Lol I’ve got plenty to say about this absolute horseshit and the companies behind it. I’m too tired right now to get in to it, but I wouldn’t trust Power Coin or Top World Coin. Shady ass company(s)

I've heard good things about this, and I think maybe I've discussed this in this thread before, but the whole reason I've avoided it is because I absolutely can not stand Patrick Mahomes wife Brittney (however you spell her name) and I know she's a big focus in the series.

I did watch Hard Knocks last night though and definitely recommend it.  The Jets are about as exciting as a team can be right now and of course there's plenty of Aaron Rodgers so far.  He actually comes off like a cool guy though and I know that's not true lol, so there's definitely a bit of "fluff".

This is extremely vague and entirely depends on a large number of factors.  First off location, competition and things of this nature need to be strongly studied.  Nothing dumber that opening a new business without doing your proper homework first. 

But the answer is yes, of course there is...if it seperates its self from the competition or if it's a project that "solves" a real world issue that needed being solved  (this could be a huge number of things, and very much like crypto coins... "what does this coin offer that the others dont")

lol, you're friend sounds kinda dumb and immature if I'm being honest. No offense, but just saying.  I've had a lot of friends who are ignorant to how bitcoins work and have educated them, often times doing things like teaching them how to load a hardware wallet and things of that nature, but I've never ran in to an inheritance situations like this.

There are actually books written around this subject, your friend should check them out.

Here in the United States gambling has very much gone down the same road that the legalization of marijuana has gone...legalization is booming and negative stigmas are being torn down.  Now there's still plenty of people whom have an issue with both, but that is mostly "baby boomers' or "boomers" as we call them, and they are dying off and become much less of an influence nationwide as they had been before.

Anyone who thinks negatively of my gambling habits (which are completely responsible) can kiss my ass.

   Sudden wealth syndrome, I can't say I've heard of this before and not real sure this is an actual thing or if you made it up..either way...I would love to contract SWS! 

The truth about this is people overall are simply financially illiterate, and they think "wow, I've got all this money all of a sudden, it's going to last forever" and often times it simply vanishes with over spending.  People tend to not do a good job of saving, and think that since they won, that they should keep gambling and it'll keep happening.

I understand that the US dollar has been taking a hit, but it's still the worlds reserve currency and quite frankly there's no other fiat that could replace it on the global stage.  The US is still the worlds number one economic super power...that's just the facts. China lies about all of their reporting and the Yuan is surely never going to become the worlds reserve currency, Russia is ran by a mad dictator and they clearly aren't as "advanced" as we once thought...so I just don't see this "new order" coming to fruition.

Learn* not lean. 

I have to ask, why does it always have to be about "investing" and "profits" when it comes to bitcoin?  I'm not trying to come down on you, but that's not what learning about bitcoin is all about.  Learning about bitcoin is understanding why it was created, how it functions (the blockchain) and things like how it could change the way we look at and use money and how we use "money" moving forward.

Profits and what not are great, but lets not forget bitcoin is inherently NOT an investment.

I was on a date last night and the girl thought that I had told her I wasn't in to gambling for some reason. I told her quite the contrary, and being a first date it lead to some good conversation (ie things weren't quietly awkward lol).  Anyways besides trying to impress a girl/date who really likes gambling herself, I never feel any sort of pressure from anyone. If I ever did, I would tell that person to stfu and probably never talk to them again lol.  Friends don't pressure friends like that, or they shouldn't.

Wolf - thanks for setting up the discord channel.  We have one for the bitcointalk league I run and it's a lot of fun having a place where we can chat freely without annoying the ever living shit out of moderators in this thread lol. 

Anyone have any drafts yet or start running mock drafts?  I had my one draft for my new keeper league, and have a ran a few mocks.  God damn I love NFL football season

I watched some of the fight and then watched the highlights of the fights the next day.  I am once again annoyed that someone didn't know the f out of Jake Paul ( I would prefer him and his douche of a brother both get knocked out every fight they take), but of course he wasn't fighting a boxer per usual. 

When are these dudes going to fight legitimate pro boxers their own age??

20 - ChiBitCTy

Please and thx!

Figured I’d kick this off with my emerald Guardian (plan to purchase the diamond version soon).

 

My buddy who seemingly gets tickets for every major sports event on this planet is of course at the weigh in / press conference whatever they call this pre-fight ordeal these days (I’m a causal obviously) and just posted this on his instagram feed. Thought I’d share.



I will probably try and stream the fight (match). I haven’t been paying very close attention to it, but I’m kinda getting intrigued now.


Edit: here’s some video of them clownin with each other  - https://imgur.com/a/MsNOArB

This is the type of thing that I studied at business school in college ( university ). By saying that any business that isn't profitable in 3 years should be put out to pasture, you're ignoring an avalanche of variables that could be at play that make this "3 year and dead" theory nonsense. 

It truly depends on a thousand different factors, location, when you projected to break even/a profit, competition, overhead etc etc etc

lol you seem to like the word five huh? ( I'm just messing with ya ).  That said, when people to to derive patterns off of bitcoins history, I find it kind of silly being that it's still a new technology in it's infancy, and so it's history is brand new, and trying to derive patterns, especially patters of five, for something that been around for what, 13 years.. that just doesn't really make any sense.

I could argue that someone not "playing the waivers" is using less of it up, so they are more deserving of getting that next spot in the order.  Why should someone be rewarded for playing poorly? They could be picking up and dropping players like crazy AND get preferential treatment on the waiver wire...I'm not a fan of this personally. 

That Hall of Fame game sure was boring, can't wait for the real season to kick off!

As I'm reading through so many of these responses, I can't help but wonder how many of you are actually investing the right percentages of your weekly pay to necessities such as your retirement plan and healthcare, and which of you are using money that would go to those important things are going to your gambling habits. 

I don't have a % set of any sort. I bet when I want to make bets. If I had a percentage I'd be an out of control gamblers, which thankfully I've never been.

Nice write up here.  This is something that I'm often discussing for work.  Here in the United States inflation rose to 40 year highs, somewhere around the level of 9-10% (on average).  Some stuff inflated 60-7-80%...crazy stuff. Like seafood for example exploded.  Thankfully we've managed to get it to come back down to earth..where they say it's around 4% or so, but I still feel like it's much higher.

FINANCE TIP:  Never keep your cash savings at a regular type bank accounts such as Chase/Wells Fargo/etc. Make sure you use online banks (or some credit unions) which offer much higher interest rates.  Bannkrate.com does a good job of showing who's currently got the best rates.  Just for example Chase banks and Bank of America (the worlds two largest banks)savings accounts have an annual interest rate of .01%.  Ally Bank has an annual interest rate of 4%.  One is keeping up with inflation and one isn't even close..ie you're losing money in it!  INSANITY

I have to deal with the SEC on a regular basis working in finance, and they are a bunch of fucks let me tell ya (not nearly as bad as FINRA however).  Anyways, finally they get something right.  It's true, bitcoin is very different from most coins.  Most coins (shitcoins) realize that they can't compete with bitcoin on any level when it comes to being a coin that has it's same features just better, so they have to do something to attract customers, and that's when they turn their coins in to securities.  Honestly regulation was well over-needed in this space.
