There are rumors that Russell Westbrook is heading to the Houston Rockets and seeing the situation I would say it's possible to happen.
Having Westbrook in Houston will hurt the team rather than improve it. OKC is in the right to rebuild now that Paul George is out of the team. And trading Westbrook is the right move. But I do not think that it is a good fit for Westbrook to go to HOU. Rockets already have a ball hog in their team, and adding another ball dominant player is a disaster.

Clippers didn't become playoff contenders, they were already in playoffs, they took warriors without injuries to 6 games, nobody played the uninjured warriors except clippers.

With this two trades they became championship contenders for sure, I am not saying they will be champions but at least we know for a fact that there is no team that can easily beat clippers, yeah it can go to 7 games or 6 games or have a very difficult over time games and what not and eventually clippers may lose, that is a possibility but nobody can sweep clippers. Lakers between got bunch of great additions, rondo is back, cook came in, cousins came and of course my favorite ; Danny green is in Lakers now. Considering they missed out on Kawhi and had to wait a lot during free agency, it was a great roster fill up by them.

I can't disagree with Clippers becoming championship contenders after they acquired Kawhi and Paul.

Clippers made the playoffs without a legitimate Superstar on their team. Adding two superstars, both a two-way player, definitely shoots their chance for a title up.

The problem here is that PG is dating of Doc River's daughter in the past but he cheated and even impregnated a girl in a party. This is so awkward for them but I want to know how will this awkwardness unfolds.

Remember that these are professionals. They are basketball players but still, they are professionals. They know how to separate professional from personal issues.

Too much bigs for the Lakers, I think they need more outside consistent shooter so they will be unpredictable.
With a small line up but good shooters like the Warriors, I doubt they can compete much especially with Thompson and Curry who really shoots the ball well.
They actually run out of options going after Kawhi. That was an all-in bet to get Kawhi, unfortunately, Kawhi played them. Even after that, they still got some decent players. They can still be a contender if they can blend well together.

The warriors are still a better team but not a super team anymore,
GSW is a super team because of their impressive teamwork. It is not just because of KD. Before KD, GSW is already a super team. KD is their cheat code.

this is the balance I like to see and the departure of Durant is a good sign that next season we will witness a good and competitive race going to the playoffs.

I am still waiting for one player to sign a contract before I can say that next season is a balanced competition. If Kawhi signed to Lakers, the superteam power will shift to Lakers. Kawhi needs to sign to another team before we can say that there is some balance.

I really believe that gambling using cryptocurrency has more advantages compared to traditional casinos and the profit here is bigger than those gambling using fiat currencies.
How can that be? Any casino online or not, crypto or not, have the same opportunity to win because they are all based on luck.


But having those positive advantages, there are also disadvantages that starting to appear in the gambling sites today particularly on submitting personal information for KYC. There are really those cases that we need to submit for KYC or else we will not be allowed to gamble.
Some online casinos are developing a bad reputation because of this. KYC should be required upon registration and not when you already deposited, made some profits and withdrawing your money. A sudden KYC requirement is bad. It is like they do not want to give your money. Fortunately, not all gambling sites do this. There are online casinos you can gamble without fearing to submit to a KYC.
2406  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cash out after having investment trippled in bitcoin! on: July 03, 2019, 11:36:21 PM
my brother had cash out already and I am not surprise that he trippled his money investment. Good for.him but I think it must be hold still if I were on his side. The only problem is that I am not control of his money
This is the kind of thinking that makes you lose money instead of getting profits. Greed is not good. There should be a target profit and if you reached it, take the profit out just like what your brother did.

and seeing him profited in bitcoin makes me regret why I am.not investing and risking money during the bear market.
This just proves that your brother is a good risk taker and he profited greatly from it. That kind of investment strategy is not for everyone. If you are a safe investor, just stick to your investment plans. You should not be jealous of your brother's success and make your own.

Is the script accessible to be audited independently? I mean for all I know your script could be set up to steal what little money I have collected from that faucet over months and years. So if you ask me, I'm better off without such 'plugin' until it is independently verified that it is safe. And going by your incredible reputation (sarcastic joke about your nonexistent reputation) - no one would waste their time with you or your script.

That is also my main concern with scripts and extensions. Since I am not someone who knows how to check the script or code used in this extension, I will never know if it is safe or not. Unless someone we can trust will check and approve this script, no one will use it.  My security is worth more to me than just a few pennies.

... listen to your heart...

