As someone who has a lot of images hosted on Imgur showing various products and historical information, I think it would be nice if I didn’t have to download software on my machine and spend time reviewing code in order to get my images preserved. I would much prefer the forum fix this issue either by migrating all images to a new service, hosting them, or allowing historical images to remain.

Every 4 years, we expect bull market just because of halving. What do you think when is this chain is going to broken? Ie, halving no longer equals that bull market is coming.
You know for your information, only time will tell when it will happen to break. Because no one knows what you will ask for the future. But even so, the split will remain a significant part of Bitcoin's life cycle. And it will definitely have a big impact on the price of bitcoin in the coming future in my opinion. But it's possible that the split won't be enough to trigger the upcoming bull market. There is no one who can tell what will exactly happen every halving. But we can only speculate on this matter. Even long timers and so-called experts can't give you a guarantee on what's to come. There may be positive movements before or after halving, but we can't say for sure if that will happen in every halving. Because the technology is evolving fast and we don't know how long this technology will last. Who knows in the near future, bitcoin will be obsolete, what can we do if that scenario will happen? Agree with you that the future is unpredictable, bitcoin may continue to repeat history or never will. But as bitcoin investors, we should be optimistic and believe in it because if it continues to rise, we will benefit greatly, so don't be pessimistic. But investing means risking your money, we should also have a plan for the worst case scenario. What I mean is that we need to be optimistic and realistic, not too delusional and not too pessimistic. We dont really have that crystal ball to know on what the future would look like.It might happened in the past but doesnt mean that it would happen in the future which we know that everything is really that unpredictable.We've seen halving event did make out some trigger with those golden bull runs that we do have into those specific years on which it is really just that normal that people would be presuming out on this way.This is why if you do have this kind of insights about its potential price in the future then accumulation would really be entirely be depending on you. Its our money then its our full rights on what we should gonna do with our money and we know that in every investment there's always an accompanied risks which is something that very normal to have. Whether there's some halving effect or not but at least we've done our risk taking on investing into something which we know that it does have potential. Honestly, I think things will change, the game is getting too predictable, and if it doesn't change, everyone will get rich, and who will spend the big bucks buying bitcoins when we sell it for 100 thousand dollars? This is a financial market, not a charity, which means there will always be sellers and buyers, and there will always be winners and losers. So when everyone expects $100k worth of bitcoin to be sold, who will be the buyer? Market changes are inevitable. I get your point and it is a good one, but I think it’s an opinion of someone who is too close to the game. Most people think Bitcoin is a scam that is going to crash and burn someday. The majority hasn’t bought in. For us, the 4-year cycle seems obvious and too easy to exploit, but the majority of people do not understand the market and how things like halvings affect it. Just do yourself a favor and put some money on your belief. Don’t let others discourage you from what you can clearly see. |

I think that the nature of crypto is going to leave a lot of coins lost forever when people die suddenly, or even from old age. Most people don’t document all their assets and myself personally if I were to die I’m certain not all the digital assets I have would be discovered. This leads me to believe that over time Bitcoin will become much more scarce than some might imagine. I’d give examples like Mircea Popescu.

I would agree with others stating the government is trying to suppress the price of Bitcoin and discourage adoption. Coinbase is currently fighting this fight for us to get clarity. The good news is that even with them timing their sales to create maximum damage and sabotaging the market every way they can… We are still here. For me that is a bullish sign.

I think as long as you are aware of the risks and understand that a loaded crypto collectible is very far from what Bitcoin actually stands for, you are good to go.
This is probably a good attitude to have. I’d recommend also trying to put yourself in the creator’s shoes and understand their motivation for doing what they do. Casascius for example didn’t create physical coins to get rich, he did it because it was a cool new use case. He even stopped selling them when he could’ve charged insane amounts for new pieces. Even myself, I don’t engrave Minted Seats for next to nothing to get rich and giving away my mining and coin sale proceeds to NastyFans members has cost me several million dollars in donated BTC. I do it because I think it’s cool and fun. Understanding a creator’s motive is paramount to keeping from being victimized in this space. |

Conor McGregor saying yesterday that he will get the all time UFC knockouts record seems a little ambitious for a guy coming off an injury who hasn’t knocked anybody out in a while… Not to mention he isn’t getting any younger so he must be planning a massive comeback with a lot of fights if he thinks this is possible for him to obtain.

