The Brooklyn Nets are trying to make a deal with the Pelicans to get Zion Williamson for Ben Simmons and a whole bunch of draft picks. This seems like a terrible deal for both teams if I'm being honest. The Pelicans getting Ben Simmons would pretty much destroy their team in my opinion and kick off a rebuild with their picks. Meanwhile the Nets would give up all their picks assuring that they suck for years while picking up Zion, who has been injury prone and won't be there to carry the team. Both teams are a disaster, but the Pelicans really have to get a win now attitude while they have Ingram and Zion on the roster.

Bradley Beal went to the Phoenix Suns.
Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards traded.
Phoenix Suns: Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards: Chris Paul, Landry Shamet and multiple second round picks.
I think it's good for the Phoenix Suns.
Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal these three will be fun to watch.
This trade pretty much guarantees that CP3 will never get a ring. Being traded to Washington and playing on a rebuild roster has to be disheartening for him, but he will be a veteran for the younger players to look up to. Phoenix on the other hand just got way better. Beal is a beast. Suns got a shooter to go along with Booker, Durant, and Ayton. Should be an interesting season for the Suns next season. I can’t believe that the Wizards took this deal. Beal must have told them he wanted out. It’s absolutely insane that the Suns managed to get Beal and didn’t have to include Ayton. It makes me wonder who they’ll be able to get for Ayton. They’re a good free agent signing and a trade away from having an absolute monster of a starting 5. |

It’s looking like Phoenix really wants to be the first team to make a big move in the offseason. They were trying to deal Ayton for the #2 pick and that seemed to fall through. Now it looks like they’re going after Bradley Beal. I’m not sure who will be the center for the Suns next year, but I’m pretty sure it won’t be Ayton. I think Beal would be a great pickup.

Some good advice on this thread. Personally I think a good knowledge of the sport you’re betting on and familiarity with the teams is the best advantage but you can’t forget to check things like injuries, who has a day off, who is going through a divorce, what city they are playing in, who is in a contract year, etc.
Of course there’s nothing like some good old fashioned luck.

Anyone have any details of their agreement with Coinbase? I’m wondering if Coinbase takes a percentage of the total holdings or if it was a one time thing or what. If it’s a deal based on a percentage and this ETF turns out to be massive, this could be a good source of revenue for Coinbase. That to me makes them a more interesting investment than their fee heavy exchange.

Well, it's official. Ja Morant has be suspended for 25 games: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37863825/sources-grizzlies-ja-morant-suspended-25-games-nbaIn my opinion, he got lucky. Many outlets spoke of a much higher punishment, even up to 1 season. The number which circulated the most was 30 games. So now it's "just" 25 games, seems like a good deal for him. If he will learn something from the whole situation is a different story, der Grizzlies can only hope he does. This will definitely harm Memphis to play without him in the first 30% of the season, at least they don't have to pay him for that time I guess.  I think he got the right punishment. If he had been suspended for 1 season, it could have been a little heavy, but it wouldn't have been right if he had been punished less. The NBA needs to be serious about this, be very sensitive about violence and other things. Things like guns, knives, fights cause people to set a bad example. I think this kind of thing should have no place in sports  25 games without pay, right? I think that's a lot of money for him, so he deserves that kind of punishment. But this is his second offense. I would have said that he deserves a second chance, but this is his third chance. So, I hope he won't make a mistake after this. What he showed was promoting violence, and that's not what sports promote. Sports are about pure entertainment and brotherhood among players with the right cause. Honestly, this is his 4th chance. There was the incident with his Mom at Footlocker where him and his buddies tried to attack a teen worker. There was the incident where he beat up a teen in a pickup game. There was the original strip club gun incident. Now there’s the gun on social media incident. He’s going to lose some money from not playing, sure. Maybe 10-15 million dollars. The real pain is the hundreds of millions he loses from endorsements though. |

Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?
I asked this because those who made some money through gambling near me always go back to gamble and they end up losing everything they once made through gambling.
Is it fine to say that people should not go back into gambling once they made high amount of money? Because the chance of losing that money again is very high, even if they don't use all the money to gamble at once, gambling can take it all back in time.
Have you ever won a high amount of money from gambling and managed to not lose them all back to gambling? And to date, you are still gambling?
I should say first that I’ve never bet a lot of money on anything really. I could be wrong but I think $175 is probably the largest bet I’ve ever made with a casino. For me it would be easy to stop, but not because I won life changing money. I gamble for the fun, so making money doesn’t have a lot to do with my decision. I’d be most likely to not gamble when it stopped being fun. |

Seeing how the price has been recovering makes me feel like the latest move downward was an orchestrated squeeze on leveraged longs. Knowing now that Blackrock was entering the space makes a little more sense why something like this would occur. I feel like Bitcoin is under attack right now as the big boys try to take control of the market.

I think what we saw was more of a news event with the SEC taking action against Bitcoin exchanges. I wouldn’t say that’s enough to call this a decoupling. The real decoupling we want to see will be when the stock market heads south from the recession and the Bitcoin price shoots up after the halving. Still a ways out though.

After seeing the video I think her story is much less credible. There were an awful lot of people around for her to have been in danger of being raped. She also appeared to be a pretty large woman… Besides the story of her beating him up with an elbow and getting away being hard to believe, now it seems the video contradicts her story a bit.

