I'll be on the opposite side of the @Stadus bet, I don't see Washington Wizards covering the +10 spread if the Utah Jazz have come to play. I've also got my props on the same fixture; I like that prop bet. Think for sure gobert nabs 11 rebounds and wiz def score 206. The only way he doesn't is if he only gets like 20 minutes of playing time because the game is a blowout by the first half. But if its anywhere under 17 or so points he will still play. Good luck

60K or 50K?
Good question the world may never know until one gets hit. But with bitcoin flirting in the 57-59k area right now a quick pop can get it to 60k real easy. Real tough question is 40k or 70k first, that is the real question.

Early Pick.
Game : Jazz vs Wizards
Jazz as one of the best team in the NBA is playing against Beal and Westbrook's team which are already in 6 losing streak. I guess I'll go with the Wizards as they are the desperate team.
Therefore my pick is Wizards +10
Tough lick I actually like the jazz in this one. Unless wiz are lights out I can see gobert feasting in the paint both with scoring and defense, o rebounds. I like the jazz 130-116. With that i like the over in this game also as a hedge. If the wiz cover it won't be in a low scoring game it will be because they shot the lights out.. im going halvsies on each

Just read an article where an official says they expect the crypto ban to be passed, despite other officials recently downplaying the likelihood of it.
India is becoming quite an oppressive government from a monetary standpoint. Giant leap backwards for them if they pass the bill. Won't hurt Bitcoin too much - apparently there's only about $1.2 billion of bitcoin held in India (about a dollars worth for every citizen). If they do ban cryptos it just means that one day when they ultimately reverse that ban we're gonna get a huge pump from a billion-plus people suddenly having access to Bitcoin, by which time Bitcoin will likely be far more engrained throughout the rest of the world.
It's crazy to think about a government actually making it illegal, acting like you are some terrible criminal, simply for holding a digital asset. I guess other smaller nations have done this, but India would be the first major nation if it indeed passes. The idea of banning bitcoin is a great litmus test on how much economic freedom a nation has - and if you ban it you are a terribly monetarily oppressive nation.
Thoughts on the possible India crypto ban?
Sucks for people in India honestly but as far as the price of bitcoin unless there was a world ban on it (lol) the price won't be as affected as it used to be when China kept banning and unbending bitcoin. Its too widestretch now I think for one country to have a large effect.

~ And teaming up with other superstars doesn't mean he will have a bad reputation. It makes sense to do that now as he's close to entering his post-prime too. We all know Lillard already put a mark on the stone that he won't leave the Blazers but the wind can change the direction anytime. This is true. If he really wants a championship, he need to either request for the management to have some All Star Players on his team or he will be going to a championship caliber team AD said in the that he will stay in Pelicans back when he was there and he will try to get a championship but what happened years after?? He ate his word, joined with LBJ and there he got a championship. Base on my observation, just only one all-star isn't enough to win a championship for me. Just last year, Giannis also said that he will stay in Bucks even though he is a free agent. Without an all-star caliber player in his team, either he will request to have an all star on his side or he will leave if he really wants to have a championship. I don't see teaming up with other superstars a bad move since at this time, that is what we need right now in order to have a spot in a title right ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Its not as easy as asking for all star players. Blazers have a history of not being able to attract current top 10 talent via free agency. All of their good players for the last 10-15 years they have drafted.

Blazers looking good and Dame is bringing that team back to where it belongs once more, but I still think that it is very unlucky for them that they couldn't get a decent trade or an FA for the team, they tried their best I hope but dame+cj could go only so far, they needed more players to make it work.
I still think that if warriors managed to get that good even without durant on their early years, I believe that could have happened for blazers as well, just a few more decent role players and maybe a great defensive player and give the staff of warriors from head coach steve kerr to even janitor every single one of them, and I think blazers becomes great. Lakers looking great as well, they have been playing awesome for a while and they did it again, I really hope that they will continue down this path, AD missing more games than I expected and I hope he comes back healthy for playoffs.
I actually think dame is a top 5-10 player in the world. I honestly wouldn't want anyone else with the ball in their hand down 1, 2 or 3 points other than dame. Dudes range is infinite and is pure ice in game deciding situations. Not a blazer fan but definately enjoy watching them play.

