They are not called a champion if they are not used to taking this opponent advantage situation , Warriors is one of the best in beating the lead .

and this is the reason why I never stop Idolizing the Golden state warriors since the day they become a champion .

and even if they won't take this one? still Warrior is my team .
If Warriors didn’t lose their key players before and Klay remains healthy, I believe they have more championships before and I also believe on them. The way they play this conference is really different and they really want to get the NBA Championship for this year. 3-0 lead is a big thing, Dallas was not able to take advantage their home court and its too hard now for them to win. I’m convinced, Warriors will win on this one.
Having those former players then i dont really have any doubts on GSW specially on Curry where this man play extraordinary.This team is good both defense and offense.
I used to love Dallas but this cant really beat up Warriors and would really be closing out this one but well it seems Luka do really enjoy each game.  Smiley
Luka now experiencing what Lebron has experienced when they were dominated by the Warriors. They'll be lucky if they will win one game, and game 4 is their only chance of winning, so they should not waste that opportunity as they are at home, at least give their fans one game to enjoy.
It had been a long time since Klay Tompson had taken a vacation, and like a wand pulled 1 would lose 1 balance for the warrior. Between team injuries, supporters and gamblers, it seems the stakes are less than optimal.
especially the fighters will hold the future, i admit if they lead by just a few points for this series. nba finals may be very much awaited by many,and then maybe betting is effective timing and toast
But Klay Thompson is back now, and though he is not playing well like he used to be, but he is still a big factor for the success of the Warriors so far. He was out for like 2 season, but back healthy now and he can have a big game like the game 6 against the Memphis.

Nice start by the Celtics, 21-4 is the current score, I like their chances of winning here, just like the usual, they have a good start and if they can keep their lead, they might win this game. Good luck to them, hopefully they'll be able to even the series.

By the way, Smart is out.
2143  Economy / Speculation / Re: Trying to identify the bottom.. on: May 23, 2022, 11:48:00 PM

This should be something that we all care about, and that would be a one big long war instead of two different wars. Same could be said about the recession, that would be similar situation with it, I personally believe that even though there were some increases, it was still a big long recession with 10 year gap.
Then it means that we might fall to $5k again?
The market behavior is already changed, we can't just predict what really happens next. I'm not certain about a long market recession as the government will find solutions to any economic crisis that will come. That is only just a sort of market correction, the up and down of the economic growth give influence the capability of the individuals to make investments.

The continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine affecting our financial capabilities but I don't think we have to consider this to make crypto reach the bottom again.
2144  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to hold in peace on: May 23, 2022, 11:12:58 PM
Is it true that its wrong to hold coins for many years and never look back? Someone said coins can die in just two years, they can also lose demand and hype under a year, so how do one hold with zero worries?.
No, you can't sleep well if you keep thinking about your investment. But I understand that situation as we are aware of the risk and the volatile nature of the market, and checking our portfolio is a sort of assessment and awareness of where it goes. However, if we are just investing in potential coins like Bitcoin, that certainly lessens our worries and sleeps confidently that our money will never lose.

All just we need is to;
 * invest good coins
 * use a secured wallet
 
2145  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Did you live through the last bear market ? If so, what did you learn ? on: May 21, 2022, 08:33:48 PM
Fortunately, for many mistakes that I made in the past years, especially during my early days in crypto it absolutely gives me learning and I carry and think this every time.

 * I'd learn how to be patient
 * I'd learn to accept losses and blame myself as the fault
 * I'd learn how to communicate with the market

But I think every day is a learning day. And we capture everything we do every single day and for us to assess if we are still doing it well or not.

It was found to be at risk of putting our money in a single investment (Bitcoin) but I think it was riskier if we spread it like investing in non-potential altcoins. Bitcoin has been known for its potential and choosing this coin for long-term investment serves as an assurance that once the market bounces back high, Bitcoin will soar again.

