Lakers has a good lead, and just like you, I thought that they can pull the win against the Dallas. But Dallas played good defense and then pour in the points. Davis has an extended minutes but it was obvious that he still need some game or at least they need to win with Davis playing high level tennis again.
Luka Magic seems to never lose his composure.
He was at bad state at the first half but he never gave up. At the end, he was the one making all the plays (assists to Powell) to give the Mavs a huge lead and secure the win.
They are meant to be in the playoff this year with their current skills in the court as a team. only a few teams in the history of the NBA can get 9 straight wins before a few games to get to the NBA playoffs. it means that these guys are in their prime mode. It will be nice for them if they will play together with Brooklyn Nets in the NBA playoffs.
I underestimated this Knicks team when they didn't even try to get KD or Kyrie for their team. But now they are proving that they made a good decision.
They even said before the season starts that they are rebuilding and I can still remember Stephen A. Smith (Knicks fan) stating they won't even touch the playoffs.
Look at them now. Their chemistry is so high and winning every game isn't that difficult anymore.
Let's see if they can also beat the Phoenix Suns.

Whatever Stephen a Smith says typically goes wrong.  He just screams at the TV trying to make it sound like he knows what the he'll he is even talking about.  How he is on TV as a sports analyzer is beyond me.

Look prices here are always different than ali, ebay, etc.  There is a reason for that.  Properly do e here with escrow and all, you will confidently get your shipment.  If you can get them for under a hundo there than why don't you just go there.  And fwiw such moon is right no one here will sell you one for that price...right now at least.

They are hosted in China, MOQ 5.

Price, escrow, pics?

Yep echo this statement.  Without these 3 (especially the escrow piece)  you won't get any sales here.  Shipping also would be another piece of info you might want to put in here as well

Yesterday I saw someone mention #Dogira at Bitcointalk, then I went and bought it and quickly made twice as much money!



Thanks to this platform, it's full of get-rich-quick opportunities!!! Grin

Lol yeah I a bull market thats easy to say.  Come here in 2014 or 2018 and you would think differently lol.  Sad but a lot of people are going to lose a ton of money soon on these alts.  They mostly all inevitably drop and most into non existence. Most people turn a blind eye because they want it to go on forever but those people are the ones left holding the bag
4505  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will never go below $50,000 again on: April 25, 2021, 12:58:25 AM
Today is April 14th 2021, Bitcoin is trading at $62k - $64k today. It just spent basically two months building support around $50,000 in a very non-bull-run like fashion. This is because this bull run isn't gonna be a relatively short FOMO-driven huge peak and giant crash + crypto winter. We're at the beginning of a years-long super cycle that is gonna shoot Bitcoin from $10k up to well into the the hundreds of thousands over the next few years, with no crypto winters during that growth. Retail is calmer less FOMOy, institutions are coming in and by definition are more wary and less FOMOy, and with Covid + money printing the narrative around Bitcoin has finally evolved from speculative get rich scheme to store of value gold 2.0.

For these reasons, Bitcoin will never go below $50k again, even if we get a decent crash at some point like most people expect based on past market cycles (and yes I've been in crypto during the two big crypto winters), the bottom still won't go under $50k. Do you agree? Hit the poll!

Lol this post only a week or so in didn't age well.  Listen if anything has been learned in the last 10-11 years is that people can never so it won't do this or that because most likely its broken each one of those predictions.  Large spikes and large falls thats how bitcoin rolls at least for now.
4506  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin price end of year? on: April 25, 2021, 12:56:14 AM
i believe even if bitcoin drops a bit in a month, bitcoin will still hit 100k by end of year! let me know what you guys think

Homestly no clue.  With the recent dip i think there is much more downward pressure if it creeps in the 60-70k range.  There will be a lot of profit taking all the way up to 100k.  Going to be difficult for some to hold on for the ride.  Can it, sure.  Do I think this year is 100k year...not yet do t think so but hey how who knows.
4507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 25, 2021, 12:53:56 AM
What a great win by the Knicks today.  They actually look dominate and just might make some waves in the playoffs.  Julius Randall is a superstar and one definitely established himself as one of the top players in the league.  Today at home they were 1 point u derdogs.  Easiet pick of the day.

