Fits really well. Great actually.

With Paypal or other services that are alike, there are many problems and it includes privacy related.
More players don't want to have the trouble of signing up again and being pushed to give their details just so they could buy a premium item for their in game character.
I have played a lot of online games and I really hate that they changed the way premiums should be.
Before you just need to scratch a card and then input it at the game website.
Now, you will need another account for buying game premiums.
With bitcoin or other alts it could be prevented.

Better, they will know more on how to stash their money. I am in vote to maximize this.
Game developers should include this option.

It will be difficult for them to just take out that large amount.
KYC will be needed so I don't think so.
They will need to hide themselves so 2 BTC a month may come out. Still a lot figure.
If they are doing it with different exchange then maybe like 20 BTC will be out in a month.

No, they cannot just dump it in an instant. They will be really careful with every transaction they will make.
They might even pay for mixers.

I've just learned that it's Chris Paul who proposed that kind of format to NBA All-Star to make it more competitive and no doubt, it's effective. Not the whole format in general but the thing called "Elan Ending". Though it did not follow the original score that should be added to the leading scorer after 3 quarters, as we know the +24 is a tribute to Kobe Bryant.
I just congratulate the one who set it up yesterday. I didn't know it was Chris Paul who had the idea. Wow! He is really one of the wisest in NBA.
We could see it with his plays. Always mentally active. Not much room for errors.
It was really a successful one.

...hopefully next all star it would be the team Giannis who would win and he well finally get an MVP award though.

Actually Giannis put a pride building his roster even last year. He can form a much better roster during the draft. It looks like he wanted to picks those underrated players for them to be recognized as a winning team against the most superstars. It surely a big achievement if that happens. But overall, both lineups are undoubtedly strong.

Next All-Star Game, if the Captain mode will still implement, I think he will get a shot again on being a Captain but Steph Curry will surely be included now on the voting list next year. As we know, Steph and LeBron always make it to the top in gathering All-Star votes. The reason they become the first captains in the changed format after East vs West series. I do hope LeBron got the 3rd place next year for a change lol although likely it won't happen for the next 1-2 seasons I believed.
Yeah, Team Giannis and Team Steph.  Grin No hates. Just a change.
Giannis is already gaining a lot of respect from other stars and so does Lebron.
Better try someone else just to see how they could also lead.

I cannot forget the post ups from Embiid with Harden defending him. They are getting serious down there, pushing and stuff.
When is the last time we saw someone posting up in an All Star game.  Grin
4324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: February 17, 2020, 08:25:16 PM
Team Giannis is a winner from 3 quarters and I bet they have a thought that they will win it. I did.

I think they only won the 2nd quarter, in the 3rd quarter, they are tied and in the 4th quarter it was Team Lebron who won because they rally from a big deficit. Here's the score per quarter : https://www.espn.com/nba/game?gameId=401197813

Yeah, I watched the game, but what I meant is like google might have thought the game winner was Giannis team.  Grin
This is just a system error since the scores are correct.

They should really make a repeat of this kind of system.
It was something new to compete with.
The really good thing about here is they cared about the charity they are supporting. They play really hard for them.
We all saw that.
4325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: February 17, 2020, 12:41:11 PM


Is it just me or Goggle made a mistake  Smiley?

I searched Goggle to see on which team won the All-Star game and it showed that "Team GIANNIS" won the game lol.

Lol, google might have put their bet on Team Giannis Grin Grin.,., that's clearly a mistake, as for me, I don't need to google it as I saw the entire game.
I did too.
It may not be an error from what they bet for but the score.
Team Giannis is a winner from 3 quarters and I bet they have a thought that they will win it. I did.
It was a sad ending since I am rooting for Gannis but the rules gave a better hand.
Freethrows won the game and not by a real shot.
Updates is a need to be made.
4326  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why I kept USDT on: February 17, 2020, 09:03:57 AM
So your USDT came from your own funds or did it came from selling bitcoin too?
That is your pair right? BTC/USDT?

So, how will you earn more bitcoin if  you will keep on selling it?
I mean, I know there is trading but then again, once it pops up again I bet you are going to sell all of those.
Ending to nothing and still preferring cash right?

