It's clear that the league did give a light punishment for sure, or maybe they gave a light punishment so close to season so that everything could start normal and then maybe they could start working towards something much bigger later on when they reviewed it more? I do not know the reason but he got off lightly for sure, if he was forced to sell his team that would be a lot better.

I mean I still do not get how an organization would have the power to tell you to sell your company that makes money for you, but NBA is the one that decides who is in and who is out so if you do not sell then they will give that spot to another brand new team. This is why it's much more important to make him sell, would be a good punishment.

Teams deciding on the next season already is a good decision and probably the updates they have this year were all decided long time ago, which is why I am not shocked to learn that they are going to end up working on the next years car.

It's normal because we are seeing these clubs seeing the difference RBR has and that means we are going to see Max win and RBR win at the end of the season and clubs know about it and racers known about it and it's much more important to focus on the next years car going into half way into the season already. If they can make something work and have a better car then we are going to be see them much better and maybe a competition to Max next year, because they can't be this year.
2303  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to LUNC after its founder is arrested?! on: September 15, 2022, 06:08:23 PM
LUNC is not doing anything with the founder not arrested neither, so it would not make sense to expect anything more from them when he is arrested too. The only answer would be they would arrive where they would normally arrive a bit quicker, that seems like the case, aside from that they are a coin that will go down and be zero eventually anyway, I am not really seeing them being "zero" but they will be basically not in anyone's mind and only have a few thousand followers like a brand new project, nothing bigger than that.

It may take a bit of time to get there but I guarantee you that it will get there for sure, and you should get out before that happens.
2304  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum The Merge on Google on: September 14, 2022, 04:09:58 PM
Crypto is getting bigger enough to have these kinds of stuff. I remember back in the day I was having trouble even for a crypto related ad on google, of course that passed long ago and now we have been seeing crypto related ads on google for many years, but when I first started it was a difficult thing and my first ever website got screwed because of it.

These days crypto is much bigger and that is why google cares about it as well, they like it when people could find answers directly from them, look at the sports world for example, you could type in the game and they will tell you when it is or if it’s played what the score is. That’s what google is evolving to, giving you the answers directly by themselves.
2305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul VS Anderson Silva October 29th on: September 13, 2022, 07:44:45 PM
I still can't make any sense on this "entertainment boxing" world that is going on with the Paul brothers. They were getting a lot of heat from that one video, and then they ended up moving to boxing and now they are making a killing from this as well. That doesn't really make any sense to me at all, why would anyone think that boxing for fun, between two people who rarely knows how boxing works, is worth watching?

Recently they branched out to other fighting style people to come and box with them, the whole Woods vs Jake was a big joke, Woods should have taken him very quickly, I guess age does make you worse, Silva is not young neither, it could be a trouble for him. Once the greatest fighter, now just a cash clown, very sad to see.
2306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: September 13, 2022, 06:56:28 PM
Everyone is expecting City to win and I like it when the league is like this and someone else wins. I mean it would probably be more about the fact that it is not going to be that much of a problem when the whole season is said and done and City lifts the cup and that would be a bit boring but would probably what everyone expects.

However, if we have a season where City just ends up with a loss here and there and someone else wins? Even if that team is Liverpool (unlikely for now but they are a good team) then it would still be a good season to watch, if it is a team like Arsenal then it would be insane to watch, Arteta would be praised to hell for sure by every pundit.
2307  Economy / Economics / Re: Which city deserves to be the blockchain capital? on: September 13, 2022, 05:31:34 PM
Interestingly Amsterdam is not far away from the current climate neither. I mean I agree that London is on another level when we are talking about finance, they are literally the headquarters of the world and even though USA looks like a richer nation and has wall street which is known as a big finance center, London is a lot bigger when it comes to moving money around like crazy.

