I just watched the Stephen Curry documentary on AppleTV. I found it to be a little on the boring side if I’m being honest but it was interesting to see his journey. It just wasn’t a very exciting journey. However, I did think it was interesting how his decision to stay at Davidson paid off and how his college coach believing in him seemingly made the difference between him quitting basketball or not. I think most people never find that person in their life that believes in them and gives them an opportunity.

For the incident happen to Bronny provably many teams will avoid to take him since cardiac arrest is serious health case which teams can't risk to give him a contract sue to health issues. And it seems that we can't really see the most awaited father and son duo in Nba, maybe for this incident where Bronny is in serious troubles maybe we can see Lebron retires as his plan didn't come up and he don't have anything to prove anymore. Just want to see some miracle comes and there's still a chance for son of Lebron to have a good comeback and can still able to play good basketball together with his father or if not still land on Nba.

Let's not make it a big deal; instead, let's be positive. Let's trust the process the team will follow because he will not be included in the NBA draft if he doesn't pass the physical exam. What if what happened isn't that serious, or there's a cure for it?

Bronny has been anticipated to play in the NBA, although he isn't as good as his father. But with LeBron's influence, there's surely a team that will draft him. However, with what happened recently, some fans may be doubting his chance to make it to the NBA.

Yeah, it's a mix reaction for now, others are relieved to hear that he is out of danger and kudos to the staff who tend to him. On the other hand, I read some news that it might be the end of his career. However, I'm taking it with a grain of salt, perhaps just like crypto, it's full of FUD and negative news for click bait article.

In any case he is still capable of playing in the NBA, and if I'm not mistaken he has shown intention for a draft, so he might be in the next draft class and for sure there will be teams that are going to pick because afterall, he is still the of Lebron and they want to make history in the next couple of years, as the first father and son in the NBA.

Yes, these articles released about Bronny James's situation are not really helping at all because instead of bringing a positive and real news, they instead bring some doubts to the public about his future in the NBA just to gather some attentions from the crowd. A click bait article to be exact.

I do agree, and hopefully the family of Lebron will just simply ignored this news and let Bronny heal and continue with his career. That's how media is, specially with the James family. And for sure they have been followed multiple times already and Bronny will be in the limelight when he started to go back and play basketball again. And with Lebron's money, they might have to spend some to just take care of Bronny and make him healthy again.

Furthermore, it is still too soon to have a conclusion towards his future in the NBA because almost everything are still unknown at this point, let's just be thankful first that he is now discharged from the hospital and is now resting towards his recovery. I guess it is safe to say that his future is still bright as the sun.

All we can say is that he is still very young, so his chances of recovery is very high here. So personally, I think he will go back in playing basketball again and be a normal kid and then go and play with his father in the NBA in the next 2 years as if nothing had happen to Bronny.

Yes, there is a big chance and it is indeed very likely that he can still recover from what he had been through because he is still young. He still have a lot of room for that.
Anyway, sticking to the topic, it seems that he (Bronny) is quite okay now because the whole James family was recently spotted in downtown LA for an intimate family dinner after a scary health issue this week. So, I think that means that everything is going to be okay now.

He looks like he’s doing pretty well. They released this video of him playing the piano.

https://twitter.com/lakeshowyo/status/1685312664627707904

It doesn’t say much because I have no idea if he was a skilled piano player before or not, but it does show his condition. He’s doing good hand movements and he can clearly stand and walk so it isn’t a dire situation. He appears well on the road to recovery. Hopefully it wasn’t so bad and he’s back at it soon.

Here I found a list of Top 10 Casino Slot Streamers which includes Corinna Kopf ,Tyler Faraz Niknamm, Flávio Fernandes and many others.

Do you guys follow the casino streamers and are they fun to watch? Or do you think that playing casino slots yourself is more fun?

While these streamers may earn a good amount of money through streaming, they sometimes may become inspirational to the gamblers which may lead the normal gamblers to gamble more or become addicted too in some cases.

Thoughts Huh

Their job is basically to get people to start using the casinos, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say they’re trying to get people addicted. They’re just wildly spending right now to capture market share and earn a first person movers advantage for whenever gambling becomes more widely accepted. That being said, I’d stream some gambling sessions is I were sponsored. Hit me up Stake!

Guys!  There just may be a way to stick around for the final Bitcoin halving...

https://www.businessinsider.nl/a-46000-year-old-worm-found-in-siberian-permafrost-was-brought-back-to-life-and-started-having-babies/

"A 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost was brought back to life, and started having babies

 Scientists discovered a female microscopic roundworm
 that has been stuck deep in Siberian permafrost for
 46,000 years, the Washington Post reported. When
 they revived it, the worm started having babies via a
 process called parthenogenesis, which doesn't
 require a mate...
"

 I wouldn't recommend you immediately begin parthenogenesis when you're revived though...  check the bitcoin price first.


I prefer a working time machine or an Arabic genie who can fulfill my three wishes!
In both cases, I will travel to the early days of Bitcoin and mine as many Bitcoin as I can.

