Bucks seems desperate to add a defender to their as they look to add Beverley to their roster. That dynamic is going to look interesting hehe.
And not just that, they're one of the teams that are showing interest into getting Dennis Schroder. They surely want to take this season's ring but not just them are taking some time to take chances with having a better trade.

NBA rumors: Bucks emerge as Dennis Schroder trade suitor

Siakam to Pacers seems to be the biggest trade for me. I mean maybe I haven't seen anything bigger, but that looks like a good one for the Pacers. They only gave up a few players and some picks, but Siakam should be able to contribute a lot more to them.

Considering they are already sixth seed, it feels like we are talking about something that may not be all that hard to handle for them to get higher, if Siakam fits the system and they work well together, they should definitely find themselves at a higher level.
It really takes time for him and the rest of Pacers to get along with. But sure it is one of the best deals and Pacers won that trade. And just recently for Hornets, they've made a trade.

Reports: Thunder get Gordon Hayward in trade with Hornets

Now that the price has increased and back to $45000. This is going to give everyone the thought that the Bitcoin Spot ETF did really have an impact to the price.

We're not yet done and we're waiting for more as the more impactful and better event that shall come on April is the one that is like the main event of this cycle.

The halving.

I also saw that the Bucks must sign him, and waive Thanasis which is very funny, but kind of true. Just so you know, Tony Snell has a career where he just went "cardio" for 20+ minutes. No statsat all, and the only thing he did was run on the court. Cheesy. Thanasis? What is he doing on the league? He isn't even playing, and the team don't need him aside from him being a cheerleader for his younger brother. Cheesy
Haha, Thanasis our guy.

They've been in losing streak when the change of coach has happened. He's the million dollar guy that's hired to hire his brother. But seriously, he's drafted first by the New York Knicks so maybe he's really got the talent but then Bucks just seen better deal with him.

He's expensive personal body guard of Giannis and I'm sure that Bucks is so ready to get rid of him but they can't do anything since he's under protection of their star brother which they can't afford to lose.
Nah, I don't think that the Bucks is in a way or close of disposing him. They won't get rid of him as he's like the assurance of Giannis staying with them.

Despite that there are rumors about Giannis want to get out of the Bucks but I am sure that he will always be included with their deal and that's why they're not going to get rid of him.

Also I think he will not drafted if his not a good player maybe he just need a break to show his talent and capabilities to help the team that's why if they need additional help maybe its better for bucks to used him or try to develop so that they get something from him. If they let him sit on bench I think nothing will happen and they just waste their money for him. Much better find solution to their struggle since for now they can't do good decision regarding to that issue so they can perform well this season.
Yeah, he was drafted by the Knicks and that means that he has seen something with the team. Now, although a lot of funny moments have been made against him.

It's just so hard to resist those contents that made fun of him.

In most of the developing countries, unemployment is high and that's why someone has to hustle and find more opportunities that they can find offshore through freelancing without even the need to leave the country. But not everyone can do that, and that's why there are workers going abroad and finding the opportunities that fits them there.

And for poverty, that's the result of having high unemployment and lack of opportunities. It sets the idea that it's fine to become poor if many of them are but, if someone has an open mind and sees the terrible situation that they have. Can't even eat at least 3x a day, that's what will make them want to get out of it.

As for crypto, it helped a lot of people, families, unemployed worldwide. I can still see a lot of it especially those that have been fine doing airdrops, it's the reality that they can be one time big time with those.
165  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: AI-generated fake IDs claimed to pass crypto exchange KYC are selling for $15 on: February 06, 2024, 10:46:31 PM
We have been hearing about this type of fake verification since many years ago.. It is not new.
That's true but this time, it's AI generated and it's much easier. Before, it's from someone who collects these IDs in any source that they can get it.

Maybe in the dark marketplaces for which majority of the IDs there are either fake or came from hacking and that's why it is so unethical to purchase from any of those and of course, it's not your identity.

So for a trader who wants to use the exchange to trade large coins will definitely avoid this kind of service because it will eventually lead to problems in the long run.
That trader will definitely face the consequences if he's not going to do it. While we don't like exchanges or any service that requires us KYC, on this matter, if you love your funds and saved cryptos, you don't have to get into these services of buying fake identities.

I don't know about his figures but that's for sure that he's still bagged a lot of money during his entire career run. But if it's with spending habits that are too bad for him, there's no help with that.

