"Brooklyn Nets reportedly asked for Jaylen Brown AND Jayson Tatum for Kevin Durant. " Most celtics fans already hated the previous report of Jaylen Brown + picks for Kevin Durant and with these recent reports. I'd say if it goes through, there'll be riots across Boston. Seems very unlikely that this goes through.

I don't think that Brad Stevens will like this idea TBH.
We know that Stevens has been the coach of the Celtics for years and he knows the capabilities of these 2 all-stars. I believe that he will not trade these young players for Durant or worst case, he might trade one of them plus picks and some rotational players. I think it would be better for the Celtics to just stay the roster as it is. Let the core players stay like what the Warriors are doing and just get some rotational or bench players.

The Nets are asking too much with other teams hoping that they will benefit more with the trades that's why until now, they can't get a perfect trade with other teams. On the other hand, they might be doing this because they really don't want Durant to leave the team and they want Durant and Irving to stay with the Nets.

Grabe, napaka-unpredictable ng semis na to. Yong Bolts na akala ng nakakarami ay wala ng pag-asa na manalo ay tumabla pa sa series at yong Magnolia naman na akalain natin ay may palag sa TNT, siya pa naman yong tinambakan, pero congrats pa rin sa mga supporters nila dahil kung may natatalo mayroon din namang nanalo sa kabilang banda.
Yung sa SMB-Meralco, hindi surprising na tinalo ng Bolts ang Beermen dahil sa dalawang talo ng Beermen sa eliminations, isa dun ay galing sa Meralco kaya alam mo na capable silang talunin ang SMB.

Yung Magnolia-TNT ang nagulat ako dahil maganda pa yung laban nila sa first half at saka hindi nila pinaiskor si Mikey Williams ng first half. Naging delubyo nga lang nung dumating na yung second half. Bumulusok kaagad yung mga scorers ng TNT kasama si Mikey Williams, natawagan pa ng 5th personal foul si Abueva sa kalagitnaan ng 3rd quarter at unti-unting lumayo ang TNT hanggang sa di na nakahabol ang Hotshots. Ngayon 3-1 na sila samantalang 2-2 sa kabila.

I agree with what you said that Bitcoin when it is at $17K is the best time coins.
The question now is, did you buy some?

I'm pretty sure only few bought Bitcoin when it is at that price range because they are covered with fear. Fear that it will go down furthermore and the ones who are feeling like this are the newbie ones. There are some investors on the other hand, are waiting for Bitcoin to reach the $10K price range but it didn't happen.

Today BTC moves are more bullish than ever, my chart says we going to 27-28k and many people are waiting for 10k BTC, I think charts don't lie like people do, if a bearish signal is coming your chart will tell you but sitting on your hands and hoping for a satisfying buy price can leave you with many regrets.
More bullish than ever? I disagree with that
Your chart says we are going to $27K-$28K? Can you please share it here because I will not agree with what you said if you don't have proof.
For me, just focus on dollar-cost averaging instead of waiting for a particular price. Waiting for a specific price will just leave you with regrets like what you said. Just do DCA and you're fine Smiley.

We have the game 4 odds already.

SMB -6.5
TBH, I'm going with Meralco this time. I believe that they will take Game 4 though there is always a chance that SMB will win and cover this spread though I don't believe it will happen because in the last 2 games between these 2 teams, the winner won by double digits and it's only in Game 3 that the lead is only a single digit. Well, let's see as the game will start in ~45 minutes from now.

Hotshots +2.5 ( This one is really interesting, after listed as +5.5 underdog in game 3, they are now only +2.5, so something is fishy here)
My guess, Magnolia will likely win here and even the series.
After what happened in Game 3, the cover is now +2.5 and I think it's good since we know that the Hotshots are capable of winning against TNT. Game 3 was a hard fought match and either team will take the lead. Magnolia almost got it but the last shot of Castro really went in and that sealed the deal. Let's enjoy while watching the games later Smiley.

I've seen numerous posts in Facebook regarding Pi Mainnet. There are some in my country who are trading Pi coins with each other and there are some who are using it to buy some goods like rice or anything in the store.