Mining the Bitcoin was never the hard part. The hard part was always not selling it for massive gains because you don’t care about the money and then watching it become more money than you need. The type of person who wants to go back in time to make easy money is the type of person who would still cash most of it in early to spend before it turns into something life changing. It isn’t opportunity people lack, it’s greed that puts a ceiling on how high they can go.

According to Shams the NBA has warned Damian Lillard and his agent that if they make any more comments about Damn only wanting to play for the Miami Heat then they would be, “subject to discipline.” I think this shows that Portland isn’t exactly set on sending Dame where he wants to go. Dame ending up unhappy on an obscure team might be the surprise of the offseason.
I guess they're just tired of seeing and reading those statements that they're too vulgar on where Dame wants to go together with his agents. Honestly, these trades should have just been kept private until it's done but anyway. These are also where these personalities are earning through the info that they release to the public. It seems that this trade hasn't happened yet.
The league made Dame release a statement saying he would give any team he plays for his full effort. Know info Damian Lillard I’m sure that’s true. Still, it’s funny that he had to release a statement to avoid getting himself caught up in fines. I question whether the league will let him go to Miami. It has Chris Paul to the Lakers vibes.
It gonna be a matter of time until we see some real updates about his transfer or if there will really be a transfer being allowed by the Blazers. This is taking so long honestly.
So it's like that letting Dame give some statement and then later on, the league itself does want to fine him if he does continue to say on which team he wants to play.

Regarding about Dame's trade talks that are still going on up until this point in time, I don't think that the NBA itself is actually serious about that warning they issued towards Dame and his agent instead they are just putting some pressure to make the trade happen because it's taking too long to be honest.

Aside from that, it got me thinking that what if the Portland Trail Blazers doesn't want the trade? That they are just assuming that they are interested towards it, like this and that, but in the first place, they are just making an announcement that Dame wants it but it is the franchise who doesn't want to let go.

Portland seemed ready to blow up the team. Dame isn’t getting and younger and his salary isn’t getting any lower. With CJ gone now, it’s time for them to say goodbye to Dame for business reasons. They really wanted to keep the narrative that they would do anything for him, but now that it’s time to delivered on that they’re putting pressure on Miami by trying to field other offers.
2666  Economy / Speculation / Re: How did you see BTC in future? on: July 29, 2023, 05:36:09 PM
2023 1 BTC = 1 BTC
2024 1 BTC = 1 BTC
2025 1 BTC = 1 BTC

Holding onto the facts ;-)
We know all about that inspirational quote. I doubt if those who quote it will be able to stand to its reality in practice. If 1 BTC in 2009 is the same thing as 1 BTC in 2023, let someone repeat that feat of donating 50 BTC to the forum like some early adopters did 🤦. We're talking about value here, not a mere mathematical representation.

...
2025 = $150k+ this year, bitcoin is supposed to record another All time high so I guess it will more than double its price from the previous ATH
I flow with all you said here. Any projection that puts next Bitcoin ATH at less than double of its present ATH ($68k+) is simply being too modest.

Nobody actually believes the 1 BTC = 1 BTC or uses it in real life. It’s clear to anyone who has done any sort of business in Bitcoin for any amount of time over a week. As an escrow agent and as a seller of goods here, I can tell you that the exchange rate is always foremost on people’s mind when trading BTC for anything. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional and speaking in principle what they don’t practice in real life.

And with that, I still think that they can make history, and we will forget that this happen to Bronny. And as per report, he was discharge already with a clean bill of health. Maybe him being still young help in the recovery very sooner than expected.
Good that he's already been discharged. Because with things happening to him, it's going to be bad thing if he don't recover too quick. His family got the money so medication isn't going to be problem until he's able to recover very well.

The league made Dame release a statement saying he would give any team he plays for his full effort. Know info Damian Lillard I’m sure that’s true.

Anyone heard about this boxing match being promoted in some small county in the south I believe? I should probably check to see if it’s real and I forget the name of the promoting company, but I did see a promotion for a boxing match between two nine year olds and I’ll admit that I’m curious and would probably watch, it seems like this boxing shenanigans stuff is starting to cross lines.

Well there is some 'bullish' news for investors of this project. Italy's Central Bank called Milano Hub has chose Polygon for help with its normal finance and decentralized finance.
https://sellainsights.it/-/the-bank-of-italy-opens-the-fintech-milano-hub
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/italy-central-bank-taps-polygon-140000944.html

