502  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Claiming ETH Token from Trezor wallet on: January 13, 2024, 05:57:47 PM
Upon opening up my Trezor wallet today I noticed that with my ETH it says there's a token to claim.  Has anyone seen this before? Is this legitimate? Any help/feedback is much appreciated!


503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if authorities launch a tax for owning bitcoin? on: January 13, 2024, 05:38:09 PM
I think this is pretty ridiculous and there's no chance of this ever happening.  I guess it's never a bad idea to think about all sorts of different possibilities that there could be coming with owning bitcoin, but, I just don't see this one ever coming to fruition.  I mean how would they even go about tracking everyone down and holding them accountable? 

Also, if they ever come to tax my bitcoin that I'm simply hodling, I will let them know they can suck it out of the tip of my ... yeah.
504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your predictions for the state of Bitcoin in 2024? on: January 13, 2024, 05:34:51 PM
I honestly expected a lot more out of bitcoin when the ETF news finally hit this week.  I knew that all the rumors and discussions going on about bitcoin over the last few months had "fueled the fire", so to speak, where bitcoin did sort of already have the news of the bitcoin ETF being approved baked in to the price.

I thought for sure once it was announced btc would fly past 50k, but I of course was wrong.

I mean are there actually people around here who say this, who say you can't be a millionaire in sports betting?  This honestly extremely goofy.  There are plenty of high rollers who gambling in the millions who are successful.  If there wasn't any room for success or to win, no one would ever gamble then.

I find it a bit silly people don't believe you can make a whole lot of money by sports betting.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You'll be a discipline gambler in sports if you have a real bankroll. on: January 13, 2024, 05:24:49 PM
Yeah I mean this is how I actually approach all forms of gambling. If and when I go to an in person casino and won't be doing any sort of sports betting at all, I will normally take out a specific amount of cash from my bank account and my deal to myself is I'm able to blow all of it, but if I win a bunch, then I will normally save half of that and try and gamble to win more with the other half.

Just how I got about it anyhow.

I wouldn't call Ravens superbowl lock based on Lamar postseason history

I wouldn't call anyone a "lock" per say, I just can't see the Ravens or Niners not being in it.  Lamar is likely to be this years MVP, almost a certainly in fact, but I agree that he's not been the regular season MVP so much in the post-season.  Now I'm not sure I abide by this saying, but they do say "defense wins championships" and I believe the Ravens to have the best defense in the league, so that will certainly play a sizable role.

Dude...I feel like mahones is the new Brady in terms of counting him out and then come playoffs they just roll.  I'm with you with the Ravens but when I had to throw money down I'm all in on the cheifs until I see someone knock them out.  Mahones did it on one leg last year.  He has 2 now! Lol.

Well Mahomes is hands down the unquestioned best football player on the planet, and he's already in my top 5 best QBs ever.  I mean I got Brady and maybe Manning (Eli of course  Cheesy ) above him right now. 


Here's my picks for the games this nice warm cozy weekend lol...

Texans > Browns +2
Chiefs > Dolphins ML
Bills> Steelers ML
Cowboys > Packers -7
Rams>Lions +3
Bucs>Eagles +3

Shame on scarce. Whomever this Chris guy is, he doesn’t properly run an auction website and would greatly benefit from making basic, necessary changes. It’s hard to not simply think he’s being cheap, as surely he’s aware of his websites obvious limitations.  Total bullshit.
509  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Heads up cool bitcoin stuff auction at Scarce.City on: January 11, 2024, 11:10:51 PM
I love seeing different outlets selling these collectibles.  I mean between scare and auction houses such as Heritage and Stacks starting to market this stuff, it's taken the hobby to a whole new level.  That said when it comes to scarce, for the love of god make a better website.  The site is too difficult to navigate and just a pain to use over all.  I've placed a few bids on there and was turned off entirely by the whole experience.  Just my 2.  Thx for sharing!
510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jamie Dimon said he would close Bitcoin down if he was in government on: January 11, 2024, 11:07:11 PM
See that's the funny thing or irony of the whole situation.  Jamie has continuously bashed bitcoin and cryptocurrency yet his company created their own cryptocurrency coin as well as doing things such a filing for an ETF.  The main is a massive hypocrite on top of being one of the worlds biggest scumbags.  I can't stand this piece of human filth. 

