Could it also mean that this price will be our bottom?
It can go way up than $10k but I am thinking more about not losing its value again and again.
I know there are still weak hands who are always tempted to sell more.
But could this also be a sign that those weak hands are already out?

I mean, if they are still here they might have sold their bitcoins already out of impatience.

Even in the bonuses game I was n1 in the first days then 38 now. No luck  Sad
I think I was at 60+ rank.
I stopped when I become greedy increasing the bet from my winnings.  Grin
Those guys out there must be doing it like 24/7 to keep their ranks on top.

Table updated. We are still facing a dip and I don't see signs of a short term growth. I think it will require a month to recover our losses or a whale losing a couple of BTC while betting  Undecided
I may try your LTC technique if this red mark will keep on going in weeks to come.
For now, I am trying to monitor how much are LTC bettors.

But if I were for Jamal since he is not getting younger I would have chosen a much better team right now capable of winning a ring. With the current status right now of Nets especially the missing good players they have Irving, Durant, Jordan, Dinwiddie, Chandler and Prince chances is so low for them to caught it.

Indeed.
But there is still hope in this decision.
Next year maybe?  Grin


We can see in that video how a veteran moves like a veteran.  Grin
Embiid is good below the rim but if you are against a veteran like Mark who had so much experience including Olympics games then it will be easy for him to stop Embiid.
He needs more experience down there, not just experience in talking so much.  Grin

Watching that video, it looks like Embiid was so overrated that anytime can be stop by a good defender.
I don't know if that are other NBA players who called themselves start having an scoreless night, at least not on Lebron, Kobe, and Kawhi.
Proves he is not unstoppable, unlike the other players that you mentioned.
He got skills but I think it is going over his head most of the time.
You can also prove that when you look at how he reacts whenever he did a strong offensive move.

Could he really be that selfish that he wants Simmons out for more attention?
Like what sana54210 said:
Do you guys think that Embiid is having some sort of trouble with Ben Simmons? I mean looking at the two things he said, they are both looking like attacks to Simmons. He said the game should run through him and usually we see point guards bringing the ball up yet in today's game anyone can do it, Ben Simmons is known to be the main ball handler and playmaker of that team, maybe Embiid wants to be more like Jokic instead? And the other one is him and Horford basically surrounded by shooters, which we know that Simmons is not one at all, he is one of the worst shooters in the league.

So, when you combine these together, it sounds like maybe Embiid wants to force Simmons out of Sixers and he wants to lead the team himself and dislikes the notion that he has to share that with Simmons instead. What do you think?
I guess we will find out more someday. Maybe in the playoffs, if the game starts to heat up and no one can make an offense.
Someone will just burst out of his bad behavior.

It changed a lot.
The risk is higher now than how it is before.

Before I made some profits buying coins and tokens which are successful during their ICO.
Now, they are difficult to find. Like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I prefer buying trusted coins now. If ever I will be interested in a new project it must have a feature that will blow our mind.

Good point!
Both young and both have skills.
76ers will have a difficult time choosing between the two if ever they want to be separated.

But do remember, Embiid is a guy who talks a lot and it could be a weapon to manipulate the game or what the opponent will think.

Embiid is not a kind of player that could provide consistent offense to the team, he can be doubled and IIRC, there's one man that can stop him, and that is Mark Gasol. We can all see in this video - Toronto Raptors Breakdown - ALL-DEFENSE: How they held Joel Embiid to ZERO points & beat the Sixers!


Which could be the reason they will pick Ben instead of him?
Great video, it tells that Embiid is wrong, it's the first time he was scoreless in his career as an NBA player, great job by Gasol here, he doesn't need to score but it's important he can stop Embiid. Brilliant coaching job by Nick Nurse.

Just keep on replaying it @Reid, maybe it will. LOL Grin

I hope it will.  Grin
I am a Suns fan back then. Speed and offense.
But you could still see how strong in defense Amare back then gaining 2 blocks in just 3 minutes.

How about Simmons do the threes instead because that's for sure unexpected for his offense? Well, I've seen him practicing shooting outside but on actual play, it wouldn't be the same.
He still needs confidence.
Next season will be the best time to try it out by shooting more at a live game.

Philadelphia 76ers fans, do you believe on this?

Joel Embiid Says He's 'Capable Of Carrying The Team' On Offense

Quote
Joel Embiid addressed the Philadelphia 76ers' offensive struggles ahead of the Orlando restart, saying that the offense should run through him.

