I bought them myself in 2011, so I personally guarantee the authenticity.
 So take it or leave it...

Why not show the picture of the coin you are selling  Huh

What are dollars?  No bitcoin?  And how are you guaranteeing authenticity as stated in your OP?

Check out escrow use too.  Noone gonna bid probably without that.

Memphis underdogs by 6.5.  Lol. That's crazy.  I don't get how so many people are not giving them the cred they deserve.  They were down 10 points multiple time in the last series in the 4th quarter alone and came back.  This one they were down late and came back.  They don't crumble under the lights.  This team is more than just ja.  Go check out when ja was hurt what Memphis did to teams.  They are deep, young and good.  Taking that 6.5 points all day.

Zion Williamson came out today and said he was cleared to play and could have suited up in the Pelicans last game. He said his plan was to wait until game 7 to return so he could help them get to the next round and surprise everyone. Seems like a pretty juvenile plan that didn’t work out for him. Not to mention his teammates have to be pissed off that he could have helped them in game 6, but wanted to come back in dramatic fashion to be the hero that got them to the next round. Hopefully he can stay healthy this off-season so we can see him play again. He was exciting to watch, but I don’t think his career will be a long one.

Don't know if all of that talk is true.  Think the pels even came out well before that and said he isn't gonna play.  It's in the long term interest of the team to get him 100% and not throw him into what would have been physical hell.   Game conditioning especially for a big boy like him would take awhile.  Why kill his physche and set him up to fail on a big stage.

Though Memphis win, they still should not be complacent because they are behind in the series. Warriors did their home work and they won 1 game on the road. Now that they are back on their home court, things should be easier for them as they have the crowd and they are master of their home court.

Bad officiating has been the issue in the last 2 games, hopefully we will have a fair officiating in game 3.

What are you talking about?  Golden state shot like crap the whole game couldn't hit a 3 pointer had 18 turnovers.  Memphis d was locking them down.  Refs called more fouls on Memphis than they did golden state?  Why just because Memphis won it must have been bad officiating?  You clearly haven't watched Memphis play at all this year.  They have been hands down better than golden state.  People riding old times, this ain't 2017...  Did the refs screw up golden state shooting lol

Ja morant was clearly the best player on the court last night, nobody could stop him.
2806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Warriors vs Grizzlies 2nd round discussion on: May 04, 2022, 04:24:39 AM
As long as the books are giving the Grizzlies points at home I'm taking them.  Golden state looked slow tonight.  Unfortunate play in the beginning from brooks, he had to get ejected that was a bad foul.  

Ja: 47 points.  He's a bad dude.  GS could do nothing to stop him all night.  

Guess the Grizzlies are gonna be like 5 point underdogs or something at golden state.  Gimme the Grizzlies all series here.  They are younger, faster and hungrier.  They might not win but they will keep the game air tight if they lose.

Has nobody seen Memphis play all year?  Desmond Bane is ridiculously good.  Dillon brooks lights it up, the team is deep and they dominated during the regular season.  Everyone talking like they would be lucky to win a game here l.  They won 3 out of the 4 games in the regular season against the Warriors.  Not saying they are gonna steam roll the Warriors but people talking like they suck or something lol.

A. Horford 1+ 3pt made / J. Holiday 1+ steal / J. Brown 1+ steal @1.78

J. Brown flopped so bad in GM 1 scoring only 12 points, he was at 5 turnovers and 6 points mid through the 4Q, huh goodness me....guess i'm moving away from points and assists in these series and will focus on defense and 3pts made instead.

My biggest takeaway from GM 1 was Milwaukee's defense and their ability to stop Celtics players from scoring inside. Take a look at this stat, crazy i know:

Quote
The Celtics made their fewest 2-pointers in team history today with 10.

Previous low was 14 (12/9/16 vs. TOR).

I don't think the Bucks will make any major changes to their defense. They'll try to keep the ball out of Tatum and Brown's hands and allow the role players to beat them with outside shots. Horford made 4 3-pointers on 9 attempts in GM 1 (9 was a season-high for him), he'll have plenty of good looks again. I'm also counting on Holiday and Brown to both get at least one steal, Jrue finished GM 1 with 3 and Brown with 2.


Jaylen brown properly going off in the first half right now.  Frustrating trying to pick games when it's no rhyme or reason that they sh** the bed or if they go off.  I do like that approach to parlays though, 1 steal shoukd be a given for a starting guard regardless of who they are.
2810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 03, 2022, 07:20:20 PM
Anyways, still early for these things but it was quite entertaining to see that Bucks can still handle even though they are undermanned.

If Bucks would win game 2, they might be in the 2nd next to the Warriors. They are really a big threat because they have the heart of a champion, and imagine, Bucks will be playing the Warriors in the finals, how would it go? small ball versus the big line up of the Bucks.

