Hahaha! Nagulat ako kanina meron mga nakatag na "This user is a suspected spammer!" dun sa NBA thread. Akala ko totoo hanggang sa pag scroll down ko nakita ko sina Baofeng na di naman spammer. Kaya naisip ko potcha April 1 na pala tayo ngayon.

Happy April Fools mga kabayan! More power satin dito. Sana meron na tayo bagong merit source this year. Apply na din yun iba para more chances na may makalusot.

Well, it's been years already since Ryan Garcia is challenging Tank Davis in public. Tank a couple of years ago went to 140 also. It came from Tank Davis' mouth that Ryan Garcia tried to negotiate for 138 then 137. Tank Davis being a cherry picker and doesn't care about fighting nobodies and tomato cans for the rest of his life never gave Ryan Garcia the chance to meet halfway which is at 137.5 something. Tank Davis learned a lot from Mayweather's strategy of exploiting deals or no fight at all. This is the reason why Oscar De La Hoya seems a little furious about his ward's willingness to give up everything and just follow all the demands of Tank Davis. At 136, they should have demanded a no-rehydration clause.

You're a little lost mate or maybe you meant 135. Ryan fought Tagoe and Fortuna last year, so he is nearly a year inactive. After this, Oscar will be more focused on grooming Vergil Ortiz, Jaime Mungia, and his other potential prospects of becoming superstars since Ryan is ready to leave boxing after earning $5 to $20 million unless he scores an upset.

I have a feeling that the western conference ranked 4, 5, 6, and 7 might be more difficult to beat during the playoffs. These teams are not just capable but they are well-experienced teams with playoffs veterans that can remain composed during the toughest games and clutch times.

Poor Dallas Mavericks, I want them at least inside the top 10. This might be the most stacked year in the west. Although I did notice since I was a kid that the western conference is always with better win-loss teams than the east.

Well, we live in a world where everything can be seen online if we have basic knowledge and skills. As a gambler for many years already, I am always very careful in introducing betting to people, especially the ones that I feel struggling financially and less educated. At least educated people that are seemingly fine with their financial situations can afford some amounts to entertain themselves in casino games and the thrill when they are betting on their favorite sports, leagues, teams, and athletes. 

No, I cannot wait for 3 years to finally decide to close a losing business. That's just way too long for me. Although I haven't had a business with a capital of over $20k. A few years ago, I tried to open a business with that amount as its capital, after a few months of processing the papers and attending meetings where sometimes politics are involved in a local place, I gave up before it even started.

So maybe a big capital like those rich people are starting, they just cannot simply give it up and lose all the investment. But for smaller businesses, 3 years is just way too long to suffer and the capital loss is a bit tolerable.

They might as well just rested Giannis or Jrue, Kris, or even the aging Brook Lopez to avoid expectations from the fans and fully avoid possible injuries. People went in there expecting an intense rivalry game between the Eastern conference's best teams. Although a few years ago I read about Giannis not being a fan of resting players so the whole Bucks starters went in there but only to chill and void a physical game. I only watched a portion of the first half but I never went back to finish the remaining quarters.

Denver is another team that is 3 games ahead of Memphis so they can also afford to rest or chill out. That win from the Pelicans though costs Luka and his team to grind harder than ever just to secure a playoff spot.

That is true, unless those people are already born rich, they can invest right away or start their own business to their liking. Ordinary people like us need to grind harder for us to have extra funding for investment purposes. It is what it is, we got to sacrifice part of our lives to reach the goals we dreamed of. 

In terms of talent, each of us has special skills and talents. The difference though is we may not be able to work it out or we also need to sacrifice a lot like spending money or leaving our job to pursue a career that fits our natural talents. So this is also another advantage to those that are born rich already, they can easily go to any school and take their hobbies, interests, and talent to a different level.

But we just have to be positive and continue striving for the best. We may start from the dust but once we achieve that success that we worked hard for, it is a great feeling of success.

So I read a conversation from my hardcore friends that Tank Davis didn't just demand a catchweight at 136 but also a rehydration clause of no more than 146. So this is a fucked up fight for Ryan Garcia. So I guess it may be true that his lazy ass is done with boxing and just wanted to cash out big time so he surrendered every possible leverage he could take in this fight for sake of millions of dollars for his early retirement fund. Ryan Garcia is nearly a year inactive and after spending 2 fights at 140, he is now back to a catchweight of 136 which would be harder for his growing age and that rehydration clause will affect his full potential for this fight.

No wonder Tank is getting 1.39 odds which surprised me, I was expecting around 1.50 something.

 

Meanwhile, we have an update on Jason Moloney, the supposed opponent of Nonito Donaire for the vacant WBC strap. Earlier, the Moloney team want to fight Donaire and try to bring the fight to Australia. But Bob Arum said it does not want to get involved with any fighters from Probellum citing its connections to an Irish mob that is wanted in the US. Now Jason Moloney is set to face Vincent Astrolabio for the vacant WBO belt. Luckily for Astrolabio, Moloney is denied a title shot in his native Australia as his post mentioned Stockton, California is the venue. No reason was cited but it could be Astrolabio accepted a deal to avoid a purse bid but the venue should be in a neutral place or it could be Arum or ESPN that wants the fight in the US for its viewers.

May the best man win. I hope Astrolabio wins so it could be easier for him to unify with Donaire or any other future champions.