I mean that's pure stupidity if you will ask me. The project has been there for a long time, users of the Pi app in android are constantly mining and until now, the coin has still no value yet. These so-called miners who aren't really mining at first place are the ones who are setting the value of that Pi coin which is worst than memecoins if you will ask me.

I wonder how many Pi coins have been mined virtually by these so-called miners. I still remember the time where there are some users in Facebook saying that this Pi coin will reach 100$ in the future and in the end of their post, they will post their referral link Cheesy. I'm curious why there are still people who are constantly believing that this Pi project will be a successful one Cheesy.

I read an article recently about the GSW management interview regarding Draymond Green possible trade since GSW has a lot to handle in there plate while Green is demanding a max contractthat will last up to 10yrs. The management is considering Green age will not give them the best benefit later on if they allow his request. They are looking for potential trade with Aaron Gordon since Gordon is still young and has a lotof room for improvement. Is this unfair to Green once this trade proceed?
I believe 10 years on a contract is a long time for Draymond Green, despite him being an important player for the Warriors I don't know if that would be worth the risk, despite he is already 32 years old.

But weren't there rumors that Green would sign a 5-year contract with Warriors?
The longest contracts that has been given to a player are James Harden when he was in the Rockets and Damian Lillard. The contract was 6 years base on this article. It was posted in 2020 though but I didn't get any news that any player got a contract longer than 6 years in the span of 2 years.

I know how important Green is in the Warriors and he is one of their best defenders but to ask for a 10-year contract? I don't know if it will happen because the Warriors will not get any benefit from it in the long run. That's too much I think and the Warriors can't even give him a max contract (for now). He is 32 years old and a few years from now, he will be in the post-prime period and his performance will slowly decrease thus, it will not help the Warriors so it's a no-no for me and maybe it would be better for the Warriors if they will just trade him if Green will push what he wants. Kinda hurt but it would be beneficial to the Warriors management.
2887  Local / Pamilihan / Re: PBA Prediction Tournament [7.5k php in BTC prize pool] on: August 10, 2022, 02:41:53 AM
Meralco Bolts +6.5
Magnolia Hotshots +2.5

Expected ko na babawi ang Meralco at Magnolia pagkatapos ng talo nila noong Game 3 kaya sila ang pipiliin ko ngayon. Good Luck at i-enjoy natin ung laro Smiley

How to Upload Audio at somewhere and share the link in Bitcointalk
I hope this is suitable

I think this is a useless tutorial for Beginners & Help board because it has absolutely nothing to do with the bitcointalk forum or cryptocurrencies. You can basically post a link to anything you want and I don't think anyone needs a tutorial for that.

Too harsh for me. I'm pretty sure that there are still a number of people here that will benefit from the tutorial that the OP has posted, in some ways.

Anyway, I've been in the forum for nearly 5 years already but even once, I didn't see any audio uploaded here because it isn't supported maybe like what others are saying and TBH, I find watching videos more convenient than just hearing it in an audio (unless it is a music of course). Still, 10 for the effort, but in terms of how many people here in the forum will benefit from this, not much.

nabalitaan mo na ba yung strategy na ginawa ng PHA nung Castle Siege nung sunday, ang balita ko di pina talon ng OHA sa ibang server yung isang core player ng CN alliance para di makatulong sa Castle Siege?

anyway, regarding dun sa pinapilot ni bembol, ang sakit sa pakiramdam nung nabasag yung tierIV na epic secondary weapon dahil sa lag at bug.
Tungkol doon sa hindi pinatalon, oo kalat na kalat un sa mga MIR4 Pages. Hindi nila pinatalon si Jet Fighter na isa sa mga core players ng CHN alliance.

Ganito ung ginawa nila sa mga hindi nakakaalam. Kapag tatalon ka kasi ng isang server, dapat malinis ung mailbox mo meaning wala kang nareresib na incoming mails at kung may mails ka na nareresib, hindi ka makakatalon. Ngayon ang ginawa ng PHA ay nag-spam ng mails kay Jet Fighter para hindi makatalon. Kapag triny nyang idelete lahat ng yun, useless lang din kasi patuloy ang pagdating ng mails sa kanya. Nagpatuloy yun hanggang sa nag-start na ung Castle Siege. Yun ang dahilan kaya hindi siya nakatalon at nakatulong sa Castle Siege.