Guess you are thinking the #1 teams in each conf and who have looked almost unbeatable to date don't have a shot?  Warriors will be lucky to get out of the Memphis series unscathed.  Then probably have to go on the road again and beat the Suns.  They got a much tougher road then the Bucks do I think to get there.
2811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Klay Thompson @51 for NBA Finals MVP. on: May 03, 2022, 07:18:01 PM
Thus far, I believe that Klay Thompson is the most consistent on the big 3 of the Warriors. The defense was obviously focused on Curry and that will make Thompson open because he is always the first option if Curry would passed, as a result, he will generate more points easily.

So I see the odds, and it's 51, IMO, that's very tempting.

The question is, is it worth taking it?

I beg to disagree- while Klay Thompson might be one of the solid foundation of the Warriors ever since, I think Jordan Poole deserves an outstanding consideration and reward for his consistency and clutch plays.

In the first game between the Warriors vs Memphis, Poole scored 31points while also being very effective on the field. Even during the recovery phase of Klay, Poole showed his true talent and potential where he can actually dish out insane range and ball handling techniques which proved effective in the long-run. I guess Poole deserves a higher spot than Klay this season.

Poole is 25-1 odds to win the mvp for the finals so he is being bet on like he will win it more than klay.  It's all about odds and if they are "worth" it.  50-1 is outdated I think klay is coming in at around 30-1 now that golden states odds to win the chip has gotten better as well.
2812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Klay Thompson @51 for NBA Finals MVP. on: May 03, 2022, 06:58:35 PM
The question is, is it worth taking it?
There are some suggestions that I think you should consider before taking and betting on Thompson and Curry, their match can be said to be head-to-head.
First:
You should look at their Stats this season for the Warriors, for example the average points Thompson has earned and how many seasons they have played, also for Curry.
Second:
The MVP award they get and the most, also you have to look at their points and career during the game and who often wins.

First and second questions, I think it's important for judgment before you take and determine victory, if Klay Thompson has the best points in basketball and vice versa Stephen Curry.

If you've seen as I said, just take those 51 points, and make your choice.

Don't really know what you are getting at but how many seasons they've played and theor stats in season have no bearing on finals mvp.  One Warriors have to make it and then second it's basically the best player during that week/s.  The question is if 51-1 is a long shot someone is comfortable with because chances are highly unlikely klay will hoist the mvp
2813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: May 03, 2022, 06:57:03 PM
When two fighters with such impressive stats fight one another it's always a great event with a lot of money to be made for everyone. These two are sure to gather crowds, so I'll be sure to watch the event when it happens. With enough positive feedback from the fans they're going to at least try to set it up simply for the money and prestige of such event.

Ypu think the books would favor Spence here?  If so I'm gonna hit Crawford hard.  Is there any prediction sites on what the odds would come out as if they do line up across the ring eventually?  Could you link it here if there is, thanks!

Of course Crawford is going to be favored due to more fights in his career, more knockouts and the fact that Spence had an accident which always brings some doubt about his current condition to the table. He can be in perfect form, but people will be less willing to bet on him knowing that he spent some time in a hospital.


That's what I would think.  Gonna poke around some boxing forums to see if there is any arbitrary lines on the fight if it takes place.  I would think Crawford would be a -150 or so favorite in this one.  Nothing too crazy but enough to get people to think twice about laying down on it.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5392002.0

This was the most recent sale here for a brass and it's a 2011 which is generally more coveted than the 2013   Looks like a .04premium but this one was graded at ms66 so you can expect same/less here.  If you are new to selling or don't know what to do here it might be worth a peel to be honest if you are in need of the digital.  With that being said tread lightly whereever you sell this people like to scam :/

If you decide to sell here use a reputable escrow like minerjones to protect both the buyer and seller in the transaction.  
2815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 03, 2022, 06:38:30 PM
I got Warriors ML and Bucks ML tomorrow.

I think they are capable of sweeping their respective opponent, what do you think?
Total odds is 4.60.. I know most of us think that Celtics and Memphis are going to even the series, I'm going the other way.  Grin

Honestly that's not where the money is coming in.  Bucks and Warriors getting all the love.  Grizzlies at home getting 2 points is still too enticing.  I'm taking the Grizzlies here.  They shot terrible and still came within a missed layup from winning last game.  Gimme the Grizzlies to take this one.

I will be taking the Bucks in the other game but light.  Celtics at home are still tough so treading lightly there.
2816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: May 03, 2022, 06:30:12 PM
<...>the Titans need to go all-in as well if they want to have any chance of beating Mahomes, Allen or Burrow.

It's easier said than done.

Going all-in doesn't guarantee you anything, yeah it's appealing if you have someone like Brady on your team, but for the rest, it's unnecessary risk.

The SB champs Rams with all their moves and trades...barely pulled off a win against a second-year QB coming off a serious injury with a rookie WR and horrendous O-line.

