I was really looking forward to seeing a matchup of Durant and LeBron in the playoffs but that won’t be happening now as the Suns are done for the year. That team is too dysfunctional to win I think. At least we get to see LeBron play tonight though as they try to put an end to the Warriors dynasty. The Heat also have a chance to advance tonight over the Knicks.

This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it: Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it. Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider. Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably. Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone. Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling?  I think people know right from wrong enough to know when they’re doing bad behavior. I believe it is greed that pushes people to bet amounts they know they shouldn’t and extend losing streaks. If you know you’re the kind of person that does this sort of behavior, be conscious of it and don’t put lots of money in places where you’re able to easily gamble it. |

Suns, lol. What is this? 51:81 at halftime, seriously? This looks like an exact replica of last season's conference semi finals vs the Mavericks. In that game they were also down 30 at halftime, at home. In a do or die game you cannot perform like this and not play any defense. Well, I am glad they are out, being the favourite to win the chip after the KD deal.  Denver deserves to advance 100% and if they keep this up they can go to the finals. Against the Lakers they are 2:2 this season, both teams winning their home games. Against the Warriors they are 3:0. Seems like this season can be the one for the Joker and the Nuggets. Phoenix is mentally broken already in this game and it's obvious that they are giving up already, even with KD, with no Chris Paul and then Ayton having a rib concussion, there's now way they can offset Jokic performance in this series. So it's either Lakers or Warriors for them. I think it will be interesting series whoever the Nuggets are going to face, Lakers have AD if remains healthy against Jokic, or then Jokic seeing the night mare again of Draymond guarding him at the post. You could see the Suns give up half way through the second quarter. I think Ayton being out mentally messed them up before the game even started. This has been one of the harder games to watch in recent memory. The Suns were hard fouling and talking trash… I feel like they’re poor sports when things don’t go their way. |

It’s a little crazy that the combined spread for both games together tonight is only 4 points. I’d say that Vegas is expecting some good basketball tonight. I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen things so even when it comes to odds in the playoffs. Looks like the odds are however projecting wins for the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns…

Tonight we have the 76ers and the Nuggets trying to send the Suns and the Celtics fishing… I would’ve chosen the Celtics and Suns to win their series’ so this is a bit surprising to me. I’d hate to see the Durant experiment fall so short already. Now we see how Phoenix and Boston respond to having their backs against the wall.

I asked an artificial intelligence bot to draw me a picture of a Bitcoin collectible. Here is what it produced.   Then for fun I asked it to draw me a picture of a crypto collectible.  Here’s what it thinks a Bitcoin wallet looks like.  Finally, I asked it to draw me a Bitcoin superhero and got these.   AI is fun to play with and probably better than most people currently imagine, but it won’t be taking over the world just yet. It is becoming useful though. |

Watching Trump absolutely own the journalist last night on CNN was something else. It’s clear that nasty interviewer was trying to get him all night but at every turn Trump made her look like an idiot. Reminded me of Musk’s recent smack down of BBC. Could you imagine if Joe Biden was given the same treatment? He wouldn’t be able to get a word out. Anyone watching what Trump did last night would have to be a brainwashed moron to vote against him in the next election. I feel like the liberal nightmare destroying America is nearly over.

I thought that's gonna be the last game for the Warriors until Curry closes in the 2nd quarter with a buzzer beater for the 11 point lead.
Dub nation is still alive but then the game 6 will be played on Crypto.com arena. While on this game 5, we saw how helpful the crowd cheering for the Warriors.
We will then see the opposite of it but then that's not gonna guarantee the end of this series.
The Warriors win most of the time at home, so it's not surprising that they won at home. Additionally, the departure of Davis helps the Warriors maintain their momentum, as the Lakers are only playing small ball later in the 4th quarter. Regarding the update on Davis, he seems to be okay. https://www.si.com/fannation/nba/fastbreak/injuries/breaking-anthony-davis-injury-status-in-lakers-warriors-game-5 Good news for Lakers fans: the injury of Davis is not serious, so he can play in game 6, giving them a chance to close the series. However, if the Lakers lose, I'm unsure if they can still win on the road, considering the last two dominant victories by the Warriors on their home court. Curry has been consistently performing, and Green's new approach of attacking the paint has made the Warriors more unpredictable. Such a bizarre injury. Looking at the replays it seems so innocent. It doesn’t look like Looney’s wrist hit him hard enough to do anything. I wonder how much of that was mental or if Anthony Davis was really knocked senseless enough to need a wheelchair. He must have gotten hit in the perfect spot or something. Not good that AD is starting to have injury issues. |

