How are you arranging for payment to be made?  Are you accepting escrow or are you shipping the product first to trusted members?  Any pictures so we know that you have the phones and aren't attempting a drop shipment from some sketchy website?  I think you will probably need to supply more information if you want anyone to consider this offer, especially from a brand new account.  Good luck.

Hi all,

Title is pretty self-explanatory. I'm looking to buy as much Rinkenby ETH as possible Smiley

Pls DM offers - happy to do escrow for large amounts.

Isn’t this free? I’ll sell you some. PM me if you’re serious. Last time I checked you could still get this ETH for free so unless something has changed that I’m unaware of, that’s probably still the best way to get your hands on some. If you’re buying though, I’m selling. Smiley

How have some of you stopped doing this over leveraging. Crypto rich but cash poor. Tips and advice appreciated.

I like being cash poor.  It keeps me from doing stupid things like buying a Lamborghini or a $200K watch (OK, I still buy dumb cars and jewelry).  I think if I were to cash out all my investments I'd find myself living in a hotel in the Bahamas staring at the ocean for months on end.  Staying cash poor keeps me active with my investments and grounded with my spending.  Sometimes you need to be a little motivated to toss some ramen on the stove instead of hitting up Uber Eats.  

That being said, instead of investing all your money into crypto, make sure you have some traditional investments as well.  Sure, getting 3% per year might not seem sexy, but once your portfolio grows large enough you can use those dividends as spending money while investing your excess earnings into crypto or more stocks.  A balanced portfolio that generates crypto and cash is far better than having just one or the other.

Cash poor > Cash rich

Broke people stay broke trying to look rich.  Rich people stay rich by investing and diversifying.

Nothing beats cheap graphic cards for mining long term, use your present GPU for some practice, pools and stuffs then when the right time comes you will be able to buy 700$ GPU in bull market for 300$, look forward to that.

Mostly my advice piggybacking on this would be to make sure that you spend USD and not BTC on your GPUs.  That's the best way in my opinion to achieve ROI, otherwise you'll be looking at the BTC price and wishing you had just held in a few years.  Spending USD to buy miners has always been the winning move in crypto in my opinion and the biggest stings I've had in my crypto experience is spending BTC and not buying more to replace it immediately.  Then you get mad at start looking for people to blame.  Save yourself the trouble and spend you fiat to mine crypto.  Smiley

Who is right Putin or Ukranian President ?

I think from their own perspectives each must think they are right, correct?  Otherwise, you could assume that there would be no conflict.  I don't think Putin wakes up in the morning wondering what evil he can unleash on the world.  I think he's genuinely doing what he feels is in the best interests of his people.  Is he wrong?  From my perspective it seems so, but maybe I'd be wrong to assume that I wouldn't do the same thing in his position.  Killing people is never ok, especially with large scale wars where nearly everyone ends up a victim in some form.  I'd like to think Putin knows a lot that I don't which he feels justifies his actions, but I'm too ignorant on the entire subject to have much of a smart take.  Mostly I think this should have been handled with talks and if Russia had issues with the United States doing things too close to their borders, maybe we should have engaged in more discussions on what we could have done to avoid this conflict.

So, guys, we are now in the most exciting part of the playoffs, it's NBA FINALS.

Per betting odds, the Warriors are the favorite to win.

Warriors 1.65
Boston 2.26

Also, the Warriors have the home-court advantage in this series.

So let's discuss guys, what team do you think will win and why?

Besides experience and home court advantage, the Warriors also have the best 3 point shooter in NBA history, and have to be anxious to prove that while injuries held them back the last 2 seasons, this year they're healthy and still the best team in the NBA.  Boston has been building for a long time for this moment too, but in today's NBA that's built on 3 point shooting, you have to give the Warriors the advantage here.  I'm looking for Tatum to have some big games in this series, but ultimately I think Klay and Wiggs are going to be able to lock down Tatum and Brown while Boston has no answer for Steph.  Should be a great series.  I wonder who Marcus Smart will be guarding...
5767  Economy / Collectibles / Re: WTB unredeemed/unpeeled Casascius coins on: May 30, 2022, 06:52:09 PM
How much do you offer for a Cascascius V1 error coin? I may or may not know someone who holds one and may or may not be willing to sell for the right price. I was thinking somewhere in the range of 100% over face value, or 2 btc, might be fair.

