It would appear that pre-production of the Cybertruck has begun. I wonder what the vaporware crowd has to say now? Still think these will never be produced? The pre-production stage is usually where they clean up their processes and get models to reviewers and testers as they plot out ramping up to full scale production. I think there's still probably another month or two before that happens, but it indeed appears that the Cybertruck in on pace to make a Q3 2023 debut. Sure, it could slip into the end of the year and it will likely be another year before I can get my hands on one, but they're coming and it appears nothing will stop that now. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/is-the-tesla-cybertruck-finally-in-production/ar-AA1cX8y5 |

Sure feels like we’re back to up only. With leveraged funds entering the mix now I expect a ton of volatility and there are lots of investors who will have reason to pump Bitcoin now. I wish we’d seen a spot ETF first and things like this a year from now, so we’ll have to see how it goes. It seems early for the market to be pumping BTC into a bubble.

I just don’t understand Musk’s confidence. Zuck has been actively training for MMA and Elon looks like he couldn’t run a mile to save his fortune. I think Elon’s walrus technique would land him in quite a bit of trouble with any sort of trained fighter and his age makes this to me nothing more than a troll move. If he is truly 180 pounds, Zuck would easily kick his ass, and I’m a Musk fan who hates Zuck.

Of course you are paying for the “dream” or opportunity. Otherwise people would have to be crazy to play at all. I’ve always said that lotteries are taxes on people who are bad at math, but more honestly they’re for people who have no hope of getting rich through investment knowledge or by building companies, this is their long shot hope at a different life.

I read that it is a leveraged futures fund, which is definitely not spot. The idea that the SEC is not approving a spot ETF to protect investors but just approved a leveraged futures fund is absolutely laughable. They’re literally doing the exact opposite. I don’t even know what to say anymore. It’s all manipulated at the highest levels to take ordinary people’s money. |

Maybe we can compare him to Zion? big hype, he enter the league have impact but he got injured, and now he is injury prone and there are rumors that he could be traded too.
Who knows until the actual season starts but I'm wishing him best for his career as it looks like everyone is truly optimistic on what's going to be his career run with the Spurs. It's too early to compare him with Zion. We don't even know if he can truly live up to his status as a star. Zion has already proven himself to be a dominant player, whereas we haven't seen that from Wemby in the NBA yet. So let's reserve that comment for the future. We need to witness his greatness first. I think this is an odd comparison as well. While they both will likely suffer from injuries keeping them off the court due to their sizes and body types, their body types couldn’t be further from each other. Zion is too big and strong for his frame and a freak athlete. Wemby is too tall and weak with hardly any athletic prowess nor has performed at all in the NBA. |

We are more likely to experience better end of the year, as of last two weeks Bitcoin was $23,000 but I can see some impressive changes hopefully the ends or mid of the year will make significant changes in price. Though am not excited much because even if it pumps I might not enjoy the fat price, I bought when the price is high but now you will pity my wallet. Anyway we're sure of better 2023.
For some reason I thought this would be a thread about Bitcoin development or how the inscriptions have kicked up a wave of necessary development, but it’s just about the price. The price really doesn’t have anything to do with Bitcoin’s improvement or functionality at all, so I think what you mean is that the Bitcoin market is improving. |

Elon’s Mom wanting to cancel this fight before it’s set is pretty standard Mom behavior. Dana White seems to think that a fight in the UFC is possible and stated that he talked to both of them and they are serious. This all sounds a bit ridiculous to me and I think Elon’s lack of current training, age, and prior injuries give Zuck quite an advantage. I also don’t believe Elon is only 180 pounds. With his build at 6’1” he’s probably closer to 220.

Looking like there’s possibly going to be an official announcement tomorrow that Damian Lillard has been traded to the Heat for Anfernee Simmons and some draft picks. That’s what Woj is reporting anyway, which basically means it is a done deal. Damian has already said he’s winning an MVP playing alongside Jimmy Butler.

I feel like if something goes wrong with a “web2” casino, it’s an established process where they are responsible for any lost funds due to hacks or whatever. With a web3 casino I feel like if something goes wrong then they would point to the nature of web3 and say that you wanted to be responsible for your own funds. I’m all for being your own bank, but not every situation calls for it.

