I have around 2.1k in btc rn and was wondering if I should sell it and invest in a couple of altcoin projects, would that be a good idea? I know Bitcoin will never ever do another 5x in the near future haha so that's kind of why I would wanna sell. The market cap of btc would have to reach a very high amount for it to be life-changing money to me.
I would never sell all your bitcoin for altcoins. It's has always been a good thing to have bitcoin in your portfolio. Yeah 5x might not be lifechamging but what's stopping you from continuing to add to.your stack. Keep on adding more fiat when possible. Then big moves in the market make a difference. Either way if that's what you have I wouldn't gamble it all on low cap.flyer type coins if you are going to do that. Too much downside risk at least for me. |

While in the Western Conference.  Those above Houston Rockets should be careful. They are swimming back up and they are now on their 3rd winning streak. It should've been 6th but the Clippers stopped them once. Sadly, Alperen Sengun is out for the season. Let's see if Jabari Smith and Fred VanVleet could still scare those above them.  It's unlikely that the Rockets can reach the play-in zone in the standings and displace any of the mentioned teams. By the way, the Rockets have only 17 games left in the regular season, and the problem is that they are quite a bit behind the Warriors in terms of win percentage. Can the Rockets win at least 14 of their remaining 17 games to really compete for the last play-in spot? I doubt it. Seems like a long shot for them that's a lot of games with this amount of time to go. To rip off a 14-3 finish and jump someone else seems unlikely. What I want to see happen as a kmicks fan is a serious run at the 3 hole. Landing a series against the Magic wouldn't be bad but I'd hate to see them immediately have to go to Boston. Boston is serious this year. |

Laid off for a second. Back at it with 3 games tonight. Need a clean sweep to pick up some losses from last week.
Game 1: Bucks-7.5. I just don't think the sixers without embid can keep up here.
Game 2: Knicks-11.5. With OG back on the squad the defense picked back up and kept the sixers under 80. Think this is like a 110-92 type of game.
Game 3: Clippers -6.5. One of those hunch plays. I like the clips and how they play. The spread doesn't seem like much to get over. Figure they will be up late 5/6 points and free throw their way into a 9 to 10 point win.
Enjoy the game and good luck everyone!

You wake up from a one-day coma and decide to check on your favorite franchise, ah shit, you can't recognize your team's roster anymore. Lol It's crazy how many moves have taken place in the last 24 hours. It might be the first day since the Super Bowl that i've actually missed football. Some quick/early thoughts on a few of the signings: Saquon Barkley to the Eagles. For some reason, i don't like it, i think it is more or less a lateral move. Swift can do almost everything Saquon does but for less money, and Barkley has a history of injuries. Eagles had more pressing issues to address than adding a new RB. For example, their defense, terrible secondary play, and some of the worst tackling i've ever seen...why not fix that? Christian Wilkins, the Dolphins DT to the Raiders. He and Maxx Crosby on the same dline look scary. I like how the Raiders rallied around their interim head coach to turn things around late in the season. Losing Josh Jacobs is huge, but i suppose you can't have everything. The Vikings' QB room looks bleak now that Cousins has moved to Atlanta. Darnold, Mullens, Dobbs, and Hall, i mean who do you start? Not ideal for J. Jefferson dynasty managers. edit;HELL YEAH!!! source: https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1767592082569351662The King is on the move. Sources say the #Ravens are expected to land #Titans star RB Derrick Henry. After attempting to trade for him a few times, Baltimore signs him now. 👑
Henry gets a 2-year, $16M deal worth up to $20M with $9M guaranteed. Not only is that bad for fantasy managers but Jefferson proclaimed that he loved playing with cousins. Did ypu just piss him off enough to split town when he becomes a free agent. Minnesota better figure out theor immediate plan forward or they might slide into a complete new rebuilding. If they are I'd trade jettas for some crazy draft capital right now. Trading to a fringe contender could net some good draft capital. I'm starting to wonder at this point whether it makes any sense keeping what many would argue is the best wide receiver in the league (I don't believe this, but he certainly makes my top 3-5). He's too good to rot away behind some half-ass QB, and as of right now, that's exactly what the Vikings have, half ass QBs. I do wonder if they have any interest in Justin Fields. I guess I'm trying to squeeze Fields in somewhere, I expected his market to be much more robust. I think this lack of market says a lot for Fields and why moving on from him makes sense. He's just not that good. Fields might be a good spot for him actually. Has someone ready made to help him along. Does jettas want to be with a primarily running qb. I've seen a lot of recent mocks that have Minnesota trading picks with chargers to jump to the 5 hole and drwft McCarthy. Makes zero sense to keep JJ if that's the case. Trade JJ for draft capital if that's the case and draft that boy some protection or beef up the defense. For me McCarthy is gonna take a hot second to get his feet wet, doesn't seem like his game will transition easy to sundays. |