Most of them will realize that they did the wrong thing when they're on their peak of their careers. But then, after all of those bad spending habits or when he's a giver to all of his relatives, he gets back nothing.

Poor guy, but I hope that there's a redirection and will still have some opportunities that will come for him.
Based on what I'm seeing online, it seems like he's playing in the G-league currently (under Maine Celtics).

Also, if the only thing that matters to him is that retiree benefits plan, he can still get signed next season. 10-day contracts aren't that heavy for teams, especially for those who need players right now. If not only for the CBA, Snell would've played in the NBA now. He can still have other options just in case the NBA doesn't want to sign him, but it's a good sign that he's starting his career again at the G-league despite him having autism.
If he's going to play in the G League, will that affect that benefit for himself and his family? Also, if he signs next season, won't it be affecting that plan as well?

Because with what I am reading, that's the reason why they need him to sign asap last week because of the deadline that he won't be eligible anymore for that benefit if he's not signed until last Friday.

I also saw that the Bucks must sign him, and waive Thanasis which is very funny, but kind of true. Just so you know, Tony Snell has a career where he just went "cardio" for 20+ minutes.

Start to learn on your own and you'll get to see how it is essential to get on with the market, the changes, the news and almost every stuff that you can work on to improve yourself in trading. Even not in trading but with your familiarity on the market.
Some people actually teach themselves to develop their trading potential and they use various social media to learn technical and other things related to trading. Even though the risks are big, people will be able to understand much better when they are directly involved slowly and to avoid losses we can try with a small potential first.
I agree going on with small amounts first. This is lessening the risk that you're taking upon trading and newbies don't have to jump to big amounts as they start. That is one common mistake that we see being done by them. They jump to the conclusion that they'll earn big if they start big but no.

Everyone should just forget about signals. They are not going to do you any good but they'll ask you money for your participation there by receiving nonsense signals from them.

So, it's best to just develop your own way of analyzing the market, going on with technicals and fundamentals and that's more than enough.
Following signals may not be a problem as long as we try to analyze them again before getting involved in them. The aim is to compare the strategies they offer with the strategies we have developed ourselves. Following other people may not always be wrong because there are times when it will be quite useful, as long as we review it and don't follow their pattern completely.

Developing one's potential in trading would be much better, but we need comparisons as several people on social media have tried to explain regarding trading, but don't forget to make your own research before making a decision.
So, take some ideas from the signals but still study them and analyze if they're good or not. Well, it's up to you if that's what you think with signals and they're meaning ful.

For me, it's just best to avoid any of them because you might be one of those that are being manipulated by these signals instead of you being aware of them that you should them.

Great advice for newbies! Self-learning and developing your own analytical ability are key elements of successful trading. Having an understanding of the market and the ability to analyze it yourself gives you confidence and helps you cope with changes in the market.

Relying on third party signals can be risky, and developing your own skills is a reliable path to successful trading.

According this website _ https://hoopshype.com/player/tony-snell/salary/

His total earnings in basketball is $53,175,288 ($64,432,174*).. if he was able to handle his finances well, he should not struggle after his NBA life.
That's a lot yes but I think that most of them are going to taxes, commissions of their agents, etc. And it's possible that he has saved a bit but then don't have managed to be financially well.

It's a common issue for many NBA players and athletes.

Then I guess he has to adjust his lifestyle as he is not making this huge money anymore. Let's say he has to pay for the expsenses you've mentioned, say 50% was for that, then maybe he was able to keep $30m in his career in the NBA, that's still a lot of money if he was able to manage it right.

NBA is truly purely business, if you don't play your cards well, you'll end up not getting a team.
So back up plan is always necessary, like having a livelihood after basketball, easiest is to start a business since he was able to raise a capaital.
I don't know about his figures but that's for sure that he's still bagged a lot of money during his entire career run. But if it's with spending habits that are too bad for him, there's no help with that.

170  Economy / Speculation / Re: ETF accumluation and price impact for bull run on: February 05, 2024, 06:12:50 PM
I am thinking that with the combination of them what if it's going to reach 500k-1M Bitcoins? That's a lot of money honestly, I haven't done any calculation yet but it may come to that point but I am talking about combined acquisition by all of them.

