Oh sh*t! I forgot he is a businessman after all.
Yeah, they do that.
Making bad statements about an opponent while preparing for their own look alike or a copy of the one they are against.
Good analysis.

He might do it. It may look like the same as what Suckerberg's project it.
I mean he aint really stopping it but more like just holding it to avoid big industries investing with Libra.

Everyone keeps saying playoffs are different from regular season and I totally agree because in regular season players do not give 100% of their game and just try to make it to playoffs which is enough, sometimes there is radical stuff happen like 73-9 warriors season but normally everyone just plays with like 50% power.

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that plenty of stuff changed in the past off season, yeah Denver is a good young team but right now there are plenty of teams with super duos, clippers/Lakers/rockets/blazers and warriors still have curry, so there is a big chance teams will play all around better because talent is more evenly distributed, that is why I think there is no chance Denver finishes second seed, maybe last year or year before that it was possible but there is parity in the league now.

You just could not get over it right?  Grin

Do not take it seriously. There are chances they might get the second spot. "CHANCES" It is not said to be an accurate prediction.
Denver is still a strong team. As you said, other teams dont give their best in regular season and Denver might use that to get a safe spot for the playoffs and that is number 2 or number 1.

Yeah super duos, and if 1 of the two gets injured?
Denver's roster is not like that. They are the team. They lose Murray, they can still win. They lose Jokic, they can still win.
You will have to consider everything. They might go number 8 or even number 1. It doesnt matter as long as they can go to the playoffs.
5443  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Local bitcoin trading site doing KYC NOW on: July 19, 2019, 06:18:27 PM
I bet they got a paper saying this should be done from the government into which country they reside.
This is for their company to keep on going.

Well, they may lose some customers but it may strengthen their security or the security of those who trade here.
I do agree much with KYC for it loses the privacy of one human being.
But if you are doing a lot of transactions specially at that exchange then maybe it could be a good thing.

Anyways, you could go look out for more if you dont like the new rule.

As a regular NBA analyst, it's common for them to make predictions. He is also a co-host in a sports TV show.
It's part of his job and knowing that he's into the professional scene before, he can predict and say what's on his mind.



Well being a former NBA player his analyst is something that we need to look at. Remember even though those guys are not playing anymore, they still have contacts and insider information. Just like us here, we have our own predictions however, it doesn't have any weight as compare to those NBA analyst because they really know what's going on inside and outside of the basketball court. So I will respect what Rose has put up in his list, just sayin'.

Yeah!! Straight forward. That is true.

They tell it during their analysis. Something like "according to my source". This guys go way deep specially when they are veteran analysts like Stephen A and also NBA players. They know the guys whom they should talk to acquire the right information and not just base on guess.

Some of the information about the trades that happened now actually came from them, we should always consider them with a larger percentage of being accurate.
But it is basketball, when it comes to prediction about number 1 to 8 seeds, they could change.
Consider also injuries and other stuff that may happen.
5445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IEO vs ICO my opinion, tell me yours on: July 19, 2019, 12:42:03 PM
The problem would be if there is nothing to recover.

Some just invested everything in ICO and turned out to be scam. Literally vanishing out of thin air. With that, they are lost. It is difficult to recover from that, better yet to just leave the crypto investing thing.

But there are some who are still optimistic. I bet they are in the IEO investments which could protect them a little.
Just dont put your hopes to high. It may happen again and another 3 letter thing will pop out.
5446  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trump tweet / Libra issues / Shortsighted opinions on: July 18, 2019, 11:26:35 PM
Trump tweets about bitcoin as based on thin air. Bitcoin goes up.

Trump tweets another about Libra having little standing and dependability. People goes crazy looking forward investing with it.

He just freakin ignited the popularity of this two. If I were him I would shut up next time.
Do not give clues to people of having another option on how to make transaction or even where to invest.

Oh thank you Mr. President. Until next time.
5447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 18, 2019, 10:13:59 PM
How the hell these projections show denver at the second seed? I mean Denver was alright last season but they literally barely beat an injury ridden spurs in 7 games (even though they were playing as second seed vs seven seed) and then lost to Portland.

I mean I get it they are good and they finished second seed last year but last year teams were not really caring about that much because they knew for a fact that warriors (with addition of boogie as well) would just sprint to championship easily, nobody really assumed warriors would get so many injuries. This season with that many teams contenting for title, its impossible for such a young team to get to second seed. Mine would be ;

 1- Clippers
 2- Lakers
 3- Rockets
 4- Warriors
 5- Denver
 6- Blazers
 7- Spurs
 8- Jazz

LOL.

They play different when it comes to the playoffs. That is why even just for the 8th seed it will be worth the shot.
Season is about the attendance of the roster, they dont play that hard anymore in season to protect themselves.
Denver have young players in their roster and that is why they made it as the 2nd seed in the West.