Polygon never has a shortage of positive announcements or new partners. The problem is that a lot of coins are still in the hands of people sitting on massive gains. They’re also using those coins to gain partners in the space, a bit like Sirius Satellite Radio did with their stock to get Howard Stern. They need to make sure they emerge on the other side with good products and lots of users. Not just partners dumping coins they were given for participating.
2671  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why this Altcoin called Worldcoin could have a huge potential? on: July 28, 2023, 10:40:09 PM
Worldcoin has a massive budget behind it and has been all over the news recently so it wouldn’t surprise me to see its valuation grow for a period of time. The project is pretty creepy though. The way they seem to be going after regular people to get lots of folks on board with small investments reminds me of the approach of Safemoon. I expect a similar result.
2672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to program an fpga to mine any coin. on: July 28, 2023, 10:37:51 PM
I’m also curious about this. I often see people making crazy claims about their FPGA miners and for a time I experienced the power of being a first mover with an FPGA on Bitcoin’s blockchain. It was great. I still have the 10+ year old Butterfly Labs FPGA miners. I wonder if anyone has ever repurposed them for anything else.
2673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it advisable to invest on Solana? on: July 28, 2023, 10:35:28 PM
Well if you think Web3 games are going to be big, than I think it is still good to invest in Solana. It has launched Gameshift to make it easier for Web3 game development.

https://gameshift.solanalabs.com/

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/solana-labs-introduces-gameshift-to-simplify-web3-game-production-301880066.html

It seems that Solana is driving its focus on Blockchain gaming. Not a bad idea, but it would've been best if developers addressed the network outages first. In the world of Blockchain gaming, I believe Play to Earn (P2E) games are the hottest ones around. SOL might gain traction if game developers from other projects move to its chain.

There are rumors that FTX will make a comeback, so who knows if Solana reaches a new ATH in the future? As long as you don't put all of your eggs in one basket, there should be nothing to worry about. Yhat said, only time will tell us how far Solana will go. Just my opinion Smiley

I think Solana is doing everything they can to remain relevant after it came out that the coin was being pumped up with fraudulent money from the FTX organization. Even if FTX were to come back, they wouldn’t be able to continue fraudulently moving markets, so while Solana is valued extremely cheaply right now, there’s a good reason. I’d stick to BTC or ETH if you must hold alts.

I love that Bradley Martin called out Logan Paul for a sparring match at his gym after Logan essentially did the same thing. While Bradley may want to do the fight without cameras, I’d personally love to see them fight on the undercard of this Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight. Bradley Martin is a monster and as steroid powered as it gets. Seeing what the human body is capable of in a boxing ring would be entertaining for sure.
2675  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin will accepted worldwide for legal then price rising $100k?? on: July 28, 2023, 10:29:34 PM
If btc is legally accepted in all countries then huge number of investors will increase. and the use of btc in various fields will increase.

what is your opinion about this?

I think a lot of governments are waiting for that. That's why they are buying bitcoin. One day it will happen. That's my opinion. Until then, whoever has more bitcoins is better.

It may not happen right away. Some things take a long time to be accepted. Once it's accepted, it's adopted quickly. I think Bitcoin will be adopted in the same way.

I’m not sure it will ever happen for regular people. When the valuation gets high enough I could see it being used by governments to settle debts, but they’re always going to want more control over their citizens. It’s more likely that people will be forced to use CBDCs while governments hold Bitcoin like they do gold to give their CBDC legitimacy.

The figure of 60,000 EV is not the actual number or that works, but rather out of a total of 60,000, there are a number of stations in the experimental stages, and according to the article, the number is 8898 that were experimental, however, there are no confirmations regarding the real residences and whether they are accurate.

Quote
Disclaimer: Of the 60,000 EV charging points reportedly supporting Bitcoin payments in Europe, a large number is still in the experimental phase, and Satimoto is yet to publish the exact number and an updated map.

Quote
Although the company has not yet said how many of these 60,000 charging points are experimental at the moment, the release of an updated, full map is coming soon, Satimoto said on July 26, as it celebrated reaching 2,000 Twitter followers.

Thank you for that clarification. Upon reading the initial number stated I was a bit shocked but impressed that this happened without me having any idea.

The OP is still right though. It was the use cases for Bitcoin that really makes a difference to those outside of holders looking to get rich sitting on their Bitcoin.
2677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Saylor ever sell? on: July 28, 2023, 10:23:42 PM
I don’t think he will sell. He doesn’t really have a reason to sell and if he did it would be extremely destructive to the valuation of his company. More likely he would just pay himself money by taking out loans via his company against his BTC. Who knows though as he does hold a ton personally as well that might be more tempting for him to cash in at a massive gain.
2678  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will btc drop to 27k? on: July 28, 2023, 09:40:21 PM
That isn’t outrageously far below the current level and would still mark an annual gain so it isn’t out of the question. I’m sure it would only take a little bad news to get there. Will it stay that low and continue to trend lower? I don’t think so. I don’t think many people are worried about such a small move though. If you’re investing for a several hundred percent gain you should be willing to deal with a 10% loss.

This is great. While there wasn’t really anything they could do about it anyway, it’s still nice to see freedoms being added to “the books” instead of being stripped away for a change. I don’t think this will have any real effect on Bitcoin or it’s price, but it’s always nice to get a positive piece of information in the news.

I’ve messed around with crash a bit. I think as a gambling game it’s pretty great. It gives a head to head feel against other players that is usually missing from those types of games. I would agree that playing it long term with a strategy might not be a winning strategy though. It’s pretty unpredictable. A lot of fun though if that matters at all.
