Hilarious retorts to Craig Wright from Snowden on twitter today. Worth looking into if you haven’t seen it yet. I also saw something else that made me laugh. Someone posted a twist on the saying, “We are all satoshi, except Craig Wright.” Instead in replay to someone who claimed to be Craig Wright they said, “We are all Craig Wright, except satoshi.”   |

Goodness gracious, Denver Nuggets are so kind that they've given the first-ever win for the Lakers. Kidding Aside.
I thought that the Nuggets would be able to catch up with the lead of the Lakers but that's it, it seems an achievement and many are happy with this win for the Lakers.
We are wishing them that this should be the motivation on them to get their next wins.
It is nice to see the Lakers get a W finally. They were led by Russell Westbrook having a good shooting night off the bench as the Lakers second unit destroyed the Nuggets’ all night. A nice picture of what the Lakers are capable of. I was also surprised to see the Warriors lose to the Pistons and go below .500 on the season now. Klay Thompson needs to get healthy both physically and mentally so he can return to the court. |

I made a thread some time ago with what I felt were 10 of the most classic Bitcointalk posts. I'll link to it below. It's not a bad place to start if you're wanting to learn more about what has gone on here over the years, especially the highlights. Throughout the thread you'll find that other people have also listed some threads that they feel were important. Feel free to add to their suggestions if you think there's been a thread that hasn't been represented. Happy reading. Enjoy! TEN CLASSIC Bitcointalk posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2822621.0I made this post on a similar topic that is still on these boards. Bitcointalk has had a lot of great Bitcoin moments. In fact, most of the events that happened in Bitcoin before around 2014 all happened here. This site was once pretty much the entire Bitcoin economy. When the market cap was below $20 million dollars it seemed almost like this was the workplace for the Bitcoin company. We all cheered each others efforts and creations. So much support and positivity. It was an absolute paradise before the scammers and get rich quick folks found there way here. Worth reading some of the classic posts... |

No nationally televised games for me to watch today, sadly. However, there are a few games that might be worth betting on. The spreads are pretty high on some of these matchups, so I'd probably take them to win instead of beating the spread, but today does look like a good day for a parlay. The Warriors are playing the Pistons, and should win easily, although the 7.5 point spread is pretty high. The Rockets and Suns are the same, Suns will probably win but the 12.5 point spread has me thinking to bet them to win. The Magic and Mavericks are another game that should be easily won by the Mavericks, but the spread is 9.5 points... So I'd bet a nice parlay on the Suns, Warriors, & Mavericks, all to win (unfortunately I'm not betting today).

With change in algorithm and rising electricity bills can mining ethereum be profitable again in the future?
As others have said, no, it won't. You could switch to Ethereum Classic mining, or you could buy a chunk of ETH and stake it. With ETH going from PoW to PoS, the only way to make a profit is to trade it, or stake it. Both options will depend on how much money you have as the deciding factor for how much money you make. It's pretty similar to the traditional finance system, which should be of no surprise when you dig in to who was behind it's creation. Worse yet, now that it is PoS instead of PoW, blocks are being censored per regulators meaning that Ethereum is no longer an immutable blockchain. |

For what it's worth, I switched some of my GPUs over to mining ETC yesterday. It is finally cool enough where I live that I don't need to air condition my home to stay cool, I can just open a window. That, along with lower seasonal electricity rates are once again making some of my newer GPUs profitable when mining ETC. Pretty amazing that we're smack in the middle of the bear market and it's still possible to make money just by running your computer. While profitability is nowhere near what it was at the top, it's not too far off from when I was mining back in 2011. I think back then a new video card was making about $1/day (which was about 0.5 BTC) and now one is making about $0.50 profit (much less than 0.5 BTC). I think this shows that from here on out, the bear markets won't be as horrifying and the bull markets will probably not be so moon-worthy. For those looking to tip toe into crypto, now is a good time in my opinion. Especially if you have a newer GPU and live somewhere cold.

Not surprising to me at all. I am a bit surprised that Apple was ever willing to display gambling ads. When I was running a small little gambling site, Apple discontinued one of my unrelated apps from being listed in the app store within a period of about two weeks. I think the gambling site had maybe 20 bets at that point, but Apple had already identified that I was running it and had an app in their app store (most likely some troll reported me and probably stretched the truth a bit to say they were somehow connected). Anyway, I learned very quickly that Apple hates gambling and will overreact to complaints in order to appear to be regulating their users.

No surprise here, Jake Paul won like I said he will, but I expected fight won't go to distance with decision win. I think he is going to call out some new MMA fighter for his next fight, maybe Nate Diaz or someone else. Jake called out Dana White again and said he can suck his d*ck but it's best to listen his full post fight interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEJU7E8rJskHe called out Nate Diaz (calling him a bitch and plenty more) right after his fight. He also said Canelo could get it too... I think either would be good opponents, or Andrew Tate, but it seems like Logan Paul is the one going after Andrew Tate after his appearance on the Suga Show podcast. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up Logan Paul's appearance on Sean O'Malley's podcast that was posted yesterday. Logan goes after Andrew Tate hard. If Tate doesn't step up and accept a fight with Logan after this, similarly to if Nate Diaz doesn't accept a fight with Jake, their reputations are definitely going to take a hit. Although I understand they're all different types of fighters, except for Canelo and Jake... |

I have to say that my experience on Twitter has already gotten so much better since the Elon Musk takeover. I'm not seeing the bots posts after every tweet (they're still there apparently but hidden) and stupid comments by liberals that have been considered facts are now being fact checked. Biden, Clinton, Obama... It will be nice seeing corrections of facts on their ridiculous posts instead of having the truth questioned by the far left. It's like the beginning of a new world where you aren't discriminated against for saying that all lives matter or that there are 2 genders... You know, simple things that most people who "trust the science" learn before entering first grade... I love it!

