Jake Paul is saying that Nate Diaz has accepted his offer to fight a MMA style rematch after this fight. That seems a little strange since this fight hasn’t happened yet, but I get the feeling they both know Jake is going to win. Maybe Nate getting beat up is part of the deal for him to get his $10 million to choke Jake out in the octagon.

Indeed, it is all just in good fun. I’m not trying to start a movement or anything. I did a quick search to see if there were funny promotional style flyers like the one in the Simpsons cartoon shown, but couldn’t find any. I figured maybe some folks might try their hand at a flyer design for our amusement if they had the time.

TRON seemed like a cash grab that worked out so well for Justin Sun that he ended up trying to turn it into a legitimate project. The whole thing seems illegal to me with TRON owning Napster or whatever it was that he did. I think the danger with investing in TRON is a total loss if Justin Sun is found to have broken laws and the upside doesn’t warrant the risk.

I’m sure there are casinos that would take that x10,000 bet, but you’re right that there are no for sure gambling methods. The longer you play, the more likely it is that you will go broke. Methods like this seem like they’re great and will always win you money, but when it turns on you it will bankrupt you as stated. There are no free rides.

Brian Windhorst came out and said that no other teams outside of Miami have come forward to seriously make a trade offer for Damian Lillard. I’m not sure if it’s his contract, his age, or other teams are just trying to respect his wishes to end up in Miami, but it’s starting to look like Lillard might be a Trailblazer next season. I’m not sure how good that will be for his reputation if he’s disgruntled after being labeled as the most loyal player in the NBA.

I saw this cartoon and thought it was pretty funny. It had me wondering if a real flyer like this existed that people could print out and put up in places. I’ve seen threads about stickers, so I’m sure there must be a thread with printable promotional material. Anybody got a link or maybe someone wants to help create cool printable stuff like this (talking about the flyer in the cartoon, not the cartoon itself).

Owning nearly $30,000 worth of Bitcoin at the age of 18 is pretty impressive. I don’t believe I had that much money saved at that age. While you are setting yourself up great, I think it’s important that you should also try to remain debt free while diversifying in an income generating equities portfolio. If you can manage to grow your assets and stay away from debt you will be extremely wealthy in the future.

I am also in the wishful thinking camp. It always gets a little scary at the bottom of the trading range though. The market has sure felt like it’s been drifting lower lately and during a time when funds and microstrategy have been aggressively buying. I think that shows signs that the retail investor is starting to be effected by the economy’s slowdown.

I thought I saw that he actually denied the government said this and instead claimed it was a rumor. I guess I will have to take a look at his twitter account and clarify that for myself. I did also see that he said Coinbase was going to implement the Lightning Network. Considering how he seemingly always felt it was garbage, I could see that his company being faced with possibly only have Bitcoin trading could result in him extending an olive branch to the Bitcoin community.

What do you guys think about this Bradley Beal story? Has he lost a step and this should be a concern for the Phoenix Suns? Is this a wake up call that he needs to get back in the lab and do some work if he wants to be successful next year? Maybe Bradley Beal had an off day or this kid is just the next big thing? Interesting story no matter what.

^ Besides being difficult to compare, I’m not so sure it’s even a true statement over a long enough time frame. Bitcoin has gone from nothing to being worth nearly a trillion dollars in just over a decade. Gambling has been around much longer and surely hasn’t kept up with the infinite growth of Bitcoin in the last 15 years. It is a question of metrics.

Why as an adult he feels he should tell his parents is the real question. Is it a my house my rules type of situation? If so, I would think this win is more than enough for him to get his own place and start getting his life together. $46K would get him a couple years on his own and hopefully he could find a job and stop being a freeloader. I promise you his parents won’t be upset.

I think that’s a good take and we will likely see a new all time high in 2025. Bitcoin does have a major test in front of it though. It has never seen a real recession and the fed seems hell bent on causing one to stop inflation. If it gets bad then people and companies might have to capitulate. However, if that doesn’t happen I think over $100K in 2025 is almost a certainty.

They are relentless buyers. Saylor has basically turned his company into the first Bitcoin spot ETF. As for how he’s using Bitcoin to enhance his business services and products… I don’t think he is yet. He’s using Bitcoin holdings to increase the value of his company and allow for creative financing to purchase more BTC, thus increasing the value of his company more.

RFK Jr seems like a man on a mission. I wouldn’t mind seeing him run in 2028. He seems like he’s out for revenge for his family. I think he’s right to be worried for his safety as well. His recent comments about the JFK files being illegally suppressed along with his hatred of the CIA has got to have him on some bad lists. I hope he sticks around.

Doc Rivers is a cool dude, but he doesn’t exactly have a voice that you’d want to listen to. The guys they fired to make room for him were great too. I think ESPN has made some staffing mistakes over the last couple of years as they seemingly are trying to steer clear of anyone controversial. I agree though, Doc won’t be coaching again.

When you walk around a casino, they aren’t populated with people who don’t have sufficient money. They are usually populated by people who go there to burn money. You typically see retirees with more retirement income than they know how to spend. You have celebrities and people on vacation looking for a good time. Gambling is entertainment after all and that usually has a cost.

This was a bit of a surprising move to me.  I thought the SEC was in the pockets of large investment funds, which gave me the belief that when something like this happened, it wouldn't just be Bitcoin but would also be Ethereum that was allowed due to the massive amount of insiders that are holders. 

For years Bitcoiners have been telling Coinbase to be Bitcoin only and stop the grifting altcoin nonsense.  It's sort of funny that it's the SEC that stepped up and made it happen.  This is one of those real life is wilder than fiction moments.  Good luck to Coinbase in their coming legal fight.  At least we now know why insiders and Cathie Wood suddenly started selling Coinbase.  Insider trading in public right before our eyes.  Guess how many will be punished?

How do those laser engravers work these days?  I had one 10 years ago and it did a pretty bad job on metal.  The ease of use was amazing though.  They even show you where and what it will engrave before pushing the engrave button.  My engraver that I have always used directly engraves onto the metal with an engraver head.  That makes it pretty deep and on there forever in spite of whatever may happen to it.  I wonder if laser engraving is deep enough to feel or see the indentions as well as hold up to temperatures and scratches like a traditional engraver.  What is your take on it?

Holy shit...  This is the first time I'm reading about this.  Richard Heart is a total douchebag, but did he basically give the Hex tokens away for free?  I guess he had a schedule to sell them as well if I remember, but I would think the "free" offer would have protected him here.  I know nothing about pulsechain or pulsex though, and it seems those are his recent offerings so maybe he strayed a little from his original Hex distribution. 

Richard Heart is sort of like the crypto version of PunchMadeDev so it would interesting to be a fly on the wall of his lawyer's office.  I wonder where he is now and if he's planning on running like Do Kwon did.
