But he is able to play in only away games which is a big problem for Nets. I hope that he stops being obstinate and takes the covid-19 jab as soon as possible.
Just in case, the team will be in Finals, they will be at a disadvantage of homecourt. If the Finals format will remained as 2-3-2, that's a good advantage for the team as Kyrie Irving will able to play on 3 straight games. But prior discussing their supposed Finals journey, there are 3 stages first that need to pass and playing without Kyrie at home is really a disadvantage for them. To worked on Kyrie's future missed games especially in the playoffs, others especially Ben Simmons should unleash their inner best. Simmons needs to cover Kyrie in terms of moving the ball and attracting defense, They've got additional scorer Curry, Dragic and Mills can do that damage while having a healthy KD, but I guess it's too early for that, they need to qualify first in the playoffs and beat each team that they'll going to face afterwards we can discuss that final with Kyrie's concerns. Simmons’ biggest asset to the nets in my opinion is his defense and rebounding. Him and KD have crazy length and the two of them on the floor at the same time are going to cause problems for offenses. Not to mention both players are matchup nightmares for opponents on the other end. Now that they have Seth Curry to shoot threes and Ben collapsing the floor, they’ve got multiple attack options outside of their former big 3. I like the trade for them and I’m curious if it’s going to work out or be an absolute disaster. We’ll have to wait a bit longer to see, but it does seem like Ben and KD will be back soon. |

As an ordinary citizen then they wouldnt really be having any choice but to deal on what their Leader do make out decisions and these things would become even more worst as the war continue.
I wont blame out about those sanction decisions or boycotting or something because this just something an ethical to be done because of those bad decisions made out.
I think the overall goal of people pushing the "2 wrongs make a right" approach is to stop money flowing into Russia. They want to hurt Russian tax deposits, destroy their economy, and inflict pain on their politicians. Unfortunately, Putin is arguably the richest person on the planet (his real wealth dwarfs Elon Musk's). There is no hurting him financially in any meaningful way. The real losers are the citizens and it's sad. I'm not sure the right approach, and I'm not against boycotts of Russian gambling platforms. I just think people should consider the consequences of their actions to everyone effected. Many Russians don't care about Ukraine and just want to live life and be happy. I'm not sure what is expected from those people... Rioting in the streets I guess... Maybe some Russian gambling platforms should come out and condemn the actions of their government? Would that then be reason to support them? Are any Russian companies doing this? |

I have to say I do not believe in what he believes, I disagree with him, I believe there should be no vaccination mandate for professional players because these are people who walk around with a doctor behind them, there is a big difference between that and regular person like me, but even in that case nobody should be punished, there could be some government outreach, but not too much, there should be a middle ground.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. You say you don't agree with him, but then you agree with him in your next statement. Is it that you think only people who can afford better medical treatment should be allowed to refuse the vaccine? That seems odd to me, since for example, children can't afford better medical care but the covid virus is basically harmless to them. Even Bill Gates came out and said those who caught Omicron have a better immune response than those who received the vaccine. So even the most liberal vaccine supporter should at least acknowledge that Kyrie has the best immune defense to covid of anyone in the NBA... The fact he's kept out of home games is ridiculous. I'm just glad that he was so vocal and stuck to his guns. He's now stronger than his peers because of it, and he set an example of just how manipulated civilians are and how much better off they'd be to think for themselves and avoid any government mandates, as they are almost never in the interest of the person being mandated. Kyrie will be playing in home games before the end of the season and hopefully someday people go to jail for what I consider to be the largest waste of resources in human history. Trillions spent, billions effected, economic disaster approaching, and it turns out everyone would be stronger today if we did nothing and let nature run it's course. This is the most obvious example of weak men creating hard times I've ever witnessed. |

Hey guys theres a news article stating that ebay might be accepting Bitcoin and other cryptos, if this happens then I believe itll be a game changer for the crypto world. Not sure how credible the article is , has anyone else heard anything similar. Also there was mention of an announcement on march 10 to confirm this. If positive, We could see a new high even in these times uncertainty .
There seemed to be a whole lot of certainty around the March 10th announcement date for a rumor. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it, or if it was just made up by someone and spread like wildfire. I guess we'll find out in 24 hours. With PayPal getting into Bitcoin though, it seems logical that eBay would follow suit in order to try and stay up to date with the latest payments technology. Whether eBay implements Bitcoin is less interesting to me than how they would implement it. Are they going to make you deposit your BTC and then use their wallet? Are they going to allow disputes and chargebacks? Will the BTC be credited as USD when you deposit it, or will it sit in your wallet as BTC? Will you be able to trade to earn income from price volatility or is it just a platform to transfer BTC to other users. All of these questions will effect whether eBay is good for crypto, or just larping. |

I try to use this strategy whenever the opportunity arises. You can do a similar strategy with options in the stock market. When it comes to gambling though, these opportunities frequently present themselves. Especially with live betting. You just have to arbitrage your bets when you see that the odds change to where it’s possible.
I also will sometimes add multiple bets if there’s a “sure thing” to make the arbitrage bets more profitable as parlays. That sort of defeats the purpose, but if it’s a sure enough bet, it can enable lots of arbitrage opportunities. Just don’t lose the sure thing.