4508  Economy / Economics / Re: First UK Bank Bans Businesses Accepting Bitcoin on: April 22, 2021, 09:17:52 PM
Came across this potentially damaging development for Bitcoin today:

https://capital.com/natwest-bans-business-cryptocurrency-transactions

NatWest, a relatively well known UK bank (out of roughly 20) has decided to ban any businesses from using its accounts for any Bitcoin related transactions. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come, if I remember correctly this bank has been caught up in a money laundering scandal in the recent past and maybe it is getting jittery - even if the general trend is towards opening up cryptocurrency related services. Banks can also be "on the hook" if companies using their facilities have not performed proper checks on their customers transactions and you could say there is a lot of hard to trace funds floating around. Do you think other banks will follow suit? If they do, will we see the Bitcoin price sink in future or can institutional money overcome these obstacles?

This has been done through the years a bank in the US banning businesses using bitcoin will only make businesses using them move to a new bank.  Unless its country wide sweep they are only damaging themselves.  Member when Jamie Dimon kept saying how bitcoin was crud...I member that.  How did that age?  Point is no need to worry bitcoin is too big for one bank to alter its course.

Do you think that the Celtics, who is a underdog can pull a upset here? They are still in the 6th place just behind Atlanta Hawks. Or the powerful West team can win with a (-5.5) handicap?

No Jayson Tatum, No Kemba Walker, No Jaylen Brown, Celtics will be too easy to handle for the Phoenix Suns.

On their first meeting, Sunx able to hold Celtics with a 10 point lead with Tatum and Kemba on board.

Don't risk for Moneyline with them.

Completely agree.  Phoenix maybe on a second leg of a back to back but with the Celtics without those 3 I don't think they will even be able to crack 100 against the suns here.  Suns are not a dark horse but they are my dark horse to win the entire chip this year.  Like picking a Longshot (besides the Knicks:)) to run with.

You like an underrated team,..same here, nobody is talking about them beacuse all eyes are looking at the Nets and the Lakers, but look how good the Suns are, they could get into the top 1 before the regular season ends. Lots of improvement on the competition this year, it's hard to predict who will win the NBA finals or who will advance.

I've suffered since 1999 watching them year in year out.  Gut themselves with eddy curry type trades.  Rely on the likes of vets at the end of their career to be starters, and Isiah completely gutting the team.  Marbury and Stevie Francis in one backcourt oh that was special lol.  And then watching LeBron tell the world he was taking his talents to South Beach:(.  Getting the 9th draft pick in the draft when steph was taken 8th.  Completely sucking in 1st position in the zion draft and get rj instead (although I love rj, just like zion much more).  It's been a rough ride for sure.  But you ain't a fan unless you've been through the hard times.

The New York Knicks is getting straight wins which take them into 4th spot in the Eastern Conference by beating the Atlanta Hawks today in the overtime. Looks like the few games left will be hard for those who are in the tight spot because every team right now is playing as we've never seen before.
Correct.
Even with teams at high seeds will need to take care of every games they will play.
Every win is a must to avoid the play-in tournament. Knicks might be in 4th rank but the 7th rank is just 2 wins away from them.
Julius Randle is the key player to this Knicks team which is why they are on the safe spot.
He had been scoring like crazy and stepped up his game. Then there is Rose for support and Quickley taking up a notch for every game he plays.
Knicks has a bright future for this young players.
he is a bigger version of Steph Curry, this guy has suddenly become a great 3 point shooting. On the win against the Hawks, he was shooting 6-8 from beyond the arc, if he can be consistent with that, I guess Knicks will be a big surprise in the playoffs.
They've already pull a surprised already by having a winning streak that put them in the 4th spot in a highly contested Eastern conference. And the top 3 of Eastern conference is on a losing skid, that gives the Knicks the edge somewhat.

