To me both look good, investing in gold first or BTC later, but I'm confused by the current market conditions especially in terms of ROI, who is the fastest to move on?
Why not both? People always scream one way or another, and in reality both people are right. Diversifying between asset classes is always the smart play. Reduces your downside risk being in just one, while being able to catch any raises in another. Not which one, it's both. |

Let's skip for now the discussion about the issue of being "delayed" on any information or updates regarding this fight. What's your input and feedback guys about Danny Garcia's recent statement that Errol Spence Jr. is too strong for Terence Crawford. When we say "too strong" it means he views the fight as a landslide victory in favor of Spence. I respect his view and even though I'm looking forward to Spence winning at this mega-bout, saying Spence is too much for Crawford is like underestimating the latter. Errol Spence "too strong" for Terence Crawford says Danny GarciaI guess if there is one boxer that we can take his opinion, that is Shawn Porter Jr. He has fought both fighters in their prime. And mind you, Porter beat Danny Garcia so we all know what level Danny Garcia is, hehehe. In any case, if you seen Spence in his last fight against Ugas, yeah he is really strong, he even talks about moving up in 154 lbs wherein I think Crawford can't make that weight without sacrificing anything (speed, height, power). I guess it goes down as to who has the better IQ and good chin in this fight.  Well he can't sacrifice height 😅, but i get what you are saying. Crawford is perfect for his weight class, at this point of his career there is no need to move up in weight class. Some people's body afford for jumping up and down in classes but Crawford is at the end of his career why would he want to do that unless it's for one last fight to sneak in one more class before he splits. |

Teams are still still actively pursuing Durant, the last time I check is Phoenix, Heat and Utah.
Phoenix cannot afford Durant now that they resigned Ayton. Utah is still a possibility, but I doubt Durant has interest in Utah once they trade Donovan Mitchell. Miami may be the only suitor for Durant if they could get a deal done that doesn't include Jimmy Butler or Bam. I doubt Utah wants Durant they would have to give up all the picks they just got from Minnesota. Utah is in full tank mode trying to get as many picks as they can like okc did to start from scratch. Durant doesn't move the needle for them they gave up once they traded gobert. |

Wow James Harden did it. He declined the 47 million dollars option in his existed contract and made a new one for 33 million dollars. Only to give Philadelphia 76ers room to get better players. I've written it before but once it is almost official, I still can't believe it. This is so cool! I don't remember anyone who does that before 35 years old. And for the 2023 - 2024 season he has an option for 35 million. Especially after this development, I really wish 76ers can get some good players and have a solid team and get to at least conference finals this season. With Embid and Harden, they have a very good core. Just need some role players that they can depend on. It seems like they will be the team I will be rooting for this season? Yes, almost there.
I don't think many basketball players would accept a salary cut to benefit their team. The sacrifice he made is really nice, I hope it will be of use to the team. Harden is still one of the best players in the league, and in fact, by refusing that money, he will probably stay a star player for a few more seasons. He had enough problems last season already and we thought he was going to play in Philadelphia There are only a few who do that in order to make their team better, James Harden is a good example though. Well, he is reach enough because had some huge contract in the past and if he utilize his money well, then money is not a problem for him now. Don't kid yourself Harden wasn't getting another big contract after this one. It just stretches out the money for him, he isn't taking a pay cut so to speak. The second year is his option too so if somehow he has an mvp type year he can leverage it to even more by opting put then resigning. It's just posturing himself he is no "savior" lol. |

Arguably, the most significant driver of Bitcoin value is its future price speculation. There have been several speculations of BTC price by top crypto influencers, while some have come to pass but it appears that the 100k price milestone appears elusive.
The $60k prediction came to pass but BTC has since lost more than 65% of its ATH price.
Do you think that BTC will ever rise to and above 100k in the near future? Wil it be before or after the next Bitcoin halving or this price would never come?
What's your opinion?
Probably should post this in bitcoin and not altcoin speculation but in general yeah. I don't think anyone doesn't see 100k in bitcoins future. So it lost a significant value. Go look at all past rises and falls. It always comes out significantly higher than the last time. My guess is next run floats bitcoin up to 200-300k. |

If you had to choose one, would it be Ape or Sand ?
Odd couple but ok let's do this: Apecoin basically another ex coin, they are a dime a dozen some might hitost of them will falter. Sand, story has yet to be told on metaverse coins. I mean they were starting to run at the end of the last bull run. Will they drive the next one who knows. Why not just stick your money in btc for now and see which one survives if any then stick your money into it. |

