New York Times is reporting a quote from Giannis Antetokounmpo where he alludes to signing with a new team for the first time ever. Definitely trouble for the Bucks. He’s going to play for them this year, but to me it sounds like he’s preparing them for a departure after the season. If he goes to the Warriors and pairs with Curry, it will be the greatest team ever built.

How does that justify YOUR behavior?

If I had done something wrong I would have to justify my behaviour.  Aside from vague posturing, you haven't stated exactly what it is I should be justifying.  Yes, I have a signature for a mixer, so what?  I believe privacy is a fundamental right and I will support that right wherever I deem it appropriate to do so. 

There's no "story" here.  You pocketed airdrops from coins that did not belong to you.  You're damn lucky theymos didn't particularly care about those assets.  Personally, I'd have had you charged with theft if this were my forum.  So get off your damn high horse and learn to live with the fact that some of us think you're scum.  You brought it upon yourself, so don't cry to us about it.

You are promoting money laundering. If the organization you are promoting does any real volume, they will be closed down and their founders arrested. That is what you’re promoting.

As for your accusations, I did nothing wrong. I can use my private keys however I want and I lived up to my end of the treasury agreement perfectly. The person who didn’t was theymos, who went years without paying me and then didn’t compensate me for the forked coins I missed out on while I gave him the forked coins I didn’t have to according to our agreement, but who cares about reality right?
2503  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I buy BNB now? on: August 24, 2023, 06:09:04 PM
The only reasons to buy BNB now is if you want to help keep Binance from going under, or you want to help stop Bitcoin’s decrease in value by helping Binance keep BNB’s price afloat so they stop dumping (possibly customer owned) Bitcoin on the market. If you’re investing in BTC for profit, the odds are rather high that you will lose all your money, so be aware of the risk you’re taking on.

Sorry it took so long.

Nice video. It’s always funny seeing users from here mentioned in a YouTube video. I can’t say I’m all that interested in the Bitcointalk awards, but I wouldn’t have had any idea who the winners were without watching this, so thank you. I always enjoy your videos and hope to see them more frequently in the future.

Another USA money laundering charge against a mixer.

Now Bitcointalk is a USA based website

and I still see many ads for mixers on the website.

So from me a former I.R.S. employee

if you are a U.S.A. based person avoid mixers.

As they paint a target on your back.

I can not make it any clearer than this. I would if I knew how but I hope that this is clear enough.

Thank you for having the balls to even post this philipma. I’ll co-sign it so the trolls can target me instead, but your opinion is clearly that of common sense. I’m sure it’s how a vast majority of this forum feels as well, but retaliation here is real and most people don’t want to be involved in the drama. Especially when those defending money laundering here are paid well to do so, while average users are not. It just isn’t worth the fight. Luckily, I love sticking my dick in the hornet’s nest.
2506  Other / Meta / Re: We can not discuss if 'ChipMixer is a honeypot or not' outside their own thread? on: August 24, 2023, 05:07:14 PM
That’s called corruption in the real world. Here they call it decentralization. I call it lazy management.

The needle on your moral compass is influenced pretty heavily by all of that hot air coming out of your mouth, isn't it?  

Misappropriation of forum funds?  Og claims not corruption.
Calling out OgNasty on his bullshit?  Og claims corruption.

Yeah, that makes total sense.   Roll Eyes

I never misappropriated forum funds. That’s ridiculous. The blockchain exists for a reason and you can clearly look and see at the public address I held the funds that they were never touched. This is exactly what I’m talking about. People make up stories and then others believe it without doing any research because the corrupt people spouting lies are assumed to be honest. They aren’t. They’re compromised corrupt individuals that would risk taking down this entire forum to promote money laundering here for money. No need to cast lies at me to deflect from their bad behavior.

No surprise that you’re advertising money laundering in your signature… As are others defending their illegal advertising on this thread by taking shots at me. Why deflect? How does that justify YOUR behavior?
2507  Other / Off-topic / Re: Meta breaks privacy rules... AGAIN on: August 24, 2023, 05:03:18 PM
Obviously farming your data is what Meta does. It’s been said a million times that Facebook uses the user as the product. Even if Facebook wasn’t the one stealing your data, they’re surely collecting it and that means there’s the chance someone else can hack that information. I’m not sure what the solution is in a time when people no longer value their privacy, so I guess the best thing to do is probably just not participate.
2508  Economy / Speculation / Re: Challenging the lows, 25.5k and lower possible break here on: August 24, 2023, 04:55:23 PM
Zooming out on the chart and not being familiar with the causes for the previous dumps, I would say it looks like a visit to $16K is in the books for the future. I think that’s what is scaring away buyers at the moment. However, I don’t think that’s true, but I wouldn’t want to be a trader right now. For long term holders though, this should be viewed as a good time for dollar cost averaging.
2509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 24, 2023, 04:53:09 PM
^ I have my doubts that Zion will ever be able to play a full 82 game season. He’s just too big to be a professional basketball player. The speed and strength of this guy almost ensures an injury. Healthy, he’s the most dominant player the NBA has seen since Shaq, and more athletic than a young LeBron.
Well, we might truly see a repetition of what has happened to him for several seasons having an injury. But boy, I've seen the recent photos of him and he's got more buff. I guess it's time for him to invest in how to maintain his body but not compromise his performance just as Lebron takes care of his body.

If they did figure out how to keep him healthy for the rest of his career, he would no doubt be one of the best to ever do it.
This is without any doubt. We do recognize how good and full package he is.