So, crypto should be feeling very welcome there if the regulations are met, the law is not clear on it as much as we want it to be, because not every bit of angle on crypto is covered right now, simple stuff like trading and exchanges could happen, but we could also have a lot more stuff going on like defi or nft or whatever which could be built all there.
2308  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Binance giving more Apr in fixable staking (saving) than locked staking? on: September 13, 2022, 04:04:38 PM
The idea is that flexible could have a higher reward for now, and lower later on, but fixed price will always be fixed and will always give a return based on that. I personally do not stake there, but if I were then I would pick a fixed compound one which would allow me to grow bigger for many years, whereas flexible would be on and off which would create a bit of a trouble.

Plus, the benefits of fixed is that it would be terrible for you if you leave, hence you decide to keep it in there longer than what you would do with a normal one and I would be definitely taking it out ifi t was flexible, whereas I would force myself to keep it if it was a fixed one.
2309  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What I've learned after 3 years building an algo trading bot on: September 13, 2022, 03:24:01 PM
I worked for one for a year as well in 2017 but I can easily tell that most of them do not know what they are doing. If the whole idea worked so perfectly then they would have used it themselves and make themselves rich.

The idea is that they are both making money from selling, which is growing their capital for their own product, but also they can get richer and faster this way, and using the bot would require a lot of fixing too. They see you as customers but also as beta testers as well and when there is something to fix, you tell them what is wrong and they fix it, and if there is an idea, you suggest it and they improve it, so they get richer from your help too.
2310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: September 12, 2022, 07:46:29 PM
4 goals by Barcelona, 4 goals by Real Madrid and 4 goals by Athletico madrid. I mean it is not getting easy to read which teams are doing how, I get that ATM may not be at that level anymore, probably not going to win the title but all these three teams look like if someone else makes a mistake they will be there to recover it.

I know that it is not going to be easy, but it is not going to be that hard neither from the looks of it. At the end, why would we want to see them lose? So, it is a good thing that they are winning. I personally would prefer to see them win all the games until the end of the season and draw each other, but we all know someone will make a mistake eventually.
2311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: September 12, 2022, 06:58:03 PM
Every year everyone thinks that this is time for City to win, and every year they find a way to lose and meanwhile La Liga teams always end up going further than anyone gives them credit for.

People do not realize this but if you look at the rankings, even though Premier league clubs have more money and more freedom and La Liga teams have a lot more trouble financially and need to follow some rules and do not get the same love globally (even though still loved a lot) we are not seeing premier league clubs having the same type of luck. In the end, I believe that it would be still either Real Madrid or Barcelona that will win it this year as well.
2312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA's EuroBasket is rigged with a proof on: September 12, 2022, 06:24:32 PM
Proof doesn't mean what you think it means. Proof would be like a ref coming out and saying it was rigged and even with that there would be questions but it wouldn't held up in court. The best thing to do here is to find real proof, not a fact that you have seen three games ending in the same result, by logic if you win a game where you win 0.1% of the time, you could still win it 100 times in a row, is it improbable?

Of course, but it is not "impossible" so if you do it then you can't say it is rigged, same here, yeah 3 games in a row is unlikely, but it is still not impossible and proof of nothing. The game play by play doesn't mean anything at all neither.
2313  Economy / Economics / Re: 'We don’t have enough' lithium globally to meet EV targets, mining CEO says on: September 12, 2022, 05:58:09 PM
I didn't know that Afghanistan is rich with that much mineral. Usually when USA goes to invade a place, they come back with those minerals as a result, to keep them there and not get them back does sound a bit like a problem. In the end, they didn't win that war to begin with, they left and left the nation to the worst kind of people, which means that we are going to end up seeing a lot of people who will question the motives.

If there is a chance that those minerals could be digging out then we are going to do it one way or another when the time comes. I am not saying that it will happen right away, but it doesn't look like it is going to be a possibility to leave them there forever neither if we need them to continue.
2314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: September 11, 2022, 09:03:32 PM
Barcelona still looking like the old days, I expected them to have a fall off after a few good games but between the league and the UCL they keep on winning.