Of course, some altcoins still have that kind of market characteristic but then, we have to choose wisely and consider some of these things;
 * transparency
 * previous market performance
 * well-established and has a working product
2147  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Beware DO NOT GET SCAMMED: Recovery wallet scam! on: May 21, 2022, 02:28:34 PM
This topic is made and needs to be seen by new members.

There is new scam going around crypto discords and telegram channels and it has started to pop up everywhere. The scam is pretty much where they are giving away recovery wallet phases. If you're going to import or try to recover the wallet it will say "Your ETH balance is 0 cannot send." It will ask you to pay for gas fees. People will find the wallet and will pay in ETH for the gas prices. As soon as a person deposit the amounth of ETH needed for gas price, the bot will record any of the balance changes and it will then instantly send the ether out to the thief address.

You can find more info about this and how it's working below:
Latest Trust Wallet Scam
And besides, these scamming trick was rampant in telegram groups.
You'll never have to trust someone from these two channels and not even from strangers. Honestly, these scammers will talk to you nicely and aim for you to give trust them. They help you and later on, they will scam you.

We don't just live ignorant about crypto, as we are investing in this, therefore, it was important to know how this actually works.
We don't let other people manage to do transactions on our behalf, it was advisable to do this using reputable exchanges, not strangers.
2148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 21, 2022, 02:01:15 PM
Dallas Mavericks is now trouble. They gave up a 19-point lead in a Conference Finals, it's alarming.

Still not an automatic win for the Warriors but the Mavericks should bounce back as much as they could next game. Game 3 is important. If they still lose it and are able to win at Game 4, it will be hard for them to return to Chase Arena with a 1-3 disadvantage. They need to even the series at all costs.

The same offensive power should be shown again by Luka's teammate or much better if more than that.

Yes, they have a chance to even the series but they gave up a huge lead. That only tells that Dallas does not have a good defense, they rely so much on their shooting but it's just that Warriors are also good so they can come back in the game, and they always win in game 2. As of now, Warriors are still undefeated at home in the playoffs, they are the only team left that is undefeated.

As what the commentators said about the Warriors, there's no such safe big lead against them because they are a team that could come back with their great offense and defense. Mavericks were able to score, they have a good shooting night but their lack of defense made them suffer in the 2nd half.

They need to win game 3 now, they are at home so no more excuses for them.
Good luck to them because if they'll allow a 3-0 lead, then most likely the series will be over in 4 or 5.

That's right, maybe we should realize now that the Warriors aren't the Suns. Warriors have the championship DNA in their blood, so they will never give up even down big time. Curry and company will make sure they'll advance in the NBA Finals again, they missed many seasons due to injury problems, and now that they are here, they will seize the moment.

Will we see a 3-0 after game 3?
2149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 21, 2022, 01:44:11 PM
I think you've got to be betting Boston here.  While Miami is going to try and bounce back, there are just too many things on Boston's side at the moment.  I'd be a little worried to have money riding on the Heat after the way they looked on the last game.  I think with the defensive player of the year back, Miami is having a hard time getting the ball in the hole.  I'm expecting Boston to take all their home games in the series so long as they can keep their main guys healthy and Taytum keeps scoring like an elite player.
I'm also worried to ride on the Celtics with a high spread as I believe Miami will make the right adjustment in game 3, if they'll lose, at least they have a chance to cover the spread. Tucker will play in game 3 but Lowry is still questionable, hopefully he will play though.

2151  Economy / Speculation / Re: A crash where Bitcoin wasn't responsible should be treated as such on: May 21, 2022, 11:47:51 AM
A very good recommendation: don't sell Bitcoin when a different Altcoin crashes!
That is what we should always remember, even if bitcoin crashes too because bitcoin price can increase back and sometimes, the price can increase higher than before.
The bear market is just temporary and will not stay in the market and the bull market will come and will give us a chance to make a profit.
We only need to be patient and not sell because of panic because that will make us lose the money without having a chance to recover.
In the bear market, we have a chance to buy back any potential coins, including bitcoin and there is a discount price to us that we can use it.
Perhaps, this situation isn't new for us old-timers. And we don't see any reason to put blame Bitcoin for the market crash, it eventually just the time has come every time right after Bullrun. We're giving the chance to buy more and prepare before the next halving comes as an expected price surge is really what we see. So instead of finding a ground for this market crash, we'd rather fill our bag with Bitcoin and some valuable altcoins.