Right now, the Heat are on the road of doing a bit of a history.
They're one win away from reaching the Conference Finals. There is only one team who won the Conference Finals as the 8th seed, and that's the Knicks way back 98-99 season. Though they lost in the NBA Finals, they still made history. With how the Heat are playing right now, they're on the road to become the 2nd team to do it. I just don't know if they have the capabilities to win against the winner of the Sixers/Celtics match-up. Overall, the Heat are playing very impressive in this playoffs, defeating the top favorite to win the title which is the Bucks, and now one win away from clinching to the Conference Finals.
The Knicks have been controlling the game due to their big third-quarter run, but we know what the Heat can do. Hopefully, the Knicks won't panic in the fourth quarter as the Heat are slowly inching closer. From a double-digit lead by the Knicks, it's already down to 7 points, and in this situation, the Heat are already used to it since they had a big comeback win against the Bucks in their last game of the series. 85-92 is the score now. I was surprised to see the Knicks win but I don’t think it will matter much. Now time for the main course. The Lakers have a chance to not only put the Warriors away for the season, but it’s possible tonight might be the night that LeBron James ends the Warriors’ dynasty. I think at best they have one more year together. |

We may get 2 conference finalists tonight as a couple of 3 win teams are playing tonight. The Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat both have the chance to advance tonight and neither are must win games for them. The Knicks and Warriors both have their backs against the wall as their next loss will be their last game of the season. I’ll be watching TNT tonight!
This will be an interesting night for the most of us and I know that there are a lot of people who are rooting for the favorites to win their respective games especially the Warriors later, and I know as well that these team's chances are somewhat good enough to force another game but I don't think that both Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers will just easily agree because if they can finish the whole series, they will. I don’t think whoever wins between the Knicks and Heat really matters. Boston and Philly would both destroy either the Knicks or Heat (in my opinion). Selfishly, I just want to see LeBron play against Durant but if I’m being honest I don’t think the Suns are going to beat the Nuggets. Denver is one all star shooting guard away from having the best team in the league. |

This is basically the same thing as doubling the block size as far as the problems it brings. Only difference is that it would also have the effect of cutting the block halving frequency in half as well. That would have inflation consequences.
Bottom line is that cutting block confirmation times in half would cause the blockchain to get larger faster, which developers say will lead to centralization and would eliminate the need for a patented second layer lightning network which goes against the patent holder’s interests, who also happens to pay the developers.

That “press conference” was embarrassing. Even Nate was dissing it and left to use the bathroom during it. Probably to get high and make sitting there bearable. I think that people are getting tired of Jake Paul. I think he was exposed during his last fight and his Cinderella story has ended. He might beat Nate only because Nate probably won’t take it seriously. I’m not sure I care anymore.

If you are willing to send the coins back to ICG they will replace the slab for a small fee.
I think it is $10 for a reslab I’m just a spectator with the whole grading thing, but for probably cheaper than the sandpaper to start fixing it, if you can get it re-slabbed, that seems like the way to go. I know I was waiting for the outcome of this and expected to see a destroyed slab at the end to be honest. I’m glad the replacement solution is so much simpler. |

Great thread and thanks for creating it tread
Why not ask Chat GPT what is likely going to be the most valuable physical bitcoin in the future.
What is the rarest of all physical bitcoins?
How many physical bitcoin makers are there?
Thanks again for asking! Looking forward to the results!
AI has to learn things from somewhere, so while it seems like this would be a cool idea, it would likely give you the most expected outcome, which is rarely what actually happens. So it would probably tell you the most overpriced and worst collectible you could buy. This is I think something about AI people don’t yet understand. It’s like the next step above Google in its current form, it isn’t a self thinking intelligent being…yet. |

Looks like I was dead wrong about this Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76Ers game. I thought the Celtics would handle them easily on their home court but this game has been ugly. Boston can’t hit the side of a barn with their shots. No way you can win a game in today’s NBA when you’re shooting ~30% from the field and 25% from three point range…

Wrong time of year in the northern hemisphere, no need for a heater.
This is pretty much how I feel about it. If you need the heat, you might as well take advantage. This time of year though, when a lot of people are having to start running their air conditioners for summer, even if it was profitable to mine, it might not be when you factor in the cost and inconvenience of having to cool the miners. |

I can’t say I know enough about how slot machines online and their service providers are considered or who is the third party to have an educated opinion on the matter, but… I always tend to think that the less hands you have on something the better, so whatever method has you dealing with less people in the event something goes wrong is probably the way to go.

It seems like they underestimated the difficulty and cost of shipping these and might be trying to figure out how to streamline their shipping methods to make sure you get it in one piece without them having to raise the price. Just my feeling after seeing their message. I look forward to seeing the results and I’ve always thought solar and immersion cooling was the combo everyone should have.
