I did differently but okay, damn it I was fooled. I am going to tell my foolishness.

I tried to freaking clean that dirt in the "spreading" word. I thought it was just some kind of dust.
It took me minutes before I realize it.
You got me!

Transparency.
They really should. It ain't a shame but to save more people.
What if this 2 guys forgot where they had been while they are already carrying the virus.

Yeah. If you will notice, LeBron James' name is always on the news during the quarantine period. If I will apply my "non-sense" observation, either he's is really virus-free or they are creating this regular exposure of him to show people that he's healthy.

According to the report, it's Lakers' discretion not to named those players. I don't see any negative impact on any team if they named those players. They are honestly good at hiding some clues. But one thing I'm sure, the involved players are part of the main core.

As of now, 4 of their players are confirmed negative: Davis, McGee, Dudley, and Cook leaving 13 remaining players who still not disclosing their status.


I have the same speculation but it may not be true.  Grin
It's either Davis or James.
But what the heck! On the other team it was also superstars who are named immediately by the press.

Holy crap!

NBA Bylaws 6.23: If the season ends prior to April 1, the team with the best record in the year the NBA Finals will be held shall be crowned the undisputed champion.
https://clutchpoints.com/nba-bylaw-states-champion-will-be-crowned-via-best-record-if-season-is-cancelled/

I didn't even have the slightest thought that there is such a rule.
But the image looks wrong which is the Lakers holding the trophy.
It will be the Bucks.  Grin

Quote
To be clear, the rule states that the team that will be crowned as champions will be the team with the best record for the current calendar year. The Milwaukee Bucks may lead the NBA with a 53-12 record on the season, but it is actually the Lakers who have the best record since January. Milwaukee currently holds a 24-7 record in 2020, while L.A. stands at 24-6. This would mean that the Lakers will be crowned as the 2019-20 champions, handing LeBron his fourth NBA title in his career.
Happy April!

I was shocked by the extent of where you will compare it.
Freedom of speech is way different than having a decentralized coin.

You said it already, it is transparent, there is record of every transaction that will happen.
Democracy is different, it is about people having more rights.
While in bitcoin, it is more like not having an owner (boss, whatever they call it) but for the people only or those who owns bitcoin themselves.
Manipulation is the only problem within it, since the rich could buy most of it by now. But of course there will be a solution for every problem.

https://twitter.com/idrcwtvr/status/1241101339473711104

Is one of them Lebron?  Grin
If this is Lebron, I think they'll announce that, that would make a big headline to the NBA.


Lebron: https://twitter.com/adreaonah/status/1240821383057285122

Even Twitter guys are having the same problem looking for clues.  Grin Maybe Dora the Explorer could help about this.

We might not find it at this time.
Maybe when the game starts again if they will have the courage to reveal it.
What is the difference between the Utah Jazz and Brooklyn Nets against the Lakers? Is it because its LA or is it because its Lebron?
I mean, how come they'd go to this extent of keeping it?
4085  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the government understand? on: March 31, 2020, 12:17:36 PM
I asked myself about this for some time.
What if this takes longer?
Bad things will happen on the street. No more security and people will start fighting for food.
The people's tax is what is being used by now but those officials get their salary from it too.
I bet they would want to use it for themselves first rather than giving it.
This world will become a survival of the strongest. Sure is unfair but what could we do about it?
We can't go to the streets to push those officials into doing something about it since the virus could spread more if people are in place.

As I see it, it became a social media battle by now. It's bad but we need to go through this. I am one of those average human who might get hungry anytime if this takes longer.
4086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: March 31, 2020, 09:18:06 AM
Looks like the Lakers will not name their 2 positive players which were diagnosed last March 19. Don't know the reason or maybe to prevent further panic and stress on these players but what do you think guys, is it necessary to name these players? For me, yes and no. YES, because teams must always be open to the public and NO because they assuring that they are following the protocol to contained these players.


Transparency.
They really should. It ain't a shame but to save more people.
What if this 2 guys forgot where they had been while they are already carrying the virus.