It keeps on going on until when? I hope I did understand right.
I am seeing a buyer and also a seller but will never trust bitcoin at the end.
4327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Happy Bitcoin Valentine's Day! on: February 17, 2020, 08:32:50 AM
Wow! That was some solid act there.
Also, it will be a good way to make people aware of something which they might not knew.
If instructions for getting the money is all there then it will be an easy task.
They will just need a smartphone and internet and I think almost every human now have it. Hell! even kids do have it nowadays.  Cheesy

Somehow I have got some idea with this. Thank you.
4328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: February 17, 2020, 04:34:58 AM
I'm not sure if this was discussed earlier ( i couldn't find a post about it) but this year's all-star game format is slightly changed:

Each of the first three quarters will be, in essence, a 12-minute mini-game. The team that “wins” the quarter will receive a “winning” donation to charity. And the score at the start of the second and third quarters will be reset to 0-0.

But wait! The scores of the first three quarters for each team will be added up and posted to start the fourth. The cumulative score of the team that’s ahead, plus 24 points (Kobe’s uniform number), will be the final target score. The first team to reach that number will win the game, and there will be no clock.

Oh and no commercials throughout the 4th quarter which is pretty nice imo.

As an added bonus, the entire fourth quarter will be played commercial-free for the folks watching at home.

Somehow it gave a headache. But thank you for that.  Grin
Yeah, they reset the score at the 2nd and then the 3rd. A jumpball also for every reset.
Somehow I did understand it a little. Good thing they posted what the rule will be.
Team Lebron won the 1st at 53-41 then Team Giannis at 2nd 51-30 then equaled at 41 at the 3rd.
1st quarter is for Chicago scholars $100,000 Team Lebron.

They should repeat this, they really got serious in playing the game.
It's like every quarter is the 4th quarter.
Gobert making blocks? That is new.
I am impressed with the NBA mathematician, whoever that is.  Cheesy

Wait, Dame is a rapper?  Cheesy Despite the injury he played on his own tune.
4329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Metamask Reaches One Million Users on: February 16, 2020, 04:28:58 PM
That's great! That just means more profit from all the invested Ethereum that I bought from $130.  Grin

We are seeing also a lot of transaction. Which may be some clue that they are also getting into it.
Not just buyers but more like getting to know what crypto is.
Some of them might be a little late to experience the ATH of Ethereum but they will once again.
4330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mail Bombing in exchange of Bitcoin on: February 16, 2020, 03:19:10 PM
I thought the "bombing letter" was like the SMS type where people bombing text messages to other people.
That is how I understand the title. Maybe you should change it. But I think it is not off topic since bitcoin is being stained here once again.

It is the safest method without much of a trace. That dude whoever do this is a coward.
I just hope people are already aware of what bitcoin is really is and not just a tool for receiving money using evil deeds.
Sorry, bitcoin.

Man, they were all good at that skills challenge but he did really shine making those 3 points shots in just 1 or 2 attempts.

Bam you BAAM!  Grin
Trophy goes for his Mom.
Why do players always win it when their goal is for their Mommy?  Wink
I did! Smiley I guess nobody else thought he would of too since the odds were so juicy at 12.00x. Grin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223732.msg53847065#msg53847065
I just liked the way he moves on the court and he wasnt expected to win in his first appearance in this years skills competition.
What a juicy win. Who might taught that Bam will nailed this one, it's a surprise since he outperformed both Dinwiddie and Siakam before facing
Sabonis at the final set. Congrats to you with that high odd pick.

And Sabonis really did quite well.
He put down the defending champion.  Grin

Buddy Hield also made an upset. I really thought it will be Booker at the end. His hands are on freaking fire and then suddenly someone caught fire too.  Grin
Love watching the All-Star while they are having fun. Showing what sports is really meant to be.
Competing while smiling. Wow!

Why not just because there will be a halving that will come?  Wink
I think that is all the main reason of this increase.

Think of yourself as a buyer. Something like an investor and want to profit easily with just buying bitcoin.
Will you buy at a price that you cannot afford it anymore or gaining smaller number of bitcoin?
That may be the reason into why it is increasing in demand. People are buying for future profits.

So Aaron Gordon lose against Derrick Jones Jr.
Said in an interview he will be aiming for a 3 point shootout next All-star.

