21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [Discussion] Best Altcoins Portfolio 2024 | sponsored by BC.Game on: March 02, 2024, 03:03:21 PM
Those who have taken everything except privacy coins are pretty much in the green Cheesy

Unfortunately XMR isn't helping much at the moment from a speculative point of view lol

I put 40% of my ducats into XMR, so yeah...  In USD value it didn't drop much, but with BTC surging it sure looks like it's performing poorly.  I've noticed that's a pattern with XMR, however; When Bitcoin is climbing XMR will drop, and when Bitcoin is dropping XMR will climb.  It makes perfect sense if you consider those who are using it for privacy will want to wash their BTC gains.

What's up with Doge?

Good question.  I guess it's popular enough with the "cryptocurrency" crowd that it will follow along with Bitcoin's lead.  I'm pleased to see XRP is climbing too.  I'm still holding a small IRL bag that's in the red, but it's getting close to matching my USD investment at this point.

When I heard that the USFL and XFL were merging I assumed each league would bring 8 teams, for a total of 16.  It's interesting that they chose to reduce to a total of 8.  I guess they weren't sure how much interest they would generate, and decided to keep the expenses manageable at first.

I would love for a secondary league to challenge the NFL and break their monopoly on professional football, but in the past I've found it difficult to get excited about any of the teams or players.  Maybe it's because they often shun the Western US, but that's probably also due to dollars and cents so I get it.  It's also not the best time of year for me to want to sit in front of the TV.  Spring is for mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, and turkey hunting.  Not to mention the EPL starts to get exciting around that time also, and yeah, I'm one of the 12 American EPL fans that exist.

A friend of mine called me to let me know he has two tickets to the Super Bowl.  He bought them last year for $2,500.  They're on the 50 yard line, lower reserve, on the Niner's side of the field.  The trouble is, when he bought them last year he failed to notice it's the same day he and his fiancé had planned their wedding.  So, he's looking for someone to take his place.

It'll be at Mission Dolores church at 1:00pm.  Her name is Amy, she's 5'4", 115lbs.  She'll be the one dressed in white.

Is Taylor Swift a Pentagon asset?

Oh no, you've done it now. Black helicopters incoming. It was nice knowing you. I have no idea who this person or anyone in this thread is.

Pffft.  A Pentagon spokesperson already debunked that conspiracy theory in a statement to Politico, the bastion of honest and accurate journalism:

But on Wednesday, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh pushed back against Watters claim, referencing one of Swift’s big hits by saying in a statement, “as for this conspiracy theory, we are going to shake it off.”

Yeah, I'm convinced.  Cool

I’m glad it was a disaster. I’m embarrassed to admit it but I got malware’d trying to find a damn stream. I ended up getting malwarebytes pro from a buddy so it kinda worked out lol.

NoScript and Ublock Origins are a must even if your not hitting up pirate sites..

I use a Linux VM for those types of things, it isolates my main OS from any shenanigans.  I started to look for a pirate stream for that game, and decided it wasn't worth the trouble since I had other things to do.

Good lord this thread was buried 4 pages deep today..a sign of the season coming to an end which legitimately does make me sad lol.  I'm kind of like Hunter S Thompson in this way (very famous author, wrote Fear and Loathing Los Vegas and others).

Hunter S. Thompson is a riot.  In the early nineties I used run with a group of folks that looked at Fear and Loathing as an instruction manual, which kind of turned me off to his writing for a significant amount of time, but I re-read it about 8 years ago and remembered why he was so popular.  His writing style is pretty awesome.

As for the dwindling football season, yeah it's pretty depressing.  This is the first weekend without football, and all honesty the Super Bowl isn't enough to quell the sadness.  The Conference Championship games are way more exciting and entertaining, the Super Bowl is more of a celebration than anything else.  And I'm not looking forward to the Trailer shitshow that's bound to be the focus.  I'm afraid the refs are going to force the the issue so the Chiefs will win so that Mr. Pfizer can propose to Miss Illuminati during the post-game celebration.

Anyways you guys been seeing all this stuff about Caleb Williams and my Bears?  Man I swear if he forces his way out of Chicago I will lose my mind.  I won't have rooted against someone more in my life.  I think that kid is going to be beyond special. 

It kind of reminds me of the drama with Deebo leaving the Niners a couple of years ago, it may be just a ploy to get other teams to the negotiating table.

No but really, well done by the Niners to come back in the second half.

Funny thing, only one other team came back from a 17-point deficit to win a NFC Championship game, so the tonight we tied the record.  The other teams was the 2012 9ers.  Roll Eyes

It's not AI spun bullshit.
Research properly before making unproven accusations next time.

It is AI.  Any half baked American can sniff it out when a spammer tries posting about football.  If you want to post in this thread then post your own words, or I will keep deleting them.

In any case, for the superbowl I want the 49ers and the Ravens to win.


 Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh

What would it look like if they tied?
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: January 23, 2024, 08:51:32 PM
What do you think @DireWolfM14, since these are your boys

I'm scared.  Not because I think the Lions are that good, but when the Niners suck they really, really suck.  Plus, I'm trying to not jinx anything by being overly confident.  Not to mention, Shanahan-coached teams have a history of chocking in big games.

Having said that, I tend to agree with your logic.  Assuming Deebo is ready, the line will go up.  And if the Niners show up the way they are expected to, I don't see the Lions causing us much trouble.

Base on your description, he broke the contract by not returning the principal on time, you had every right to sell the collateral to compensate yourself for the defaulted loan. 

At this point I would consider the loan closed, it's a done deal.  You don't owe him anything, and he doesn't owe you anything.

On the 49ers, on what they showed vs. the Packers, I reckon they are very lucky that they will play either the Lions or the Buccaneers in the NFC conference finals.

Niners didn't look very good at all. They spent a lot of the game behind in points, and their defense made up for an offense that was 90% carried by Christian McCaffrey. Purdy kind of folded under pressure a few times. Anybody who bet on Green Bay to cover is pretty happy right now. Having said that, I agree with you and am pretty sure they can easily beat the Lions or Bucs in the conference championship.

Two close games tomorrow... now that the "easy" picks are out of the way.

The Niners looked flat for most of the game.  Greg Olsen talked about how many of the starters had two weeks off, saying "there's a fine line between rest and rust."  Honestly, even McCaffrey looked like he was missing a step.  It was good to see them take advantage of the short field after the missed FG to take the lead.  There's nothing like a 4th quarter come-back to get a team inspired.  I watched that final drive a few times already, Purdy came out with a different attitude, you could see it on his face as he stepped on the field.  He was putting off that "Joe Cool" vibe.

But let's hand it to the Packers, they were though as nails.  Based on the way they ended the season, and their performances last week and last night, they looked like the toughest team in the NFC right now.

I agree that the Niners shouldn't have too much trouble with either the Lions or the Bucs, but the Ravens look like a fucking nightmare in the making.