Don't get me wrong but look at the Roster of other teams in the West. Yes, they are all powerhouse teams but.... they are not getting any younger. They cannot complete 82 games anymore and that means something if you want to be number 1 seed. Every game will count.

2-There is no reason to panic if we were to see sub 7k or 8k , it does not mean we were entering a bear market , if that happens, think of it as the PERFECT correction which will give us enough power to break 14k.

Was always looking for another entry point for my buys and I was thinking that anything below $10k was already a good possibility. We're now back at the $10k levels after a harsh correction down to $9300 these past few days and I don't think we'll be seeing a lot more downward action anytime sooner, but then again the forward momentum is still bleak. Orders from the buying side is still weak though, and I don't think the weak hands are already shaken--not yet.

It looks like the shake is over if it aint a correction. The bad side is if they are already accumulating while we are waiting.
Me, will be one of the victim though.  Grin
I am still giving it a week and if this price goes back down then I am buying already. Don't want them to be on the front row while I am just following them.
But if this goes to another stable week or a month then, there is a good chance an upward will come.
Just means the FOMO's are getting stronger hands which traders would not want to happen.  Grin
There should always be volatility for profits.

You can do this while you are single.
Try to maximize the opportunities that you can get.
But, when you have kids this cannot be tolerated. You will look like an irresponsible Dad and you dont want to hear that to your wife and your kids.
Yeah, I am an old school type of person where I dont want to be jobless and my wife will work for the family. That is not just me.
Staying at home trading might work. But it aint stable. If you are staying in a cheap place where you are alone and pays cheap rent then it might just work.

I am not scared to step up and trade but I cannot risk it all for it is my savings for the kids future.  Grin

Good thing you have that much courage though. Good luck.
5450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 18, 2019, 12:54:32 PM

Fair point. But as a fan, we are leaning towards the "not so good" Houston because of the pairing of the two ball hoggers in the NBA. As fans we've seen them grown individually, but being in the same team? We all have our doubts.

Of course we can't discounted the fact that injuries could happen to Lebron or Kawhi again. But if they remain healthy, I don't think that Houston can be the number one seed in the West.

Good one.
I forgot to add that Harden almost perfect playing the whole regular season.
78. There is the point of Jalen. As of winning the game because of the conflict of two ball hog then maybe Mike D'Antoni is already preparing for that.
As long as both are playing healthy then it is still a good sign to be in the number 1 seed.

~
Everybody wants their rematch. I bet even the Warriors and Sixers wants that chance to get their revenge on Kahwi with the Raptors.

Everybody is talking about how Giannis would improve next season and I also hope he does because the Sixers will definitely be a tough competition. I would not be sleeping on that Celtics team also now that they got Kyrie out.

Yeah we will see now if Kyrie is the real problem out there. But they dont have Rozier now and do have Kemba. It will be a different kind of game unlike 2 years ago where Kyrie is out and the bench are in control.
It will be a different story.
5451  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING! this is very misleading on: July 18, 2019, 04:27:35 AM
It's funny to remember some of what I did before.
Yes I am guilty of doing that kind of speculation before investing.
I dont look at what features of a project is before but just mere looking at this bar and then buying their tokens if I see that bar almost hitting the softcap.
Learned a good lesson from it.
Now, I dont. I think there are more legitimate ones which dont show bars like that but rather tell their supporters everything in their telegram group.
Being transparent is really a must.
5452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 17, 2019, 08:14:52 PM
Wow Jalen thinks the Warriors will sink to the 7th spot after years of dominating the western conference.  I predicting the Lakers to finish in first, Lebron will have a strong fire burning after missing the playoffs last year and he got to rest after so many deep playoff runs year after year.

He is basing it on the way the team in West are stacking up, Lebron, Kawhi in LA uniforms now. Plus GSW also overall their second unit so it make sense that they're no longer the favourites and possible to drop at the 7th-8th spot. But I'm sure they could make the playoff but it will be difficult to go to the WCF.

I really don't understand why Houston is on top, yes they have one of the best duo, but it's not yet proven, as compare to Lillard and Mccollum.

True but Jalen also have some good points here.
You could watch it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZeVXapIPCE&t=257s

His points are Lebron not finishing 82 games just like last year which is true and that is why he put Lakers at 5th seed.
Same with Clippers with Kawhi missing 20 games.
GSW without Klay Thompson.
So chances are it will be Denver at top or it will be Houston if they just keep on doing what they have done last year.
Looks like they are not being affected by the addition of Westbrook at all. (they = NBA analysts)

We have different looks here. It will just be a prediction though. We will see it when the season starts.
I want to see Dallas making it to the 8th spot at least.

