If you really did it then, congratulations.
Sometimes all you need is a bit of courage to take the risk. I have read that you are a trader and a short-term one.
You did a good choice and most probably you have already sold what you bought. If I have the budget, I might have also done the same thing, but it's just to keep it long-term.
That low price could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance and we may never see it again.

If no Trae Young next game, so it just evens it out, as both superstar as out with an injury. Hope though that Giannis can recover quickly, this opportunity may not come again.

Maybe tomorrow we will see some news, give it like 24 hours, I'm sure they are doing everything to get him at least play. Nice adjustments on the side of the Hawks, just like the Clippers, they are in a must win situation so they did everything perfect and ties the series.
Trae didn't leave his team, that's the good side of him. He stayed on the sidelines to cheer for them. Leaders like him make a huge impact on the team if they meant every support they could give.
Doesn't need to force it, all he has to do is trust his teammates to take the win and they did.
Cam Reddish given minutes was all worth it contributing 2/3 in 3 points, 2 steals, and 1 block. Surprising. We got to see bench players wake up their ability in a nail-biting ECF.

I personally think Trea Young is a terrible player. Always forcing passes and throwing up those floaters. Kinda happy to see the Hawks win 1 without him. Far as the series goes, if Giannis is out the Hawks will take the series.
Yes, a sudden change with the flow of the series with Giannis being injured.

I saw it and I thought it was really bad but he managed to walk by himself afterward and it was a relief.
A part of his feet bent backward after he came down trying to block Capela. I cannot even watch the replay as it melts my heart.
The bad part also was he was starting to find his rhythm.

Middleton should start heating up early from now on. He had been inconsistent for an All-Star player.
Game 1 15 points
Game 2 15 points
Game 3 38 points
Game 4 16 points
Sorry, he was consistent in a bad way.  Grin 15 PPG

I don't think Zuckerberg will just let it go.
He has a purpose, to make more money and Libra is the answer. He will surface the issue over and over until one senator will support it for the coin to be regulated.
As of now, there is no good news about it and they keep on putting it in the garbage but as time goes by and cryptocurrencies floating more on social media it will be like Ripple or Tether when passed.
1965  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 29, 2021, 03:48:26 PM
They attempt to rally back and almost successful they put it down to only 4 points, if that 3 points that Jackson made and that flagrant foul by Crowder, Clippers might end up to nothing,

Congrats to all those who believes that Clippers will still hang on, they managed to win and keep their hope alive, they'll got another game at home and have that chance to continue chasing for the ring.

Who knows what fate is waiting for them, Suns needs to work if they wanted to finished this series and advance to the finals.
Paul George wants that win so bad he will do everything for it. Patrick Beverley has the same motivation as him and he input it all with his defensive explosiveness.
CP3 was having a hard time dealing with him and so does Booker.
I like how Tyronn Lue trusted Batum to defend Booker whenever both stars are on the floor.
He may not have the speed but he has long reach and it affected Booker's performance.

Later, Bucks and Atlanta, the odds are already telling who has a higher chance to win. Quite different with Clippers and Suns spreads that are almost identical.
The Bucks will win this.
1966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 29, 2021, 09:30:55 AM
Well... in this last game we saw, Clippers can be a dangerous and strong team without Kawi Leonard... 14/15 free throws, PG was on fire, DCousins only played 10~11 minutes and scored 15 points.

I don't know, but I'm seeing it happen again like it did in 2016 finals, Cavs vs GSW "3-1 come back".

wow, imagine if Clippers can get a game 7 and can win this WCF!!?  Roll Eyes Shocked

Definitely anything can happen!  Cool Cheesy
Definitely!  Cheesy
I am with everyone who wants a game 7 here. Even if it will be at Phoenix with homecourt advantage, it will still be entertaining to watch how the Clippers could maneuver the pace of the game with all the fans against them.
I can see a lot of confidence from the Clippers team and they should stay like that if they want this series to have a good ending.
Well, it's not that far, and just one more win for the Clippers to witness exciting greatness again.

It's called wrapped tokens.
Quote
Wrapped tokens allow an asset issued by one blockchain to live on another. They increase the liquidity and capital efficiency of centralized and decentralized exchanges. They can also bridge the gap between isolated liquidity on multiple chains and offer significantly faster transaction times and lower fees
They use it a lot with their exchanges that also use a wallet. It's not an issue because you can still exchange it at their network.
But, if you want to keep the real altcoin or real Bitcoin you will need to exchange it for something without the "W".
I think they use this method to prevent failure of providing with that certain coin/token especially if there is a low total supply.

