in my opinion Robert Kiyosaki's comment seemed like a comment coming from someone who hates the dollar and that because of that he is encouraging people to buy gold and silver, but see that he did not encourage people to buy bitcoin, he just spoke that bitcoin price will be 120000$ next year.
I understand. Probably used the term "bitcoin" to get more attention. It seems like those news, which are talking about some cryptocurrency - which only serves to deceive people, and the last paragraph is always talking about Bitcoin. Clearly it's to attract clicks. I’ll admit when I saw Robert Kiyosaki in the news making crazy comments about the dollar and wild predictions about Bitcoin, my first thought was that he must be ready to release a new book. He’s sort of like Jim Cramer in that he’s an entertainer first and an economist second. Sadly, as a finance author being a character is the best way to sell books.

I feel like I haven’t heard much about Khamzat Chimaev lately. I expected he’d be getting some big fights by now but it seems like maybe they’re saving him for something? Maybe we’ll see him and Conor McGregor fight for the belt at some point? Conor McGregor is also rumored to be fighting in December, so I’m looking forward to seeing how his first fight back plays out.

As this fight approaches I’m surprised that Jake Paul seems to be doubling down in his offer to fight Nate in a UFC style match after this fight is over. I wonder if that would remain the case even if Jake lost. While I think Jake is the boxing favorite, Nate’s reach could be a problem the same way Tommy Fury’s was, and if Jake can’t win in boxing, he surely stands no chance in MMA.

I believe the adoption of Bitcoin by institutions has been slowed by their lack of ability to get exposure to BTC through traditional markets. Many don’t want to develop their own plans to hold BTC and some of them probably don’t want to lay high fees to places like Coinbase to act as their custodian. I think it’s likely that spot ETF approvals will open many doors for investment by institutions and large corporations.

What would be the point of keeping it? Just to screw someone else? I would want to talk to the owner of the device and hope that a reward for it’s return was coming to me, but even if it wasn’t there would be no point holding onto this device unless you think removing coins from circulation is somehow your duty as a Bitcoiner.

I don’t agree at all with the idea that the market will peak at $35K. I see almost no resistance at all at that level and think once we break out of the current trading range the price will shoot almost straight up to $40K. I’m curious where the number $35K entered the picture. Did you just select a number a little higher than the current price?

James Harden posted on twitter that he’s been comfortable for too long and it’s time to get uncomfortable. I’m not exactly sure what he’s referring to since he hasn’t stayed on one team long enough to get comfortable. Maybe he’s talking about his routine that has him overweight and unable to perform at the level he once could. Who knows?

I just read that James Harden has removed all information about Philadelphia 76ers from his social media accounts.
Probably all ties are broken. James Harden will definitely go to another team.
Last I heard, Harden was thinking LA Clippers. Talks he wants to be reunited with Westbrook. I don't know if the trade will happen, but if it does maybe he will finally be happy with an old teammate and stay in 1 place for the rest of his NBA career. Harden would be a better fit for the Clippers than John Wall was. I don’t think they could win a championship with him, but they’d get further than the first round of the playoffs. I think James Harden and Paul George could make for some great highlights as well. I consider them 2 of the most streetball like players currently playing in the NBA.

The crazy part to me about a Kennedy backing Bitcoin is that the last President who tried to free Americans from a Central Bank controlled currency was also a Kennedy. For those who are unfamiliar with why the CIA assassinated JFK, do a little research on Executive Order 11110. As good as a candidate backing Bitcoin could be, they would literally be killed by our own government before anything could be done.

I’ve been thinking about Jaylen Brown’s potential to earn 70 million dollars in a year on his next contract and wondering who the first player will be to earn 1 million dollars per game in the NBA. I think I’m ready to say that I think it will be Anthony Edwards or Karl Anthony Towns. Interestingly, they are both on the same team currently. I’m guessing that won’t last long…

~snip~ if the calculations are made offline let's say and a human applies the bets without software then you simply can't you could let's say ban softwares and automations but there's no way to ban like an adviser be it a human or an AI one, doesn't matter
You can always just get your information from a machine that is crunching the numbers somewhere. It's hard to ban any kind of "enhanced play" if done subtlety Odds are odds and the bookmakers don’t care what you are using to place your bets. Most of the time they’re taking a cut win or lose, so they couldn’t care less if you found some secret to using AI to win every sporting bet you make. As the entity taking bets, they just want to see more volume. I wouldn’t be surprised if gambling sites starting implementing AI helpers to help build bets for customers in the future.

I wonder what the motivation for this was. Perhaps they were seeing an influx of crypto miners that was stressing their electrical grid and causing problems? That’s the first thought that comes to mine. Especially considering the timing with the hottest days ever being recorded happening. I’d imagine they want to make sure people are able to use their air conditioners without brownouts due to miners.

It seems like every morning I wake up and read more terrible news about this war. Today it’s Ukraine’s ports being bombed. There are videos surfacing of captured Ukrainian troops saying they were threatened with jail if they didn’t fight. I don’t know how much longer we’re expected to pay for this horrible proxy war, but I for one don’t think Ukrainians should be forced to fight in it or face jail.