I agree with everything you said but this one. investments should be made intellectually not with emotions. Making decisions with your heart is a bad thing in invesments. Emotions can be easily influenced by outside factors. But if you look at things objectively and decide on merits, then you can make an educated and wise decisions on you investments.  It takes a lot of discipline to make decisions without getting emotional but it is not impossible. Practice makes it possible for everyone.
2409  Economy / Economics / Re: What are some not so obvious things that damage a country's economy? on: July 03, 2019, 10:15:32 PM
Traffic. It is a very simple problem but it takes a lot of discipline and plannning to be solved. It affects greatly the economy of a country. Like in our country, the traffic here is very devastating. A 30 minute drive will take hours to travel because of heavy traffic. And it is not just caused by infrastructures. Most of the time, the traffic is caused by undisciplined drivers and commuters.


I think some of the people who are playing games. In our country, there are a lot of people that have their own android phones and just play online games all day out. That affects the economy since the unemployed is increasing. If we can tell this people to start finding a job, maybe a simple job for starters, I guess that would be a great help.

Esports is a thing now. Game casting, live streaming, pro esports players have large income. You cannot just simply categorize them as jobless if they can hone their skills and earn from it.
2410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I need some advice on setting up a crypto casino on: July 03, 2019, 09:25:37 PM
I think starting a crypto casino now is a tough business. There are already too many of them. Your casino should be truly unique in order to attract gamblers to play on your site. NO KYC, Fast and responsive support, Provably fair, Top Notch Security, Attractive UI should be a standard to all casinos.
One feature you can take advantage of is withdrawal fees. Most casinos have zero withdrawal fees but they still deduct tx fees. Maybe yours can eliminate that. Gamblers will be glad if they can withdraw their money without any fees at all, even tx fees.
2411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good news for bitcoin holders, after falling price now Bitcoin Surges above 12% on: July 03, 2019, 09:01:12 PM
I think it will find its base around $9000 plus before moving higher. Frankly speaking that movement upwards for few days was damn suspicious of manipulation. All in all the whales are playing their games.
It is not all manipulation. It is bound to happen. The sudden surge of price to 13K is a sign that it is ripe for profit-taking. The sudden dump is just a result of traders and holders taking their profit.

Corrections are not trends. Corrections are way more like chances to buy/sell the coins on a good price.
Alas not everyone here understands trend and correction. They see the price move at a certain direction for a few days and declares it a trend.
2412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 03, 2019, 02:40:05 PM

Without Kevin Durant, GSW still has the same core -- Curry, Thompson, Green. And now they have DLO Russell and Looney. Even without KD, they are still a superteam and very strong contender for next season.

i don't know what is D'Angelo Russel role in this Warrior team. PG? there's Curry. SG? Klay is onfire. so i think Russel will have a new role here.
and the other hand Nets have KD, kyrie and DA Jordan ! i guess KD will build a new dinasty in this team!
In my opinion, Curry plays better of the ball than being the point guard. So, DLO Russell can play point while Curry is the clutch shooter. Anyway, GSW is known to be a positionless team so anything can happen on their play.

<snip>
They would just simply focus into their previous teamwork before KD joined up the team.They prove their worth already and seeing it
once again would really be interesting but I doubt that it wont really be an easy path on next season yet superteams is already being formed along the
way.
We already saw a glimpse of their past plays during the finals against Toronto. Their rotation is still very impressive just like the time they had 73-9 record. I think we will see more of that rotation next season.
2413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Justin Bieber VS Steve-O - UFC Fight on: July 03, 2019, 12:44:02 AM
Who else he (Bieber) is going to fight with? Last time I heard he was challenging Tom Cruise LOL
Has he faced Cruise or yet to face before this fight with Steve?

Bieber say in public the fight with Cruise was a joke, Tom would never be part of a show like that, and now Steve-O says he wants to fight with the kiddo, we all would love to see his ass kicked by anyone, i don't care if it's Tom or Steve, i just want to see Bieber getting destroyed in the octagon  Grin
Common, do you really believe anyone's ass will be kicked if this fight pushed through? This is a celebrity fight, I do not believe real punches will be thrown in here. This is more like a publicity stunt than a real fight.
2414  Economy / Economics / Re: Can not believe 5 years ago you could of bought one whole bitcoin for this much! on: July 02, 2019, 11:50:33 PM
For $651~ you could of got yourself a shiny whole bitcoin on coinbase plus their $6.66 fee.
I wouldnt of mind paying this fee on top regardless.

I was introduced to bitcoin in 2015 and at the time, the price of bitcoin is just above $200. You could only imagine what could I have done if I knew that the price of bitcoin will grow this much in such a short period of time. Anyway, that is all in the past now. All we can do now is learn from it and act to it accordingly. So right now, I am hoarding as much as I can and hoping 2017 bull run can happen again in the future.
2415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: eCommerce Adoption? on: July 02, 2019, 11:36:56 PM
That is the sad truth. Currently, most users of bitcoin view it as an investment vehicle rather than a payment method. There could be a variety of reason to this but the most prominent is that bitcoin can be very valuable in a very short time. And, if you are a trader, bitcoin is more profitable to you by taking advantage of the huge fluctuation in price. Though the e-commerce use of bitcoin is important for its adoption, I think it will take a back seat until for at least a couple of years.