Sa ibang bansa na mahigpit ang sim card registration ay pwede pa din naman makabili ng prepaid sim cards pero sa mga registered business entities kung saan ang magkaroon talaga ng KYC bago ka pwede bumili ng sim card. Hindi rin kasi pwede ipagbawal ang prepaid sim cards kasi what if masira yung dating sim card mo? Lalo na mga sim cards dito sa Pinas minsan bigla na lang mag PUK kahit may load naman.

The playing style of Westbrook is indeed fitted as an alpha. He is good but his inability to shoot beyond the arc, especially for his position as a pg and the main man of the team, is a big minus. We saw him when he was the alpha at OKC and they cannot even proceed to the second round of the playoffs. There was also the time when PG played there but only as a second option after Russ and the season ended up with PG having the lesser time with the ball but being much more accurate and efficient than Russ. That probably leads PG to get out of OKC.

Canelo is so popular that even if he cherry-picked his opponents he can still take home 8 digits after PPV counts. Bivol should earn around $10 million in case of a rematch. While Benavidez is a monster, Bivol is still a class above and is still the more difficult fighter to beat. Maybe Canelo can earn more against Benavidez but hats off to him if he pursues that rematch. Meanwhile, Bivol did mention earlier his willingness to drop to 168, so I am confident that a rematch happens because he accepts either at 175 or at 168. I see Bivol as a small guy at 175 though so he should be able to make 168 without much difficulty. Those undisputed belts at 168 are very tempting, to be honest. Canelo took years to complete the 4 belts and Bivol has the chance to win it all in a single fight.

If Donaire becomes a champion again and wants to become a unified champion, there should be no problem dealing with the other future champions especially if they are with PBC like Rodriguez and Astrolabio where it has a great relationship. Except if Moloney wins the WBO and Arum is serious with his calls on not to deal with Probellum fighters, it will be hard for Donaire to become undisputed although I doubt he still has time to collect them all one by one.

It also remains to be seen if Donaire still has the ambition to drop down in weight to become a 5-division world champion.

Nice joke OP. Imagine if we create a thread for every joke we find on the internet. Kidding aside, it's a no-brainer. Just think about the supply of Shiba Inu going $50 a few years from now. So meme coins will be accepted globally or maybe to some other planets as well so that aliens can help pump Shiba Inu to reach its market capitalization to hundreds of quadrillions in dollars? I know Shiba Inu will burn a portion of its supplies but still, it is insane for someone to say that it will reach $50 in the next few years. The video is not even worth listening to or watching.

Trading and investing are also psychological. Our emotions are involved especially when dealing with the amounts that we cannot afford to lose. Experience can help but not 100%. After many years of trading and investing, I became less emotional although I believe it really depends on the amount we are dealing with.

Newbies on the other hand will have more difficulty dealing with emotions. For example, a few weeks ago bitcoin dropped to $19k but then after a few days, it went back to $24k. Most newbies probably became itchy to cash out their profits without knowing that it will increase further to $28k in the following days. Nonetheless, it is important to be content with every profit and hold no regrets. Just focus on the next ones. As for me, I will only sell a portion once bitcoin touches $100k.

Buying cheap is obviously the formula to gain profit and value, not just in bitcoin but in everything in the market. The question is, how cheap is cheap to you? How confident are you to catch the dip? The best way to do this is thru cost averaging. After years of experience in trading and investing, I realized that it is mission impossible to catch the dippest and the highest prices. So we should be more contented with every gain we have no matter the amount.

I am into DCA on bitcoin and so far so good. And if ever it will go down just like last year, it doesn't matter because I can buy cheaper and it helps my purchase cost a little lower.

Indeed. These are very challenging times for us, especially on the financial side. From the COVID-19 pandemic and then there's the invasion of Ukraine by Russia that greatly affected many economies around the globe. You and your wife need to find more side jobs OP if your current income is not sufficient for your family. If your children are schooling in a private school, you can transfer them to a public free school if possible. Think deep in silence OP so your mind can find ways possible for you to earn. You can also participate in airdrops, especially those big projects that are expected to launch their own tokens soon.

Do you want to be relieved of the stress brought to you by trading and investing? Just do a regular DCA. Since I started this especially on bitcoin last December, I became carefree. When bitcoin dumps, I feel happy because I can average down. When the bitcoin price rises, I felt nothing because I knew the real bull run is yet to happen next year. Although there is always in my mind that I need to buy as cheaply as possible but it also feels good when I can see in my portfolio that I am gaining a good percentage of my investment.  

It is not a waste of time since they were having fun. But it is just too costly, unless for someone with a very high income where drinking and eating outside four times a week is just immaterial. Maybe OP's friends are already contented with their lives, having a lot of fun every week while still able to support their family although without big savings for future use.

We all have different dreams and outlooks in life. I can sacrifice a few years without many hangouts in order to invest in crypto before its bull run. We can also have fun while minimizing the cost as well. Instead of hanging out outside, I can stay at home watching movies, playing computer and mobile games or many other fun stuffs at home. It really depends which stuffs we want to prioritize.

This is probably my first time seeing in the NBA as many teams that are close and are one game apart from each other, especially in the west. Most of them have 7 remaining games left. Maybe it is safe to say that Utah and Portland are now out of the contest unless a miracle will happen.

My eyes will be on #7 GSW and #8 New Orleans later. Both teams are very hungry to add another win for a better chance of getting playoff spots. New Orleans though has no rest day and it is probably the reason why the odds aren't generous in spite of their 5 game win streak.