Banks are only interested in Bitcoin's core Blockchain tech. Not the cryptocurrency itself. JP Morgan has been experimenting with its own version of the ETH blockchain for the implementation of its very own cryptocurrency/token. Yet, Jamie Dimon criticizes Bitcoin as being a cryptocurrency used for criminal activities. If that's the case, why care about Blockchain tech at all? Pure hypocrisy like you've said.

Eventually, these bankers will launch a CBDC with the government to proceed with their plan of a "global reset". The rich will become richer, and the poor, poorer. Once CBDCs rule the world, we should expect a full blanket ban for decentralized cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH. At least, in the future. Lets all enjoy the spot ETFs hype while it lasts. Grin

Ehh I certainly agree that they are mostly interested in the blockchain technology and how this could be implemented in to their systems and how it could improve things, but banks tend to be interested in anything they can make money on.  I have no doubts that Chase financial adivsors will start putting people in to bitcoin ETFs.  As an FA who hears from clients all the time on bitcoin, they want to own it and they want to own it as safely and easily as possible so an ETF where they don't have to worry about the key control, will be extremely enticing.  Can't wait to see how Jamie reacts to this.  He certainly wont stop it, if there's money to be made, he's there for it.   
511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you willing to bet $50 spin for a chance to win $42 million? on: January 11, 2024, 11:02:53 PM
This is no different than playing the Lotto here in the United States.  There's both a federal or nationwide lotto as well as each state has their own lotto.  I rarely ever play because the way I see it, the odds are so extremely low that I'd rather gamble my $5 or $10 on some sort of shitcoin with a potential to pump and dump.  I just see that as a better bet.  I guess it can't hurt throwing a few bucks at it, I mean you can't win unless you play right.

I'm so ticked off at myself for not placing bets for the Golden Globes, so I'll definitely try and get on top of it for the Oscars. I knew that The Bear would take home some trophies, along with of course Succession as well as some of the other winners.  I've watch a lot more television and movies this year so I'm feeling confident I could place some solid bets.
514  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 10, 2024, 06:30:45 PM
lol your buddy, and no offense, doesn't sound like the brightest bulb in the pack.  I mean well yeah no shit the more you gamble the better chance you have at winning.  However it also means you've got a better chance at losing.  I think utilizing any strategy like this is a bet reckless.  You should gamble based off knowledge/odds etc, not how often you do so.
515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: January 10, 2024, 06:27:53 PM
It's really hard to imagine any other two teams in the super bowl outside of the Ravens and Niners.  I guess I could see the Chiefs or Cowboys potentially working their way in, but doubtful.  I have absolutely zero faith in the Dolphins, Bills or Eagles making it to the ship.  I just don't think any of those 3 teams play consistently enough.

Anyone else pissed off and annoyed that these Wild Card games are being played on Peacock?  I mean wtf man.  We already have Amazon taking over TNF, now we get more pay services bs with these Wild Card games.  I mean can the NFL really expect us not to seek streams for the game.  Not everyone can afford 10k different streaming platforms ( off topic but remember when we use to think that TV would turn in to this great "a la cart" platform.  Not only did that not happen, it's only gotten worse smh).
516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet on favorites early in the week & underdogs late in the week strategy... on: January 10, 2024, 06:22:28 PM
I am by no means a professional gambler, and therefore I've certainly got plenty to learn (one of the reasons I like being active in this part of the forum).  I was recently listening to a gambling talk radio podcast and they were saying one basic rule of thumb to live by when sports betting is to bet favorites in the early part of the week and under-dogs in the later part of the week as the spread tends to favor this strategy.  