The hard part for them is that Real is also keep on winning as well. When both teams are this great but one of them suffered big time to get here, you would know whats going on and you know that Barcelona can't handle this. In the long run we shouldn't be shocked with the results because both of them are good teams but Barcelona really needs them to find a way to go over Real again, otherwise all this was for nothing.
2315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 11, 2022, 08:05:00 PM
It is understandable if we didn't see championship contenders at the top right away, I know other leagues still have some of the big names at the top already but Serie A doesn't but it will happen one way or another. I am hoping that the best thing to do would be just waiting for more results, they may have failed a few times so far but they won't keep on failing and won this week too.

I believe by 10th week we are going to see Milan, Inter, Juventus all on top places once again, which is going to be something to ease our minds about the games at least.
2316  Economy / Economics / Re: ECB lifts rates by unprecedented 75 bps on: September 11, 2022, 07:23:40 PM
I mean this was expected to begin with, we couldn't just have this kind of low rate when the inflation is going this high, they needed to do a tight budget thing and retract money from the markets so that the inflation would drop.

This would of course result with recession but that usually means a potential to get better, sometimes when you get sick you need to take the bad taste pill to get better and you need to fix that as much as you can, and then you can start to get better. I believe this was a great decision and I believe it will 100% help Europe in the long run, in fact UK needs to increase theirs as well as soon as this whole Queen stuff is over.
2317  Economy / Economics / Re: Rich Mindset vs Poor Mindset : 6 key differences on: September 11, 2022, 06:10:50 PM
The liability versus asset thing is real, and it is getting a bit more easier to understand by people as well. The consumption is not dropping, but it is not going as high as it used to, meaning the rate is dropping even if the amount is increasing.

This is mainly because people realized, instead of buying the brand new iphone, they could spend tat on buying stocks that pay dividends, this is not fun, but it is definitely entertaining. Debt is making a big comeback as well, because people rather make debt today, and pay tomorrow since inflation would make that debt look smaller. It is a great situation to be in, but not realized as good at first.
2318  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is a reliable store of value - what’s a reliable store of value for you? on: September 10, 2022, 05:55:22 AM
As long as we have "diamond hands" as they call it these days, then we can make a profit from bitcoin. Bear market is not a reason to sell your coins, if anything it is a reason to buy more bitcoins right now. Haven't we said "buy low, sell high" enough times already? You buy as many as you can during bear run, and you sell as much as you can during bull run and keep repeating that and eventually you will have a lot of money.

I am the type of person who buys at bear and buys at bull, I like to have 1 bitcoin before I die, but I would understand selling at the top in order to buy even more when it goes down, I just don't believe in myself to know when it is at the top.
2319  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Merge will change Ethereum blockchain consensus on: September 10, 2022, 04:38:25 AM
I do not believe that it will go above BTC that easily, it will take a while before it could do that but I believe that it is possible and people are overreacting on it. Just focus on the fact that bitcoin is the first one, and eth could get close to it at least, could it go above it? Possible, I believe it is possible but even if it doesn't, what if it just gets close to it?

Right now, if you check the marketcaps, it is under 2x difference, meaning if ETH goes 2x higher while btc stays the same then eth will be over it. Even if it doesn't happen, what if it is just 20-30% difference instead of 100% difference? That's still quite good.
2320  Economy / Economics / Re: California passes law requiring companies to reveal pay by race, gender on: September 09, 2022, 09:30:11 PM
The downsides of this doesn't outweight the upside of it. If there are other races that gets paid less, or women do get paid less than men, for the same exact job, then maybe we should have this law to make sure that employers do not abuse this system.

I get that it "may" cost a bit more, but the reality is that if all the wages are open in public, which should have been the case to begin with, then it would be like a few lines of code for a software and we are done. Hence, I do not think that it would be that difficult to handle this, it would be quite simple. This is why I am in full support of this, to make sure that we get equality all around.