Without ETFs I had been expecting this cycle's peak price to be $120k to $140k, but with now with ETFs I could see it potentially being more like $140k to $160k.


What do you all think? Your estimates cycle top price and for amount of btc held in ETFs by that point.
That makes sense, not quite high but just like a x2 from the last bull run. And I think that this is what we're getting every cycle we get in. Like for 2017, it was $20k then $69k on 2021 so the number goes on.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 04, 2024, 11:03:01 PM
That's sad.  Embarrassed

I do understand if no one had helped him. But just for the sake of what he has contributed to his former teams, they're a lot of it but still business is business I guess.

Maybe some exemption can be made just for him to be eligible let it do alone by the management.
We can't blame that no team would sign him since his numbers aren't really valuable for them.
Looking at his stats, (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/snellto01.html), nothing much in here, just a regular player that could and anyone that is young could contribute like this, maybe even with lower salary.
For the sake of his welfare and his family but then, yeah, it's all pure business and there's no need for any compassion just to take the eligiblity of the guy.  Undecided

172  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Im good with shorting binance on: February 04, 2024, 09:53:37 PM
So, just wanna ask if there's someone who have come to go with OPs shorting signals and became profitable?

Because no matter what kind of offers will be given in here, I doubt it that many are going to join because everyone is just too tired going on with these signals and groups with the same promises.

Even they're for free and they have that psychology of telling people that they can just donate money after being profitable. I think that there's also the conscience that tells that even if you guys didn't make money as long as you're part of the group, you can donate anytime you wish.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 03, 2024, 11:09:47 AM
Unfortunately it seems Snell fail to sign in any team in NBA team base on this article Tony Snell didnt get a team on NBA   maybe NBA teams doesn't want to waste their slots and money for charity. They are in total focus to get more helpful players that can give them good result on their campaign this year.

Its really unfortunate to see that happening but I guess that tells that NBA is for pure business and they don't care about anyone need something like that badly.
That's sad.  Embarrassed

So I guess for Tony he need to work on other way so he can provide his family what they need especially on their medical needs.
Yeah, just praying him all the best and to overcome this challenge but as a father he'll do everything for his family.
174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin still fork and do exchanges still keep the forks? on: February 03, 2024, 07:18:14 AM
Never heard any new forks lately but still see some projects like the typical meme coins attaching Bitcoin's name to their project.

And as for the actual forks or new split tokens came out that are kept on exchanges, the exchange has the final say whether they'll support that fork or not. If they won't support it then it means free money to them and won't distribute the fork coin to their users.

They announce it but I think it's one of the major jackpots that most exchanges got.
175  Economy / Economics / Re: Business/Entrepreneurship. on: February 03, 2024, 04:24:20 AM
I like watching these shows that are related to startups like Shark Tank and Dragons Den because first of all, I like how these aspiring entrepreneurs pitching in front of these investors and that's part of their growth.

How they pitch matters but the actual startup and project they are working on is what the investors are buying. And for me, if I am one of the investors, as long as I see that there's a potential on the project and I like the personality of the pitcher then I'd invest.

But I know that there will be failures and mistakes of these decisions and that's part of angel investing.
176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 02, 2024, 10:05:11 PM
In today’s weird news. Tony Snell has come out publicly as being autistic (if he already did I was unaware) in an attempt to get signed to one more NBA contract. If he gets signed one more time he’ll hit the NBA’s 10 year mark to get healthcare for his family for the rest of his life. His kids are also autistic, so Tony is asking for a 10 day contract and going public with his health issues (and his family’s) in order to try and get a contract. This is a story to watch as time is running out.
I've read this news and the deadline is on Friday. If no team signs him up until Friday then he won't be qualified for the league's benefit that will definitely gonna help him and his family.

Any team that sees his situation could give him a hand and even he'll heat up the seat on the bench, that's no problem as long as he'll get that benefits that will help him and his family for the rest of their lives.

Mark Cuban might help but is there any spot on the roster?

It does seem like Mark Cuban would be the guy to help Tony out, but he's having all sorts of DEI issues at the moment so he'd probably face backlash for this actually...  

I do hope that someone will go out of their way to sign Tony Snell to a 10 day contract today at least before time runs out (a matter of hours now), but I could understand why other owners or the league could be upset if this becomes a thing.  Tony Snell isn't a charity case though.  He's had a good career and I think he's as capable as any NBA reserve to sit on the bench for a couple weeks.
Even Chales Barkley have called the NBA teams to help Tony to become eligible with that medical help that will be part of just for this little contract that they can give to him.

