2421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Vitalik Buterin Dumps $578K in MakerDAO Tokens on: September 05, 2023, 09:45:40 PM
Vitalik has been dumping tokens and moving ETH around rather publicly lately. Makes me wonder if this is just him protecting against a possible failure of the Binance exchange or if he’s just moving his finances around for other reasons. Who knows, maybe this is him preparing for retirement.
2422  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mempool reaches 600K transactions on: September 05, 2023, 09:43:45 PM
I didn’t realize the mempool was on the creep again but from looking at the data it does appear to be mostly very low fee transactions, so it isn’t stopping much real volume from hitting the blockchain. I actually don’t see anything wrong with transactions waiting to be included on the chain and miners should be happy that they have a backlog of revenue.

It feels like we’re back to stable prices as someone puts down a net to capture all the fleeing BTC from the wallets of the lettuce-handed. I would strongly advise against selling any BTC here and I also believe we’re about a month or two away from the market breaking out to the upside on a run for $40K to close out the year.

I saw TMZ reporting over the holiday weekend that Draymond Green slapped a bartender at a Los Angeles restaurant after the bartender had some nasty comments to say to LeBron James. This resulted in Draymond being arrested (allegedly?). I haven’t seen this making the news rounds so maybe it isn’t true? If it is true, I wonder if Draymond will be starting the year suspended.
2425  Economy / Speculation / Re: Impact of bitcoin price speculations on individual bitcoin holding on: September 04, 2023, 10:35:13 PM
Absolutely nothing stops my DCA accumulation. I am not trying to time the market and definitely don’t trade, even though it would have historically been extremely profitable to do so. Price speculation is mostly for fun and to keep a handle on the goings on in the market so that you can recognize multi-year peaks and valleys.
2426  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: September 04, 2023, 05:19:18 PM
Watcher.guru is reporting that Stake was hacked for $41,300,000 worth of crypto. Is this true? Will it have any effect on operations or is 40 million dollars chump change? Hopefully this won’t have any effect on growth plans for Kick. That’s a pretty big loss, but I’m assuming Stake has the money to cover it at this time.

2427  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could Bitcoin potentially serve as a safe haven in the upcoming economic crisis on: September 04, 2023, 08:17:46 AM
There is no safe place when a crisis occurs, many people think too much about Bitcoin, what we must understand is the concept of decentralization such as bitcoin of course also prone to drop when inflation occurs, it is better to save large amounts of assets in trusted commodities such as gold, Land and so on, and making cryptocurrencies is an alternative investment so that it does not make us panic when a bear market occurs.

You had me with the first line but I don’t think gold will be a very effective hedge in a major market collapse either. The good news is that I don’t think a major crash is in the cards because banks have inflation keeping their assets afloat at the moment and that may last long enough to kick the can down the road on this whole economic crash thing.
2428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 03, 2023, 11:35:51 PM

He's not a good player to trade for Giannis. There's no question that Davis is talented, but it's a big gamble for the Bucks to accept Davis because he's known to be injury-prone. While we're not hoping he will get injured, history has shown that he has been plagued by injuries most of the time. This is also the reason he was traded to the Lakers from the Pelicans.

I don't know if this is right but if Giannis really wanted to be traded then that's the only way if they can get some good offer from the Lakers if the other teams cannot give them more players for Giannis and some good offers specifically for him. nevertheless, if the players wanted to get out from the team, the team like the 76ers would have nothing to do but accept their request since they might not want to play intensively anymore for that team.

Nothing will happen to them if they push a player to play with them if he's not for the team anymore. But I believe Giannis case is different since he just like his team to be more competent and will not rely on current situations or asset that they have. This is a good move made by him since he might know if Bucks do something to win another championship again and if they want to retain him .