Ypu would be surprised but this happens more often than people would expect. A lot of people feel stuck together and once financially free they split. The biggest issue that they don't realize is lawyers are going going to suck a lot of this up. With money comes good lawyers. Amd good lawyers are expensive. Shame really but I guess in the end it's better than being stuck with someone you don't care to be around.

I know people get all.greedy and want those insta returns. I just don't see how meme coins can continually go up. Meaning someone has to be left holding the bag. For me it's way riskier than just hiding bitcoin knowing bitcoin continues to just keep breaking new highs and the downside risk is so little at this point. Good luck on your venture but be careful not to lose your stack.

We are getting closer to the end of the season and there are two main reasons why players end up closing the season out. First of all, when you get injured and you can reach for the last 5 games, just sit those out too and relax, why rush these players back, there is no reason why they need to be back.
If you are a playoff team and you could get them then maybe you could and that may look better, but at the time Houston is not, Atlanta is not neither so they could just rest their players. Secondly, the fatigue plays a big role, a lot of players already played so many games, and so many minutes and if they didn2t get any rest in the middle from some small injury for example, then their body may not handle the load.
If you are the coach of fringe teams they aren't resting players. The reason is if you can backdoor your way into the playoffs and win a series that could net you some extra time as coach and gm. Nobody just lays down because every year your job is dependent on winning unless you are a team so far out like Detroit. But teams in the 8-10 hole or even 11 spot are gonna play everyone til the end. |

That all depends on your goal. For me I like to bet for entertainment so while yes the odds can be 50/50 (most likely not with house edge) the object for me is more entertainment amd not so much all in it for the possible doubling of my money. The output in some cases is that I win and have fun. Other times I lose but still graded some entertainment value out of losing. So yeah for me when I do gamble it's worth it.

I don't understand why anyone would do that. On one hand you win great right? But what are you really going to get with that money that makes the risk worth it. The other side you lose everything you've worked your entire life for. This just doesn't seem like it makes sense. More tangible things to be able to buy does not male up for a lifetime of blood sweat and tears. No thank you.

I don't think gambling everyday leads to a healthy lifestyle. Taking time off to enjoy other things without the pressure of feeling like you are missing out on a big win is huge. It's important in everything you do to diversify and spend your time doing many things. It actually makes abling lore enjoyable when you do get time to.

If you’re a dedicated crypto guy then you should always be buying, when you’re able to. Now is still a great time to add to your holdings. We are not even at the Bitcoin halving yet & traditionally the price of Bitcoin & most good altcoins rise exponentially after the halving so keep buying whilst you can get cheaper coins.
Agreed. Continuing to dollar cost average and buy and you would be in profit at least for bitcoin. But there is plenty of money to be made on alts if you know what you are doing. I wouldn't recommend a large portion of your stack in alts but definitely worth putting some there. Having an exit plan and sticking to it is important as well otherwise ypu get stuck holding a bag. |