He truly is a destructive power in the center which makes him even more dangerous, and he can be a menace at times too. It's just unfortunate that he cannot play that much in the league in the past few seasons that he's been in because of the injuries that he acquired that seems not going away from him. And to make things worse, he keeps on getting a season threatening injury when the season is approaching its end, meaning the team badly needs him during those times but he cannot do anything but to see in the sidelines cheering for his team.

I think the last two seasons in a row he was pretty much healed as the playoffs rolled around. Both times he chose not to play. I think probably 95% of players in his position would’ve chose to play the end of both those seasons, but not Zion. He doesn’t have that Mamba Mentality. He’s a beast though and it’s a good thing he’s being careful. Maybe he’ll figure out the injury stuff this year. We’ll see.
2510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much it cost to most ALL internet with your casino advertisement? $6.2m/d on: August 24, 2023, 04:50:36 PM
I wonder how much it would cost for partnering with streamers on Kick to promote a gambling platform. They get certain contracts from what I understand but I'm not sure if casinos or igaming are allowed to deal with them directly since Kick is basically run by the owner of Stake.

Kick is the rival of Twitch in case you didn't know. A lot of streamers migrated there when they were banned on Twitch.

It probably depends on the streamer. I’m sure people with below 10 viewers would probably promote whatever you wanted them to for the cost of a $5 subscription. Im not sure you’d get much with your advertisement though. The big boys with thousands of viewers would probably charge you 5 figures just for a shoutout…

Just take a look at Elon sitting in the production model of the Cybertruck.



It’s pretty cool to think this will be his daily driver vehicle. The richest man in the world driving the same vehicle as us mere mortals. I wonder how much longer it will be before we can select options and all that. I’m curious if solar panels will be offered or how much the CyberQuad will cost.
2512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 24, 2023, 08:44:47 AM
They may try load management just like what the Clippers is doing with Kawhi, but again there's no escaping injuries once it hit you.
New Orleans fans are getting restless, he needs to be better this season.
The best thing to do if they want to limit the possibility of Zion getting injured again is to take that load management thing. If the Raptors were successful with the load management they applied to Leonard, I see no reason why the Pelicans wouldn't be able to do the same. The good thing about the Pelicans is that even without Zion, they can still make the playoffs. This is a relief, as they can choose to let Zion focus on the playoffs.

However, fans might not like this load management approach, as they come to see their favorite players on the court. Zion is the team's best player, so it might disappoint some fans. Nevertheless, business is business, and the team needs to focus on what's best for the overall team.

That's the downside, as fans often complain about load management. Some buy tickets well in advance, yet they might not know if a specific player will participate due to announcements being made as little as 24 hours before the game or even at game time. However, if we are following NBA, we would know that it exist, so as long as the NBA doesn't implement rules regarding this, teams are within their rights to utilize load management to safeguard the health of their players, particularly those prone to injury.

I think the problem is that players have gotten so much bigger and stronger over the years that injuries are just more likely. The obvious solution would be to have less games but that would mean less money and a nightmare for career stats. That’s why I understand load management. Players like Kobe or LeBron who are going for their legacy will always be out there if they can.
2513  Economy / Goods / Re: ~ Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN ~ on: August 24, 2023, 03:06:58 AM
Tesla’s site now lists the option to redeem tickets for the Cybertruck delivery event in Austin, Texas. In order to qualify you must have 30,000 credits, which is equal to three Tesla referrals. Unfortunately, I haven’t referred 3 people to buy Teslas so I won’t be able to attend. A shame as I would have loved to been there. Anybody want to buy 3 Teslas?

I’ve seen reports both ways as to whether or not Conor McGregor will be fighting in December. Anyone know if that’s going to happen or not? It seems a little bit more unlikely by the day to me as Conor seems to currently be focusing on the bogus boxing matchup between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul.
2515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Personal favorite on: August 24, 2023, 03:01:11 AM
This is a very odd advertisement for a gambling site with a questionable reputation. It makes you wonder why anyone would post it. Is this an outright scam? What made OP come here and post this thread? It should be disclosed if they have an ownership stake or were paid to post this as I can find no other logical reason for it existing.

Agreed, his body build isn't meant for the way he plays the game.  He is a slasher with high impact dunking.  The rigors of the entire nba season will always hinder his ability to play consistently.  Shame because when he does play he is amazing to watch.  Loved watching him play at Duke when rj was all the rage theor freshman season.

I used to get frustrated watching him play at Duke because RJ was always the number one option and the guy who would take “the shot” at the end of games, but he was a choke artist. When Zion had opportunities he definitely delivered. Those videos of him dunking from the free throw line at Duke in practice are insane.
2517  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: vave.com - is a rasists on: August 23, 2023, 10:17:04 PM
First off, it’s spelled racist. It’s hard to take everything else you say seriously when the subject has a misspelling in the allegation. The terms having an extra clause for the English reading players to me might not be nefarious, but a lack of business resources. Maybe their lawyer gave them that to include in English, but they haven’t hired translators to get it added in other languages also.

I think everything affects the odds to some degree (I don’t think affect is the right word here). Even if momentarily, you’d think every bet placed for any reason has an effect on the marketplace or betting odds. People can place bets for any reason. Maybe their star player is getting divorced or they saw them buying cold medicine in the news. Who know? Theoretically though, any and everything will effect the odds.

Their report is that the plane carrying the Russian mercenary chief was shot down, which I believe the video shows. It is pretty crazy to me that this still happens in this day and age. I can’t remember global politics ever being this big of a shit show.
