I don't feel safe that's why I just choose to stay at home.

Well, sometimes I have no option but to go out since I have to buy for our food, but every time I go out, I also follow the protocol which is to observe social distancing and wearing of mask. Our health is very valuable and our money as well, if we get infected that entails money again that we have to spend and its not good to spend at this time that the economy are not doing good.

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!


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.



We got news!

Nice move by the Nets here.

Undermanned Nets signing Jamal Crawford, nearing deal with Michael Beasley



Good to know that Crawford is not done yet.

I like him when he was still playing with the Clippers, as reserved, he can contribute quality minutes to the team.

His stats says that he is very consistent with the Clippers team - https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/crawfja01.html

This news is even so cute - Former Clipper Jamal Crawford to Sign with Brooklyn Nets

It dd not recognize the two teams Crawford has previously played.

We all see that, in fact I haven't seen good ICO or successful ICO at the moment and most ICO who were successfully raise a good amount during its popularity are now slowly losing its market.
unfortunately what is happening right now is as you say. some who say success at IEO just disappear in the market and they seem to lose investor support. I guess they are just manipulating the sales that are happening.
It's possible because in the end, the money will just still go in their wallet and they are always in control with it.
Not only in IEO, I think manipulation is happening more during the times of the popularity of IEO as there are projects that can raise $100 million or more but it does not even give the investors a good sign that the project is progressing or eventually they will just disappear.

Sometimes figure is use as an enticing factors to investors, so we need to be careful.
4124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The return of ICOs on: July 09, 2020, 06:09:01 AM
I think if the cryptocurrency market returns to its previous state, the ICO will also return.
I don't think so, we IEO, I think this one will gain more investors as lowly people are forgetting the ICO.

Currently the cryptocurrency situation is very bad so the ICOs are scared. So I think if the market is good then different companies will come back again.

Whining every now and then, if i have a say with the Sixers team, i would ship him out and replace him with a talented and non-vocal one  Grin.

Others might see him as a boastful player but I will choose Embiid to stay with the team. I'd rather ship out Ben Simmons and find another PG to be pair with Embiid. Smiley Simmons is a valuable player to trade and Sixers will get good players in return. Only few big men remain dominant today so I will pick Embiid to stay.

Believed it or not, he is the only Sixers that playing with heart. Remember that when they lose to Raptors last playoffs, it looks like an end of the day to him and literally cried on that loss. Sixers is more on relying on perimeter and inside offense. That's what they need to focus on it and Embiid is the best player to put on that role.

But of course, it doesn't mean that even he will be the main offense, others will not step up.

We are talking of $170M contract here.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2843932-ben-simmons-76ers-agree-on-5-year-170m-max-contract-extension

That's a huge amount and if they will trade him, they can get good outside shooters in return I guess.

With Ben Simmons  offense and defense talent, he is very valuable to the team, that's the reason he was given a max contract by the 76ers.
However, it doesn't mean that it will already make the team successful, chemistry is really the most important for the team to be successful for the 76ers to have that, they need to ship a player ruining the chemistry of the team, it could be either Embiid or Simmons.

Here's their stats.

What we are enjoy now is an "anonymous gambling" is very satisfying to us, but will it be in danger when the market is fully regulated?

To express my personal opinion, I think that anonymity is not fully protected even in today's conditions. I think there will be no anonymity, especially when online casino services are becoming more popular and more popular. 
As long as we don't give our information to them and yet we are still allowed to gamble, I believe we are doing an anonymous gambling.
In terms of IP address, we can always hide that using VPN services, so we can always keep our anonymity 100%.

As I mentioned, I think that even though there is no regulation today, the services we use do not happen in the future as I think that our identity or other information is not stored anonymously. In addition, we should not forget the fact that this process we are talking about is not very far away.