Sa totoo lang masasabi ko un na strategy na may kaunting kaduwagan pero masisisi ba natin ang PHA eh Jet Fighter un na isa sa may pinakamataas na PS sa laro.

Tungkol naman dun sa Epic Secondary Weapon na nabasag, pindot kasi ng pindot si Bembol at nag-lag kaya nag +5 tapos inulit nya at dun nabasag. Sa tingin ko nag-file na sila ng report dun pero sa tingin ko rin may kasalanan ang ISP rin dun kasi bigla biglang nag-lalag. Mukhang all goods naman ang lahat sa kanila at mababawi naman niya un mala-cash naman un Cheesy.
2890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: August 09, 2022, 07:10:07 AM
You will agree with me that society and the environment can have a great influence on the lifestyle of every individual, you often can find yourself doing, or being involved in that activity that almost everyone is involved with in that your locale as a result of influence. Now considering someone who is a gambling addict, is there any possibility of him/her becoming better if they are relocated to another environment or society where people around are not involved in gambling?
Yes.

There are times that the main reason why a particular person is gambling is peer pressure. He isn't gambling at first but because of the pressure coming from his friends, they pushed him to gamble and when he find it very entertaining and at the same time he wins on it then it will continue and that is the start of him getting addicted to gambling. Now if he will be relocated and will go to a place where there is no casinos to gamble with then he will gradually change especially his attitudes and he might return to his actual self before he was involved into gambling.

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?
I think it still depends on the situation.

There are some gambling addicts who are stopping whenever they can't find any casinos nearby but there are some especially those who has a high level of addiction that will find any way just to let them do what they want to do which is gambling. Now that we are in a digital era where you can gamble with the use of smartphones, a gambler might try to gamble online if he can't find any casinos nearby so there is still a chance that he might be addicted of gambling even when no one around gambles with the help of smartphone and internet.
2891  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Prompt safe staking with good APY on: August 09, 2022, 02:53:50 AM
Good afternoon, everyone, no matter how I tried to find entertainment for myself in this market, I can’t do anything, I even started trading with leverage, etc. I lost a lot of money in such a bear market and I want to calm down a little, I heard that there are options to earn big money on bets in different liquidity pools and staking, I want to know where you can find a platform that will show the best percentages for betting and liquidity. It is desirable that a verified site or platform, otherwise it was enough for me to get into a couple of scam pools and I no longer want to lose my money, if there are options with different percentages I will be glad to see and read thanks

I think you really need to calm down a little because with your post, I believe that you are experiencing anxiety with what happened to you but this is just my personal feelings and I think I'm incorrect Tongue.

Anyway, yes you can earn in liquidity pools and staking but it isn't big or it depends on some factors.

Being a liquidity provider has some risk because there is a chance that one or both of the coins that you put into the pool might lose their value thus, the amount of tokens you are getting being a liquidity provider isn't enough to cover your losses. I've been a liquidity provider in Katana (Axie Infinity) for more than half a year already and TBH, the amount of tokens that I got isn't enough to cover the losses that I got when I started. It might happen to you as well if you will not make an in-depth research. Now with regards to the percentages, I can't give any particular website but maybe some can give you here or you can just make a quick google search in the most popular liquidity pools out there and you will find one.

Now with regards to staking, yes you can earn money on that as well but it isn't that much. Some staking coins give as low as 1% to as high as 15% or even higher annually depending on the coin you chose to stake. What can I say is that if you want to stake, choose those top staking coins. Less risky but lesser reward as well. It's your choice still. You can find some staking coins here: https://www.stakingrewards.com/

A whole computer set with a computer table.
It was back in 2018 where I converted all my Bitcoin holdings just to buy a computer set. If I remember correctly, I spent around 0.1-0.15 Bitcoin just to buy the whole set plus the table. It was around $3400-$3500 when I converted it into our own currency.

Until now there is a bit of regret into my mind and asking "What if I didn't bought that computer set and table now? I might buy more and better computer set this year 2022." but what's done is done and the only thing that I can do is to move on and think about the future.