Well for those who want to hear what Crawford says about this fight, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y2CufWpkw8And I would say that I will be positive that this fight is going to happen sooner than we all think. By the way I read Spence expressions and body language, there have been talks in the background that he can't tell right now because they are still working on it. Thanks for the link, yeah if u read between the lines it's probably just the business side that needs to be worked out. Can't remember a fight in the last 3-4 years that I wanted to see than this one. Haven't bought a ppv in a bit if they announce this one I'm buying it. Should be a dog fight. |

Yeah this really just seemed inevitable. Seattle is definitely imo the best place he could end up and the team who needs his services the most, but as you point out the Niners are not going to be keen to sending their division rival someone who could help them compete against them. Had Washington not gotten Wentz that would have been a good landing spot. The Falcons definitely need a QB. Would you want him in NY? Nope. If Danny dimes doesn't do anything this year giants will probably be in the toilet bowl again and next years qb class has got a couple ringers. I'd rather they draft then go for Alex Smith 2.0 That’s a good point I don’t know what I was thinking even suggesting or questioning it. He offers very little upside long term and is likely to only get you maybe a win or two more than current QB , plus I guess you gotta give Danny d one more go at it just to be sure (but let’s be honest he’s a backup somewhere sooner than later). I also have never known NFL games to be free on the NFL App. I'm not disagreeing with you at all. It's honestly a perfect situation in that if he sucks they get a high draft pick in a loaded qb class needing a qb. If he shows he is the starter for the next 3-5 years then great that was the goal anyway. Either this is another season as a giant fan where ima just enjoy my fantasy team 😂 |

Word on the street is that the Lakers just offered Jamal Crawford a 1-year contract. Crawford is one of the best sixth man to ever play in the NBA and a relentless scorer. I could see him coming off the bench for a few good moments when they need a bucket. He’s old, but many NBA players were surprised he didn’t have a contract last year, as he’s still one of the better players in the league.
Hmm, not sure about this though, is the Lakers not learned from last year's debacle? I mean getting old and veterans players? and it didn't click right? No doubt that Crawford can play and one of the best cross over during his prime, but I'm not sure if they still need a guy like him and to be a scorer? He is not a good defender as well so honestly, I will be baffled if they get him. As a knick fan I love me some Jamal Crawford but I tend to agree. There are plenty of vets that can still ball but in the backcourt position if you are a step slow on defense than in your earlier years it diminishes your value. Outside of a select few this is a young man's game and I want mobile guards for sure. Lakers trying to do anything they can if they sign Crawford up. |

The Knicks have the best package for him but Danny ainge is trying to fleece them. The Knicks have like 12 firs round picks in the next 7 or so years. Ainge wants like 6 or 7 first round picks PLUS our youth in grimes, iq and obi. I hope new york hung up on him immediately. As a knick fan I'd love donovan but we'd have an incredibly small backcourt in mitchell and brunson, and losing all that capital, nah. I'd run the squad as is and keep building. Ainge is off his rocker.
wow, that is just way too much. Are they overestimating the value of Donovan Mitchell? Knicks will be trading away their future if they give in to that. On the one hand, I agree that the Heat should improve the roster, and Kevin Durant would still be a priority target for their management. On the other hand, the Heat have already had good results in the playoffs over the past few seasons, and it means that the Heat management would obviously be making a big mistake if they decided to trade a lot of role players just for Durant.
They have good results, but it is just not enough though. They need one more star to push them into a Championship or at least to the finals. The East is a tough competition right now with Celtics stars at their peak and Bucks still a force to reckon. But you are right, it just does not feel right to throw away your built chemistry and role players for Durant. And Nets will not let go of Durant without getting the value they want. Well because the tberwolves gave up 4 or 5 first round picks for gobert he is looking for the same or more for donovan. Can't blame the guy but dam that along with our young players pretty much means you are all in. And with that squad it's not like they will be title contenders every year now. Would be a solid starting 5 though Pg: brunson Sg: donovan Sf: rj barrett Pf: Julius C: big mitch |

So far I'm hearing the Miami Heat is on the move targeting either KD or Mitchell. I hope the Heat acquires either one of them.
If the Heat would want their team better, they should sign Durant instead of Mitchell. Although Mitchell is a superstar but he does not have a championship DNA and has not proven anything yet as Jazz under his leadership has not reach the NBA finals yet. The latest word is that Mitchell may be headed to the New York Knicks. Although I can’t imagine the Knicks landing a player like him. The more time that passes, the more I think we might actually see KD in Brooklyn next year with Kyrie and Ben Simmons. I don’t think the Nets will trade just one without the other, so all eyes are on what the Lakers will do with Russell Westbrook. The Knicks have the best package for him but Danny ainge is trying to fleece them. The Knicks have like 12 firs round picks in the next 7 or so years. Ainge wants like 6 or 7 first round picks PLUS our youth in grimes, iq and obi. I hope new york hung up on him immediately.