Bank investors have more certainty because there capital is completely safe but they give 8-10% annual profits to the investors of per year. But it is comparatively less in terms of profits.
On the other hand you will get constant profits from crypto as if you are experienced in trading then daily profits is possible. Otherwise you can get profits by investing. However crypto investment puts your capital at greater risk (main point).
There is no right answer. Just by the very nature of where you are asking you probably will get everyone answering altcoins and not banks. But really you need to figure out what you want that capital for. If you are saving for a house for you family amd about to buy a house in a year or 2 you might not want to risk the chance of losing that money. Or maybe it's for retirement 30 years from now and you can recover the losses over time. Then you might want to take the risk. Basically each person has to do theor own risk assesment. |

The only 2 choices will be Biden and trump I don't know why anyone would drop bets on other people. Third party has been unsuccessful for centuries lol. Kind of shocked trump has better odds than Joey B. Can't bet on this one no clue how the outcome will be and have no vested interest in hoping one way or another on this based on a bet.

Peanuts to Drake. He is a known high rolling gambler. I was shocked too how well Joshua fought considering Ngannou's first professional boxing match went. Don't kmwo if he had an off night or Joshua had a great night. Either way that's like noelrmal people losing $100 on the match lol.

As a giants fan this sucks! Now I have to watch saquon run all over the giants twice a year. I figured he would go to Philly if they offered, he was a Philly guy. Can't blame him since the giants refused to give him a long term contract. In other news the giants signed their long snapper to a new contract, whoo hoo. Seriously it's important since they will be punting and kicking field goals most of the season  |

Right now the markets are rising in our favours. Too bad the worlds markets are in FIAT.
Right now i wish to pay off some credit card debts i have. All in FIAT of course and yes i know i will have to pay tax on the capital gains.
Would i be making an ok choice to sell off some ETH right now to CAD to pay some debt off. as where markets are im in the position.
just wondering on the tax i have to pay, would i be paying more tax then what i will be writing off in credit card debt? thanks
Although I think crypto gains will outweigh the possible % you are paying on that debt it's never a bad idea to pay off debt when you can. Paying off debt has mental health benefits that can far outweigh any possible crypto gains you might achieve. There's a chance crypto goes down so it's your decision but good luck either way. |

2-1 my last set of bets so back on the up and up.
Tonight it's 3 more games.
I like the look of the Knicks and playing Philly without embid I see the Knicks taking this one down favored at -7.5. Next game I like the Pacers +1.5. Orlando is home and was a tough pick but I think Hali matches up well here and controls the game. Pacers win by a small margin. And last game I like kings at home -6.5 against Houston. Again I like the matchups and think this one is a blowout type game with kings winning by 10-15 points.
Good luck and enjoy the games!

Curry coming back is of course a great detail, and looking at the standings right now, it would be highly unlikely that they would fall places, they will finish the season 10th most likely right now, Rockets are not getting that back.
However, while looking at it I just realized Rockets are not tanking and looking like they could be in the playoffs or at least play-in very soon, in 1-2 years they should be good enough for that. They need the players to stop trying to show their worth, they proved that, when you are a young player you try to showboat and just take all the shots to show your coach and the whole league that you deserve to be there, but most of them been there for 3 years now, so they need to just calm down and play within a system.
Rockets have a good base and who knows what happens in 1-2 years. Theor trajectory is upwards and I like some of theor young players. Just like with any young team they need one or 2 of theor young guys to hit and get on an all star level of play and then they will be fine. Add in one or 2 hits in free agency and then you got yourself a contending team. Golden state is in trouble anytime steph goes down. He is the heart and soul of that team. No steph no playoffs period. |

I don't see it this way. When one of my family or friends wins something big I am genuinely happy for them. Generally speaking anything that makes them happy in life should make you happy no? I mean not over the top or as happy as it makes the person themselves but why wouldn't ypu be happy for them. Yeah I agree if in a casino and someone you don't know wins big I don't think much is to be expected in terms of being happy for that person.