He is giving an idea on what their opponent would expect, but can he really make his team successful if the offense runs through him?
Is he the on the status of Kobe and Lebron yet?

It could also be a strategy.
Giving out strategies for the opponent to expect the ball to be passed to him always.
While the new strategy could be for Ben Simmons if all the shooting practices are fruitful.  Grin


Now watching: 2010 West Finals LAL vs PHX
One of the best Game 5's I had watched. 1st quarter was already hot.  Grin
Kobe with 2 fouls already with 9 minutes left in the first.
Maybe Phoenix will win this series this time in the replay.  Grin

NBA commissioner Adam Silver concerned wave of positive tests inside bubble could stop restart plan

'Certainly if we had any sort of significant spread within our campus, we would be shut down again,' Silver said


https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-commissioner-adam-silver-concerned-wave-of-positive-tests-inside-bubble-could-stop-restart-plan/
That's the one and the only option they have.
They must stop it before they even start putting players and authorized personnel in Orlando.
If not, they will also put in danger the people living in Orlando especially those who will serve the players while staying there.

Adam Silver knows it and I bet he already talked to the government about the risk.
There must be a percentage of how many players and crew will be infected before they finalize the cease of the restart.

Josh Giddey: The Best NBA Prospect You’ve Never Heard Of

Anyone heard of him? yeah, the article headlines probably right. They've said it'll be the next Luka or Ben Simmon. Cheesy

I've never heard of the man, but got me interested and do some research.

Kid came from Australia, play Point Guard and great in passing. But I think it's too early to make a statement and time will tell. Better hope not to see another Dante Exum.
Haven't heard of him either.
Australian kid, great passing. All I can think about is Ben Simmons.
I hope he is also good at defense just like Ben.
I will try to watch some of his highlights later.
Fortunately, if I don't miss some updates, there are no reports yet where an NBA player got reinfected again with the virus.
Yeah, it must be the immune system of our body after being infected once.
I'm more worried about these players that got positive last June and this month. They shouldn't be allowed to play the whole month of August. I know they are important players but the virus is tricky. I don't have the guts to defend a guy that got positive just last month although he was recovered now lol.
I doubt they will be allowed to play at a 1-month span.
Recovery and 14-day quarantine to say they are really clear from the virus.
It will take almost a month.

We still benefited from those 6 weeks of his bankroll (helped spread our losses)!
Definitely got a help from his investment, doesn't matter how big or small, a help is a help. When you go for years, you are lowering the variance, the difference between 6 weeks and 6 years is the fact that 6 years has a bigger income potential and even a whale can't lose that much. So, let's assume monthly you could make 0.5% of your profit, and you reinvest your initial money back or something, can't really make a big math calculation for it so just hear me out with bad math Cheesy.

If you wait 6 weeks, that is 0.75% income for you, someone could definitely come in and win 1% of all bankroll and leave, which means in 6 weeks you are still in the variance. But if you do 6 years, that is 36% profit and nobody can take away that much even if they are super lucky because game won't allow them.

Thanks for the positive output.  Grin

I think most of the new investors felt the red mark profit.
It is an investment, not a trading ground.
You invest, it should be a long span of time.
Old and wise people will understand that. But hot-blooded young ones are still on the goal of the faster way to make money.
It's like every minute they are checking how much they made.  Grin

Is this the same coin as what they give in brave browser? BAT right?

All you can do is wait for them to be listed in another exchange.
I bet they will if they really want to have more buyers and also for the value to increase.
The question: Did you do your research before buying it? Is there really a future for it? Or is it just because of a hype in the chatbox?

At least, there's still hope in this case. It's not that he left his coin in the exchange but it is in his possession. So yes, what he can do right now is closely follow this project and definitely it will be listed again if this is really a good one. Is this the Basic Attention Token (BAT) that he is talking about? Can the OP add the thread or website that he is referring to?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1947864.0

Yeah, is that the same with this, or they just luckily had the same name?  Grin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=400753.0

Yours started in 2017.
While what I saw started in 2014.
What did he really buy?
IIRC, every coin that is delisted from an exchange is mostly because of very low volume or nothing at all.
This means, there are not many buyers for this coin anymore but more sellers.

This is why in the beginner's section you can still find tips on how you can improve your security.
Here is a good list.
Good topics on security and privacy
CTTO

In my opinion, it will always depend on you.
You can do all the security which was told in the link provided but,  I will still go back to the old school.
Keep that seed in a piece of paper.
Laminate it to avoid getting wet.
Put it somewhere dry and secured.
If you are still paranoid for its security then put another wall which is 2fa.
Now, before they can access your account, they will need your phone and that laminated paper.  Grin

It's not about the hardware wallet. It's about keeping what you did from it.