It might come sooner or later, we never know as I'm pretty sure that the government are also watching us, they are just waiting for the right timing to implement or still making the right regulation on how to treat crypto casinos, with regulation, it makes gives them a boost of their taxes, so there is no reason they will not touch us.
4128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: July 08, 2020, 10:59:47 AM
Besides, If one goes to casino pretty sure one can loss money a lot but with online games one can spend little by little depending on how you want to play since you have the control over your bet and most of gambling platform had no minimum bet even cents could dovin betting.

Pretty controversial moment. When you go to a physical casino you have a certain amount of money on hand, after losing that you will either have to go for a new amount or stop the game.

When you play in an online casino, all your money is with you, and in theory you can gamble until you spend it all. Being at home is too great a temptation to recoup, and making a deposit will take all a couple of minutes.

It's almost the same, and it's just really up to you.

Even if you are not in a land based casino and you are just gambling at home, you can still lose millions of dollars if have access to your bank account.

When you play alone, that's where you will easily get tempted especially if you don't have the discipline, but if you are in a casino, at least some people might be watching you and can give you some advise.

Chandler Parsons got the biggest contract in the list, so probably that's worst.

This is the news pertaining to that figure.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/16679527/chandler-parsons-agrees-max-deal-memphis-grizzlies

and his stats was very disappointing ,

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/parsoch01.html

His best times in basketball was with the Rockets, probably injuries are the main reason on the drop of stats.

The negative trends is continuing those days. LTC investment plunged again but also BTC investors continued to lose their funds. Hard days for us investors by lucky whales Sad
I also saw my profits slowly withering away as days go by Cheesy.

Not affected on it TBH. Like I always said, I've seen crypto going up and down already so this is not new for me Cheesy. I knew it already that investing in a Gambling site takes time to have some profits. Not all gamblers are losing their money anyway. There will be some who will come out lucky and will get our profits away Cheesy.

This is correct that not every day will be same and investing in gambling site just like others have the risk and one should be ready to bear those risk. Though it generally does not happen that easily but once a while a lucky whale wins big and thus results into losses for the investors who had invested such sites. Anyways in longer term this will yield you profits its only matter of time.


Try to see it through a bigger picture, if there are casinos out there that got bankrupt because whales hit big time, then it's right to believe that they are a threat, but there's none, because casinos have limits and they know what they are doing, they don't need to win all the time but they will certainly win most of the time.
4131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The return of ICOs on: July 07, 2020, 09:45:43 AM
I still see some successful ICOs in raising funds, but it does not help investors to be profitable. When listed in exchanges, its price drops several times and disappoints many investors
Because raising funds is not enough, we have a lot of ICOs in the past that raise over $100 million but they are nowhere to be found now or they are already inactive, so how much more a project that raises a small amount and they want to be successful in this tough crypto market times.
4132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you hide your identity with bitcoin? (100%) on: July 06, 2020, 06:32:35 AM
I'm not an expert here but I believe it would be hard to trace our IP though the blockchain is very transparent, we can still be anonymous as long as we don't use a centralized platform like an exchange where we need to comply with the KYC requirement.

one proof that IP cannot be trace is the fact that we can't trace who owns the biggest holders of bitcoins or what we called the whales.
4133  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: COVID19 and Its effect on Bitcoin & Altcoin Price? Your Thoughts ! on: July 06, 2020, 06:11:29 AM
when Covid19 appeared, all stock prices and of course the crypto currency had a terrible dump that occurred in march, but for the crypto currency recovery was very fast, and became a good investment this year

Crypto as such as not taken that hit which stock markets have gone through as it has fallen badly due to pandemic situation across the globe. Also , people would have moved their investment for the falling stock market to crypto and this would have given the push and also helped crypto to not fall much or to recover from the fallen price.


True, crypto is quite stable despite of the pandemic that cause an economic collapse to some countries.
Bitcoin is still surviving, at the current price now which is $9K, this is quite a good price compared to the price it dump earlier this year.