Received this envelope today which I thought was junk mail...and I usually dont bother opening at all....Until I held against the light and saw a round object....opened and it turned out to be the sticker! Forgot all about it and pleasantly surprised...   Damn. I’m betting I threw mine out unless it hasn’t come yet. I got notification that one came to my post office box so I’ll have to be more careful combing through that mess of advertisements. I feel like advertising has ruined mail and telemarketers are trying their best to ruin phones being useful for calls. It’s also possible I don’t take mail or phone calls seriously enough. I do enjoy messing with telemarketers. Useless tidbit: As I was typing this in a lobby, someone named Craig Wright just came in. I did a double take. |

I voted for a stoppage of the rake hike, they've done well already with the manner in which they were aggressive with it last year. This is a very good measure as a result of the threatening inflation. However, this time that inflation is subsiding, it's a good act to stop it or slow it down to the lowest pace.
I'm not really sure if US inflation is subsiding, it might be that the numbers is not really updated as there are a lot of financial issues. So it's a surprised that they paused it right now. But I doubt it, maybe next month there will be another increase. Perhaps they are just observing as to what effect the pause will be for this month. But then again, as I have said, the economy still look very bleak, so this might not be a effective measures. And even with this news, it hasn't had that much effect on crypto market. Inflation is definitely subsiding. The problem is that the Fed always looks backwards at trailing data instead of forward to what will happen. Forward metrics are showing things like a negative money supply and deflation. The Fed is causing a recession and if they raise rates at all from here it will be a worse one than is already coming. If I were a smart man I would sell all my assets like I said I would next time this happened back in 2008, but here I am, holding like an idiot and waiting to see how much it will cost me. |

For them to have given him this suspension for having a legally owned gun (they claimed later it was a toy) in a video. He broke no laws and hurt nobody. That makes me think he was told explicitly not do have guns on social media and did it anyway. When this is all said and done he’ll probably lose 200 million plus dollars from all of this is salary and endorsements, but will still probably make another 400 million in his career so I doubt he cares too much. |

ETH is great but using it is so expensive that it’s definitely a deterrent to the growth of their infrastructure. That’s why it’s surprising to me that coins like MATIC haven’t held up better. The idea of using ETH for things like metaverse transactions will never happen. Still though, I think ETH and staking will make it a popular coin for investment funds.

Now that the big guys like Blackrock are moving into the space, a massive jump in price seems almost inevitable. If their ETF gets approved it will be a situation of the higher Bitcoin’s price goes the more money they’ll be able to take in on fees, which will act as a feedback loop as they accumulate everything they can buy using their own investor’s money.

^ Dwight Howard said he would love to come off the bench for the Kings and help them win. I think on a good contract he’s probably a nice addition to the team. The Kings to me seem like they’re being well coached these days but their roster definitely leaves room for improvement. They’re just never able to lure free agents to Sacramento.

Speaking of Conor McGregor, it looks like he has himself a new problem as a woman has come forward to say he raped her at game 4 of the NBA playoffs. Not sure how much truth their is to the story as I believed McGregor was happily married and in a committed relationship, but he’s going to have to address this situation either way.
There is a bit more info of how that all happened (might) https://www.sportingnews.com/au/mma/news/conor-mcgregor-rape-allegation-sexual-assault-nba-heat-nuggets/l15tcic8d0bcr8yi3ehtnx13. There arre so much details given, almost every step of that crime can be visualised. And is the proof that this all is fake. It is a huge public place. It is pinned with security cameras everywhere. Every step Conor made can be checked. And it is Conor, he has been covered by fans with mobiles and cameras all around. If he has really did something, a lot of people must have filmed it. I like the part when she has repeatedly elbowed him, and escaped numerous guards. Yeah, elbowed a pro fighter and escaped his clinch while being shocked. Some kind of Jason Bourne in womans disguise. We’ll have to see what happens. I tend to think a guy as rich as Conor could probably buy whatever he wanted, including company for a night, not that he would need to. It doesn’t make a lot of sense for him to rape a random woman, but who knows. Maybe he’s still so roided out he can’t control his actions or something. |

Bull = back
?
It was a short correction but it looks at least at the moment like the ETF news along with the Fed pausing has caused an upturn. Traditional markets rallied hard today as well. I’m still a bit bearish in the short term personally, but the long term fundamentals just keep improving. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Bitcoin is able to shrug off the coming recession and keep to it’s fractal pattern. |

Ognasty i have one question for you, now i was thinking the CYBERTRUCK being a TRUCK implies you are gonna pull weights (theorically), so being electric means you are gonna have much more engine torque than a oil engine one.
How much its the engine torque?.
I don’t know how much reliable information is out there but here’s what was published by Tesla. Cybertruck can tow up to 14,000 pounds and has an estimated driving range of 500-plus miles. A quick Google search landed me with this answer: The estimated maximum power of the Tesla Cybertruck Tri Motor is 600 kW (805 hp). The estimated maximum torque is 1033 lb-ft. I don’t intend to tow much. If I do take a cross country trip or something I think I could handle sleeping in the bed area and I’m not a boat towing guy. |