Knicks vs Raptors on Sunday, this is going to be good, I do hope that Toronto will play their stars against the Knicks and no load management for Paskal Siakam.
This is a big surprise for a team with only good players, no stars, the coaching staff is doing a great job, and the players really have good chemistry, other people said that players who have better teamwork will eventually have an advantage even with facing a talented team, but they still need superstars to compete with the nets, but ill be surprised if they takedown the mighty nets this season.

I know a lot of people don't consider Randle a star but the dude beasts everyone night in a nd night out on the court.  He rarely is the worse of his match up of the court.  He can hit from anywhere on the court.  Rebounds at a high rate and perennially leads the team in assists.  Never takes a play or night off.  He might be the best player the Knicks have since Ewing left the team.  And don't give me Carmelo, yes Carmelo is good but definitely one dimensional.
4513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 22, 2021, 12:40:02 PM
The NBA is at fault here, they should not created this "load management" because it's hard to control it to be honest. A team will certainly find ways to preserve their players to avoid injury, especially when they are already guaranteed with the playoff spot, I think they should review this as there's a lot of criticism about this, they are making NBA soft, missed the old days, sorry.
I agree to that, it's not the players that are soft in this modern era, infact players are most explosive, can shoot deep threes, and even have the 250+ pounds body that can move swiftly, agile and fast. But it's the NBA itself for changing so much in-game decisions from regular fouls down to technical fouls.
I remember Timmy got teched while sitting at the sideline for laughing at a referee's decision.
Back in the 90's you can't get tech taunting and shouting at your opponent after a poster.
You can't really compare era's though, maybe what the NBA has done is to really help the players with all this load management, but it seems it has back fired on them. Players and fans are criticizing it.

Now the control is more on the officiating, teams can challenge a call, etc. There's a lot of changes now and the NBA has really evolved, but there are pros and cons about it.

You can compare eras.  I'm a huge bb fan but its soft now vs the 90s.  I mean hand checking is a foul now.  Hand checking was just part of defense.  MJ would average 50 points a game in today's era.  Its like football and what they've done.  Imagine Jerry Rice and what he could do in today's "can't touch after 5 yards".  Load management is just another way of saying players are getting soft.

Did anyone else miss out on the Dogecoin run?
This is up 100x over a year or two, and it is still going higher.


Over a year or two ??

Bro, Doge price was /100 on 1st of January 2021  Roll Eyes

I'm really getting bored with this hype. What a pity newcomers are rushing on such projects (doge is followed by many copycats).

Imo we need a crack to clean the cryptospace Tongue

It will undoubtedly happen it always does.  In every bull run complete crap rises for no reason and then when the dust settles there is a new group of bagholders and a group of people who think crypto is a scam because they bought into this crap without looking in the first place, natural selection.
4515  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOLDING VS TAKING PROFITS DURING BULL RUN on: April 21, 2021, 08:08:09 PM
It's always advised to take profit at intervals during bull because you never know when dip will come and how far it will go. Contrary, there is a perspective of holding for long to get a maximum profit( as said by CZ : "you can't be rich if you can't hold"). From the little survey i did, holders usually earn more profits that people who take little profits. However this depends on your kind of person and what works for you, holders are patient people who don't care whatever happens along the way. Profit takers see opportunities and take profits and move to next one. It's a very deep topic to be honest, and I will like to have your opinions on this. Please share your views

Holders have always won.  Also major tax implications.  Depending where you live it could mean paying tax of short term gains up to 40% vs long term at 15% or around there.  That right there might make more sense just to hold in itself.  Where one lives and its national tax outlook (i think Germany has no taxes if you hold over a year) makes decision making also change.  But yeah I long long run traders get burned holders get rewarded...generally.
4516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crazy Dogecoin run 100x in 2 years on: April 21, 2021, 08:05:36 PM
Doge is a real example of a coin that can be controlled by a billionaire.
so strong was the power and fame of the elon that the doge, which was originally an ordinary coin, flew uncontrollably as it is today.
just take a twitter tease elon musk can turn an ordinary coin into an extraordinary one.
for doge holders this is certainly a great achievement but for people who do not invest in doge like me, today can only see the power of a billionaire who can change and control the market.