In a meeting with Nets owner Joe Tsai, Kevin Durant reiterated his trade request and informed Tsai that Tsai needs to choose between Durant or the pairing of general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash.
So, how is KD going to get a coach fired who, he himself handpicked? haha. I guess he's done that before.
So Durant now is higher than the owner of the Nets then to the point that he will issue ultimatums like this Cheesy.
Apparently hours after it has been released, the owner Joe Tsai twitted this: LINK
Quote
Our front office and coaching staff have my support. We will make decisions in the best interest of the Brooklyn Nets.

With this tweet, I think the Nets will do everything and will accept trade packages just to trade Durant. Durant is like a crybaby TBH and he thinks that he is the authority within the management. If the management are happier with letting Nash and Marks stay then just trade KD and it's done. It's so disrespectful that you are under a contract with a team and yet, you will make them decide which of you will let you stay.

Anyone heard about this story though?

Quote
   They're having a team chat before Game 4, thinking he's going to play against the Celtics. From what I'm told, Ben just left the chat. They asked him "Are you going to play?". Ben left the chat. Like he didn't even answer the question, just left the chat.

    KD's like "This is what I signed up for? This is who I'm playing with?"

https://fadeawayworld.net/nba-media/kevin-durant-was-frustrated-with-ben-simmons-after-he-didnt-respond-and-left-nets-group-chat-after-being-asked-if-he-would-play-in-game-4-says-nba-insider

If this is true, then I speculate that KD doesn't want to play with Ben and his antics (but he did with Kyrie Irving saga).
Unprofessionalism at it's highest (if this is true).

This is what the Nets got for James Harden. Many are saying that the Nets won in the Nets-Sixers trade but if this is true, I think that the Sixers won the trade. I mean you exchanged a scorer and a passer to a player who doesn't know how to shoot and very unprofessional. He is capable to play against the Nets but because of injuries, he didn't play and left the chat Cheesy. I understand the frustration of Durant and even I will be frustrated if I'm in Durant's shoes.

I'm not expecting too much with Simmons anymore though we know that he is an all-star player. The dramas, his shooting problem, his attitude. I'm just hoping that Simmons will develop more skills and will come back next season with some new developments that will cause his bashers to shut their mouth. KD might not want to play with Ben if Kyrie is out with the team but with what is happening, it seems like they will play as one team with the Nets. I hope that the management will do something with these problems of Simmons.
2895  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth could take over BTC or not on: August 08, 2022, 03:24:43 AM
Let's make a quick math.
With the current marketcap of Bitcoin, divide it by the current circulating supply of Ethereum, you will get $3,709.73 so in order for Ethereum to be higher than Bitcoin in terms of market cap, Ethereum's price must be higher than $3,709. Do you expect Ethereum to jump more than twice just because it converts from a POW to POS?

Let's be realistic. It will not happen and I believe it will never happen. Ethereum's price movement is still depends on how Bitcoin moves so don't think that Ethereum will take over Bitcoin just because of one single update. There is no guarantee as well that Ethereum's price will jump after the update/s.

There are some aspects where Ethereum is better than Bitcoin and vice-versa but in terms of market cap, no one can take over Bitcoin.
2896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 08, 2022, 03:08:08 AM
The KD swap is in a stalemate. I don't think we should be too optimistic about Durant being traded any time soon. The Nets want to include a third or fourth team in the trade to facilitate the deal but are trying to slow things down by making tough demands on the star player. I think the point here is to intimidate Durant into withdrawing the trade. However, by doing so it will be impossible to expect a yield from Durant in the season.
I'm thinking about this for quite some time already and TBH, there is a chance that we will see Durant, Irving and Simmons who is coming back to play in one team and that is the Nets and if that happens, maybe they might enter the playoffs again. I mean the 2 all-star is intact and they added Simmons which is a former all-star who is afraid of shooting Cheesy.