Again being robbed from a dunk contest trophy.
I am sad for him. 4 times 50 pointer dunks should've finished the contest.
They should also look into the previous dunks. This way they will never make a dunk just to enter the next round.
Every dunks should be unique and did at their best.

Do not expect too much.
That is my motto when joining bounties.
I have seen a lot of people that had been mad in this community and I don't think that should be done.
First of all, you should do your own research.
If not, then the failure of getting paid is getting higher. Pick the right one.
With that, you are getting a higher percentage that you will profit from all your efforts of whatever bounty you joined in.
Better, you will receive a good number. Like thousands of dollars.

Bitcoin price is struggling to gain momentum above $10,400 and $10,450 against the US Dollar.

How come we can call it a resistance already with just days that had passed by?
No, it ain't that long yet.
Maybe for a month or a couple, then we could call it that way.
It just hit the 5 digit mark and there is no telling where it will go.
I am still betting at 14k before May. That is the rightful price for me, then we could call it a resistance afterwards.  Grin
4337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: February 15, 2020, 03:31:33 AM

so basically this is line TEAM LUKA vs TEAM TRAE. which team do you like here?

source : https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2875862-nba-rising-stars-challenge-2020-rosters-snubs-predictions-for-usa-vs-world

I am with Luka in this.  Grin

I really though RJ Barrett was born in USA. So he is from Canada.  Cheesy
First time I dig for that kid about his background but I do followed him in college.
He is one of the great guys in Duke but it is just that Zion was also in the same team.
But I still have the high hopes for him. Somewhere in maybe 2 to 3 years he will bloom and his name will be popular to everyone.

Then there is Brandon Clarke which is also Canadian.



RJ Barrett was the Canadian highschool player of the year when he came out of high school and into duke.  He was mocked as the #1 pick by everyone prior to the college season.  Zion was supposed to be good but no one thought he was going to be that good.  That all changed in the preseason Hawaii tourney where he wrecked everyone.  That's when the legend of zion started.  If RJ went to any other college he would be just as well known he was just always second fiddle news to zion though

Yeah, I never knew that. It was just the Duke time where I saw that kid. He was really amazing.
Who knows? Maybe someday he will get that number 1 spot in NBA. That will be more awesome than being the number 1 draft pick.

He does have the figure of being a star. Tall, average body which makes him not much prone to injuries unlike Zion's built.
The kid just needs some upgrades with his shooting skills and also with ball handling.
Well, practice could make him better. It will be a different training now with NBA.

Who do you got Team USA or Team World?

I placed a small bet on Team USA to win, took the moneyline but really should have gone with the spread instead, roster is just too stacked imo.
I have Trae or Ja winning the MVP even though Zion if favored by the bookies.


Congratulations. You won!!!

That was a hell of a fun game. Lot of laughter at the first half and specially that Luka Doncic buzzer beater at the half court.
Trae using his signature ball handling skills and then Ja Morant and Zion's dunks. It was awesome.

It could have been a big roar from the audience if Ja had caught that ball when he tries to block RJ. Damn high flying Ja.
4338  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Recommend me good altcoins! on: February 14, 2020, 02:57:05 PM
Ethereum. Obviously, you are seeing it now.
Also, there is an event that will come. Whatever date it will be it will be better to ready your Ethereum while it is still cheaper.

Then there is Litecoin, you could also see how much it increase for just a month.
I don't really know what is pulling it up but it is good to have it. Besides, it is almost the same as Ethereum which has a good all time high.

I rest my case.

After a massive performance this year BTC crossed 10k mark and went down to 9.5k, right now it's 10297$ guys it seems like BTC is going to bang again.

Guys Just hold your BTC and wait till is year end I personally feel like it will skyrocket again as most of the analyst predict this year will be a brightest year for Bitcoin, hopefully happy days will be back again.
Back to 5 digits again.
Yey! Just like watching a movie. Now, prepare your popcorn because the panic guys will be coming back.
Once the news arrive to them I am sure they are on their way to open their wallet and sell it.

Back to another fall!! Yey! More for me to buy at a cheaper price!  Grin
This will just keep on going on. It is not a manipulation but more of who doesn't really trust the technology bitcoin could give.
Just profits.
