I dont like joining debates about this rich and poor differences when it is in social media because there are a lot of stupid people there who don't think first before they put it in words using their keyboards. Yes, they are called the keyboard warriors to be precise. I am avoiding them for most are pessimistic ideas and you won't learn anything from them but just fuels your stress.

I like what you have done though, protecting the poor who have dreams. But there are a lot of poor people that are just too lazy about anything and are just giving up with their dreams, so they tend to just put the blame in their parents or their God.
This is case to case basis.
Because there are also rich people who won't keep their riches if they stop working. So hardwork is still necessary and once they become lazy their kingdom will fall.

I'd love to see Anderson Silva knock down Jake Paul but this is an obvious win for the Paul Brothers production. Anyway, it's just entertainment, I am not sure if they will give their all here. Even in the press conference that happened there's no spark at all. It's too peaceful. You will have the kind of idea that it will be scripted. Betting, I will be wise to bet for Paul even if it's not much profitable.
I wish this will not be a game that will bring down the reputation of Silva before he fully retires.

If you are hungry for risk, then you can take this path. Micro cap coins are mostly for short-term profits which can also be found in trading instead of investing. So, if I would choose then I'd take the trading part of it so mentally I am prepared about what could happen than invest with it and be stuck thinking of future gains.
But as you mentioned in your opening, it seems like your portfolio is already solid. Maybe you are really looking for something to play with.

They got him for cheap and yet he was the Finals MVP. I think that's worth every penny to sign him again like an appreciation gesture for doing a great job at both their offense and defense. He doesn't even need to play anymore just like how Dirk Nowitzki was guiding new players in the Mavs while he still has a contract.
I sure think this will be the last year of his career. I see him having a job somewhere in ESPN or TNT after this run.

It was proven that there's no accurate prediction when it comes to Bitcoin. I believe that as history tells it.
So, would you believe one guy that says Bitcoin will go here and there this time and that time. I guess not or should not.
Most investors want the bigger number especially when you are a bag holder. Creating a hype is their priority so they can take advantage of the pump, sell it and then buy back when the value sinks. It's all business for them.

Whoa! That's a lot of money you are leaving. I only have $300 worth of cryptocurrency balance in my favorite sports bookie. I won't go higher than that and I mostly withdraw my profits.
I don't like leaving that much, not that I don't trust them but it's just my way of doing things when it comes to money.
Yes, just like you it's for an immediate bet when I see a game that I like, not slots or dice because I stopped playing them, more on sports betting.

I've seen this and experienced it. Multi-accounting right now is like a norm in gaming and other applications. Worse, it's the developers that are giving the tools on how they can do it. They sell it.
Once rewards are seen through 1 main account, they will try to take advantage of it by creating more.
Security about this should be their first goal.
But that will rely on looking at every IP and it's a lot of work. What if one household honestly have different person that is using one connection?
It will take time before they could see a healthy way to prevent it.

Yes. But a country whose main product is ammunition and weaponry will be in good business here. That's why they are the ones who are questioned for creating war because of their businesses. We all know what country that is.
They are paid differently, it's either power or like a loan shark that will topple the economy of the country who participate in war for years. Debt is a powerful weapon now. You can even control one country or city just because of it.
Economic progression will definitely slow down before they can stand on their own again.

It will be successful, I do believe that. It's not like many of Americans are still using literally cash, most are using credit and debit cards so when it comes digital, it will be more like an upgrade again.
Is it a threat to Bitcoin? No, so does any fiat that is change to digital.
It goes back to the sample of credit and debit cards. They exist and yet investors are buying Bitcoin. It's not really because of usage but more like preparing for the future.

Ooh, that's like a liver punch to Westbrook if they implement it. I am not sure, maybe this will be good. If it's not, then he could just change it back.
Spice things up a bit unlike what Coach Vogel did benching Dwight Howard which is still strong even at his age.
So, we might see Westbrook decreasing in minutes per game. That's his plan that he had been telling after he was announced as the new coach.
We will see, it's difficult to judge now. If it works, Lakers bandwagon will be back.

