I would tell anyone who is contemplating on whether or not it is too late to get into it,
It is certainly not.
If you think about how it was over $67k for it's all time high late last year. Then you can say it is half way to that point and could reach it again.
When that will be is anyone's guess.
But dollar cost average your buys everytime you have some spare change and you have a strategy to get still get in and not be left out.

I have the same bet and NaVi just did their part of the job, now we just need that one bad draft Smiley That way we can win out stressing.

I have that on a ticket with Brame over 2.5 and united both to score so I still have a bit to go. 
Our over hit thanks to Navi's poor drafting but unfortunate to see the other leg of your parlay didn't end up hitting.

Going for another over 2.5 pick but this time it's on the CSGO qualifiers between MOUZ vs BIG. Even though MOUZ is struggling to maintain consistency I still expect these guys to grab a map against BIG which is on a decent streak lately.
Mouz sports looked good against movistars team who were on a winning streak the past tournaments I had been watching them play. But they still 2-0 them.
I like the over 2.5 map picks against Big.
Best of luck on the bet as both Pinnacle and Intel Extreme Masters are the big tournaments going on right now.

Yes this years race in miami is definitely going to be crypto focused since the scene there is favored with it being sponsored under the same name.

Just heard the very sad news of Ayrton's passing:

Both Ferrari drivers paid their respects via a tweet of what the loss meant to them:

Iam amazed Pain won vs mibr after some terrible losses before that but never count the Brazilians out, thing was both teams were from Brazil lol.  
  Cloud9 just took on the ex Gambit squad which is probably a good bargain for them, cant blame them.   ENCE vs Astralis went to 3 maps, just closing now sadly ENCE a little too strong but think I did bet 3 maps so all good  [first map ENCE lose 16-3 but come back on Nuke classic upset map but also not a weak map for Astralis; I should have closed my Astralis bet during that first map probably]
Amazing set of each finals in this seasons Blast series!
Both favorites lost with Ence & Pain gaming both beating them in their matches.
The Brazilians only took two maps to do it against a strong Furia side.
But that is cs go for you, expect the unexpected when it comes to how teams come out when it is time play.

Cloud9 are infact back and was surprised with this news.

I don't see this as good news for the advancement and progress for cryptocurrencies as a whole,
Seeing other countries regulating it's use is not beneficial to making it used more but worse in the cause of it being a fully fledged currency.
People see the word regulate and think it is being accepted into society. But it is not.
Just ask Ross about that.
We all know where he is and having this done will have people alike in there along with him.
The term we should be all looking forward to is legalization of bitcoin in these countries instead.

Blast Premier finals are happening right now!
The European finals currently going on with Astralis taking a 1-0 lead over Ence. These are BO3 so anything can happen there.
With the North American finals coming up right after with Furia being the favorites to win over Pain gaming, it should be an interesting one.
Still time to put in a bet here on this match:

2870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: May 01, 2022, 05:52:38 PM
For me now in this pool first place is really far away and i think after this awful round and a pretty unlucky one for me i dont stand a chance of getting that first place if something insane dosent happen. Even that 5th place is too far away now aswell. I can just hope to stay at top 10 until the pool ends honestly Sad
i think you're still in the race for the top spots, you just need a yellow cap (or at least a lot of correct scores) and hope that the others miss a few correct scores, the latter is difficult but not impossible

btw, I believe this is the closest premier league pool we've had so far (?) three and a half rounds left and the 1st place race is still wide open, nail-biting end of the season!

anyway, i'm gonna go celebrate Real madrid's league title! Grin cheers and good luck guys 💪
You got the yellow cap for this weeks pool play just by the looks of the top few on the leaderboard and the scoreline(s) they picked.
Those correct scores do really make the different as from I understand those give you the slam points which determines the winners if it is so close like it is for this week.

This year does seem too close to call who will win it. Because those being in the top 10 will have a shot at first place in the pool with Manchester city having four matches left in their season so Liverpool is the only one who has a shot at first place in the league.

Nobody says he is a crypto expert. Far from it!
But he does know future technology and definitely knows how to utilize it in ways that many can not accomplish in their life times.
As @Welsh has mentioned in their posts:
He knows how to think outside the box and it allows him to advance whatever companies he leads towards their goals at an accelerated rate.

Now if he can just do this for cryptocurrenies we would be at $100k per BTC by now!

No, I'm watching it in the city game, but it seems a complete surprise to me that Wolverhampton lose by 3 goals at home against Brighton.
I did not see the liverpool game but although it ended 1 - 0 I see that Liverpool dominated the entire game and the figure of Newcastle was their goalkeeper.

The city-leeds can be a 5-3 like a 5-0
Fairly close in the score. It ended 4-0 without any hesitation from city in this match. They just kept putting them in the back of the net without any opposition from the Leeds keeper.
Had 5-1 and gave Leeds the benefit of the doubt to put atleast one in and it came close near the end of the match. But Ederson was just too good today.