Isn't it this day is the deadline for his eligibility? and if no team signs him, then that eligibility will be gone. I can't find news or any updates regarding if a team has signed him already.
177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 02, 2024, 07:31:31 PM
Rockets got bigger now with this fresh news that came out.

Grizzlies trade Steven Adams to Rockets for Victor Oladipo, three second-round picks, per report


Quote
The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to trade Steven Adams to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Victor Oladipo and three second-round picks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. The Grizzlies will receive two 2024 second-round picks and one in 2025.

Adams has not played in over a full calendar year due to long-term knee problems. He last suited up on Jan. 22, 2023, and missed the remainder of last season with a PCL sprain in his right knee. He was expected to be back this season, but underwent season-ending surgery on his knee in October after non-operative rehab failed to resolve instability. At that time, the Grizzlies announced that he was expected to make a full recovery for the 2024-25 season.

Although Adams is not yet playing due to injury, but when he comes back, he'll be a big help for the team that has been doing pretty well this season. They need a big guy and Adams is just the right answer. So great news so far about the trade news.
I agree that this a big addition to the Rockets whenever they're going to play with complete roster including Aquaman.

Anyone here that have read the trade rumors about Lebron James? I've just seen it and I wasn't familiar with the name of the person that has released that statement and as if he's like Woj.

I can't find it anymore but only this breakage of that rumor by Rich Paul and said that Lebron won't be traded.

Do what you are better with.

If you're good with binary trading then why keep on doing that while adding some of your profits on Bitcoin holdings? You're on a Bitcoin forum and the majority of the people here will tell you to buy and hold.

I am not different with those people because holding has been effective to me. I may not be as good as the experts but none is good in holding but each of us who have been holding for so long in corrections and skyrockets.
179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 01, 2024, 11:47:44 PM
I think they can give him a chance. Of course, they can think about the benefit that his family is going to get. He should be helped out in my opinion. Of course, there is going to be some team which can get him to just warm the bench a bit. If giving him a simple chance can actually get his family a big benefit like that, I don't think anyone should have any problem with that.

Let's see if any team actually helps him out before the deadline.
So I was trying to look for some updates on this thing about Snell but I see no update. We're already on Friday and if there are no teams that will sign him, that's sad for the boys of Tony.

Actually Mark Cuban sold the Mavericks and only holds a minority share now.  Wink
Also Snell never played for the Mavs so there is no real connection other that Cuban is into healthcare.
Yeah it would still be ok if someone would come up and give this man what he desires. Especially one of his former teams could do so.

But I mean, he had career earnings of 52 million $ minus tax. I don't know what he need more money for actually. Other families with members with autism can also make it work, and they don't have those millions.

Kind of a strange to ask for this while being rich.
Usually, many of these NBA professionals that have been at the peak of their careers or whenever they've got the best contracts don't know what to do with the money. And they think that career there are going to stay for so long and that's why it's either spent unwisely and lost most of it just as his situation now.

It's not a new case when an athlete like him that played on the NBA before became poor. But I get the point that if the others can make, he should but he's up for the benefit from the league that will be there for the rest of his life.
180  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: As a trader never settle for less on: February 01, 2024, 05:41:01 PM
As a bitcoin  trader and holder one should never settle for less

In life I have watched many rich people who want to make more and more money why is this so??
Because it becomes a habit. Once a person gets to the top, it is addicting that you don't want to be down or out of money anymore and that's why you work even harder.

I have noticed that the rich always want more for there him self even though he has more him still want more to himself, so I will advise us as a bitcoin holder or trader don’t think because you are in your comfort zone makes you feel better that a fat lie I have realized that Comfort zone only makes us feel weaker and lazier

Most rich trader today keep this phase “ The pursuit of excellent is the bests “ so as I young trader don’t always see yourself as someone who is weak and lazy always sand strong in getting what you want at a best level.
Trader, holder or investor they're all the same.

The motivation is there and all we have to do is to be wise with our decisions if ever we get successful from all of these paths or whatever you're good at.

The rich became rich because not on how they've made a lot of money but because on how they've managed those money and how they've reacted on taking care of it well and reinvesting it to the right investments.