I'm not thinking for another 2-3 years in bear season, so people must not waste this opportunity either.
2152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should newbies Invest in new Projects on: May 21, 2022, 11:12:20 AM

Exactly, investing on a new solid projects will really help newbies to grow higher in profit making in the community. Never you be an hurry to invest on a new projects without carry out your personal research to know if the project will be favourable in the future or not before investing which will really save you from losses in the community. Don't buy when the price is high in the market because it will not help you to make a good income in the future than to cause you regret for not buy when the price was low in the market.
Unfortunately, not all that have done with thorough research ended well, why? Because even if we bought the right coin/s, investing in legit new/old projects, what really matters also is how we manage them. Not all went well, sometimes we make failures because of our wrong assumptions that are something we believe and think is right.

Sorry, but the truth is that we can't consider the crypto investment as a safe investment. We are better prepared for possible losses and tend not to regret them because this is our decision.
2153  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin is 30K again! on: May 20, 2022, 10:24:16 PM
Bitcoin has returned to $30,000. It should reach 37-38K for a positive sentiment.
You couldn't just expect that Bitcoin will recover fast at this bearish time. We'd rather expect more on corrections instead. We see a little spike in Bitcoin in the past few days which gives us enlightenment and it gives us the confidence that holding is somewhat what we need this time. The sudden change in its trend is very common which is why the market remains unpredictable. Now that we see it is moving down, later on, this will move back high again. This is really how it works, nothing we get surprised.

Feel bad for Javi Gomez de Liaño. After being drafted by Ginebra he was traded right away to Terrafirma DYIP.

Trades are usual but what I like to point out here is that Javi even tweeted that his dream was playing at Ginebra and it happened for real. Even Coach Tim Cone has a lot of good words for him. But later on, he was shipped to Terrafirma as this team requested him according to Coach Tim.

But he's in the right team for me. He will have more minutes in Terrafirma compared to Ginebra which already has lots of Guards and Forwards. He should show Ginebra what they give up.
He even posted after he got drafted, but days after being drafted, he got traded.
Well, Coach Tim can't control the management because it's out of his control, so he can't do anything about the trade.

Nothing new for me since we've seen SMC doing some unequal trades in the past already. The only problem that I see for Ginebra here is that, what if Gray will not be the same as he is before he got injured because it's an ACL injury. His situation might be the same as MPJ in Denver. On the other hand, TerraFirma got a three pointer and I think they need him just by looking at their current roster, but it would be better if they will get a big that will help them. Overall, I'm curious on how Gray will play in Ginebra.

let's get realistic here, TerraFirma is not a team a player would want to play because it's a trash team and players are not as motivated when they are playing on a big team like Pangilinan and Cojuangco owned teams. PBA is just being monopolized, that's the real score actually, that's why I understand why players are upset when they get traded in a weak team.
2155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 20, 2022, 02:23:26 PM
There's news recently that there are still hard-headed operators who are doing and operating online cockfighting. The authorities were able to hunt them down but their registered players are just a few since it's risky to make marketing for it by those agents. People are also questioning the legitimacy of these operators that's why they are hesitant to bet.

And there's also news that the upcoming new PH government will totally ban online cockfighting for good and that was favored by the majority.

Not so surprising since there are operators who are willing to operate, even the government already suspend the permit to operate

of any gambling owners in terms of E-Sabong, illegal operators know that even in small portions of gamblers, there is still huge money

that they can collect. We can't conclude but the chance that known personalities and PNP officials might still be behind those illegal operations

they already taste the success of this business. It can bring millions in their pockets.

