This fight was an IBF mandatory so hopefully, they will give the champion at least a year before imposing another mandatory. The WBA, however, is the one that can possibly issue a mandatory which is probably Akhmadaliev again. Hearn is keen on requesting a mandatory too thru the WBA.

I prefer Tapales to have an easier voluntary defense of his belts and then face Inoue next if the Japanese wins over Fulton. We want the best to face the best and there is nothing more than a unification for the undisputed championship.

What a shame. I thought Memphis will come out blazing in the 4th quarter after losing the previous quarter. The Lakers are really difficult to beat when healthy, Bron and AD are well-experienced playoff players and the rest of the team can gain knowledge and confidence. They really showed efficiency although I am not calling the offensive efficiency of Memphis bad either they really need to do better defensively if they want to beat the Lakers in this series.

I am not feeling good about Ja's injury. But I am also hoping that it is not that serious although reports mentioned that he was already playing with an injury in that same hand so it might really turn worse.

I want Miami to also pull an upset although this is more difficult to achieve knowing Milwaukee's consistency over the years. So far Tyler Herro is starting hot and hopefully, it will continue in the rest of the game since I expect Adebayo to limit if offense once again as he will be more focused on Giannis.

Yeah, I also hope that Casimero gets his title shot against the winner of Inoue-Fulton. Out of these 2 fighters, I like Casimero vs Inoue to settle the dust although I doubt Inoue feels that there is a rivalry between him and Casimero. The last time I checked the 4 sanctioning bodies' ranks, it was the WBO and the WBC that ranked Casimero inside the top 10, and Fulton now holds these belts.

The Philippines never had an undisputed champion during the 3-belt and now 4-belt era. Imagine if Casimero wins the WBO and WBC belts and then faces Tapales to complete all the belts. This will be the first time and a guaranteed undisputed champ from Ph. Meanwhile, Tapales mentioned Inoue as his most preferred opponent solidifying the assumption that an undisputed champion will soon come out. If ever Inoue becomes undisputed, he will become the first undisputed champ in 2 divisions in this 4-belt era. I am not even sure if there was a 2 division undisputed champion during the 3-belt era.

I might focus on watching the Phoenix Suns against the Los Angeles Clippers later. But the Grizzlies and the Lakers are today's closest game as per the betting odds. I prefer betting on Denver and the Bucks but due to the large spreads and game 1, I just opted for Memphis at -4.5. I know the Lakers are not to be underestimated because both Lebron and AD are well-experienced at this level but maybe the tenacity of Memphis might be too hot to handle especially since this is only game 1 and they might not feel that pressured and they are also playing at home.

So what do you suggest OP? Tell our governments to enforce mandatory lessons about bitcoin? Governments won't probably do that except El Salvador and the Central African Republic where these 2 countries already legalized bitcoin as a legal currency. The El Salvadorian government has bitcoin investments it is normal for them to include bitcoin in its basic education.

There are curriculums already in some schools that included bitcoin in their technology and finance subjects. And I have this feeling that this will continue to grow with or without government interventions. Bitcoin is becoming that big and it will keep its students ignorant if they are not going to include bitcoin in some of its lessons. But we better not expect this to happen to countries that banned bitcoin.

So Tapales is then bound for an IBF mandatory later this year or next year. Matchroom and Akhmadaliev are also interested in appealing the WBA to enforce a mandatory knowing the fight was close enough to deserve a rematch. But personally, I hope the WBA will ignore it or at least make an eliminator fight first for Akhmadaliev, and then Tapales should just fight the winner of Inoue-Fulton for the undisputed championship.

How dare Akhmadaliev want a rematch yet he never gave Daniel Roman the rematch he deserved years before. Akhmadaliev is not the one that unified the WBA and IBF belts, it was Daniel Roman who made an effort to start unifying his WBA belts against then-undefeated and IBF champion TJ Doheny. Unluckily Roman lost a very close split decision to the Uzbek.

So maybe we can see any similarities or a resemblance between bitcoin and gambling. Bitcoin is a currency just like fiat's USD and EUR and these casinos will use many currencies in order to cater to as many clients as possible. Bitcoin's growth over the years prompted casinos and sports betting companies to adopt the currency to further boost their clients worldwide just like when they want to add more local currencies from various countries.

When it comes to investing there are risks so maybe this is the same with gambling. Casino games though are mostly based on luck but we have card games and sports betting that is partly more on analysis in order to win which is somewhat similar to bitcoin charting using technical indicators and fundamental analysis.

When I started my bitcoin journey, I invested some money because I do not have much idea about earning bitcoins online. Also, the people around me convinced me that I should also invest money into crypto, particularly in bitcoin due to its high potential. They also invested money when they start their journey. Later did I knew that there are many activities that will let you earn money in crypto. Then I started to join groups on Facebook and met a lot of people that are into the crypto industry and many of them did not even spend money to invest yet they were already holding some bitcoins and altcoins. This indicates that a determined person can own bitcoin too thru its knowledge and skills.

This is one of the most awaited projects that will launch its own airdrop soon. Many thought that it is going to happen last month after a series of tweets from some well-known projects in crypto but that was the time when they launched Era. I made transactions in the bridge twice and did some transactions in their test net. Maybe I should only trade and then of course use Era for better chances of being qualified. We still have nearly a year to do these tasks. That is a long period of time but that time the market will be in a bull run so this one should not be missed.

This is like a tune-up fight for Casimero but knowing that Nghitumbwa is also ranked by 2 of the 4 sanctioning bodies means that this is a good opportunity for him to increase his ranks further. Maybe the WBO will put Casimero in the top 5 if he wins impressively. If Casimero cannot get a title shot after this then he should try to face fighters like Akhmadaliev or the loser of Inoue vs Fulton and other highly ranked fighters.

