I've never considered a career in betting consultancy but it seems like it's got to be one of the less secure positions a person could have.  Not to mention people would likely hold you accountable for their losses in some fashion for following your advice.  They make movies about that sort of thing.  This sounds like the type of job where 'what have you done for me lately' is a saying that comes to mind.  I'm not a professional gambler though.  Maybe for those who are really good at something, they want to be paid outside of their own wagers.

If you haven’t seen this video, it’s from a great local YouTuber. He does lots of great stuff like giving things away to people in need, but he also occasionally makes videos as “fake” Klay Thompson.

This video from game 5 got him banned from the Warriors arena for life and cost him to lose $10,000 tickets. Still funny. Check it out and some of his other videos as well.

No. Those rounds were all sold. Technically I could have more minted but it wouldn’t be for anywhere near spot price. I believe I have an American eagle left that I would be willing to sell. If you’re interested and in the US, send me a PM and we can discuss it.

It’s not just newbies that are forced out in this way. Even after more than a decade of protecting user funds with having handled more than 20,000 BTC of escrows and paid out over 700 BTC to community members through my mining operations, as well as safeguarding more than 500 BTC for this website, people still attack me and use the trust system to get extortionists in DT as a way to punish me for my efforts. Just look at who still has Vod in their trust networks after it’s been proven as factual that he lied about me and tried to extort me for millions. It’s a joke that these same people claim to be for the good of this site. Until this is addressed, as I said before… Trading activity will only continue to trend in one direction.

I'm selling everything for Bitcoin. 

I'm selling typical Bitcoin themed silver coins: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1637562.0

I'm selling other precious metals at spot price: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5072237.0

I'm selling original silver coins that earn/store BTC: https://nastyfans.org/mint

I'm even willing to sell my house for BTC if anyone is interested.  It's got a heated pool, an off-grid solar energy system, and lots of bedrooms (one with a separate electric circuit and exhaust tube for mining).

Basically, there's no object in my life that wouldn't be traded for Bitcoin at the right price.  I'm ready to live that Jedi life over here.

Wiggins is one of my favorite players and I would agree that he has been the key for the Warriors to win games this series.  I'm not sure you can give him the MVP though.  He only outplayed Curry in 1 game (last game) so far this series.  While the Warriors wouldn't be able to win without his rebounding and scoring, without Steph they wouldn't have a chance.  He draws so much attention on defense, everything that everyone else gets is a result of this. 

Would I like to see Wiggins win a Finals MVP award?  Hell yes.  Does he deserve it over Steph?  No. 

I think next game Steph will make it clear that he's the guy.  I do like that Wiggins is even in the conversation though.  That trade to Golden State saved his career.

Stake is infiltrating youtube in a major way.  I noticed that lots of the Nelk Boys are now repping for Stake.  Stevewilldoit is pushing Stake on his second channel almost exclusively while also showing it on his main channel.  I've seen Kyle (head of Nelk) wearing Stake stuff in videos so I assume more will be coming there.  Bradley Martin is even doing Stake gambling streams and videos now.  Stake's growth has been impressive and seeing them all over the place seems surreal.  All I can say is congrats to the team behind all these efforts.  They're doing a great job establishing their brand into the mainstream.

A lot has changed in Bitcoin prices over the last month, but one thing remains the same.  You can still get yourself some awesome silver coins with it.  

The available stock listed in the OP is correct.  Drop me a PM if you're interested in grabbing some of them.  I received a PM asking about these coins so I figured I'd give the thread a bump and let them have some visibility.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the thread or to me directly with a PM.  Always happy to get messages from friendly folks.

I think they will. If they can win with Steph having the shooting night he had tonight, the Celtics are in all sorts of trouble. Wiggins has stepped up and shown them that he’ll destroy them if they slack on defense and Klay was back to hitting shots. If Draymond could get a 3 to fall, the Celtics would be done. The next game will be a must watch for sure. The Celtics with their backs to the wall at home. It’s going to get gritty.

Wiggins is having himself another game. His highest scoring playoff half ever and 7 rebounds to match. I’ve been a fan of that kid since his days at Kansas and thought he caught a bad rap just because Cleveland wanted to swap him for Love to pair with LeBron and win immediately, which they did. Seeing him finally be appreciated by the Warriors and able to shine in the nba finals is awesome. I hope he stays on the warriors because it’s the first place that’s really shown him the respect he deserves. Love what I’m seeing as the warriors look likely to take a 3-2 lead over the Celtics.

Edit: Definitely spoke too soon! The Celtics come out and hit 8 straight 3s to start the 2nd half!!