Some gamblers will still look for illegal e-sabong, operators would not operate if they don't have the expected audience. I'm sure that while they are operating, they are also careful not to get caught as you know how strict the current administration in implementing the law.
2156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 44 countries will meet in El Salvador to discuss Bitcoin on: May 20, 2022, 01:12:06 PM

It won't be a surprise if one or two of the countries of this list end up having Bitcoin as a legal tender in the near future.

No, not just two but many, that is what I see. It is just to see that many people are curious about crypto, especially for Bitcoin, the more they got into knowing how this work and the more they support this becoming a legal tender. Might not be too impressive to see what happens with Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador but this serves as a mirror to other countries that there is no wrong about trying. It was really hard to encourage people nor they can urge us especially if we don't understand it.

Well, I hope this meeting is successful and more countries have been encouraged to give support Bitcoin and to consider it as legal tender aside from fiat.

I was surprised that most of the new topics in the altcoin discussion are all about Luna.
I could see that many people, especially holders are hoping to see some light out from the darkest time of this project. But, I'm not sure if the developer or the owner of this project will hear them nor I could think that they will find a way to lift up their reputation after being busted by many exchanges where it was listed (e.g Binance). Maybe I'm wrong but doubted if the project still has the chance to regain its reputation as these investors and the community had look Luna as a scam.

Would you rather buy a house to live in or rent an apartment to invest in bitcoin  Since bitcoin is experiencing bear what decision will you take make use of the season or let it pass.
For me, I'd rather secure my living first. In fact, we can do both together, we buy the house and invest some Bitcoin. Fund management is very important in your situation. Well, if you have a job, then make use of your salary to add capital from your investment. You can now focus on investing as you don't have to worry about rental expenses, unlike if you rent an apartment.

Give time to think about it and make a decision that you think was right and you know that it was not regretable.

2. DON'T BORROW MONEY - Many still do the same mistake like this and when the market turns to negative, they are also drowning and the situation will get worst simply because they use the money which is not them. If you want to become profitable, save for your capital first.

I don't see any wrong with borrowing money if the reason is to start for investment. But what went wrong if we use it to invest the wrong coins.
Maybe I'm wrong but this idea has been a practice for many years ago, we just adopted it but neither we have to change this for as long as we know what kind of investment we have.

I agree also that there is a disadvantage to doing this, however, I don't find it a big mistake. In fact, many rich people commit debts to run their business, they'll take risks as well, the same thing we do upon investing in crypto.
2160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 19, 2022, 10:36:04 AM
Experience shows. Warriors won in a good amount of lead. Early garbage time.
But there are still a lot of errors that need fixing. Their ball rotation is different from when they are champions. 15 turnovers and most of them are from an off-target pass.
Wiggins on the other hand covered that with his great defense and did not show exhaustion helping in their offense too. Just like Steph said, "This is his time."

 The Warriors defense definitely kept the Mavericks in check all night. Luka’s made shots weren’t easy ones and they held him to 6-18 from the field. If they can keep that up, it will be a breeze to the Finals for them. I’m glad their core team is healthy again for the first time in years to remind everyone just how great they are. Wiggins and Poole being nice additions. I just wish Wiseman was out there too. He seemed like he could really take them to the next level with his size.

Yes, actually the Warriors didn't lost their title, they just become unhealthy, and then moving forward, Durant is no longer with them, but the core remain and then some good additions in Poole and Wiggins. Wiggs become a all star too with GSW so now he is proving it in this series as he is the main man to check Luka and he did great.

They don't need Durant, they are more exciting to watch with the original big 3 (KT, Curry, and Green), they started the Warriors and now they are close to be in the NBA Finals once again. Mavericks has to make the right adjustment to at least compete well with the Warriors because game 1 was a total one sided game only.