Looks like Norwich has accepted they will get relegated from the way the bottom of the table is now with Watford needing to win their next 4 games to stay in the premier league for next season. But the announcers of the match were saying Norwich will be playing the champions league and will be keeping their current manager on the trip back to that league next season.
So it sounds like a done deal.
2873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 30, 2022, 04:28:56 PM
Wasn't that just an unbelievable lost in the two matches that ended with the two away sides scoring twice in a row while the two home sides were leading 1-0 at half time?
Too see Crystal palace scoring the two with Zaha just coming on was a shock but to see Watford losing the way they did was even more devastating way to lose giving up two goals just minutes apart with 10 minutes left of the match.
Heartbreaking ways to lose in both these matches.

He is not only an influencer, not only one of the richest people in the world. He is still a businessman that will think about money that he can agin.
And tweeting about Bitcoin and maybe another cryptocurrency, he always knows that what he tweets always attract the world's attention. That is why it may be one of the strategies to make Bitcoin more accepted in the world, or for pumping the price and otehrs? ANd the last or end result is about ganing more profits and money.
He officially is the richest man in the world with this acquisition of yet another fully developed company to add to his collect of successful ones.
I think SpaceX has a more broader reach than Bezos and Branson's and Tesla is also a household name when it comes to electric cars.
He also has implemented payments via Doge coin for subscriptions to the Twitter Blue service which authenticates users automatically and gives them added features on the platform.

Also covered on Yahoo! News for anyone who would rather avoid that other site.

It's a nice gesture.  I'd assume the funds raised from sales of seized goods would normally go into public services for that nation, but Finland already has a fairly high standard of living when compared to some other places in Europe.  Guess they don't need the extra money right now.
With these donations you wouldn't think either countries need the help.
Finland and Sweden have just said today they are going to be joining the war efforts for Ukraine now even without needing membership with nato.

Thanks @delfastTions for the post about how Miami is the most crypto-friendly city in the states since they had hosted the bitcoin conference there a couple of weeks ago and the mayor also put up a statue to commemorate the occasion shown here:

Didn't know about the Mercedes partnership with FTX giving those kind of NFTs so it makes it alot more interesting the way they are distributing them for sure.

Chelsea's attackers were terrible, and Manchester United's defense is very easy to break down, but De Gea is a difficult goalkeeper to beat; he made some incredible saves today. After about 17 appearances, Ronaldo scored his first EPL goal against Chelsea

The lack of a clinical finisher is the only reason we shared a point tonight; we should have led at least 4-0 in games like this; we dominated the entire game; the only reason Manchester City and Liverpool are ahead of us is that they both have good finishers, whereas we rely on defenders to win games. I can't wait for the new owner to join the team and support the coach this summer. Next season, we must close the gap between Liverpool and Manchester City.
I don't know exactly with this result, is MU's defense is very good or attacker Chelsea is bad?, when I look at the statistic, the ball position is leaning toward to Chelsea, MU uses a counter-attack strategy and tend to survive maybe because they have weakness on front and can not confrontation with Chelsea defender. The midfielder also has difficulty supplying the ball to the forward, so if this keeps happening, we can't see new coach Tan Hag in the next champions league.
A unbelievable statistic when I heard that CR7 hadn't scored against Chelsea before. I am guessing that is in all competition since he was at Juventus for several years.
Even more so was that in the previous four encounters with Manchester United they all ended in a draw.
This should of been an easy prediction to make if you placed a wager on the match.

I liked how you put kidnapped for the user base on twitter.
They can suspend or just stop using the platform if they want.
And many have in a way to protest the change of ownership.
Don't think it will matter because with the news coming out of it they have added 30 million new users.
Whether those be authentic actual real users, that would need to be decided when Musk's implementations actually do take effect.
2879  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some recent tweets by Elon Musk showing he is starting to warm up to Bitcoin? on: April 29, 2022, 02:14:00 AM
If he ends up spending around 50 billion dollars just for twitter, would that be one of the highest bids for a social media company ever? I mean there are companies that worth more, namely facebook (meta) owns instagram and whatsapp as well, but never bought them for that high, they are just owned by the founder mark as well so even though it is valued higher, I do not remember an acquisition this big before.

To be fair, I do not remember many 50 billion dollar purchases of anything that easily, that is like a nation level purchase and not a person level one. Would be weird to see, I have zero idea if it will be better or worse, he is unpredictable that way.
He didn't spend it all for this acquisition from his own pocket but took out two huge loans given out by a couple of Canadian banks and actually sold one for one tesla shares he held so to be able to put in such a bid for the company.
Think I heard it is 20% of his worth to put up the funds so to buy them out.
What is he doing right now?
Saying things such as: "I am thinking about buying more American companies .."
