For years I always thought altcoins would be perfect for gaming.  Niche market for niche coins.  None have really ever panned out.  Which is the most successful to date enjoying coin?  I rber when gamecredits was aiming at taking on the market but they fizzled out.  What are some good gaming coins right now?

What do you think @DireWolfM14, since these are your boys

I'm scared.  Not because I think the Lions are that good, but when the Niners suck they really, really suck.  Plus, I'm trying to not jinx anything by being overly confident.  Not to mention, Shanahan-coached teams have a history of chocking in big games.

Having said that, I tend to agree with your logic.  Assuming Deebo is ready, the line will go up.  And if the Niners show up the way they are expected to, I don't see the Lions causing us much trouble.

I think the worst thing for the niners is amon ra is playing with a chip on his shoulder ever since not making the pro bowl.  They have a weird underdog fight to them with a defense that could give 9ers trouble.  I got the niners still winning but Detroit covering.  I don't think it will be a runaway for them.  Amd then on the other side I got the fellas in red until someone can knock them down.

I am seeing lately a lot of emotional posts on socmed about D'Los transfer. Well, it's painful to see a good player like him to be that much emotional but this is just temporary emotion and he'll get to move on with that soon.
What's important to him is he's at good shape and prove the LAs management that they've traded the wrong guy that have passion for the sport and the team that he's playing with.

It's just sad to see someone who really loves playing for the franchise but is about to become the primary piece for a trade. DLo was playing spectacular from the last couple of games. I guess, he's trying to boost his trade value to get traded for a good piece and land to a better team, a playoff contender team. It maybe just a speculations but it does really looks like Rui and DLo's demeanor after the game is really off and that something is about to happen to them. I honestly hate how the Lakers have been changing their roster to try to make it better ever year. If these guys get traded, I only hope DLo and Rui to drain 3s and defeat the Lakers with their possible new team lol.

Embiid is really out there trying to prove to people that it wasn't just dumb luck that he won the MVP but he is really the MVP of the league as well. Last year, when he won, a lot of people said that Jokic deserved the MVP but because he already won it twice, it didn't felt like it would make sense to give him a third one in a row, so that is why Embiid won and not because he deserved it.

He's actually good and that 70 pt game he just made was impressive, but still we can't deny the fact that Jokic deserves more to be an MVP. Well, that was a close race though, so it's really hard to tell who deserves who last year. But then again, Jokic is more impactful to the team and the Nuggets have been a successful team last year than the Sixers.

I agreed jokic is more impact full in terms of all around and making his team better but honestly he has a better team than embid does.  Maxey is an OK player same with Tobias Harris but embid is jus5 foot stomping people.  In terms of dominating I've been watching the games and he is playing just unstoppable right now.  If he can be more consistent with teams over .500 he is right there with mvp talks again.

All in a bid to ensure I have a concrete investment plan this year, I researched some of the altcoins that has the potential to yield the best return over a duration of 5years. BTC and Eth top my list as one of the more secure coins, but other altcoins have proven to be reliable overtime, if you agree. Despite market volatility and the possibility of a crash, which is your most valid choice right now.

*If I have $40,000 to invest in one #cryptocurrency that will make me a billionaire, Which one do you think would be a better choice, besides BTC and Eth of which I have grown accustomed to?

- $BTC *
- $ETH *
- $ADA
- $VET
- $SOL
- $MATIC
- $SHIB
- $NEAR
- $DOGE
- $DOT
- $LINK

These are some of the best I have seen so far.

*What advice would you give me?


Honestly I know you said besides bitcoin but that's probably your best bet.  All the other choices you are risking a lot.  If one of these coins makes ypu a millionaire by chance then there is a good chance that bitcoin is going to at least be in the $500k range.  Is it worth the risk in missing out on bitcoins run to try to find something that will.outpace it?

Wow what a brutal game for a bills fan.  Stefan Diggs missed an absolute dime in the fourth which would have changed the game.  And what more can be said about wide right.  For fans that were old enough to have watched the Norwood wide right in the superbowl this must have brought up some bad .memories.  playoff mahomes rolling along.

^^ I'll tail you on this game.

I think the Sixers is more capable to cover that spread against the struggling Spurs.

Dallas vs Boston, - would love to see Dallas and Luka pull another magic here, so Dallas ML for me. Luka against the best team in the league with Tatum and Brown. Kyrie too, I'm expecting him to score big in this game.

I'm taking the sixers tonight and as a hedge I'm taking the over on embid 35.5 points.  If this game is close and the sixers don't cover embid will get a lot of playing time and he will absolutely dominate the inside with wemby in there.  Might take a stab at the over on rebounds too.  Embid has been dominant and I'm riding his overs until he cools down.

Lakers’ LeBron James and Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo finish as leaders in the NBA’s final 2023-24 All-Star fan returns; voting ends Saturday

I am glad to see Alperen Sengun's name right there on the number 6 of the Western Conference frontcourt All-Star votes.