After reading and commenting on this thread I decided to take a look at what Stake was charging as a withdrawal fee. I saw that they are only charging slightly over a dollar to withdraw your BTC. That doesn’t seem like a crazy fee to me. I half expected they would have raised it by 10x due to the recent network issues. So if withdrawal fees are concerning to you, check out the link in my signature.

I looked at betting on the Boston Celtics to beat the Miami Heat in game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but I was deterred by the odds. While I’m somewhat confident the Celtics will win game 1 at home, the risk/reward factor just didn’t merit betting. So I don’t have any skin in the game on this one, but I am expecting the Celtics to win at home.

I didn’t feel like it was a one sided game. The Nuggets had the lead the whole game but they never got too far out of reach. LeBron even had a chance to tie it with a 3 late in the fourth. Both teams shot excellent from the field. It was a great game to watch. It had everything you’d expect. The big difference in the game was rebounds. The Lakers need to step it up on the boards. They can’t be outrebounded by nearly 20 and win.

I recently posted inventory numbers for NastyFans minted seats but I didn’t say anything about the NastyMining silver wallets. There are currently 53 sets of wallets remaining. They are still available for sale and are engraved upon ordering (so give a few extra days after an order). If you do desire, go ahead and place an order for yours at https://NastyFans.org/mint Update: 52 sets remaining as of now. |

I haven’t had a chance to check this out yet as I am just stumbling upon it, but it seems like a great tool to keep the integrity of older posts.
My immediate thoughts are if this could be run with Administrator privileges forum wide so that all images could be corrected for everyone at once. I don’t know if TalkImg would even want that, but it would be cool.

Why are some online gambling platforms having high withdrawal fee? I know Bitcoin recently has a high transaction fee but that's no more right now, some online casinos are still asking for 5$ per transaction when it should be 1$ or less.
Not just only Bitcoin withdrawal, even coins with very low transaction fee, isn't this robbery? If you just signed up on a centralized exchange, you can pretend as if you want to withdraw, to know how much the gas fee costs, but on online casino, you will see this only after you have enough wins or funds for withdrawal.
Recently fees have been high with Bitcoin transactions because the network was extremely backlogged. I imagine many services had to raise withdrawal fees as a result in order to make sure that their withdrawals go through in a timely manner and that they don’t lose a ton of money in the process. I think a solution might be to give users the option to have a longer withdrawal time with a lower fee so that transactions can be batched and sent with a low fee that might take some time to confirm. |

Your idea would require that the sender doesn’t respond the coins before you are able to claim them. I think a better solution would be to have Bitcoin not have a single point of failure, like the internet in your scenario. Radio frequencies have been demonstrated to work to keep BTC going without the internet. Same with satellites. Those along with mesh networks could go a long way towards making Bitcoin functional with the internet.

If you zoom out a little and take a look at the 6-month chart you can see a little bit of evidence for 2 possible scenarios. The first scenario is a rising price off the $16K low with some consolidation periods at $16K, $22K, and now $27K. If this scenario continues, we should see some upside and a new consolidation period around the $35K level. The second scenario is a head and shoulders pattern forming with the left shoulder being at $20K. If this scenario plays out we'll see a revisit to $20K in short order which would likely decimate any leveraged longs and probably be a good thing going forward. Which way will we go? Might depend on the news cycle.

Anyhow, lets have some updates. Any feelings changed about it in the last few months?