I think bitcoin will not anymore dropped this year and my best guess is that it will stay at least $10k by the end of the year.
But of course, no effect positively for altcoins.

4136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some college students in Alabama bet money to see who gets COVID19 first on: July 03, 2020, 04:05:21 PM
The problem, is that probability for them to die from virus is very low (young people), but they have relatives and most american (as an european) zoomers living with them in one house. This is real shit.


Well, we will never know. The possibility is still there even if it is low. And as you said, they are with their relatives. Because of this non-sense bet, the virus will spread faster than they have imagined. They should realize that this is not the time to make a bet like that.

Probably they would be educated guys and still doing such things really scares everyone and hope so someone enlighten them and they became extra precautions and going forward will be extra careful with such things. We hope no one dies of this virus and if tested positive recovers soon and become fit like before.

They know what they are doing, they planned to host a party and invite people with covid-19. 

What scares me also is that there are still people who are willing to go in a party despite the fact that USA is leading with the number of cases, and in Alabama alone, there's over 40K cases although they have a very good recovery rate as over 20k also has recovered.

This is horrible, what's wrong with the world today? instead of helping everyone to combat this deadly virus, they found some way to entertain themselves with horrifying acts. these people, if they are really true to their motives, they need to be caught and sentenced to prison as soon as possible and also they need to send these guys to somewhere in the middle of the desert or to the worse prison in the world.
These students are still immature, they maybe on drugs that's why they are not thinking very well, they have education but it seems like they are not using what they learn in a good way, it's not the time to joke around and I think if they are just trippin, somebody has to tell them they are creating a serious crime here.

This news about Jr Smith started on a Facebook page transferring to Lakers and it's confirmed that he's going to be with the Lakers. It made me remember the famous meme about him and Lebron, who else did?  Grin

Honestly, that meme is not notable to me. I don't remember J.R Smith from that. He is one of the core players that contributes to the success of 2017 Cavaliers. That's what I always remember him that way and not on that meme.

Exactly!
People need to stop making those meme a laughing stock, as If Jr has no contribution to each and every step the Cavs are successful with.
As far as I could remember he was also one of the core players along side with Carmelo in Denver on his early days averaging 15points per game, and battled against the Lakers in 2009 Western conference finals.

Btw, I'm happy they're reunited again.

I am happy too. I almost forget about this but it popped up in my facebook recently about what I shared two years ago.
I was a meme that's not suppose to happen, but now it will come into reality.

4139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The return of ICOs on: July 03, 2020, 11:02:35 AM
I think with the ico return, it proves that altcoin can still be made for safe and secure investment media. at this time many new ico have emerged with more accurate projects, we as altcoin enthusiasts should help advance the project and provide full support.besides that at this time there are many things that we can look for or dig deeper information because now altcoin has many people who know him and cooperate with the altcoin project.

Can you at least name some of the ICO you believe has an accurate projects? And do you think they'll be successful in raising funds based on their target?

Sorry, but I really have no hope for ICO anymore now that we already have IEO which is more successful and we have exchanges like Binance who make IEO projects successful.
4140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The return of ICOs on: July 03, 2020, 10:31:27 AM
ICO's will always be there and it didn't left the crypto world so the word "Return of ICO's" is somewhat misleading because we didn't see ICO vanished.
Maybe what OP is trying to imply is the return of successful ICOs like we usually see before and during the bull run.
For now, ICO are not anymore attractive because there's already an IEO, so I doubt ICO would still return on its good state .

What we saw is just a big downside of successful new projects within the past years because of the  numerous scams that happened. ICO didn't leave but it really isn't that profitable anymore for the investors as most of the new projects are very hard to trust anymore because of the scams. Investors have low to no interest in investing to this new projects anymore and I don't think that it will comeback soon like what ICO is in around 2017.

Because there's a new platform already which is safer to invest with, and since IEO involves exchanges, this would also easily give investors a job when it comes to studying the project as exchange reputation itself is already a big factor of the success of the IEO.
