That's a good story and that should also be the same story of every member of this forum.
Everyday there is a chance that we might bump into one guy which just want to be rich.
Just to get up from the cruel life which he had been.
But bitcoin ain't the answer for all of that. We should explain it well first before bragging at where we are now.
Take them back to your own story of how much hardship you did before making it out.

Thank you for reminding that to the people here again.

Been reading a lot about this types of prediction and all of them are telling about the $10.5k mark which need to be destroyed first.
Do they have some kind of a group or something?
It's difficult to believe that this people are not on the circle of friends since most of them are almost the same and also the explanation.

Anyway, I doubt it will happen very soon.
The resistance before was like 9k or something but still it went forward.
But as we go near the halving more hype will come.

By the way, Steph Curry is expected to play on Sunday. He is surely missed by his followers. Hope no injuries for him this time.
I just read about this. I cannot blame him for wanting to play but the season is over for the Warriors and I prefer that he just rest and prepare for the next season to avoid further injuries. Kerr should just limit his minutes if the main reason to make Steph play is for fans entertainment.

Does NBA have a rule now against teams not letting their healthy players suit up for the game (i.e. load management)?

That won't happen. They are paid to entertain people and they must do it if they are all healthy.
I think they are just letting this circumstances before the end of the season. Like 2 to 3 games before the start of the playoffs.

24 games left for them and they are at 12 wins only.
Even if they perfect it, I don't think Grizzlies will just have 36 wins before the playoffs. Maybe more.
Plus, it is difficult to perfect all that 24 wins.  Grin
Maybe he will just play, but not that hard.

30 percent of softcap is way too low.
I don't think they could stand with that kind of amount of money.
The very least is to to fill that softcap at 100 percent for the project to continue.

It looks like a lot of money for us but they will also need to pay employees and people which they hired for just a short time like advisers and a lot more.
It may not even be enough yet.
Shit happens, and this is one example of that.
4305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: February 26, 2020, 12:30:52 AM
I still do not understand why people think Ben Simmons is a start that makes so much difference to that team. Dude is a 16 point player with ZERO three point talent and just scores around the rim all the time, he has some rebounding and assist talents which I can understand why makes him more valuable but this dude was compared to Giannis when he first came into the league and was wondering which one would be the next Lebron.
Analysts taking it too far.
A pointguard against a forward with a height of a center. Is that really a pair to have a good comparison?
I don't think so.
Why does it have to be always about the three point shooting capability?
You could always hire players with that specialty but that doesn't mean everyone should have it.
This ain't a Rockets team.

he is not THAT big of a deal if you ask me.
Tell that after 2 more years.
Yes, it may not be now. But who knows? If they play harder this coming playoffs then it will blow all of those analysts minds.
They will suddenly talk about Simmons for a lot of time.  Cheesy

A possible East Finals match up will play tomorrow, so I will bet on the game while enjoying it.

These two teams are very consistent but my bet here would go to the home team, I would treat it like a playoff game where the home team takes the advantage, and in addition to that, Bucks are on B2B, came from a win in OT against the Wizards, so that again is another advantage by the home team.

My pick : Raptors +1.5

Going the other way again.  Grin
I will go Bucks -3.5 @2.22.  Wink

You said it, it will be like a playoffs or a Finals game.
I will really watch this one and try to analyze what could be the possible ending in the East.
Raptors may be strong but so does the Bucks.
One day rest should be enough or they could still be hot from the last 2 wins.
4307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin boom or burst ? how to analyzed? on: February 25, 2020, 02:42:19 PM
There is no such thing as an accurate analysis. All of them are just a speculation or a prediction.
Always remember that, so that you will never confuse anything. Most of the new ones does.

They all think there is always an explanation for everything but there is none.
Even with the fluctuation upwards that is happening is being connected to something. War, Chinese President announcement, CoronaVirus, etc, etc.
You name it, they will try to explain it with a wide extension of fake facts.  Grin

Amazing performance by Embiid on a win against the Hawks, the big fella scored 49 points along with 14 rebounds in this win.
So to those who are asking if the which player the management will pick between Him and Simmons, here's the answer.

I have still the same opinion.
They won't trade any of these two.