Maybe the Titans didn't in fact miss their chance to make some moves that could have put them over the hump while Brown was on that friendly rookie contract, but strapping $25mil a year to a WR whose TDs basically halved last season (dudes like Callaway and Osborn finished with more TDs) and then trying to sign people is near damn impossible....don't get me wrong, i'm not saying the Titans won't miss Brown.

Btw, this is the Titans' first-round pick Treylon Burks, AJ Brown 2.0?  Grin


image source: https://twitter.com/NFLonPrime/status/1519861634402947073

I think that's exactly what they were thinking.  Paying wide recievers monster money isn't where cap space makes sense.  Pass rushers, elite cornerbacks, elite OT, and obviously qb is where big money should go.  AJ is good no doubt but his production can be replaced much cheaper.  

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BrowAJ00.htm

I know stats don't say it all but he has never really gotten above sub 1000 yard seasons yet.  

He disappears in games too easily still.
2817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 03, 2022, 06:26:01 PM
What a good team the Miami Heats are, Philadelphia is still a collection of stars, following this path they have 0 chances of fighting for the title.

Phoenix Suns are also a great team and Dallas is a gathering of wills and a plea for Luka to have a huge game to win. 0 chances to win if they continue like this

Well I think the product of the sixers loss is mainly attributed to embid going down.  That completely changes the game both on defense and offense.  Bam doesn't completely go off if embid is in there.  And conversely embid would draw a ton of fouls against the heat.  More points and more possible bench time for some heat starters.  Regardless I agree with your assesment of Miami, they look real good as a team.
2818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: May 03, 2022, 06:23:36 PM
This will gonna be an epic fight with rematch schedule in advance.

That will surely be an epic fight but to tell you honestly, way back before, I'm really eyeing and considering Terence Crawford has the upper hand against Errol Spence Jr. knowing how deadly he is in his prime.

But as time goes by, the way Terence Crawford struggles with his previous fight against Shawn Porter, there are signs that he's not already on his usual form different from the time when Crawford vs Spence becomes a hype. Shawn Porter was tagged as the most challenging boxer that Crawford has faced up to this point.

Pointing to Spence Jr., we see how he truly dominated Yordenis Ugas in his previous fight. If Crawford will perform the same he did against Shawn Porter, Spence's recent comment about "38-1 is still a good record of Crawford" might come true. Spence Jr. really got my attention to the point that, I'm now considering him as the King of 147 lbs. - don't take it literally guys but I'm open to any arguments. Smiley

We should really see this fight being happened.

And this is why I am seeing that sportsbooks will slightly favor Spence here.
Also, consider the belts that he is holding compare to Crawford.
And if their promoters will make this fight happen this year, this will be one of the boxing fights that will earn huge money.
We should see this fight as soon as they can, I hope their promoters will not wait too long as their boxers are aging also.
But I am reading that Thurman wants to fight with Crawford first, so whoever wins will fight Spence.

Ypu think the books would favor Spence here?  If so I'm gonna hit Crawford hard.  Is there any prediction sites on what the odds would come out as if they do line up across the ring eventually?  Could you link it here if there is, thanks!
2819  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Graphics cards are flooding the market on: May 03, 2022, 06:20:16 PM
For those who are undecided, here is my 2cents.
Hodl your cards inho, there are plenty of other GPU PoW projects that push out new updates and have a strong community backing it.

Also, if you didn't sell it a couple months ago, I suggest to overclock the cards you have now and try to ROI most of it before the merge.
But if your promo ends soon, you know the "no interested for a X amount of months" credit card, your choice becomes more obvious.
Yes, they are but do you see how big the ETH's network hashrate has become? It's impossible for all 1.03 PH/s ETH's network hashrate transferable to other GPU PoW out there as I speak. I mean this is already a well-known fact for any miners when we talk about the ETH 2.0 PoS if it goes live. For comparison, ETC pulls 24.54 TH/s right now and that is roughly only 2.4% of ETH's network hashrate. If any other GPU PoW out here is better than that, able to increase its price to match with the number of ETH's miners when they start the migration then I'd rather buy and hold that coin instead of mining it.

I understand the very real concern but in times when there was basically nothing to mine in 2015 and gpu mining is dead was a very real thought it obviously overcame that and I think we will see that same issue be overcome if/when eth migrates.  Will older less powerful gpus become obsolete maybe and they will drop off but saying gpu mining is over is not looking past the dust cloud.
2820  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Graphics cards are flooding the market on: May 02, 2022, 06:41:51 PM
It's Over

Graphic card stores are now panicking because many GPUs are flooding the market and they feel at loss because no one is buying them and the old GPUs they have in stores can't be sold at high price like before, I pity them though since they bought them out the country and can't sell, no one is willing to buy right now in my country, it is what it is.

Ever since asics came on board everyone has said gpu mining is dead lol.  There will be others that come on board and keep gpus usable in crypto, then gaming is huge so these stores won't get stuck with gpus, they will always be needed and sell.