If they will broadcast it there is a chance someone will remember they got near this two and save their lives when checked.
It is really that big of a company to cover this all.
Gobert, Mitchell and even the Knicks owner was revealed, so why not them? It's BS. Is one of them Lebron?  Grin
4087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will 2020 be exactly what we hoped for anymore on: March 31, 2020, 05:41:15 AM
Not anymore.
This might become one of the worse year in world economy and financial industry.

Market, employment, food and even entertainment industry is affected.
Bitcoin cannot dodge that too since it is in the financial industry.
Although there are some who are making lots of money out of all this bad events.
Youtube, facebook, twitter, Google and other social media companies out there.
They can even make their advertisement to a full pack one minute and people would not care since they have nothing to do.

Bad side:
Kids are getting naughty.  Grin

Now is official and we have a new date.

The games will be from 23rd July 2021 to 8th August 2021

I think that should be enough for another preparation since they may all be slower by now with all the food they might be taking and not doing much in their house.  Grin Twitter won't make you fit.  Cheesy
You cannot even do a jog outside.
All you can do is exercise at home. What if you don't have the equipment or the space?

But for teams who will lose some of their players because of this freaking virus a year may not be enough to hunt another.
I hope there are no casualties for Olympic players, better for every country.
4089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Olympics 2020 Discussion Thread on: March 30, 2020, 05:12:32 PM
We are already feeling the sports betting effects even now with the house quarantines in the world.
I guess the one's gaining now are the casino types of games like dicing, poker and roulette.

Well, the Olympics is all about the world competing with each other which most likely will end up in a good sportsman relation.
Now, we could still do that by helping each other in times of need. This virus could be telling something to the world. No more war.
4090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Calling the Bitcoin community to help battle COVID-19 on: March 30, 2020, 03:35:18 PM
I will agree with the tweeter share but not with the download thing.
I want to keep my computer clean or even my smartphone if it is an android application.
Sorry about that.

Well, I do share battling COVID by staying at home and just follow what the government says about time management of just when to go out.
Also sharing this with my family so that they will stay at home keep themselves safe and their neighbors.
4091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are you doing now? on: March 30, 2020, 02:26:43 PM
Switch to dicing.

Good bonuses occur at Yolodice weekly.
You could click my signature link if you want to try.

The weekly bonus just restarted like 12 hours ago.
It is not yet late to make it. The weekly wagering competition prize is getting larger by now.
4092  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Price Halving succeed with Currently Situation on: March 30, 2020, 12:42:24 PM
I am very sure the success of bitcoin can only be delayed, it cant ever be denied. Some are with the opinion the build up for bitcoin would manage the parabolic pump not to have such a devastating bear market like we have had, some also feel we cant have the 100k and beyond in the next bull, even Roger Var made the number of such predictors.

Now that the harsh rate had reduced massively will it postpone the halving beyond May?

Good point. As of now the bottom looks like the 6k mark and it is having a difficult time to go beyond that again.
But that is still just a price.
After all of this some people may suddenly look for another option to save their money and bitcoin is just around the corner.
They might discover it after this.
The thought of not touching anything will remain because of the pandemic. You want to just swipe something to pay for everything and not having a chance to be infected with all those coins and paper.
4093  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What the heck is happening to new projects? on: March 30, 2020, 09:28:17 AM
Been there, but not to join them but more like hunting where I could invest my money with.
Yes, it had changed a lot by now.
Before, you could really double your money or even triple it but now, it is more likely a failure at the end.

Well, bounty hunting had always been the choice of the hunter into which he want to support.
I bet there is still a few out there that could make it at the end and maybe even make their token valuable.
4094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: March 30, 2020, 06:35:03 AM
Pay per view can still work if it is money they will need.
It is better than nothing right?

Even though it's always about the bottom line for NBA, I strongly doubt the games will ever resume even with no crowd until there is a viable solution, vaccine perhaps. If there is some sort of containment, how then would they be sure of the players not being infected or what would be interval of players undergoing test again in cases of reinfection, as I don't presume being infected once would make immune to reinfection.
Oh that is true. They might be wasting too much test kits for every game if they want players to just play the game.
I won't do that. There are still a lot of people who are in need of those kits. Specially the old and the sick.