Selling the items you bought with $65K BTC now isn't the worst idea.  Buy fancy car, drive for a year, sell for more in BTC than you paid.  Sounds like a good deal to me. 

Doesn't have to be a car either.  Maybe jewelry or collector coins.  Basically anything...  Even USD...  I think the folks who were able to sell at $65K are probably happy to buy back twice as many coins and spend the rest on whatever they see fit.  This is why diversification is always important, sometimes even with things that might not appear to be smart financial purchases at the time.

OH!  I had totally misunderstood this poster.  I thought it was double sided and framed in such a way that you can see both sides.  Not sure why I thought that, but in my mind that would be an awesome way to showcase it in the right spot.  I may have to find some sort of double sided frame to put both of them in and display that way.  In my mind, that's how it was going to be, so that's how it will be.    Thanks for clarifying!

I thought so as well, even though I did get a ton of pushback and saw some threads making allegations that I was doing this for nefarious reasons (shocker, I know).  It isn't totally selfless though I will admit.  I've found that checking the newbies in that thread has allowed me to ignore a TON of spammers.  This pays dividends down the road as well, because those users will NEVER have the chance to get merit from me now.  Not to mention I'll never have to waste my time reading their posts.  From my perspective that's an awesome benefit and nearly worth the effort of the thread by itself. 

I know many of the people commenting here weren't actually around back then, so let me just say that while it cannot be proved who ran with the coins from the "hack," it seems clear to me that TradeFortress did make an effort to pay people back and if he was trying to sign up for a signature campaign to help him repay more people, it is a shame that those who weren't around back then but choose to harm him anyway with negative trust ratings are actually hurting the ability for full repayment.  This attitude of wanting to leave negative trust to people who make strong efforts on behalf of this community has always dumbfounded me.  It's an attitude that has allowed those who contribute nothing to 'rise to power' in the trust network while those who are responsible for Bitcoin's early success by building use cases are demonized and forced out of the community.  

I know I already posted in this thread once detailing how I was repaid what is now a six figure sum of $ in Bitcoin by TradeFortress, but I can't stress enough how repaying this amount of money to a stranger is not something a scammer would do.  At least in my opinion.  



Broke mentality for life!  
(this post brought to you by Stake.com)

An idea, for sure.  Not a good one though.  I couldn't imagine the amount of drama it would stir up if I gave myself a single merit for anything.  LOL

It would be with good reason too.  I would be annoyed at anyone meriting themselves.  I think we all probably believe our posts deserve merit, so having others issue it is just the common sense thing to do.  Don't feel sorry for merit sources.  Many of us likely benefit from handing out merit in one way or another.  Just look at who sends the most merit and who receives the most merit.

That's not so simple.  You can't just choose to guard Curry.  He has such great off the ball movement, he can basically pick which defender he wants and utilize screens to make it happen.  All he needs is an inch of space to get off a shot, so he's going to get his shots.  The Celtics can try to chase him around, but ultimately it will take team defense to stop him.  Even then he would likely become a playmaker and get his other guys involved.  Now they even have Poole to throw in there and exhaust the defense while Curry rests.  I think the Warriors don't lose another game this series, but I could quickly be proven wrong. 

I've never had huge winnings when it comes to gambling.  Mostly because I gamble for fun so it's more about putting some extra excitement in the game than it is trying to make money.  I have had a couple big scores though.  I recall one year I bet pretty big against Dallas during Thanksgiving.  The odds were that they were going to win because Tony Romo was coming back from injury and everyone seemed to think he was going to carry them to a win.  I on the other hand thought he was washed, so I made a big bet that paid off.  What did I spend the money on you ask?  Everyone who was with me that Thanksgiving partied pretty well.  It was good times. 

I would imagine that the Bitcoin dump doesn't have many positive effects on anyone, outside of those who are short.  Perhaps there are some people who feel like they can gamble their way out of their investment losses, or people who are so fed up with losing their investment that they just risk it all as holding has become exhausting for them mentally.  Besides added risk taking with gambling, I could see people doing the same with investing by using leverage.  I'm sure you may end up hearing some stories about people betting their last coins and winning big, but there will be a lot of stressed out people who make bad decisions based on their temporary emotions and live to regret it.  As always, be careful.

I've noticed that Stevewilldoit has started putting multiple videos up per week showing him playing on Stake.  His latest video spree seems to be about him gambling on stake with huge bets, then if he wins he spends the money buying things for others (cars, houses, etc).  If he loses, he buys people things anyway, probably from the revenue his videos generate.  If you want to support Stake advertisers and enjoy seeing people gamble or give stuff away, check it out.

This is his second channel that shows mostly gambling, but he gives Stake lots of love in his first channel as well.