But imagine if Casimero's title shot will be against his friend, the IBF and WBA champion Marlon Tapales? I wonder what will be the result if this happens.

Oh my! So they were indeed found guilty by NBA officials. I guess the spirit of competitiveness applies to any team that has the chance to enter the play-ins to give it all and not rest its main players. Unlike those at the top wherein they already secured clear slots for the playoffs.

I am a fan of the Dallas Mavericks too but maybe the NBA is right because they gave up when there was still a chance. I guess the decision is more on Luka and is supported by the team overall. They would not risk possible injuries and maybe they already saw enough that queen Kyrie is not fit for their team.

I hope they will let go of queen Kyrie next season. For his $30+ million a season, that is enough to get seasoned players that can play roles to Luka. How about Markannen or Clarkson if the Jazz is still reluctant to provide quality players to their two stars?

People are actually at the right time to start investing in bitcoin and some altcoins. They are cheaper than the last two years so someone that starts now saved a lot of time to lower their average. I am also accumulating slowly and I will buy some satoshis even at $30k higher this month as part of my DCA. And I will continue doing this for the whole year and maybe even until next year before the halving of bitcoin.  

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as late in investing. As long as you are knowledgeable enough about that certain asset of your choice then you are ready. Just don't forget to only invest what you can afford to lose.

My personal pick is the Denver Nuggets but this is from a fan perspective.

We have so many competitive teams nowadays that a good team is not even enough to enter the playoffs. My mind says the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics are the two top teams that might win the crown. Although I am not going to ignore the other teams. GSW is always a team that may perform medium-well during a regular season but they are beasts when it comes to the playoffs. Years of experience in the finals and its new players being exposed to their veterans make them very hard to beat during playoffs unless their core players are injured. I am also curious about how well the Suns perform this playoff with KD. I think they are enough to handle a healthy Clippers in the first round. And there's also the healthy Sixers, they are now a force to be reckoned with.

My favorite coin so far is only BTC and maybe consider ETH too as secondary since there seems to be zero time when I have zero holdings of this coin. I have a list of more than 20 coins here that I can choose to invest. But right now my portfolio is 62% BTC, ETH 22%, and then some BNB, SYS, MATIC, and furthermore coins in smaller denominations like BAT the token of Brave browser.

ARB is also on my list but I am waiting for it to drop $1 which seems to be impossible now as it is already up at $1.68.

There are no such rules when it comes to the amount of investment. No matter how small the amount is as long as you invested something then I guess you are already an investor. Small amounts are even advised for newbies since they are not that familiar and they can just increase it over time. It is also very important to put an amount that you can only afford to lose. Diversification is another thing as well. You cannot put all your savings in one basket. This is good protection since dumps are also possible.

Borrowing is not bad but only when the proceeds are used to build more sources of income. The principal amount will be paid more so the proceeds should be able to earn more than the capital plus interest and additional income for your effort.

In my country, loans from banks, lending, and credit cards are also rampant. And most people here I noticed take loans in order to buy appliances, gadgets, and other goods that are beyond their regular income. Savings is not in their dictionary.

I watched a vlogger before, she was anti-war and anti-Putin but she explained in her videos that there are no major changes to the local citizens. She also proved it while going to the market, shopping mall, and streets. Prices are the same although some Western brands are limited there are some of them that are still available in their malls. Their basic needs are mostly unaffected according to her.

Russia is a giant country with only over a hundred million population. Its resources are overflowing especially the basic needs and this is probably the reason why its local population is not really that affected. They still have access to China and Indian markets when it comes to cheap and basic stuff. Those Western brands in the malls like Adidas, Puma, etc. as what I've seen in the videos are maybe local-made? Or maybe they came from China legally or smuggled as these 2 nations remained strong partners.

Your list of coins belongs in the top 50 so they are somewhat safe from huge pumps and dumps. Bitcoin and Ethereum are always the leading picks nowadays since they are proven over time. But if you are expecting your $40k to turn into a billion in the next 5 years, I doubt it will. Your capital needs to do the magic of x25,000 in order to turn into a billion. And those coins in your list are already worth billions. Bitcoin and Ethereum are not even expected to x100. If you want to become a billionaire with that same amount of capital, you might want to buy new coins or coins that are only worth a few million so that you gain x100+ when it pumps. Huge risks though and there is a chance of your capital becoming worthless. Maybe allocate $10k to these types of very risky coins for you to become a billionaire.

If you do not know how to read TAs which is not even accurate most of the time, it would be easier to start doing a DCA. The most common in DCA is to regularly accumulate weekly or monthly. Some are making their DCA by only buying during dips, but this might be difficult though as we do not know if it happens or how deep the dip will be. Nonetheless, DCA saves you time and effort. Not really free but most likely you won't feel that much stress. 

According to the 4-year cycle which is not guaranteed, of course, next year is the start of the bull run. So you better start doing DCA before the price increase further.

I don't know if the guy is arrogant mixed with ignorance after shamelessly using the retirement fund of his mother unless his mother was the one who presented to use the fund. Taking loans in order to invest? I doubt it is the best way to start investing. The guy clearly did not even have enough experience and knowledge about what he was into. If it is that easy to become rich, there would've been no crisis. We should only risk the money we can afford to lose.

Now that he remains alive. He should change for the better. He needs to work harder in order to pay the debts and the retirement fund for his mother. He better stay optimistic instead of becoming wasted after what happened to him.