Durant only requested a trade because Irving wanted to be out of Brooklyn so if Irving will stay in Brooklyn, Durant will withdraw the trade thus, they will stay in one team.
2897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 08, 2022, 02:48:30 AM
I have noticed that both teams have their players not on their usual performance last night:

TNT = Mikey Williams
Magnolia = Paul Lee

But Mikey Williams still have the good numbers last night and he's not known for having 2 straight games at worst. Paul Lee on the other hand seems not on his usual playing level. He was even considered "dinadaga" in Pinoy terms on that Game 3 match where he is not supposed to feel that.
This just shows that the defense of Magnolia against Williams is effective because they don't let him do what he usually does which is to just shot everywhere. On the other hand, Williams made some adjustments and instead of being an offensive one who always shoots, he is more of a passer in Game 3 and got 10 assists. He made an adjustment since he knows that the Hotshots will not let him shoot that easily.

On the other hand, Paul Lee is having a hard time "again". I said again because he isn't consistent. They need him offensively and yet he can't make himself consistent. Even Snow Badua is saying that they must trade him already because of his inconsistency. In the last seconds of the game, he even shot the ball way far than expected. He can still make a few steps near the ring and make a higher percentage shot but he choose to shoot it way far thus, it missed. I hope that he will do something to score even more in Game 4 or they might lose to TNT this series.

Overall, the game was an exciting one and that is what I want to watch more often in PBA and not those one-sided matches.

Buy only if you thinks that crypto will go up in a few years. If you are doing DCA then at all means, buy as long as you have spare money. Buy if you believe that cryptocurrencies will go up. Buy only if you know what you are buying.

Sell if you believe that cryptocurrencies will go down soon. Sell if you are in need of money for personal purposes. Sell if you don't want to take risk and choose another asset to invest your money with.

Hodl if you believe that cryptocurrencies are the future. Hodl if you believe that cryptocurrencies will go up. Hodl even though you are at an impermanent loss right now. Hold and accumulate even more when the market is down.

2900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I have started teaching Bitcoin to my Neighbors on: August 06, 2022, 02:35:08 AM
But I have a suggestion for you. One of my teachers said:
The best way to learn is "learning through videos."
This is a subjective one.
People learn with the help of reading the articles, some learn from newspapers, some learn from books, some learn thru videos etc. etc. I don't like the fact that you consider "learning thru videos" as the best one because all of the them are considered best. It just depends on the preferences of the people.

I like the initiative of teaching people Bitcoin. In this way, many people will be encouraged to used Bitcoin or at least invest into it. On the other hand, I've seen some small mistakes.

Bitcoin was created/invented in 2008 not 2009.
Bitcoin as a tool to pay bills is not applicable to all countries around the world. You can't use Bitcoin directly to pay bills but you can convert it into your own currency and use it to pay bills.
Trading considered as a business? I don't know but is it considered a business? Can any trader answer this one Smiley. I'll be happy since I'm not sure too.
Bitcoin as a job? I only agree with this one if you are a freelancer and you are being paid with Bitcoin but aside from that, I disagree.

Anyway, it is just small mistakes that a newbie like me saw and don't take what I said as a way to criticize your initiative. I always like people who are teaching anything about Bitcoin and crypto and I always want to do the same thing (if not only for my speech defect Sad). Just continue what you are doing, take what we said here as constructive criticisms and I hope you will help many people in what you are doing.

~
what I was doing with bitcoins and their parents said that even though I am not employed or unemployed, I can still pay my monthly billings, rental house, internet bill, electricity, and water bill within 6 years.
We are almost the same that are unemployed, I'm also unemployed since I graduated in College last 2017 (even though I worked in a government for around 8 months only), I'm also capable in paying the monthly billings here in our home.

The beauty of it is that before the end of our bitcoin session, the five of them agreed that every twice a month there will be a small home party session here at my house.
I hope that you will keep your private keys in the safest place possible because it's your home. I'm not against it but it's just a precaution just incase somebody will try and steal your coins. You might trust them now but anything can change when it comes to money Wink.

So my only request to the other members here in this forum is to teach me what can be taught to them that I may not know at the moment, although I am not an expert here but only basic thing about bitcoin that I share with my acquaintances here in the community I'm in. So you are free to provide additional knowledge on this matter and I am willing to accept it because I am also one of those who are still learning about bitcoin.
Watch documentaries on Youtube. That's what I did when I'm starting. I always watch Youtube documentaries regarding Bitcoin and every video, I watch it twice or even thrice on some videos. There are other ways obviously but watching YouTube documentaries is what helped me learn more about Bitcoin.