That is insane. Those coins go for 1.1 at best.

Maybe in an auction setting.  I know there's no way I would even consider an offer that low for mine, but to each their own.  The last 2 Casascius coins I sold had premiums of 220% & 50%.  At 10% I would assume the offer was a joke.  I'd rather peel, claim the alts, and sell the peeled coin than deal with the headaches of making a deal, shipping, etc. for that small of a premium.

Now, it's the Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors Grin Good luck mate! The first two games will be held at the Warriors home.

It's going to be a great matchup.  I think Al Horford might end up being the key to the Celtics having a chance to win.  That's really the only position they have a clear advantage over the Warriors, while the Warriors have Steph, which basically gives them a chance to win any night.  Both teams are great defensively, so I think it's going to come down to Steph's shooting or Horford's inside play.  Personally, I'd put my money on Steph.

I hope Wiggins has a great series too.  His career has been a rough one, but ever since his days in Kansas you could tell he was special.

Great game 7 between the Celtics and Heat. I was a little worried at the end there but the Celtics came through. A great game by Jimmy Butler, but he was one shot away from being a hero at the end when he missed that three. Still, the Heat had a great season they can be proud of. Now we’re set for the Finals between the Warriors and the Celtics.

If I purchase bitcoins via p2p, can I get some problems if the bitcoins I get were involved in some criminal activity ? If yes then how do I avoid such situation ?

I've heard of funds being locked or even confiscated due to their origin, but this isn't something I've ever experienced personally.  I've handled a ton of escrows and I'm certain some of those coins had to be tainted, but I've never gotten any pushback from exchanges questioning me on it.  So I think you're probably good unless you're one step removed from some sort of scam or crime.  That being said, if you're going to buy coins via p2p just to move them to an exchange, I'd have to wonder why you don't just use the exchange.  If you're knowingly accepting tainted coins, that's a whole other story, and one you'll like get to tell a judge someday.
5771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 29, 2022, 07:56:38 PM
We are finally going to find out the victorious team in this series tonight. Miami Heat have a really good advantage of playing home indeed. But at this stage, I don't think that it will matter much. Both teams defeated each other in away games in this series before. This must be enough proof for this as a result. I will also choose Boston Celtics to make it to the finals. I think they will defeat Miami Heat by a close point difference and become the opponent of Warriors after. I will expect to see a strong effort by Tatum in this one too.

Nothing beats a game 7 in the NBA playoffs.  This is going to be a great one for sure.  I didn't think Miami would make it this far, but they've done a hell of a job in the playoffs.  I still think Boston is going to rise to the occasion and beat them tonight, but I've been wrong a few times about Miami already.  I just find it hard to believe that Jimmy Butler can carry a team to the Finals, but that seems to be what's happening.  My prediction is that he'll be held to below 25 points and the Celtics will win.  If he puts up another 40+ and gets them a win, I may have to acknowledge that he's a star player instead of locker room cancer.
5772  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Want to Buy Graded Casascius .1 on: May 28, 2022, 11:39:12 PM
Preferably graded 69/70 but would entertain upgraded examples as well. I would also want to use an escrow service... peace of mind for both of us. Thanks in advance.

As always, it would be helpful to know what sort of pricing you had in mind for an item like this.  I've seen these particular coins sell for anywhere between 0.2-0.35 BTC fairly recently, so knowing what sort of price you were looking to pay would be helpful to potential sellers.  Good luck with your purchase and as always I'm available for escrow should it be needed.

DM'ing you!

This miner has now been sold so I am locking the thread.  Thanks to everyone who inquired and thanks to Sledge0001 for stepping up to purchase it.  I really liked these miners and they were as small and silent as you'd expect.  With the heat stepping up already in the desert, it just made sense for me to sell them.  Great miners though for the at home hobbyist.