Wow! LaMelo Ball goes to the warriors as the number 1 pick.

How is that?

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/2020-nba-mock-draft-lamelo-ball-goes-no-1-as-warriors-pick-prospect-with-the-highest-upside/

I think it's a good help for the warriors to get back to the number 1 spot again, of course with both Curry and Thompson playing healthy.


It's just a mock draft.
A simulation. There is a higher percentage of Warriors will be his team. But with so many guards in that team, I doubt they will take another.
They might need more of a forward rather than a point guard or a playmaker.

Quote
1. If you hit at three on a neighbor’s court from your own court it’s worth 10 points.
2. Three court shots can be attempted in the final three seconds of each quarter. A three court shot is worth 20 points.
3. As soon as a team goes on a 10-0 run additional basketballs are released on neighboring courts for MULTI BALL. Each team can send their bench to the courts to rack up points until the ball goes out of bounds, then it’s lost.

The article creator drive me crazy about their ideas implementing new rules. Cheesy

Man, this is the product of a bored mind, probably working at home because of the pandemic lol.

Haha, so true. Different crazy ideas are being thrown.
I don't know man! Are they making the NBA like a console game now?

I'm not surprised for this.
It must be the curse of the NBA 2K cover athletes.
Player just leaving after they become one of the cover of it.

I better hope the NBA 2K cover curse not going to happen on Dame. Cheesy

I didn't know that.
Like a curse of the jersey number 23?  Grin
Searching....
Holy crap!  Shocked It's on Google.

Quote
What is the NBA 2k curse?
The theory of the curse emerged when the community noticed several players were on the move from their respective teams around the time they were picked to be featured. For example, the video game company picked NBA star LeBron James to be on their cover in 2014.

Honestly, this is new to me. So these are the examples of why they alias it as a curse.  Grin
Link
Quote
For example, the video game company picked NBA star LeBron James to be on their cover in 2014. That year, King James left the Miami Heat to go to back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The same thing happened in 2018, when James once again graced the cover for the 2019 edition. This time, he went to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Similarly, Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder and joined Golden State Warriors in 2016. He had featured on the cover in 2015. Paul George, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis were on the covers in 2017, 2018, and 2020. They had requested trades, very close by to when they were on the cover.

And they fear that Damian is in line because of his recent tweets.
But I doubt that. He loves to compete.

“To leave, what did I invest all this time for just to leave, you know? If I go play with three other stars, I don’t think that many people would doubt that I could win it. We would win it, but what is the challenge or the fun in that?”

Time for CJ McCollum to shine, as long as there's Lillard, he will keep living in the shadow of Lillard.
Or worse. He will be a shadow of a new star that will be built by Portland or they could trade for someone else.
That's a huge chunk of cap space for the Blazers which could be offered to a star. Someone will bite it.

That's not in my mind now, I was thinking that CJ is already matured to take over the position of Lillard once he leaves the team.

Last season's CJ's performance was still fresh to me, he helped the Blazers beat the Nuggets in game 7 by dropping 37 points, that says a lot to me that he is a clutch player and the team can rely on him.

CJ McCollum goes off for 37 points in Blazers' Game 7 win over Nuggets | 2019 NBA Playoffs

Don't get me wrong, I am also a fan of the guy.
Same as how I become a fan of Klay Thompson.
They are not really the number 2 guys. More like the other half of the number 1.
Without them, Dame and Steph will not be known as stars.
Consistency, defensive and offensive awareness. Both, almost have an equal kind of game.

It's just that the hype was given to the other players who showcase more entertainment rather than the silent one.

KNICKS maybe, but Lakers, NO!, who would the Lakers trade for him, LEBRON? lol.

It will be Green, KCP, and Kuzma which could give them a salary match according to the article.
I also prefer Knicks if it will be possible.

Another news though, posted 4 hours ago.

Report: Kings Close Facility After Positive COVID-19 Test in Traveling Party


Quote
The Sacramento Kings have reportedly closed their practice facility after a member of their traveling party tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic.

Per that report, the practice facility "is not expected to reopen before the team departs for Orlando on Wednesday."


Maybe these teams will just resume their practice in Orlando, expecting more news related to the covid-19 testing of the teams.
Oh crap!
This is one of the problems.
They will need to check everyone including other members outside the team then run another test if proven positive.
Just to avoid another mess if someone slips away.

Are they brewing something again?  Grin