I don’t think the Bucks will trade him. They have to get every game out of him they can before they fade back into irrelevance. Giannis doesn’t want to be traded either. He wants to run out his contract and then sign with a major contender to create a super team. I think Golden State makes all the sense in the world, or maybe the Lakers if they were able to dump AD or something happens to Bron.
2429  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 03, 2023, 10:26:42 AM
I think there’s a very strong chance that we still end the year around $40,000. I think that a 4th quarter rally could kick off in October and send the market >50% higher before year’s end. This would mirror action that we saw in 2015, which I think may be a good indicator for where we are headed given the similarities in position in the 4-year cycle. Strong buy!
2430  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Why don't Bitcoiners care about using there mining to advance science? on: September 03, 2023, 01:40:54 AM
Harnessing mining power for other uses is something that has evaded people mostly. I’m sure if it were easily doable, we would all be mining to help whatever scientific cause is available. I suspect that merged mining could enable someone to build a solution to this problem, but so far I’ve seen nothing moving in that direction.
2431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A typical weekend in sport betting-Why do gamblers still do sport bets? on: September 02, 2023, 10:31:14 PM
I feel like sports bets are the only bets where you can be sure that everything is on the up and up. It’s honestly the only betting I do with any level of seriousness. I like being able to use my knowledge of sports to try and beat the odds, plus you get to watch more sports. Why wouldn’t someone want to bet on sporting events?
2432  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake phishing on: September 02, 2023, 10:29:26 PM
So you’re saying someone hacked your account and won you $2,000 but then decided not to cash out? If you have 2fa on withdrawals I would say that definitely saved you, and it sounds like you made money and admit you got fished so I’m not sure why you say Stake owes you something. The whole story sounds made up to be honest.
2433  Economy / Speculation / Re: take advantage of opportunities on: September 02, 2023, 04:54:35 PM
This is the optimist view of the market and the best way to buy low and sell high. Instead of being sad that Bitcoin has been down from its highs, you have to see it as an opportunity to get your hands on more sats easier than it would be at higher prices. Don’t be the guy sitting on the sidelines to FOMO buy when we hit six figures.
2434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 02, 2023, 04:52:19 PM
Steve Kerr is stirring the pot by saying that he would love to coach Giannis, saying he’s not only a great player but also a great person. I think that’s probably as much as he can say without getting fined for tampering, but it’s pretty clear that Golden State is going to do everything they can to try and sign Giannis when the time comes.
Yeah, it will be a limited statement, or else the NBA will be on his tail.  Cheesy
Signing Giannis to the Golden State Warriors will probably cost them a lot of good players. Wiggins, and maybe even Klay or Draymond. But if the Bucks are interested they could take CP3 which means a great deal of money that will be released to their salary cap and they get someone that will be worth the price, no disrespect to CP3.
But it all sums down to what the Bucks will need. Giannis is one of the top of the league so I don't think they are just going to let him go. I am more sure that he will make him the face of their franchise.
I've seen some rumors regarding Jrue Holiday trade too but the source is not that convincing so I think it's just a rumor that will die quickly.

Yes, that's what I'm seeing as well, if Klay don't play well in the upcoming season, then I think he will be in the trading block. And if Giannis shows intention of joining, then maybe throw in Wiggins + future draft picks.

Not sure about Draymond though, he is the bedrock of the Warriors so I don't see the management letting go of him. And he just sign a good contract, so he could be out of the equation.

That really might be the case, there is a chance that Klay Thompson will be delivered for the trade along with a few first rounders instead of Draymond as it's always Klay who is somehow not consistent enough compared to Draymond who is always a defensive machine in the perimeter.

The team knows that he is already old and yet they still gave him what he asked because he never failed the team, and next season, it's Klay's time to show if he's still the right man for the job and until then, the Warriors will weigh the things if he still deserves to be given an extension.

As Klay ages his defense is going to struggle and I think a trade to a team like the Lakers where he could be a spot shooter and nothing else would be good for him and the Warriors. Draymond just needs to be released… Giannis will do his role better than him anyway. I don’t think Klay to the Lakers is likely, but they are pursuing Trae Young for this season to try and meet their shooting demands.
2435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: September 02, 2023, 04:49:20 PM
Where I live betting on horse racing is probably the most widely accepted form of gambling. There are places everywhere like bars that have betting on horse racing available right there. There’s no need for a casino or to have to jump online and find a way to gamble. I imagine that is part of the reason that betting on horse racing isn’t as popular online.
2436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rant: Casinos should hire people who knows about what they do on: September 02, 2023, 02:16:33 AM
I think the hiring process for traditional casinos is prettt intense to make sure that they get trustworthy and competent help. With online casinos they probably mostly look for people who are available and work cheap, as they don’t have to trust them as much as physical casino employees, so it’s likely that they aren’t hiring the best help money can find.
2437  Other / Off-topic / Re: money before Romance on: September 02, 2023, 02:13:14 AM
I can’t say I see a lot of correlation between money and romance. Usually it seems like the opposite. Men with a ton of money are typically obsessed with their work or investments and don’t show women the proper attention, whereas broke guys who spend their days and nights chasing women typically seem to do pretty well regardless of their net worth.
2438  Economy / Goods / Re: ~ Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN ~ on: September 02, 2023, 02:10:20 AM
First video I’ve seen of the Cybertruck hailing a trailer. Check it out on X (twitter):
https://x.com/omg_tesla/status/1697778917573275898

You can really judge too much from a video of a Cybertruck flying by hauling a trailer, but it does appear to be casually pulling the trailer, likely for some sort of range test while pulling a load.

It’s a gift for those stacking BTC. My advice would be to grab as much BTC as you can between now and Halloween. I suspect by then the market will be sitting on a powder keg playing with matches. Those who sell now are going to be very happy in the short term and then very sad a year from now. Don’t be sad.
2440  Economy / Goods / Re: AirBNB in Las Vegas, NV : Crypto Accepted : 👍👎❤️🎉🤩😱 on: September 01, 2023, 09:05:47 PM
Nice.  A 20% discount puts it around $120 a night.  Not a bad price at all, especially for the amount of rooms.  I didn't look too much into the location and the yard isn't going to host a rager, but still cool to think that you can get a house in Vegas for the night for some sats.  Thanks for posting this here.  If I'm ever in need of a place to stay in Vegas for the night I'll try to remember to keep you in mind.  Would be great if you could list that Bitcoin was accepted on AirBNB.