Stevewilldoit released another video yesterday that showed him doing some gambling on Stake.  He also wore a Stake hat throughout the video while wearing his Bitcoin diamond pendant.  There's another guy in the video wearing a Bored Ape Yacht Club hoodie.  Crazy to see crypto so mainstream.  Another great promo for Stake, as the video has over a million views in the one day it's been out.  Worth a watch.

The elevated long leverage mixed with the overhanging ETH locked in 2.0 and the mtgox coins are still keeping this market down.  The support at $28K is looking more and more exhausted as it continues to be tested.  I think there's a strong likelihood that the price will retest the recent lows in the $26K range.  Hopefully that will liquidate some of the long leverage and bring the market into a healthier position to begin building support for the next wave of BTC to crash down onto it.

1x Dogecoin NASCAR pit crew shirt in XL, great shape

Open to selling or trades for loaded items, small denom's of collectible coins/chips, A&G Crypto #83 cards, and liquid BTC of course. PM me with offers.[/b]

That shirt looks pretty cool.  I'd be interested in knowing what you're looking for as far as a trade, or an asking price.  I think you're familiar with my offerings (maybe not all of them?) so if there's anything specific you're looking for, let me know.  I might also be interested in one of the cars, but I'd probably do something dumb like destroying it by engraving a private key on it and loading it with actual DOGE.   Shocked

Warriors is just a tough team to beat after all, I think they now have all the odds to be the champions once again in the NBA, they're up in the rankings once again. Those outside shootings are just impossible to contain from the Warriors, they are a different breed tbh. I think it will be Celtics vs. Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Well, they have proved it before and they did it again this year. This only means that they don't really need KD to win those championships before, KD needs them.
What the Warriors only need is being healthy 100%. Iggy wasn't even playing, he was a great addition for both offensively and defensively.
I'm glad to see them once a again on the biggest stage.
I am also expecting the Celtics to win the ECF.
They snatched out being champion without KD as I remember,, it was just purely those former team members curry,Thompson,green and now some additional which do plays well on their role even though health would be the main issue yet these fellas are really that prone to injuries just like what happen on some of them which do really reults into long time rest which did really affect overall performance of the whole team. Celtics vs Gsw for sure on last or finals.

KD though was a big help as he was clutch in the games that gave them championships and KD was the MVP. So yes, the core of Curry, Thompson and Green is still intact right now, but we should give KD his credit during his time as a Warriors.

But now that he is gone, the core is working very hard to win another ring. And with the help of Poole and Wiggins, they could be the NBA champion this year.
Yeah, its still recognizable on how KD contributes on achieving that championship but this one proves out that they arent needing anymore superstar to able to snatch out a ring once again.
Staying up with the basics plus proper execution in both offense and defense is the best recipe on winning a game.Just like that dude said above that i wasnt expecting too that they
would really be having an easy path on getting win against Mavs but so be it with having those cores then its not surprising and lets see on how they would go up against
with the finals.

The Warriors had the best record in NBA history before KD joined.  They didn't need KD, KD needed them to win a ring.  Interestingly, KD and Kyrie's old teams seem to be on the way to the Finals (Warriors & Celtics) while his new superteam was a first round exit that appears to already have been broken up once and will likely get broken up again next year.  I think Golden State will be just fine without KD...
5779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 28, 2022, 03:23:03 AM
Jimmy Butler really carried the Heat to a win tonight. I think most people were expecting the Celtics to send the Heat home but then Butler decided to put up a 40+ piece. Smart had a bad game offensively and as a defender. Not a good time for the Celtics. I think he’s still not healthy. Only explanation for why he looked so bad out there. I guess we’ll see this one go another game. I know the Warriors have to be happy about that.

I made the decision long ago to put my money into Altria stock as opposed to spending it on packs of Marlboros.  It has proven to be a smart decision.  I could only imagine how wealthy and better off certain friends of mine would be now had they made the same decision 25 years ago.  It's honestly horrible what smoking has done to the public, but I believe it was Ben Bernanke who stated he only owned one single stock, Altria.  There's a reason.