Not really. It's a good starter bike, which is what I was looking for. Being electric is awesome and the bike looks great so it's a real head turner. I've never had so many people ask me about a vehicle before while I'm out and about. That being said, the brakes could probably use an upgrade to anti-lock and the distance is a real issue. I would hesitate to take it more than 10 miles from the house. I think if they upgrade the brakes, maybe got it to go 10mph faster so it could safely be on the highway, and gave the option for a second battery addon or charging attachment for public chargers, it would be a real awesome bike. It does fall short on speed and distance promises to the point where I'm not sure if I would buy one of these for legitimate use instead of having fun. |

Looks like the Cybertruck production is no imminent. Fans of Tesla have spotted the front castings for the Cybertruck as full scale manufacturing seems to be just around the corner. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-front-castings-spotted/In the article they talk a little bit about how they know what these parts are and also link to a tweet from the person who made the initial discovery. More pictures posted yesterday also show the assembly line and workers doing pilot production as they document processes and get ready to start training workers. It's looking very promising that the Cybertruck will start being delivered to customers this year! |

I see that Jamal Murray is on the injury report for the Nuggets for tonight's game. I'm not sure how much that will actually effect the outcome, as he was also listed on the injury report for their last game against the Suns and managed to play without any issues. Still, it's apparent that Jamal Murray is not at 100% and with the Lakers looking to get their way back to the Finals and Jamal being a major piece of the Nuggets offense makes you wonder if this might play a role in the outcome of tonight's game. I think the Nuggets actually have the better team, but when LeBron and AD are playing well it doesn't matter who they're playing...

On that particular statement from Embiid, that's not the way an MVP should talk.
Just be a gentleman and never to point your finger to anyone, something that he needed to work on while taking the early vacation
after being eliminated, they've got that chance in game 6 almost winning that game if he just takes it over and force his way to make
some solid attacks. But things happened and nothing can be change now, do the hard work and keep trying to blend with your teammate
instead of saying something that is out of context.
He should just accept their loss and just move on. Although it's kind of hard to move on when they're almost there but fell short. They just have to come back stronger next season. They're not the only team that has lost in this conference and the majority of them are already now having their own personal activities and for sure many are already focusing on their next season's performances. He wasn't as effective in the playoffs. Unlike Jokic, whose performance even improves in the postseason, he didn't have the same impact. Honestly, I thought Jokic would win the regular season MVP, but it was Embiid who received the honor. Nonetheless, Jokic played exceptionally well. However, if Embiid cannot accept defeat in the playoffs, I don't believe he will grow as a player, and it will be challenging for him to win a championship. I know that frustration is there, he should just be set and happy having and being the MVP for this season. Maybe one step at a time for him, next stop is" FINALS MVP". I didn't watch the Philly games close enough to be able to tear apart Embiid's claims that him and Harden were the only ones playing well enough. The stat sheets for the games definitely didn't reflect that. Especially their final game where Harden and Embiid were statistically a couple of the worst players out there... I think Embiid just never got into NBA playing shape in his career and has relied on his size and skills to carry him. That only gets you so far and might win you an MVP in the regular season, but it isn't enough to carry a team to the Finals. More evidence Embiid shouldn't have won the MVP. |

I hate to say it but anyone that tries to add trust to a inherently trustless system is not only missing the point but gets what thy deserve.
*I wasn't going to comment here but it makes me sick to see people miss the entire point of bitcoin.
I don’t know man… Just because Bitcoin is trustless doesn’t mean that you can never trust anyone. Lots of people get away just fine trusting things and not getting screwed. Look at anyone who has ever accepted a PayPal payment. I wouldn’t blame the buyers for trusting someone. They took a risk and it didn’t pan out in this case, but Yogg is still very much the asshole here. |

Stephen A Smith has reported just what I suspected about Suns coach Monty Williams… He said that DeAndre Ayton “Got Monty Williams fired.” After two straight years ending with Ayton seemingly not playing because of disagreements with the coach I think the GM probably wishes he’d handled the problem last year.