Anyone else also watching the draft right now? No shock seeing Victor Wembanyama going number one overall, of course..but it should be pretty exciting to see how these next few picks play out. There's some great players in this draft outside of Victor!
I am wondering if my Chicago Bulls are going to try and pull anything off tonight. There's been some talk of them trading Zach Lavine tonight for a high pick. They seem to be in no mans land right now, so I think I'm okay with that to be honest.
Wemby is the only prospect I’ve heard of. I think after the covid nonsense I sort of lost track of the new young guys coming up. I will say that I’m not one of the guys who thinks Wemby will make an impact in the league. I think he’ll be like all the other unicorns before him and fail to injuries before he gets a body that can bang with NBA players in the paint. |

I’m still accepting offers for this piece of hardware. Feel free to contact me with any questions or offers. I am hoping to find a buyer willing to pay in bitcoins and avoid the typical auctions and marketplaces, but it’s starting to feel like I might need to go that route. If you are looking for an s17 then hit me up.

I strongly suspect a sinister move here. It is the government subtly trying to take over and be in control of Bitcoin. We are seeing big asset management companies and financial institutions suddenly getting involved with Bitcoin, which is partly the reason why there is a pump in the price of Bitcoin. They are applying for ETFs, and some others are coming together to create an exchange. The latest development is Crédit Agricole's CACEIS gaining Crypto Custody Registration in France. Why are all these things happening almost at the same time when Binance is being grilled by governments in different countries? Do not be carried away by all of this; it's the government's attempt to gain control of Bitcoin because, for all I care, these financial institutions with trillions of dollars are controlled by the government. They are the government. - https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/cr%C3%A9dit-agricole-s-caceis-gains-crypto-custody-registration-in-france/ar-AA1cSLjDIt isn’t surprising that big banks are utilizing their paid for politicians to use government agencies to attack established players in the market in order to open up buying opportunities for themselves to enter and take control. This is what I think we’re seeing and that is why it is important to hang on to your coins right now. Don’t let them get your coins for cheap. |

I don’t think Bitcoin is large enough or popular enough yet to make any sort of impact on the Presidential election. However, I do think that candidates who are looking for a small boost in the polls will be looking at communities like Bitcoin as a way to gain a little support by mentioning them and appearing friendly.

Khris Middleton just declined his $40,000,000 player option for the coming year. I’m not sure what he’s thinking… He only got that much because they needed a good player to run with Giannis and nobody else wanted to play for the Bucks. I get that Khris wants to secure a long term payday, but I think he may regret passing up that 40 million.

I don’t think we see a six figure Bitcoin price until 2025, but who knows given the last cycle was held down with manipulation from FTX. If we do see a six figure BTC in 2024, then I would expect 2025 to have an absolutely insane blow off top near the $800K range. I think a more sensible prediction would be $60K in 2024 & $200K in 2025.

Whether or not a casino is a scam is something that is typical users can’t really do much about. The best thing you can do is try to use reputable service providers and as soon as you get a sense that something is off, get the hell away from it. I feel like online gambling is still a bit of a Wild West, so just try to protect yourself as best as possible to avoid getting into a bad situation.

Chris Paul going to the Warriors as a backup for Steph Curry? I didn’t expect that. I guess CP3 thought that was his best chance at a ring. This to me means that Jordan Poole is done in Golden State. Crazy because I thought he would be next up, especially with Draymond rumored to be leaving the team this offseason. First surprise of the offseason…
Edit: Looks like Poole was in the trade. Checks out…

Not sure what to think of these....They could've done a better job for sure. I have known about Peter Schiff and his love for gold....kinda surprised he has entered the cryptosphere. He should've at least paid tribute to BTC somewhere in there!  Given the prices and big names on board, it looks like one of those things where influencers are given money and product to promote a brand for the sake of parting people from their BTC. Maybe I’m wrong, but so far all the Ordinals collections available don’t have any function other than looking pretty right? I wish the space would build something that did something. Community organizations that share proceeds with members have been around for more than a decade… That’s why this first round of tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain feel like nothing more than a grift to me, but I do have high hopes for the future when someone makes an inscription that does anything. |

This was something I took into account when engraving private keys into metal under a hologram. In order to combat against this, early coins I made using this technique were covered by an insulating piece to keep from metals reacting over time, then a thin piece of metal to make it so X-rays wouldn’t be able to determine the hidden private key. Eventually I phased this addition out because of time and additional cost, but the ultimate deciding factor was that it isn’t very difficult to remove and reattach holograms without damaging them as has been demonstrated repeatedly over time, so it’s good to remember that holograms are like door locks. They keep honest people honest.