I am wondering why are NFT tokens so hot right now? The gains in the last week are pretty significant. I cant imagine everyone running to play some NFT supported video game or really wanting to spend alot of money on buying digital art etc.
So is this insane rally based on Hype and FOMO?
Do you predict the price rally will cool off and retrace soon?
Definately fomo, yes I expect prices to cool off. Its not something that will go away anytime soon but equate it to altcoins. Tons put there mostly all turds. Got to weed through them to get to anything good.

Recently i have done tx on uniswap. The total fees cost goes 50-80USD. noramlly compare to binance smart chain its huge.
anyway there is "Approve" and "swap" . each there are charging. why there are two things , means approve and swap,
there need to eth 2.0 or BSC needy to replacement this insane network fees... I really fedup
Simple solution dont use it. Its absurd the fees are that high i agree. Uniswap is swamp of coins anyway. You can do just as well on other platforms and not be extorted to pay.

Bitcoin price is on an unbelievably ridiculous upswing, some of which are witnessing increases of more than 100% and rewards up to 30%.
Indulging in comments that talk about the price will reach one million dollars, the opportunity will be lost, the price will rise to infinity, which may give you instant happiness, it is not the way to manage your investment.
Some things to keep in mind:
Avoid buying when the price continues to rise, crash will happen sooner or late. Reduce your risk by diversifying your investment: It may not be investment advice but put a significant limit on your risk. Nothing rises to infinity. Avoid panic and emotions trading
If Bitcoin reaches the moon, we will not consider its USD value.
That is true but nothing wrong with cost averaging in. Instead of going all in with one lump if you cost average over time if it does drop you aren't getting in on the peak. But it also allows you to gain if it does get up into 6 figure usd. And yes always always diversify. No point being all in on one asset or even one asset class.

They need to start winning some other games that they are underdogs in...like tonight's game. Yeah they shouldn't win but that doesn't stop 7-8 point underdogs lose everytime. Looking for at least a dog fight in this game and not a blowout like the Bucks game.
We had a preview of what might playoff games if the Nets and Knicks will face somewhere in the NBA playoffs but the combined skill of Kyrie Irving and James Harden is hard to beat especially when they are still at the peak of their career. they just got a sneak win today and James Harden got a Tripple-Double. This will be the scene in the playoffs if they still manage to preserve the kind of play they're doing today. The Brooklyn Nets beat the New York Knicks 117-112. Ueah it could be. I expect the nets to take the top spot and with the knicks unable to sneak in some wins against the top teams, I think 7-8 is their ceiling. Hope the dont bottom out in the second half of the season like they normally do. 😒 There's a big competition among the top 3 teams in the East, I have never seen this kind of close competition. 1- Philadelphia 76ers 28-12 2- Brooklyn Nets 27-13 3-Milwaukee Bucks 25-14 Miami Heat also started to win games and in the number 4, but the most surprising of them all is the Hornets, they are now in the top 5. Yeah quite surprised at the Hornets this year. Good for them they love been in a hole for awhile and looks like they landed a good one with lamelo. I expect the bets to dominate once durant gets back, they will be beating most teams by double digits most nights. I just can't see them getting beat in a 7 game series. Beating them 4 times will be as tough as it gets.

Somebody doesn't want people using their stimulus money to buy bitcoin... I think whales are doing this on purpose...
Or the billionaires. They want cheaper Bitcoin that where it’s currently priced, but no one is selling their coins anymore. But if HODLers sell, it’s good to see that some regular people from the communty front-run those billionaires. Haha. Yeah and with as much publicity that crypto has been getting, I'm hoping a lot of the money comes into crypto. It will likely be a good amount coming in so waiting to see if butcoin, eth etc pull up a bit in the coming days.
Surprising to see BTC going down despite this good news. Bitcoin was trading at $61,000 a couple of days back and now the rate has declined to $55,000. Ideally it should be going up, considering the fact that a lot of those who are going to receive the stimulus cheques will use them to purchase assets such as Bitcoin, gold and equity. IMO, the current dip looks like a short-term phenomenon before the next bull run. We can expect a spike in exchange rates during the next few days, boosted by the stimulus payments. I don’t believe normal people are going direct Bitcoin, but with M2 Money Supply in its highest in history, inflation will naturally value scarce assets like Bitcoin higher. I actually think "normal" people will. For people who don't actually need the money to keep them afloat this is "free" money so why not try your hand in crypto. If you lose it no big deal. Maybe not but its a lot of fresh usd that wasn't available last week.