At the same time a coin that is propped up by memes and elon tweets in a bull is fine but when the market turns, these coins with no real substance are going to fall like a rock and hide back into thee d honey badger as the bag holders take massive lumps lime every other bull turned bear.  Watch out for that turn it will be epic.

Anthony Davis will be back in uniform for the Lakers against the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow. A long time coming. Will be great to see them get LeBron back soon for a nice Finals run. They’ve both been missed recently as the Lakers have dropped quite a few spots out west. I still like their odds overall, as the Nets haven’t gotten much time together playing as their new team (although with that much talent it might not matter).

Yep once those 2 are back and playoffs start back to business as usual for bron.  People are looking at the Lakers with this lineup and discarding them.  Probably the best time to lay playoff odds on the Lakers once they start winning with those 2 again odds are gonna drop like they always do at playoff time.

Unbelievable!!!

3 months ago, I thought $0.08 was the highest price of $Doge, and I chose to short it

As a result, now it is $0.4 and I lost my money Cry Cry Cry


In the past weeks, BTC and ETH were all dumping, only dog-related coins are rising, Dogecoin ($DOGE), SHIBA ($SHIB), Akita ($Akita) have all risen a hundred times, too crazy!!!

What will the price of $Doge be?

And which one will be next dog?

$DOGIRA have a chance?

Yeah shorting in this type of market never fares well sorry to hear.  But it was just dog related coins its pretty much the whole industry going up.  As far as the coin you brought up.  It could but more than likely it will end up just being another pump and dump coin like most of the rest of them.

No question about it, Curry has lead his team this season with his historic shooting and scoring. But I'm not sure if that is enough for a ring, probably they will be having a hard time winning on the first round of the playoffs. But what's important is that these young guys get the experience.
Sure, Curry is a phenomenal scorer, but he needs more support from teammates because GSW's participation in the playoff is still questionable. Even if the Warriors will end this season at the current position, then they need to win another two games to reach the playoff.
They are not expected to make it to the playoffs because they miss Thompson, however, the way they are playing, they are really competitive and I think the new rules that the top 10 is included in the playoff elimination really help them as they have a shot to be included in the playoffs.

Just trust Curry and his team, they may look so underrated now but we know that GSW has a championship experience and were champions for like 2 or 3 times, so they are still a tough team to beat.
Good to see golden state warriors fighting again for the playoffs. This makes me happy as they are one of my favorite teams. I wish that klay thompson can make a recovery before the playoffs but i dont think it is possible

There is zero chance he comes back for the playoffs.  Seasons done in a couple of weeks.  He will be lucky to be ready for the first game of next season.  I just hope klay can ay again let alone at the top flight that he has in the past.
4520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 21, 2021, 04:16:20 PM
Honestly unless you are at the very end of your career load management is a little dumb.  You play to win every year.  If golden state load manages Steph and gives him a game off a week or only let's him ay half a game those are almost assured losses.  Sorry but if I'm a coach and steph is healthy he is on the court.  
I personally think load management is bullsh*t (unless If necessary) and I think some teams are abusing it just to let their superstar rest and avoid injury. I mean everyone is susceptible to injury and it really feels like load management is somehow considered as cheating. Fans are paying tickets to see their favourite team and players.
I remember the Spurs was fined by the NBA for benching out Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili while the playoffs was closely approaching.

Curry doesn't need any of those. He's hungry to win and play from regular season to the playoffs.

The NBA is at fault here, they should not created this "load management" because it's hard to control it to be honest. A team will certainly find ways to preserve their players to avoid injury, especially when they are already guaranteed with the playoff spot, I think they should review this as there's a lot of criticism about this, they are making NBA soft, missed the old days, sorry.

There really isn't anything Adam silver could do.  Ypu can't mandate healthy players ay x number of games or x number of minutes per game.  If so who qualifies for this, it gets real messy.  Only thing you can do is shake your head, but good on curry for not wanting to "load manage" or kerr to sit down.  Players and coaches from the 80s and 90s would never deal with this.
