Gemini’s GUSD is apparently also depegging. I think it’s because Gemini is insolvent and trying to stay alive as a zombie long enough to recoup loss of customer funds. There are also rumors of many liberal celebrities like Harry and Meghan along with Oprah losing millions of dollars as a result of Silicon Bank’s collapse. I don’t know how true that is but it’s interesting that they would have their money in such an under collateralized bank.

I agree. If anything, it’s likely that Yogg is still posting here with alt accounts and attempting to further benefit from his scam using the charity angle to collect a portion of the donated funds. I think it’s horrible what he did but it’s impossible to fairly or equally compensate all victims at this point. The whole situation is awful and I’m not trying to discourage donations. If there were any way to fairly distribute funds to all victims I’d donate myself. I just don’t see how that could be possible.

That’s a good point. I think there are people out there that get discouraged gambling, and will pretty much bet on anything if it has a chance to be better than their own opinion. I often find myself looking at the list of recent bets, and just following other peoples crazy high odds multibet predictions with a dollar bet hoping to hit me a 3000 to 1 score. It’s just fun sometimes.

A safe bet? Definitely not. Betting against Giannis Antetokounmpo is always a risk. That being said, the Warriors are unbelievable at home this year so they have a good chance. Honestly though I think the bucks are a better team and while the Warriors might be better together and with a better coach they definitely won’t be able to easily beat the bucks.

That Spurs game was a crazy upset. Should’ve put something down on them I guess. I think the odds were 7 to 1. All the other games tonight have been really close down to the wire games. A good night for exciting NBA basketball. I just wish the Nuggets didn’t lose.

I took advantage of the 76ers slow start to get a bet in with some decent odds. Hopefully they make a come back as it isn’t looking so great right now. I couldn’t resist getting in a couple of good parlays with those odds though. Hoping Denver pulls off an easy win tonight as well or else all my bets for the night are going to be toast.

I agree with you that it’s unusual for them to send all of that BTC to Coinbase. I haven’t heard anything about an imminent auction though. It seems like they definitely are looking at cashing it out. Otherwise I don’t see why they would have sent it there at all. Hopefully they aren’t but you never know when it comes to the government. Common sense would say to wait two more years but…

I’d like to think I know who I am, but that’s a lot easier than knowing how other people see you. I’m always surprised at the differences in people’s opinions of myself. I hear both that I am a saint and sinner that I am generous and greedy. I guess it’s hard to always be your best self, but you also can’t control other people’s projections of themselves onto their opinions of you.

Stablecoins? It’s always a good time to change those into BTC. If you don’t the people behind the scenes of the stablecoin will do it with your money and keep the gains while leaving you the risk. I am not super confident we won’t retest $16K but I think the smart move remains buying as much BTC as you’re able as frequently as possible for this entire year.

Some new details about the Cybertruck have emerged.

The most interesting claims in my opinion are that all models will come with rear wheel steering (makes sense for simplfying production) and that there will only be two models developed. A 2-motor version and a performance 3-motor version.  This is the first I've heard of Elon cancelling the single motor variant and it also indicates he is no longer planning a 4-motor variant.  Still exciting hearing more details as we inch closer to production of this monster machine from the future.

I'm still not all in on betting on the Lakers yet even after their recent performance either.  They've burned me too many times with false hope now.  When LeBron comes back from his injury, if they take it to another level and start beating really good teams without injured star players then I might start getting excited for the playoffs.  I think Phoenix is still the team to beat though if KD can stay healthy.  Crazy how injuries have become such a major role in today's NBA.

I think Bitcoin has the support of enough billionaires and Wall Street fund managers that it will likely rise again even if nobody is using it. Folks are stacking and I think rich folks with investment income are going to propel BTC to six figures no matter what happens. The market is too small with too much support to not bubble up every four years. This coming recession will be the biggest test for BTC’s price ever.

The market’s purpose is almost exclusively to take your money. It is a machine that works against emotions to get people to take losses and invest at high prices. It is best to avoid the fluctuations, create a long-term plan, and stick with it.

Legitimate concerns for sure. Portland is definitely more likely to win a game then the Spurs and the Trailblazers are in the playoff hunt so they’re motivated. Dame has also been playing amazingly the last couple months. The 76ers have been playing well too though and are a much more stacked team. Even if Dame does have a great game, it’s Philly’s play that will determine the winner.

I’m still new to the idea of gambling in order to reach certain bonuses offered by casinos. I think the largest bonus I can recall was only around $18. I admittedly don’t claim weekly bonuses and things like that though. Mostly because I would need to be in a telegram group and that feels dirty to me. I know that hunting for bonuses is quite popular though and see that Stake offers many several thousand dollar bonuses for hitting certain jackpots on casino games.

If this is something you’re going to continue to do going forward, might I suggest that you edit the original post on this thread to show your previous picks as well as your currently active pick so that people can see your performance over time without having to search through the entire thread. Then if your performance is good, it can be easily seen and followed.

I agree that it would be a great addition to Bitcoin if one could store BTC in their Apple wallet. I also think that Tim Cook probably has people working on just that. However, it has to be a pretty massive liability for Apple if their phones are holding BTC and it’s a native application. I’m not sure the benefits outweigh the liabilities for Apple at this time. However, Tim Cook does own BTC, so I’m sure at some point in the distant future he will be providing more support for it.

Even if they/them (see what I did there?) are talking about cryptocurrencies, the answer is the same. No. You have to look no further than the second most popular cryptocurrency in the world, Ethereum, which can no longer be mined as a result of their fork to ETH2.0. Thousands of others have similar chains that aren’t mined to create new coins.

This depends on if you want to be a millionaire on paper or if you actually want to have a million dollars in a bank account somewhere. If you want to just say you’re a millionaire then DeFi is the place for you. You can get locked into some shitcoin with massive interest payouts and if you’re early will no doubt be a millionaire on paper for a while. When it unlocks the value crashes and all your money is gone, but for a while you can say you’re a millionaire on paper. That’s the fastest and easiest way. The long hard way is to invest in Bitcoin and help grow the community instead of shilling shitcoins, but that takes 8 years and dedication.

The footage was pretty damning to the narrative that this was a worse attack on America than September 11th. Yes, some idiot liberals were actually trying to push that…

What I still can’t believe is that they’re complaining about the footage seeing the light of day instead of being happy that the truth is getting out there. A government that fears truth is a dangerous thing and the liberal agenda for the last 3 years has been to censor the truth. Not cool.