People tried but the CEO and the board of directors of Ripple said we can’t do it. (sure doesn’t sound decentralized does it?) 😉
Hahaha, Ripple from Ripplelabs is one of the most centralized top10-valued cryptos out there. Imho a great representation of what the term shitcoin actually means. I wouldn't want any XRP collectible in my collection ever for that reason. "And while the company may argue against this point, Ripple the network really hasn’t decentralized much from its point of creation. For years, all of Ripple’s clients (the implementation of its code) were set to trust only Ripple’s validation nodes by default. " From https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/06/13/ripple-does-not-care-whether-xrp-is-sufficiently-decentralized/That said, these CT silver coins do look fantastic. I’m not even sure if XRP is accurately categorized as being a cryptocurrency. Perhaps this is my ignorance speaking here, but isn’t XRP just a centralized spreadsheet with no cryptographic properties whatsoever? As far as I’m aware, wasn’t it just a scam pulled off by Ripple which was propelled to massive value by Bitcoin’s increase in price and their having a ton of them they shwindled with lies early on?

I assume the common mistake people make when gambling is not quitting when you’re ahead. I personally don’t gamble with very large amounts, but occasionally I will hit a decent win and get some coin. For me though, when I get some house money I don’t cash out and celebrate, I look for that life changing score and give it all back. I don’t gamble for the money, so for me it’s the ‘what if’ that drives me to consistently lose winnings.

I would alter this statement to say, “If you quit having fun, that’s when you lose.” In the end it is important to remember that gambling is a form of entertainment and the purpose for entertainment is to have fun. Whether or not you leave the casino with more or less money isn’t the deciding factor on whether or not you have fun, and if it is then you are likely to experience a bad time gambling, statistically speaking.

Interesting This has been a pretty predictable pattern for quite some time now. Given how human beings naturally seek out patterns, I think it is likely that no matter what happens in the markets, traders will fulfill this fractal prophecy with their own expectations and actions. I’m not sure if after this cycle there will be any larger players left to continue it after Wall Street, so I would recommend taking a little off the table whenever we do peak, likely around Q3 of 2025.

He's different and has a different approach towards his body, he invests a lot on it and if every player is getting a huge contract as his. Then, for sure that they'll also the same self care with their bodies and will invest $1M on it yearly.
LeBron is a good example because, despite being an exceptional player, he still ensures to take care of his body. You can really tell that he is a disciplined man, unlike other superstars who love to party and enjoy their fortunes made in the NBA, which can lead them to forget about their future. At Lebron's age now, he still a decent player who could easily average a double double, so I'm sure he'll stay for awhile. He does probably spend more on his body than any other human being who has ever lived. I’m sure his work ethic is insane. He’s also been doing it for so long now that I’m sure he couldn’t live any other way. Father Time is undefeated though and I think LeBron is going to have an increasingly difficult time staying healthy each time he steps on the court.

With tech stocks heating up again it seems inevitable for fresh money to start pouring into crypto markets. We’ve definitely got a choppy market on the way with the ETF approvals and mtgox coins fighting over which way the market will go. It’s all just near term smoke screen though. The halving is what will dominate the conversation next year.
Yes you have reason in what you said, but i thin we are gonna remember this year like the transition and "calm" year, without so much movement ahead. Going up and down like now. And next year its gonna be more heating up than ever for two main factors, - USA elections, i think most of ours are missunderstanding, but i think we are gonna see a trend about crypto in the next elections. - HALVING, im one of the guys who dont think this halving its gonna hit so much the market because its less significant than others but still hit the market. THe main question its, its gonna pump inmediatly the market or its gonna be very slow?. And this give us another new question. ITs gonna be at the same time the hit in the market between the elections and Halving?. Imagine X candidate saying something pro crypto and he win the elections..... we can be more close to the moon.. I’m one of those guys who doesn’t believe Bitcoin is more than a niche community at this point. While a pro Bitcoin President would be nice, I don’t think it will make much of a difference. I could be wrong though, the way President Biden is destroying the US I wouldn’t have thought possible before seeing it either.

With James harden trying to force his way out of Philly to the clippers, Ben Simmons shipped out & Markelle Fultz being a flop, it seemed like Philly was resting its hopes on Joel Embiid. Well, now Embiid is saying he doesn’t care what team he plays for, he just wants a championship. It looks like ‘Trust the Process’ may officially be a failure soon.
Embiid's desire to win his first title is understandable. However, I've heard other rumors about him and the 76ers. There's a rumor that Embiid wants to go the way of Dirk and Kobe. In other words, he wants to stay with the 76ers for his entire career and win a title in Philadelphia. If that's true, then the 76ers management should think about building a really strong team before Embiid runs out of patience. These words were also said for Damian Lillard. We know what the situation is now. If they can't win the championship he leaves the team, it's that simple, because such players left their teams. I get where these folks are coming from. Chips are important to these elite players, especially because they are over 30 years old and desperately desire one before retiring. Aside from the salary, it appears to be their first priority. That is why they are always changing teams and collaborating with other superstars, the same with other franchises. It’s a sign that the players are being paid too much money in my opinion. This is why we keep seeing super teams popping up. Players taking less money to team up used to be honorable, but now they are all making so much money that people are praising star players for only taking 35-40 million dollars per year to help their team. Not to mention endorsements make up a big part of their income and they get more endorsements with championships under their belt.