I think they are wise enough to make this guys to ripe and then after that they could take on a championship game.
They are almost there.
Simmons is also trying some new training circle and we are actually seeing that.
Embiid though is a different story. He is improving fast. He also tries to be serious now instead of being a clown which he did last year.

76ers management may already be aware of that.
4309  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tom Lee 2020 Bitcoin to 30k on: February 25, 2020, 09:08:51 AM
I'd rather believe this shy type of a prediction rather than $100k.  Cheesy

Most of them are going upwards but let us also be real at what is in front of us.
Ethereum also has an upcoming event which is already pulling a lot of buyers.
That just means the invested money is being divided. They might stay with the bitcoin which they already have and not add more.
But, they will always try the cheaper coin. I won't go XRP of course, I also would rather pick Ethereum.

Some great odds for later games without handicaps.
Wizards (home) @9.00 vs Bucks
Knicks (away) @ 10.00 vs Rockets
T'Wolves (away) @7.80 vs Dallas

The demon of me is telling something again.  Grin

Allow that demon to dictate you , lol.. I will even suggest that you parlay all the heavy underdogs so you will get a total odds of 702.
$10 at least for a minimum, you'll get at least $7000, good luck mate, do it fast. lol
That Wizards vs Bucks game was something else.
I think many lose a lot of money from here. It was just a 3 point deficit win from the Bucks.
They may have input handicaps for the Bucks.

Well, I didn't win any of those games but still it was fun specially the Wizards game.  Grin
I just put a little bet in it. Yeah, a gamble as we call it.


And the worst aside from that Pacers' horrible performance, one of their player, Jeremy Lamb suffered a season-ending injury. So unfortunate.
A good contributor for the Pacers team. They may need to recreate their plays for this loss.
A bad news indeed but they are still on the 6th seed at 33 wins while Nets at 7th with 26. They could still arrange everything for change of plays.
4311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't just hold your altcoins for a long time! on: February 25, 2020, 05:36:06 AM
It is actually happening.
At January of this year 2020, one of my altcoin is valued at 3.5 Ethereum and now it is freaking .6 Ethereum.
Been holding it for like 2 years by now just waiting for the ICO to be fruitful and their roadmap to be completed.
But hell, it is like someone is selling way too much. I bet it is one of the large investors or worse it could be the developers themselves.

There is no more update in Telegram group but there is still some at Twitter. I don't really know if I should still hold it. I am at large loss by now.
The only choice is too wait for more updates.

He’s very successful but he’s a dinosaur. He’s not going to be interested in new tech because he doesn’t need to be. Ignore him & his negative comments.

I was going to say the same thing but he got first.
He stretched out most of what I am going to comment here.  Grin
How did you do that smiley with a teary eye?
That is more important to me than hearing all the words from that man.

One of the problem with old people. (specially the rich one) Not much of them care about the new technology anymore.
He would prefer a war.  Grin
4313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: February 24, 2020, 12:55:07 PM

Yeah, they still won against Pistons despite Lillard's injury.
But, they are going to have a lot of problems since the list of injured players from the Blazers team is getting longer.

Pelicans schedule will be hell.
Two games against the Lakers then Dallas and Heat.
But they need to win all of this games. They are at the 10th now and they don't want to be at losing streaks.
Snatch one of that games against the Lakers then also try to win over the Heat.
They might have a chance with Dallas and Heat but Lakers are too strong, and if every they'll get to that top 8 spot, they'll have to face the Lakers which could possibly give them an early exit.

Will it be a battle of two rookies for the 8th seed or will it be the veteran coach who still have his magic of getting another playoffs spot.  Wink
Exciting to see how they will push through to win every game.

Some great odds for later games without handicaps.
Wizards (home) @9.00 vs Bucks
Knicks (away) @ 10.00 vs Rockets
T'Wolves (away) @7.80 vs Dallas

First time I have read this.
I didn't know that there are other calculations that are being made just to continue the mining industry.
I don't think so.
If they stop, then new ones will come. The difficulty level will also decline which means it will be easier for new miners.
Plus, I don't really think they would just give it up considering how much money they had already spent for all the hardware.

Also, the market doesn't work that way. It will not be ordered by someone or manipulated by anyone just like that.
It will depend on demand.
4315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: February 24, 2020, 07:52:44 AM
Grizzlies is at 28 at 8th seed and 25 for Blazers.