I would prefer changes to the number games played in the playoffs, best of 5 or 3, I'm even good with a single knockout match but, I'm not in support of changes to the current match rules, It will take more time for both referees and players to adapt to just so many changes.
Same. That is just one ridiculous idea. No foul out? You won't like that kind of game.
They just need to shorten the game if possible so that they could still award a champion.
4095  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is why I sold my 0.67 BTC!! on: March 29, 2020, 04:20:51 PM
Hello Community! What’s going on? Hope you guys are safe & staying home! Basically, I live in New York (I’m an expatriate indeed) & you guys know the current situation!! We are suffering badly, although I’m not scared of! Last night I sold my loving 0.67 BTC, since I need cash money!
I believe, in near future when the situation will be normal, I’ll buy it again since I have no doubt on the future of BTC & its use case! Please guys, stay home stay safe & don't forget to pray for us.

Here is one good reason of the recent dump.
So I bet those who are asking why are now answered.

I do sold some too. I need the money but just enough to not sell everything.
I still trust in bitcoin.
Although, it might also be a rare opportunity to buy back at a lower price later on if I sell now.
I am just not sure if that will happen since after this there might be a large pump that will come.
4096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping as a gambler? on: March 29, 2020, 03:16:52 PM
Sure do.

The difference is you did it now while some of us here are already doing it even without the quarantine that is happening.
It just got a little worse since they won't have much to do at home.

Well as of me, I always try my best to enjoy my family to avoid getting hooked too much with gambling although I still play at night when they are all asleep.  Grin
That is the beauty of having kids. You will not even feel that you have been playing with them with so much time you don't even notice it.

Tip: Don't even try to force your way into getting all that money back. You will lose more in the process.
4097  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin was never meant to be a hedge against a Global Pandemic on: March 29, 2020, 01:09:11 PM
Yeah, but the financial industry will need to heal first.
This would is getting deeper and deeper and even government officials are being forced to let the employees work just for the economy to sustain everything which is not a good look for me.

I'd rather see them alive the next month rather than forcing it just so the money could keep on coming.
People are the ones who will make it and without them then why would you want to make the economy better?
Let them be safe first so they will still have humans to govern.

<cut>

Regarding NBA pursuing a fan-less games, well it's a good plan, but I don't know if business owner are going to agree with that.

I have no idea what the NBA should do. But I know one thing, the NBA exists solely as a money-making machine. There's no point in playing games that don't generate profit.


Pay per view can still work if it is money they will need.
It is better than nothing right?

Anyways, even with the virus going on some people are still talking about money.
Gordon Hayward is being put in that rumors.

How do you survive in the current market situation?
If the bounty project is no longer profitable, what do you do now?

I am not going to waste the knowledge which I have experienced from being here.
You can do trade, you can just buy and hold for long term. There is a lot of possibilities with crypto currencies.
It's better if you are the boss rather than risking yourself into having a bad boss in different companies.
Sorry, just sharing my bad experience out there.
Well, as long as you can make money out of crypto currencies then there is nothing to worry about.
Besides, you are already in the future so what you just need is wait.

However that massive land, even with all the improvements in technology, is the trouble they have right now. Building test kits in multiple locations and distributing everyday all the time constantly without stopping is hard. Hospitals needs new kits every single second, they are literally keeping people in lockdown in hospitals until kits arrive, which is taking some time considering it is quite further apart from each other.


Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It takes time to go from East to West and that is why it is also taking a lot of time to send the cure if ever there is one.
But there is what we call technology so I bet they can do it faster by now.


NBA might actually be cancelled for good this year I am afraid, I want it back as well but it looks like it is getting more and more impossible each day.
I may have to agree with this. If not, then there will be a new arrangement to finish this season and another short cut for the next season.
That is to equal the the time spent with Covid-19 lockdown and then maybe afterwards they could start again with the normal kind of game.