Trades are silent. The deadline is in 15-16 more days. Mostly rumors are what's happening right now.

Poor D'Lo, his name keeps popping up for a trade between the Lakers and the Hawks,

And as per report, the trade might look like this,

Lakers get:
- Dejounte Murray

Hawks get:
- D’Angelo Russell
- Jalen Hood-Schifino
- 2029 1st round pick
- Additional Draft Comp

It's not yet final and official, but it looks like after playing good in the last couple of games for the Lakers, D'Lo is on the move again.
Well, I thought they were looking for more guards but they are trading away a shooter and a guard which they need the most. I hope they will change the offer. The Lakers need DLo, there must be something else they can offer because this is like a loss to the Lakers because they are adding a 1st round pick. I might agree if this trade is only 1:1 but they are taking away the chemistry and more. It's a rumor for now and I hope it will not materialize. DLo has been on the move a lot, I think LA is where he belongs and he has been playing great in his last 3 games.
They are not losing because of him, they should check their whole roster first. Rui Hachimura for example has not been an effective shooter anymore and it's not like he is strong in the rebounding sector.

You can't get someone like dejante Murray without giving up some decent pieces otherwise why would Atlanta want to move him.  A 2029 first round pick doesn't move the needle for a guy like Murray today.  If I'm Atlanta I wouldn't even do that deal they could probably get a better package elsewhere.
468  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Islamic Coin- the Shariah-Compliant Digital Money for the HAQQ Ecosystem ! on: January 21, 2024, 11:34:37 PM
I am thrilled to introduce Islamic Coin (ISLM), the native currency of the HAQQ Network,bringing a new era of possibilities for the global Muslim community and blockchain enthusiasts alike ! 🔥

No matter how I feel about religion, but all known attempts to cross religion and cryptocurrencies have always ended in scam. These things are not compatible and such statements in the description of coins are just trying to parasitize on people's faith and on various religious confessions. Someone just invented another clone of a famous coin and decided to wrap it in a religious wrapper for their own enrichment.

P.S. My post in no way offends Islam. It is only about cryptocurrency.

Agreed.  I don't know how religion and crypto coexist.  It's not like there is a religious financial instrument in the fiat world.  I fear that people use this to pull on people's heartstrings to extract money out of them.  What pro would there be to include the religion's name in the coin name other than to direct your marketing towards that group.  Hopefully it's not ill willed and this project doesn't scam people out of their money.

You are on the right track in that ypu are thinking of how to supplement your bitcoin holdings with a little altcoin holding.  If I were you I'd take a look at polygon/matic.  Great protocol that it's developers have done a lot of things to push that project further during the bear run. Whatever ypu do don't follow the latest amd greatest fads like memcoins.  Ypu will just end up losing your stack.

Looking forward to tonight's knicks game.  Homecoming for rj barrett and immanel quickley.  It's a pretty unassuming game but I bet this one is a highly competitive one.  Expecting to see julius randle bully rj around.  Knicks are quietly having a good year and ever since they traded them away and got OG they are the best defensive team in the league over those 10 games.  They still need one more piece, Clarkson would be a great add for the bench.

Definitely it will be a great game as IQ and RJ Barrett are going back to Madison Square Garden. And with that, it will be very competitive that I think the Raptors might win this game. I know that they are a huge underdog here and that's why I love them in this game. So laying some money on them at ML.

I haven't heard about Clarkson though being on the trading block.

But we will see, we still have time before the trading deadline and for sure there will be a lot of high profile names being moved around, like Lavine and Dejonte Murray, whose name are being link to a trade to the Lakers.

Was a great environment last night.  Knicks fans in the stadium gave a proper IQ and RJ welcome.  Then the Knicks went ahead and dismantled them during the game.  Since the trade the Knicks defense has been tops in the league and I'm liking this more and more.  OG Anunoby reminds me of the 80s/90s Knicks.  Love this team going forward.  Still think they will make one more move to bolster the bench.

Watching the pre-game show and everybody is confident on those Detroit Lions to win, which worries me.
Once everybody is on a team they seem to lose.

This is the play-offs after all and what rohang said in his earlier post rings true most definitely here.

I still am going with the home teams today for both matches.
Bills are solid at home but Chiefs are killers in the post-season when their backs are to the wall.

Markets if you want to put in a bet at the last second for the Lions and the Bills later on after this one:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/usa/nfl/matches

I get the same feeling you do when everyone is on one side it's a trap bet.  Detroit looks good but the bucs have been staying with them.  And for me I'm on the other side I'm on the kc side tonight.  For whatever reason whenever the playoffs hit mahomes just does his thing.  They might not win but dude always is in the game, the moment never seems too big.  I got kc going to the SB again..