Lower fees and transaction time is fast because you are just using the Binance chain in this example.

That's new to me. I had no idea that Chauncey was accused of sexual harassment before. Was it even out in the news before or they kept it?

It's been known for a while, why do you think he's had trouble landing a job as GM or head coach the last couple of years, best he could do was assistant for the Clippers, or doing stuff for ESPN. It's hard when you have something like that on your resume...
Now I know the reason why he is on and off-air with ESPN. I thought he will be regular there but found out he was an assistant coach for a team.
Then now, he is the new head coach of the Trail Blazers. My goodness.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31721009/sources-portland-trail-blazers-reach-agreement-5-year-deal-hire-chauncey-billups-coach
I really hope he is good at his coaching style only and not with sexual harassment anymore.
I'd give him a chance but hands-off to any body, I mean anybody.   Grin
1969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 27, 2021, 11:29:32 PM
Blazers are set to announce their new head-coach[1] early next week, but we have some very interesting (not so much if you are a Blazers fan) news coming out of Chris Haynes:

source: https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1409249662351994881
Quote
The backlash from Portland Trail Blazers’ coaching search and his concerns over whether a championship contender can be built have become major factors that could force Damian Lillard to request out, league sources tell @YahooSports.

If you haven't followed the story, Lillard is taking heat from some Blazers fans on social media, because of the hire of Chauncey Billups[1], there have been rape allegations dating back from the late 90s against Billups. Lillard is saying he didn't know, nor that he was consulted when picking the new coach.  This is still a developing story, but don't get surprised if Dame indeed asks for a trade, anything that comes out of Haynes, Shams and Woj is 100%.
That's new to me. I had no idea that Chauncey was accused of sexual harassment before. Was it even out in the news before or they kept it?
Trail Blazers management could always just pick another coach if they still want sales of their tickets with Dame as the face of their franchise. I think he deserves a better coaching staff and there are so many options out there. Chauncey could stay as an assistant working his way to the hearts of the Portland team if they will hire him for that position.

1971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 27, 2021, 02:40:52 AM
In one hour, Clippers - Suns game is going to start. The series is 2-1 now. At Clippers, Marc. Morris may not play due to a knee injury. He couldn't play much good in the series so far. So I think that it won't affect the perfomance of the team much also. I think it is time for Clippers to equalize the series. But I feel like their job won't be easy this time. I expect a solid performance from Suns too. But at the end, I believe that Clippers will win the game by less than 10 points.
With Cam Payne back this is really going to be a hard-fought game for the Clippers even at their home.
There's a big difference when the Suns give him more minutes than Chris Paul. They could go back to fast transition plays and dictate the pace of the game.
Clippers can't find their shooting range just yet. I wish they can on the 2nd half to make this game more entertaining.
It's all good looks and not even contested but they can't put it in.
1972  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market Prediction for 2024 on: June 27, 2021, 12:00:40 AM
It's okay.
Other analysts are predicting it higher than your numbers but your's looks a bit real or you are just shy to put higher figures.  Cheesy
As long as it goes $100k in 2024, I may be already happy with it. That will mean a lot and maybe that's also the point when people will recognize that Bitcoin is real and not just some money-making thing of the billionaires out there.
1973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 26, 2021, 02:15:17 PM

Stephen A. said yesterday that Brook Lopez is a liability inside the court because of his slowness and he can't defend the paint when he is into a pick and roll. Now the Bucks proved that it is false and they capitalize on their height plus their defense putting a one sided Game 2 win against the Hawks.
How about we start admitting Stephen A. Smith had always been wrong with his predictions and the ability to choose what team he is rooting for. Maybe we could also start realizing that we should not follow him anymore.  Grin
Just kidding, he is a good way to receive news but that doesn't mean we should also follow his opinions.
He is a good news anchor but not an analyst.

Here is a good fact. Bucks lose game 1 with a 3 point lead from the Hawks while Bucks win with a 30+ point blowout game.
They just need information about them but in the end, it will be Bucks until the end, "Sorry for the Hawks fans."
1974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 26, 2021, 07:26:28 AM
The suns chemistry is ruin by Chris paul return, in the last two games their style of play is very different, they were attacking and moving without the ball when Chris return they need to wait for Chris to set up a play, they should have tried what is working, certainly, the Clippers can't keep up with the level of plays in those two games, but I think game 4 will be alright for the suns.
Oh, c'mon, that I disagree with. We cannot blame it all with Chris Paul, it could be just their chemistry or we can call it an off night for the Suns while good night for the Clippers.
Fastbreak points may be low but that's because Cameron Payne is hurting his ankle. He is even listed probable for Game 4.
We all saw how he turned the game around at game 2 and it will affect the Suns in terms of help for offensive options.
Booker needs to play at his best next game.