FIVETHIRTYEIGHT PROJECTION OF TOP 8 SEEDS IN THE WEST

1. HOUSTON ROCKETS
2. DENVER NUGGETS
3. LA LAKERS
4. GS WARRIORS
5. UTAH JAZZ
6. LA CLIPPERS
7. DALLAS MAVERICKS
8. NEW ORLEANS PELICANS

JALEN ROSE'S PROJECTION OF TOP 8 SEEDS IN THE WEST

1. HOUSTON ROCKETS
2. DENVER NUGGETS
3. LA CLIPPERS
4. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
5. LA LAKERS
6. UTAH JAZZ
7. GS WARRIORS
8. SA SPURS

Take a pick or create your own top 8.

Dallas and Pelicans aint on Jalen's projection while Spurs and Trail Blazers is not of fivethirtyeight.
For me, Jalen's projection is more reliable than the other. Surely, they forget about Spurs and Portland there. They are hyping Dallas too much and also the rookie Zion of Pelicans with the young guns.

I will just adjust Jalen's projection as Jazz and Spurs on the 7th and 8th seed while Portalnd at 6 and Lakers  and Warriors fighting for the 4th seed.
5454  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Managers do not Determine the Legitimacy of a Cryptocurrency Project on: July 17, 2019, 04:07:11 PM
Not all have the same issue.
Some of them are very strict with the applications of users here. Whatever rank you are.
Also, about the legitimacy of one project. If you are to keep your good profile ranking here then it is a must to look for the background of the project.
Again, some of them does this and some of them dont which aims just for the money and not for the features of the project.

How can you prevent it or keep yourself safe?
Then do your own research. You dont just rely on what the manager said or his trust rating. Go way beyond that by doing a deep analysis about what you will support or invest with.

But the problem is they are not!

I dont about XRP and there is no assurance that it will rise after this BTC dump that is happening.
It is still a risk and dont know if it will come true.
There is one question though.
Where is all that sold BTC going?
Are they fitting in the total number of USDT out there?
Even ETH is going south and it is not looking good.
5456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 17, 2019, 03:39:04 AM

I'll look more closely on the team that has a decent change to be in the Finals, actually Bucks was a good team but they are fully hype when they beat the Celtics convincingly, I also lose as I bet on them against the Raptors and I think they it's hard for them to beat a good team with only Giannis carrying the team, why? because he is so predictable, same team, so possibly same result.

No, I dont agree with that. They dont have that much experience in the Finals. Now, they have that. Giannis now have an idea of what he is missing. He cannot just penetrate the paint. They have their trainers and I am sure they are already making an upgrade.
Lebron is almost the same when he came in. Just penetrating the paint for most of the time but shoots quite well than Giannis now. There is a lot of room for improvements with the Greek Freak and he shows it with his threes.

It is not just about Giannis on that team. He had Middleton, Bledsoe and Lopez which had supported him quite well when he cannot make some points.
This year though is a must win for them and it may be against 76ers which is also doing great.

5457  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One week in Bitcoin July 2019 on: July 16, 2019, 10:19:03 PM
Too much news and events about bitcoin.
Let us make it as positive as possible.

Also, we should thank all of them from the media and different branches of different governments. Thank you again.
You showed "new possible crypto currency investors" that it is awesome to have bitcoin.
There is just so much life in it being in the news and everything.

If I am a the new one that will see this ruckus then one thing I will do. Google all the way what bitcoin is and maybe go way deeper into understanding why the hell that President is so mad at it.

I still prefer not going that far. 100k USD is a large amount which could produce more chaos in the financial market.

Protection. I believe that we still have a good protection in staying with a smaller value up until now. I would rather see it fall again and then just go back up rather than hitting a new all time high.
I am not as greedy as other people around here. But not also a hypocrite to say I dont need the money.

But with 6 digit price? Do you really think they (government) will just be silent about it?
5459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 16, 2019, 01:17:38 PM
They just got their playoff experience already so now they are looking at how the team will go for next season with no disruptions for the core team.
Speaking of this.
Want to ask about your opinion everybody..

Are there any benefits for those team who didn't really shuffle their line ups? Like, there are no changes in their line up from the previous season.
For what my point of view is, since they don't have new teammates, their play will still remain as is since they are the same line up for their previous games.
Opposite that is when a particular team has really shuffled their line ups, like trade here, trade there, their playstyle will likely make some different, right?

Preserving the chemistry. That is one hell of a benefit for the entire team.
That means there is no drama happening in their roster unlike Houston, OKC and a lot more. Hell even GSW did once with KD and Green.

The trust with Gianis even if he didnt perform well on the Finals is still intact. Brogdon's loss though is a huge one. He just made it from his injury and traded now to Indiana. Looks like they are just going to use him while Oladipo is injured.
5460  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BITCOIN CONFIRMATION on: July 16, 2019, 07:12:43 AM
I am sure you will still receive .009 in your account.
That is if the exchange you are using is supporting bitcoin also as a wallet. (I doubt they dont support it if you are sending bitcoin already)

Look, the conversion of bitcoin to USD should be on your part. That is one of your right. They should not be automatically converting it to USD once you sent bitcoin to bitcoin.

So if it does then it is not just fair. Maybe you should use another exchange next time.