So I'm just curious if the sports betters in here take this "rule of thumb" strategy seriously and tend to follow it.  Or if there's any experience that says this may not be all that great of a strategy.  Thoughts?
In as much as betting or placing a bet in the earlier part of the week doesn't or cannot alter the outcome of the match I am not bothered placing bet at that time though the odd or spread might be high what matter most to me is picking the sure bets a day before the matches for instance picking my bets weekend matches on Thursday and Friday while picking bets for midweek UCL matches on Sunday and Monday with the aim of accumulating the odds to 3.00 to 4.00 though as from now I will take a close observation of the odds if there are noticeable difference then I might start my pick very early to accumulate more odds.

You're missing the entire point.  This is also a sentiment that I've seen others post here. Yeah of course it has absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of the match per say, it's all about utilizing a strategy to obtain better odds. I think everyone could agree that when placing sports bets, it's advantageous to get the best odds you can.  That's what this is all about.  People seem to be missing the point here.
517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We dont own enough bitcoin on: January 10, 2024, 06:20:07 PM
"Lets face it, getting BTC is at this point more rewarding for the average person than buying Real Estate, Gold, Silver, Oil stock, etc".  I mean I guess this depends on when you bought it, but also I think it's important to know these are all apples and oranges as they are different types of investments. 

It's been interesting seeing Kitco get so involved with bitcoin/crypto.  I do have to say however I've seen quite a few videos from them about the topic that were pretty ridiculous.  Hopefully they keep evolving in that manner as Kitco is a solid player of course in the precious metals space and have bought/sold with them a few times throughout the years.
518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jamie Dimon said he would close Bitcoin down if he was in government on: January 10, 2024, 06:17:23 PM
I've spoken about Jamie here quite a bit, and my opinion still stands.  Jamie Dimon should be rotting in a jail cell right now, however he runs one of the worlds largest and most profitable scams.  Just take a look at how much JP Morgan Chase has in fraud violations since the year 2000.  Nearly 40 BILLION dollars   https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/jpmorgan-chase .  That's not a type.  This man is pure evil scum.  He doesn't like bitcoin because it goes against how he makes his millions. 

That's the main reason why Jamie hates Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency's level of transparency would reveal his corruption to the public. With the USD, he can hide his activities without leaving any trace. Only the government will be able to know his tactics. I guess being a banker does have its benefits.

I'm yet to see what will be Jamie Dimon's reaction after spot ETFs are approved by the SEC. BlackRock already named JP Morgan as an "authorized participant" in its ETF application. Would he retract his comments of Bitcoin being a cryptocurrency used by criminals? Only time will tell us. I'd hold on tight as this is going to be a "bumpy" ride. Cheesy

See that's the funny thing or irony of the whole situation.  Jamie has continuously bashed bitcoin and cryptocurrency yet his company created their own cryptocurrency coin as well as doing things such a filing for an ETF.  The main is a massive hypocrite on top of being one of the worlds biggest scumbags.  I can't stand this piece of human filth.

Or was it money due to Craig Wright cough who is supposed to be Satoshi
https://twitter.com/Pledditor/status/1744168276991545740

The transaction's destination, 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa, links back to the P2PKH address associated with the public key that received the genesis block reward

"Munches Popcorn" I think Legal Abandonment of Property would be a legal argument at this point

Someone just sent Satoshi's genesis wallet $1.2 mil. in BTC.

Why?? The only thing that makes any sense is that the sender is flushing Satoshi out.

Under the new IRS rules, you have to report  any receipt of crypto over $10k. So, Satoshi has to dox himself, OR break the law
https://twitter.com/attorneyjeremy1/status/1743842422285562336/photo/1



That's IRS rule which only applies to those inside the United States.  I saw this as a buddy sent it to me the other day.  Really quite odd to be honest. I guess this person likely has a ridiculous amount of bitcoin and wanted to make news headlines and well he sure did as we can see here.  I doubt we will ever find out who did this and why, but who knows.