Pelicans are losing against strong teams like Bucks and Thunders but never with the lower seeds.
As of their 10 games, they only lose against the Rockets, Bucks and Thunders. They really got stronger with the addition of Zion.

Grizzlies might slide down from the 8th seed, their second leading-scorer Jaren Jackson Jr. is expected to miss a few weeks with a sprained knee.

Out of three teams chasing MEM, Blazers have the easiest schedule at least on paper (next 10 games).

Yeah, they still won against Pistons despite Lillard's injury.
But, they are going to have a lot of problems since the list of injured players from the Blazers team is getting longer.

Pelicans schedule will be hell.
Two games against the Lakers then Dallas and Heat.

Oh thank you stadus for pointing that +6.5 out.
Yeah, we won!  Grin
Finally, a good win after so many losses.

Somehow the Warriors are doing fine.
I am at -7.5 here for the Pelicans. I hope they could come back at the 2nd half.
Damion Lee is doing all the work and he is freaking 18 points by now.
4317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: February 23, 2020, 03:45:56 PM
PICK : CELTICS +6.5 (small ml too)
Celtics is not a bad road team, so they might win SU in this game, even against the best team in the West.
Lebron and Davis will play their combo is expected to be outstanding, however we also can't underestimate the Boston since they also a good team which is very unpredictable, if Tatum won't score much, let's expect others to step up,.. No Walker but there's brown.

They have 16 - 11 Road road record or 59.25% winning rate, and with that rate I am winning to gamble with a good point spread given to the Celtics.
Granted as 3.10 without handicap I think your choice is better. I might go that way, just to be sure. @1.93 is not that bad although we really want the highest.
Kemba Walker will not be playing so their offense might be difficult to achieve.
I am seeing Tatum here working his magic. I just hope so.
Also hoping for Brown to have a good night. 2 days of rest should be enough flying to the West. I am also betting for the Celtics here.
4318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A game that educates people about Bitcoin on: February 23, 2020, 02:22:05 PM
A game that would teach others about BTC is a good idea but the difficulty would be sharing it with the people that need it most.

People on Herr already know about BTC at some extend so that hardest part of the project is reaching the right audience and getting them to play the game?

How do you suggest or how do you plan on doing this?

Marketing is always a challenge.

My plan is to spread the word amongst people who know about bitcoin and want to help their friends and family understand bitcoin a little bit.

That is why feedback and game testing from people who know about a bitcoin, for example the people here, is important part of my development plans.

As a fallback, I plan to approach bitcoin exchanges and sell them the idea of making the game available to their users or use the game as a tool for acquiring new users.

The fallback plan is really a plan to use in case everything else fails. I would love to see the community finding the tool/app/game I am developing to be a useful thing.

It might really work. I can see you are really into it.
You could post some links here next time or maybe an announcement if the game is in beta test.
Some of us could try it and could also help see any errors if there will be.
Like bugs, or something which had been forgotten to be fixed.

I really hope next time we will be seeing your project here first.  Grin Good luck!
4319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: February 23, 2020, 11:57:22 AM

you are not, you are even brave enough to follow what's in your mind, don't bet against yourself, that's a stupid strategy if you intend to consider gambling as a long term activity. It's alright to lose sometimes but make sure you go with your goal which is to win most of the time.

I will put that on my notes.

Boston is given 3.15 against the Lakers but without Kemba. Could Tatum and Brown handle the strong Lakers?
Oh! this one is sweeter.
Spurs @ 2.70 against OKC. Wow! They just won against them last Wednesday. This might be a good bet. No injury reports, as of my own knowledge.

Putting a little too for the Pelicans -7.5 @1.77 against the Warriors. This might be a no doubt win.
4320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: February 23, 2020, 08:43:28 AM
Let's keep making these bookies pay 😊😊

That's the mission, and hopefully you guys keep winning... so this thread will be more popular.
Today, all the posters who share their bets here wins, let's keep this going.

Looking forward for some early leans for tomorrow's games.


Yeah, please make me win too.
All of your winnings came from me. I have great losses that I am not proud of.

There are times when I don't want to follow some of the predictions here and go against it.
I don't know man! It is like a hobby of mine to oppose the stronger one with a lot of chances of winning.  Cheesy
Am I sick?  Grin
