the lead in the western conference. Boston leads the Eastern Conference. If there is no serious injury this season, it seems that the championship will pass between these two teams. For me, Boston is one step ahead. Boston performed well, winning their last 7 games. The team is in great shape. The Ime Udoka incident doesn't seem to have had a negative impact on the team.

I understand what you're saying but I think it is still too premature to make some predictions on who will be facing in the Finals soon, even if both mentioned teams are still healthy, no one can guarantee it. Moreover, let's expect the unexpected because there will be a lot of things that might happen soon like some trades that can alter a team's fate and there are teams in the league that are still on the adjusting and recovering phase.
Portland definitely has a chance now, I think this is the best version of Portland with Leonard leading the team and with the help of Simons and Grant. They had improved defensively and their offense has improved a bit as well, but defense is always more important since they lack that in the previous seasons.