I read an interesting post moments ago about none of the active NBA players has ever faced the Sacramento Kings in the playoffs. We always talked about the top teams but never really noticed how long it has been since they reached the top-8. They used to be a powerhouse in the Western Conference and a huge thorn to Lakers' Bryant and O'Neal duo or to Duncan's Spurs.
Yeah, still remember that, early 2000's if I'm not mistaken. Prime CWebb and then Divac to hound Shaq, Doug Christie matching against Kobe in defense, Peja and Hedo, their perimeter shooter, Mike Bibby one of the best point guard during that time. So yeah they are really a powerhouse back then, unfortunately, the Lakers and Spurs are also in their prime with great team. Unfortunately, that was the last time that we have seen Sacramento that great and probably will take another decade to built a competitive team in the West. (Opps, accidentally exposing my age,  ) You missed the one player that everyone watched the kings for, white chocolate! Seriously for anyone who has never seen Jason Williams ball, please do yourself a favor and youtube jwill highlights. Knick fan but when knicks weren't involved I couldn't help but watch and root for the kings. Loved watching this kid bring street ball to the nba. |

Anyone else annoyed with the whole Donovan Mitchell situation yet lol. As a knick fan I hope they dont throw tons of youth and picks for him. Spida good but can't mortgage the future for one piece. Utah is asking for like 6 first round picks and grimes, iq, obi, etc. Crazy

Down the road into a bear market what can a new miner except from a 500MH mining farm? How incredibly bad can this get? 5$? 8$? Asking those who are here before in 2018 so I can know what's awaiting me.
Lol if you are asking if crypto can straight slap ypu in the face it can ha! Seriously there is no telling how bad prices and/or profitability of mining will get. In 2015 it was straight brutal but those who stuck it out got paid nicely, same with other cycles. Will this one be the same...maybe? Honest answer is don't expect profits and just be gladly surprised if you do profit. Have fun with it and be part of history. Who knows.. |

Well, we are seeing what is MATIC doing in the crypto market these days. Do you guys think ADA can also do that in the coming days?
I mean are you really looking for a short term answer to this? No one has a crypto crystal ball trust me especially with alts. Sometimes things push higher or lower with no rhyme or reason. Overall I think the market still has some slide in it for sure so I would saw nah ada won't get the pump matic just seen. |

It really seems to me that Spence was literally playing the game against Crawford while the latter is still hot and ripe, I get that Spence was trying to be tough and all to maintain his posture and of course the hype. But he cannot really hide his true agenda that he is still trying to duck and avoid all these time because Crawford is much more superior than him this time. It's been a while since they both confirmed that both camps are talking and trying to reach an agreement to have an undisputed this October in Las Vegas but when Crawford was interviewed by Showtime Sports yesterday, he said that they are still trying to reach an agreement with Spence and still trying to determine a date and place. Crawford on if there’s any news on a hotly anticipated fight with Errol Spence:
"Not really. Nothing’s really set in stone or any dates or anything thus far, but we definitely working on that fight to happen."
https://www.badlefthook.com/2022/7/20/23271230/terence-crawford-talks-potential-fights-against-errol-spence-jaron-ennis-and-more-boxing-news-2022Boxing fans, will surely be disappointed if the fight are not going to happen this year, or at least being derailed because Spence is stalling the fight so that he can have advantage of Crawford getting older. We have discussed to death about the purse split and the PPv numbers and who will be the A-side. And we all agree that Spence should get the lion share. But if he is the one that doesn't want to make the fight this year, then for sure it will back fire on him and will criticized for waiting to long before agreeing to this fight. Yeah no clue why it hasn't come together at this point. This is the fight not just us want to see but the boxing world wants to see. Best versus the best right. They can argue about purse until they are blue in the face but it seems there is more holding this up than just purse. |

I think Lebron making a big deal out of drew league is not as much of a thing as we think it is. He probably had a little vacation and didn't want to stay at home and that was about it. I do not think that it was anything more than that. Of course it could be to get in shape, btu he could have done that in a much less competitive way, this dude is not just playing basketball in the nba because he wants to make money, of course he is a genius level business person and he made a ton of money so far, but he doesn't care about that anymore if you ask me, being the best basketball player for a few more years wouldn't be that important. I think he just plays because he loves the game so much, like he could continue to play until he is 50 if the teams still get him, and thats the main reason he is in the drew league as well.
Drew league is like Rucker. Every baller wants to play there. It's been a pilgrimage for many nba'ers. At the heart of it these guys are all ballers, they just want to play. And making your mark at Drew is something every baller has on theor bucket list. Don't care if you are in the NBA or not there are just still playground spots that are just as important to basketball just in another way. |