BTC is at around 55k right now but by the end of the day we will see a 20% drop. It will settle around $45k today.
The hype for the week is over.
What is this based on. A 20% drop when no indication of a massive drop incoming is a bold statement. Can it sure but why today. These threads pop up all the time and I mean one of them will be right just by mere statistics but it doesn't mean anything. Why keep posting these threads?

Randle and the New York Knicks continue their domination in the NBA game so far and if they can this kind of game up, they will gonna be torn for whoever they will face in the NBA playoffs. That if they continue to get such win like this in their upcoming games and they really need to stay on their current spot or they might want to continue winning to secure a spot on top 4-6 because behind them are the teams who are expected to go to the NBA Playoffs. = ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FnwK760V%2FScreenshot-3.png&t=664&c=KTQ6XSNY1x39Gg) They need to start winning some other games that they are underdogs in...like tonight's game. Yeah they shouldn't win but that doesn't stop 7-8 point underdogs lose everytime. Looking for at least a dog fight in this game and not a blowout like the Bucks game.

Hi guys,
a question which i had discussed with some of my friends before:
If you were invested heavy in alts but rather light in btc lets say 30% BTC / 70% alts you made a good profit in dollar. BUT i have the feeling i wasted so much BTC to buy Alts and right now BTC has surpassed many of them by far.
Do you think it would be wise to sell some Alts for BTC right now? Or is BTC dominance to high?
Really interested in your thoughts!
Kind regards.
70% alts to 30% bitcoin is always waaaay to high. I'd immediately sell and get on the right side of bitcoin in your portfolio. It has always been better to be heavy bitcoin and light altcoins through history. You are begging to miss out on opportunity with that weight.

The dogecoin has already pumped up twice with the help of popular persons like Elon Musk, now that many people are trying to invest in Dogecoin, expecting to have another madness on doge. So what if, Elon Musk and other popular experts stopped supporting this meme coin, is there are a possibility that Dogecoin reaches 1$ on its own?
Well, like what I've said, this is just a meme coin, no utility, no usage but what do you think will be the realistic value of Dogecoin for the upcoming years?
Honestly no. With the supy always moving higher at a rapid pace I think the only way it does is if bitclin ever gets to $500k ish, and even then that would be a feat, since it would have to outpace bitcoin in a fierce bitcoin bull.

is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering?
You have to think someone is. There are a lot of original wallets with bitcoin that hasn't moved. Is that on old hard drives or someone with iron hands...no one will know unless they move at some point. One would like to hope so but definatepy hard not to sell at these prices now lol.

Much needed win against the undermanned thunder. Without shai on the court they had to win this game. They won it pretty handedly Which is nice to see. They have to win all the games they should and win a portion of the games they shouldn't. Again just want to see them grow and get better. My boy immanual quickley had a great game again. He needs more minutes even when peyton comes back to full health.

Hi,
I was interested to know what you think Bitcoin will peak at this year and what you think the price will be at the end of each year up until 2025
Here's what I think could be a fair estimate:
2021 peak: $95,000
EOY 2021: $65,000 EOY 2022: $100,000 EOY 2023: $150,000 EOY 2024: $300,000 EOY 2025: $500,000
I think this year somewhere in the mid sixties is a good start. I dont know if the linear line goes straight to $500k. I think there will be so.e major resistance along the way with tons of profit taking. For it to be $500k in less than 4 years some major accumulation must occur...I mean major. But who knows. I hope so. Well dang here bitcoin goes again almost hitting $61k usd as we speak. Thats why its so tough to peg how much it will go up (or down) at any given time. Guess we can just sit back and watch the badger do its thing this year. Still stand on mid sixties but that would take a long sideways couple months ahead and seems to be too much upward pressure for that to happen for too long.