It's the hype of the long-awaited big change. I doubt it will be long unlike ICO, NFT, and others who made the trend for quite a while before it calmed down. Maybe because it's brand new, from POW to POS, how will it happen. From high charges in fees and slow transaction to an expectation of cutting it down in cents and less traffic.
But it's not happening yet but imo, that's all I want to witness and maybe others have the same expectation.

Depends on your country restrictions. But if you can access reputable exchange then it won't be a problem too.
I don't think there will be a time it will be harder to buy Bitcoin. When its value grows there will be more people that will be willing to sell when they want out and take the profits.
Selling might actually be harder when you put an order that will be higher than the current price so it can cover the transaction fee and other stuff that needs to be paid.

Westbrook has 1 more year in his contract if I am not mistaken. That means the Lakers could shoulder this if they are not pushing a championship this year. But that's not the case, they want the win now and rebuild later. Maximizing the strength of Lebron while he still has the speed and body to give them more trophies.
WB is not a failure, he did what he can on a roster that is broken with injuries and less skillful roleplayers.
Schroder on the other hand has something to prove, it balances their needs if ever the Lakers will keep WB.

I would not look forward on that even as a sports fan. I'd rather go to the game buy memorabilia and try my luck for a player to sign on it.
That will be better than an NFT item which value could go lesser as time flies by than a real thing that could be displayed in your house and boast to your sports friends.
They keep on advertising the Sports NFT's because there's not many buyers. It doesn't really work. Lower your expectation for it to gain value.

I work remotely and I can say there is more distraction unlike when you are in office.
It's easy to say to plan everything but you just can't follow those effectively whenever you feel like you can do some work later.

Hardcore discipline is necessary if you are working from home. If you have kids, there will be time they will disturb you and you cannot just say no to them, everything had to be explained or else they will feel like they are not loved.
It's different from coming home from work and they greet you with joy.
The time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are also changing if you are distracted.

An update regarding the Sarver incident.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34600876/phoenix-suns-minority-owner-jahm-najafi-calls-robert-sarver-resignation
So that's how they punish their majority owner.
NBA should learn from this. A ban and $10 million fine is not enough, and what's worst is they just punished him with just 1 year so next year he can do it again.
He should step down. That's the right thing like what Jahm said in his open letter.
Just imagine how awkward it will be when he goes back and does these things again in the shadows.

I do agree with buying now than regret later but the $45k is kind of a in a doubtful situation.
It's not that I underestimate Bitcoin because I have seen it surprise me most of the time but with how bad the economy is right now after spending the resources during the Covid pandemic, it's difficult to see a big impact that would hit cryptocurrencies in the investment perspective.
The less fortunate who had been investing small amounts are gone, all we have left are whales trying to manipulate the crypto market and they are waiting for the right time to sell. When? It will be at the time the small investors are back.

Considering what happened during the bubble where most black men were fired from their jobs and others were killed, yes they are increasing the punishment for racism especially in NBA where the NBPA is pushing their rights as an American and not like a different human that is still chained in slavery.
This case about Sarver should not be missed too even if he had a good position in the Suns.
18 years as an executive, the question for me is "Why just now?"

It's okay let them do it, waste more money in projects that are not even far from using the banking system.
Then there are applications now where you can send money even with slowest internet. That's their real enemy in this business and perhaps they should just empower that and use one application that will be beneficial for the money.
I still don't understand why they are doing this. Fiat will stay and nothing can prevent that but using CBDC is not the answer to strengthen it or speed things up.

You just need to find that altcoin with high volatility. That's first when it comes to trading.
Then, see to it that you can take care of it by monitoring the price movement at almost 24/7 of your life. If only your money is on the line.
Altcoins are meant to make you money in the short run, that is my opinion. It's not something to HODL at long term although there are exceptions like Ethereum.