Cashing out too early is not such a terrible thing.  Yeah sometimes it sucks because ypu could win more but it's always OK to book some sort of profit.  For the most part the problem people face is that they keep letting it ride so they never end up winning anything.  It's always better to win a dollar than to lose a hundred dollars
473  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Xrp still worth to break its previous 3.4$ ATH? on: January 20, 2024, 08:11:16 PM
After winning the court case, xrp just like skyrocket, pump a lot and become come back to its old rank. Xrp is obviously a good coin otherwise it can't be a top altcoin anymore. But investors always like upgrading and advance technology. So if any coin can't maintain its efficiency then it might lost its investor and volume and value.
So what do you think? Xrp is still looks good , 60 cent per each. Is it possible to break previous record of 3.4$ this time and will become able to make a new victory?

It all depends on bitcoins price.  If bitcoin goes to $1million would xrp breaking its previous all time high be considered a success.  Since most altcoins are paired against bitcoin for trading then given the same supply and demand their fiat value inherently goes up.  I don't understand why people talk fiat value on altcoins and never mention the opportunity costs of not being in on bitcoin during that same time.
474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Kaspa actually Bitcoin 2.0? on: January 20, 2024, 08:08:54 PM
They have maximum total supply, like Bitcoin
PoW like Bitcoin
Halvings like Bitcoin.

10 blocks per second on Testnet vs. 1 block per 10 minutes on Bitcoin

You can scan QR code. In 0.1 second block is created. In 1 second 10 confirmations. And you don't even need these 10 blocks. Because if several blocks are created at the same time - they all are added. So if you get into a block. This block can't be cancelled by other blocks.

Testnet. 10bps
http://104.11.218.91:8080/

Mainnet. 1bps
https://explorer.kaspa.org/

Bitcoin. But a real-time method of payment. What do you think?

You just mentioned supply, halving, etc which can be said about any coin.  Why would this coin be any differe.t then the other useless coins that were created.  You literally can create a new coin that has all of those things in under an hour.  Copy paste bitcoin code and change some of the parameters.  Useless
475  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the largest meme coin ever? on: January 20, 2024, 08:07:05 PM
Dogecoin by a mile.  Not that I am supportive of any memecoin but if you were going to buy any I'd buy that one since it has the staying power of time.  Problem is it's endless stream of new minted coins 10k every minute.  Demand will never be able to continually outpace supply.  Amd the rest are just trash scams.

Tho of freaking course Love looks to be a rising star. My god, GB has some sort of QB drafting cheat code.

It's not a cheat code they draft and have them sit behind the veteran for a year or 2 or 3 to learn the system before throwing them to the dogs.

You're not wrong at all.  That's how it used to be where rookies would come in, sit for 2-3 years and learn the nfl.  Now it's just fire them out there and cross your fingers it works out.  Most of these kids are shell-shocked out of the league before they shoukd have even been starting.

With that being said it's fooooootball time!! Love this time of year.  Enjoy the games fellas

That's a hard no.  If a business is in business for 2 years does that mean they are legitimate?  Not the same but you get the point.  Some people play the long game, especially since we've been in a bear market for awhile.  They might strike when prices are high and we are in a complete bull.  In crypto ypu never say never amd always keep your guard up.  Don't trust any project...except bitcoin.

It appears everyone in this thread was correct. It was announced that Mike McCarthy will be the head coach for next season.



Owner Jerry Jones explained his decision in a statement:
"I believe this team is very close and capable of achieving our ultimate goals and the best step forward for us will be with Mike McCarthy as our head coach. There is great benefit to continuing the team's progress under Mike's leadership as our head coach.


Source https://www.nfl.com/news/mike-mccarthy-to-return-as-head-coach-of-cowboys-in-2024



On the divisional games, I worry for the Ravens, the Lions and the Bills. The Texans defense are not to be underestimated and we have already witnessed the difference between Lamar on the regular season and Lamar of the post season.

On the Lions, I am not very optimistic on them after the wildcard game vs. the Rams.

On the Bills. Patrick Mahomes and Taylor Swift.
Jerry Jones is delusional. They paid Dak and lost all their receiver talent when they did. They now have Cee Dee Lamb who is good, but cannot do it all. Yes they have other receivers, but none that are awesome. Pollard is declining, guy looked great when competing for playing time with Zeke, but has dropped off since getting the starting job. The defense is solid, but didn't show up in the playoffs.

I'm not sure if the problem is 100% McCarthy, but the guy isn't doing a great job when it matters. Look at all the teams the Cowboys beat and look who beat them. They played terrible vs teams with a winning record. I would have probably let McCarthy go and got me an offensive coach.

Their defense falls completely flat when they need to show up too.  For a giants fan this is amazing.  Watching McCarhy coach with fear amd desperation is going to be fun to watch.  Ceedee to me is a top 3 wide out in all of football right now.  I'd take him over everyone not named JJettas and Tyreke hill.  Honestly until Jerry homes gives up the day to day ops they aren't going amywhere.

I can't see Atlanta pulling the trigger on this trade.  Dlo is OK but trading your starting point guard for Lakers bench players and a draft pick 6 years from now does little in terms of making them competitively better.  I can see a contender adding a young pice and a pick closer to now or 2 picks even.  Murray is a great addition for a contending team.