Charlotte vs GSW turns out to be one hell of a game, it went into OT, Charlotte now leading by 3 points. I thought that the Charlotte will take the win the regular time, but GSW is so resilient.
Ya, another rough night for Klay Thompson as the Warriors lost to the Charlotte Hornets who didn’t have LaMelo Ball or Terry Rozier (their starting backcourt). I think the Warriors just had a bad three point shooting night. Live by the 3 die by the 3. I’m sure they’ll bounce back. As for the Hornets, I’ve heard rumors of them looking at a trade with Gordon Hayward and some others for Russell Westbrook and some picks. |

About what I expected. Jake Paul looked good and so did Silva. I’m the end though it was the 8th round knockdown that won the fight for him. If it wasn’t for that momentary lapse then I think people would be debating who won the fight. I don’t think Silva was hurt at all, which is great, but he did take a good shot and lost his balance tumbling backwards. Everyone with money on Paul is happy. He said he wanted Nate Diaz or Canelo next.

This is a good sign that we're nearing the bottom of the mining drought. When the largest players in the space go down, it usually is a boon to the rest of the marketplace. I don't think this will be any different. Core Scientific also isn't currently holding much in the way of BTC so it isn't like they're going to sell a lot of coins and tank the market. Instead, we'll probably see some good deals on miners next summer and a lowered difficulty level (or at least lower than it would have been). I don't think this is a reason to be fearful, but instead hopeful that if you're still at it and stacking sats, you're doing better than some of the larger players in the space.

I think the DOGE market is mostly people buying low, pumping, and then selling. That's why you're seeing lower highs with each pump attempt. While this latest pump is impressive and I'm sure a lot of people made a lot of money this week holding DOGE, but I wouldn't recommend buying here. As strange as it sounds, I think I wouldn't be able to take any rally serious until it gets over $0.20 which was the high of the last pump I believe. If Twitter does manage to pump DOGE to new all time highs though, things could get crazy. All eyes on Elon to see what exactly he has in store for crypto payments with Twitter.

It seems like Kyrie Irving has found a new source of drama for himself. Critics have labeled him as a promoter of anti-semitic media after his latest comments in support of a film that has met the same label. He's responded on twitter saying that he respects all religions and that he meant to disrespect, but I'm sure after Kanye the cancel culture vultures are circling. Even the Nets owner Joe Tsai came out and condemned Kyrie's comments. This is probably another example why the Nets didn't want to keep Kyrie on the team longer than they have to. I've never seen a player go out of their way to damage their value like Kyrie before. Always fun to watch what he's got going on. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/kyrie-irving-anti-semitic-label-not-justified-meant-no-disrespect-to-anyone-s-religious-beliefs/ar-AA13wrgK |

I think it depends if you're gambling on a mobile screen or on a PC. I for one appreciate the App experience when I'm using my phone because most websites are not designed especially for small screens. Sure, they have decent browser detection code now that you can display a mobile website for users with a streamlined experience, but apps are made specifically for phones most of the time and have larger text and buttons so that people using them from their phones don't have to squint and worry about hitting the right button. So for me that's what it boils down to. I definitely appreciate services that go through the effort to build an app. With how much people love their phones, it's almost a requirement these days.

Plinko is my favorite game, just turn on instant bet and spam plinko balls untill you hit something nice multiplier. Hitting 1000x is way more exciting than hitting 500x on slots, the 130x aka second big multiplier also helps user to maintain balance. Bad red streaks happen ofc, managing bankroll will not let the red streaks drain balance before hit.
I tried to play Plinko but I don't think the game is for me. I don't know I feel that the result is controlled. I always observe the ball bouncing too much going to the lesser multiplier if it is nearing to drop on a higher multiplier. Though I know it is a script but the presentation of the script is too obvious. Indeed it is easy and fast to play, I think that is the advantage of it. Unfortunately for me, when I try to join via VPN it doesn't load up games, it means that without VPN I can't open up the website, and with VPN I can't open up the games, with this logic I would not be able to gamble at stake at all, basically stake is telling me to go play somewhere else normally. That sucks, have you tried other mirror sites? It may solve the problem. But, the reality is that I tried using ToR and that works, or I tried certain paid VPN's and that works as well. I am confused. Does it work or does it not work? Your statement is somehow conflicting as if you are trying to convey that tor and VPN do not help but you stated it helps. Basically, you have to overwork to make it happen and that’s the tough challenge. I always say that stake needs to fix their situation, it’s a good wbesite but needs a lot better VPN friendly approach to their casino, it would really bring in a lot of people.
I think you need to try different country in order to make the VPN compatible to the stake site you are connecting. Trying different paid vpn also may work, I think you can try their trail version first if there is any. If you don't want to use TOR either because of it not always working with the site or for your own personal reasons, there are cheap VPNs that are compatible with most browsers and will allow you to connect to Stake. One such example is Browsec, which is free and will allow you to connect from a country of your choosing. It's a browser add-on, so it's rather simple to install and use. I think besides it being slow, it is a very nice option for searching the internet with some privacy. Give it a try if you've been having frustrations using TOR with Stake. You might find that it's the solution you've been looking for. |

I received some good feedback about these coin sets and the buyer was a bit surprised that these were still available so cheap. I'll admit that promotion and advertising has never been my strong suit, but if you haven't checked this set out, it might be worth your time. I don't think many people would be able to produce 1oz 0.9999 silver coins along with colorized and gold highlighted variants, all engraved with vanity addresses and secured with tamper proof holograms for anywhere near the price point of this set. At $165 for the 3-coin set, I think that this is probably one of the biggest steals available for physical crypto coins at the moment...