Lol, just woke up to see the Bucks by 40 points lead? So I cash out to cut my losses.

I still have the over 221.5, I don't know if they can cover it, they need to cover 46 points in the fourth quarter if my month is correct to have a chance to at least win. Maybe someone can refresh me as to what happen in the first two quarters that I missed.
I was overwhelmed at how the Hawks win Game 1 and I thought they could steal another. I lose and never had the chance to pull it out.
Defense is what happened in the first half. The Bucks stayed in front of every shooter and even Lopez and Giannis are stepping up instead of just waiting in the paint.
1975  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are the older Meme coins a good investment? on: June 25, 2021, 03:23:43 PM
Investing in meme coins carries a lot of risk because you should invest with a capital you can control because your money can be lost at any time or the value of those projects may go to zero whenever so or be cautious with such projects.
Yes, that's correct.
Most of the time small investors are the target of these memecoins. It's cheap and a lot of times we also submit to our greediness with a promise of hype by known players of this market.
But all of that is their scheme for they know we will bite their trap for a big profit short-term.
It's an old school strategy and if you are a veteran in the crypto industry it will be easy to tell what you should avoid.
1976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 25, 2021, 11:00:37 AM
Suns are in foul trouble throughout the game, game 3 was really for the Clippers and they made it successfully. Pane was also injured and did not come back in the game, so all the advantage was really on the Clippers. I'm not sure if they can even the series, but hopefully they'll play the same intensity in game 4 and Beverly has to still do his work on Booker.

The Clippers really loved to be behind 0-2 in this playoffs. They tend to become stronger during game 3 and up. I'll be more impressed with Paul George If he can bring his team in the Finals this year. I mean PG has been slandered as much as LeBron in this league.
Though I'd love to see the Phoenix Suns in the Finals, but I also like Paul George to be in the biggest stage. He had an amazing career back in the Pacers but Miami was too much for him. This might be his only chance to win the championship.
Yes, and when they are in momentum it gets scary.
They might even finish it off in just one sweep but that's just me being too excited.  Grin

Zubac proved something now, he can do it against Ayton. I guess his confidence is back now that PG13 needs a lot of help from everybody.
The last time they were against Jazz he was benched most of the time because they are using the small line-up to abuse Gobert being slow to react.
Now, they definitely need someone to guard Ayton and more.

I will be more glad if these whales start to sell and will have a hard time buying afterward.
That means Bitcoin could be scattered to anyone. i.e. small investors or merchants.
Somehow it could also balance the market and not allowing to have sudden dumps and pumps in larger numbers.
Manipulation will be minimized and volatility may not be that high anymore. It can happen but it needs patience for individual waiting for the right entry point. $29k was a good choice.

He said before he was politically attacked, who knows. It may be true but no one will tell about that story now or even prove it.
Where could his Bitcoin stash be? He may have passed it to anyone years ago or it may be at his last will. I am a little curious how much could that be.
I said a lot of bad things about him in this forum but dying is different.
I wish he could rest in peace although taking your own life is not a good way.
1979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 24, 2021, 11:51:11 AM
Kawhai needs to clear his way too. A very tough game with Clippers even playing at home if CP3 will help the Suns, though all those 2 past games are close for sure adding CP3 to the lineup will make it tougher for the Clippers.

They need to have Kawhai to balance the game, for sure it will be more interesting if both stars are playing.

Clippers is in need of a winning combo else Suns might take a game from their home and finished this series in a much quicker way.
Yes, I do hope he will also be back before this series ends in a sweep. (assuming there will be)
The stakes are too high, this could be his 3rd team to win a championship and tie with Lebron James.
It would be lovely if he will not miss that awesome feat.

Just to calm a bit about the Finals, here is a piece of news just recently popped out my notification.

I disagree.
If there is no TA where would you get information on how the market "might" move.
It's a way of reading the movement basing on every possible history that Bitcoin passed through.
Yes, you could say it's speculating only but I'd take that rather than a bad "guess".
Traders used all their efforts to make it, and I consider it art even with how volatile Bitcoin will move. If they can hit a 70% chance then it becomes way cooler.