I do not know how Coinbase Commerce works but I hope the expense to keep accepting bitcoin as payment is not too big. I hope you can continue to accept bitcoin as payment.
2416  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people bought Bitcoin because of you? on: July 02, 2019, 10:11:00 PM
Does influencing someone to earn bitcoin and use platforms that are crypto base count? I have some friends who earn bitcoin now because of me. And some now chooses to make sports bet through sports book that uses bitcoin or altcoins.


I have tried to educate people about bitcoin but it seems most of them really don't believe in its survival even after a decade lol.

That is true to my experience as well. Even after seeing the price of bitcoin pumping to its ath and having multiple platforms that uses bitcoin and other crypto, they still does not see its value. Maybe they are just too afraid of new technologies.
2417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have any strategic way in playing poker? on: July 02, 2019, 05:19:10 PM
No there are casino platform that can have a poker game that one can play with other online poker player. Thus, letting them join in a table and enjoy playing poker with. I have been into this kind of platform and of course it is one of the best gambling plays that I learn.

Anyway, I am already seeing different responses and it made me having a great time reading reponses. Thank You!

Playing poker online just feels different than playing on a real casino. There are just strategies you cannot employ when you play with online players. One big factor would be, you cannot study any tell of a person. I normally study tells of a person to know if they hold bad or good hand, if they bluff or not. Sometimes you can get out of sticky situations or bluffs if you can see any signs from the gestures of your opponents.

Yeah that's interesting since both Leonard and LeBron have the same position. Anyways, LeBron also prove to be a point guard or even play multiple position.
In this era of positionless basketball, I do not think position is going to be a problem with them. If ever Kawhi signs up with Lakers, the only challenge will be for the couches to design the right play to make the most out of these three superstars. Anyway, I do not like this scenario because with these three together, the Lakers would be too dominant that NBA will be too predictable.

...but I really afraid for the future of GSW because of the most important player Kevin Durant transfer window nto the brooklyn nets
Without Kevin Durant, GSW still has the same core -- Curry, Thompson, Green. And now they have DLO Russell and Looney. Even without KD, they are still a superteam and very strong contender for next season.
2419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Every time I sell Bitcoin pumps... Has BTC been good or bad for You??? on: July 02, 2019, 01:15:34 AM
Am i just unlucky or does the bitcoin market follow my transaction history and only pump when I am out?Huh  
I think this happens to everyone because the price is unpredictable. I do not have regrets though because whenever I sell, I make sure the I am satisfied with my profit. Even if the price push higher, I am fine. I already bagged my profit. Or If I have to sell because of emergencies, I just shrug it off. It is a need and there is no controlling it. There will be other opportunities to invest or earn more.

I really just wish I never sold I would still have a broke dryer and .02...The price has went up so high that I now cannot afford to invest. My mother was just diagnosed with stage 4 COPD and Emphazema and was just put on Hospice home health. So I am currently unemployed taking care of her. Its a struggle everyday.. I seriously am starting to wonder if btc is just bad luck for me. I once owned 3 BTC when an (unnamed website was shut down) I lost it all and since that day. Have never made it back.. I am now a proud owner of around 850 satoshis... ( so any ideas on how I can earn a little simple btc would be appreciated)...
The Law of Attraction is the attractive, magnetic power of the Universe that draws similar energies together.  -- https://www.successconsciousness.com/law-of-attraction-definitions.htm
You are focusing too much on the negative things happening to you that you are attracting more negative energies. What you should do instead is focus on the bright side. You had 0.02 before, you can earn more. You sold it at about $7000 yet a few months ago the price was below $4000. That is still profits to me. You may not believe in this but it's worth a try. Just a change of perspective.

I think all BTC has ever done for me is gotten my funds stolen multiple times lol. But man do I love it.
If your funds are stolen multiple times, you should really reconsider how you are keeping your bitcoins. Keeping your bitcoin safe is the utmost priority because it will all be for nothing if you can't keep them safe.
2420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: July 01, 2019, 09:51:08 PM

Highest bet I have seen is more than $1K, that money is huge already here.

... but Philippines is pro Pacman so I don't think it's easy to find a gambler that would accept your bet ...

When he was at his peak, there is no one in the Philippines willing to bet against him. But recently, there are some who are willing to bet and ready to place a large amount against Pacquiao.

Right, I would rather go with sportsbookies to place my bet on Manny in this fight.
I wouldn't risk big money like that in the streets, I'm not saying it's bad, but for me anything can happen so no, I would not go on that route.
Maybe on other places, but here in the Philippines, it is just normal to bet on the streets whenever there are big events on sports like NBA Championship series or MMA or boxing bouts. The bets are made in groups so the pot normally becomes really large very fast.