Congrats RMC!!!! Sorry GreatDane. Definitely a fun way to do a raffle. Thanks OG for hosting it You’re welcome. I love doing stuff like this. I dropped the ball in this one though and ended up with egg on my face. I’ll try to pay better attention in the future if I do more of these. It’s honestly embarrassing to make a mistake on your own raffle so thank you to everyone for letting me slide on this. Especially GreatDane who could’ve demanded a coin for my mistake (and would’ve gotten it). Big thanks. Worthy of my trust. |

Finally a win for the Brooklyn Nets with Kyrie Irving 50 points, and Durant on the court, They beat the Hornets easily and they will improve when Ben Simmons joins them in the court as well but when will he return to the court to play with them? that's a major question right now because they keep changing the schedule, They should be added to the starting 5 because they are struggling right now and we might not see them play in the playoffs if they keep winning a few games like this.
After dealing with his mental problem, now Simmons is having a back problem. What the F is wrong with that dude? I'm thinking that he doesn't wanna play at all with his new team but... well I hope that isn't the case. Either way, it seems like its Kyrie's night as he scored 50 against the Hornets on the road. I think that the Nets team are really good when even Simmons isn't playing because they are somehow a better defensive team after the Simmons-Harden trade because of their additional players. I just hope that Simmons will play as soon as possible because many are waiting for him. Many Nets fans are waiting for him to play. The big thing for me isn’t that Kyrie scored 50, it’s that he did it on 15/19 from the field and 9/12 from the 3 point line. That sort of efficiency is incredibly impressive. I couldn’t do it with nobody guarding me… Props to Kyrie. This was probably one of the best games of his career. Also a big deal tonight… Kawhi Leonard on the floor before the Clippers game shooting warmup shots. Seems like he’ll be back and in shape in time for the playoffs. A big deal for Clippers fans for sure. |

Let’s make it happen. I’ll take the remaining spots
Cool. Let's use block# 726490 to select the loser and block# 726492 to select the winner. I think that will be most fair. That should wrap things up in a couple hours. I think you stated here that block 490 was to select the loser. That means im the loser. Thanks for destroying my hopes and dreams, lol. Just kidding. Good luck to the winner Oh shit, you are right. I forgot I switched it from last time. I should probably read what I just wrote eh. Thanks for being understanding and catching me with my foot in my mouth, or maybe on my keyboard… I stand corrected. It’s been too long since I’ve done auctions. I’ll have to do better. |

In this case it could be the first time it was used for real. However, I do not have the data for it so it is just a hunch and because I know them. They were the biggest at the time when dice websites first started out to be off-chain, before that it was satoshidice but they were on-chain and nowhere to be found now. And ever since those days, they grew bigger and bigger and bigger. Then came in Stake and they used all that information and experience into making this the biggest. Now they have partnerships with Watford, UFC, an important fighter in UFC, and now Drake as well. Maybe they are not the biggest, or maybe they are, I do not know, but they are %100 up there fighting for the top spot very clearly, even if people think they are not the biggest, nobody can deny that they veeeery close to it. This is all in "crypto casino" world of course, there are real life casinos with tens of billions of dollars in profit, thats not what I am talking about. I don't have any doubt about the "Biggest". Yes, Stake is the Biggest Online casino. I don't think any other casino is even close to them in terms of size/big. I don't know about the offline casinos because they have a lot of branches. Even though offline casino has a lot of branches, IDK if they have 15K Customers all the time. The stake has 15K Online, At least 10K online all the time. So, I think they are the biggest Online/offline casino. No? Beat me, guys. About The "Best". I don't think so. There are a lot of casinos that provide better service than Stake. But, They are not much famous. People always follow trends and in the casino industry Stake is a Trend. I hope stake will improve their service as much as they getting bigger than ever. I have no idea who the "biggest" is or what metric would be used to determine such a thing... Revenue, profits, players, amount gambled, who knows? What I do know is that I have yet to see a celebrity endorsement for an online gambling platform that was bigger than Drake. He's even giving bitcoins away to friends who he wants to see have success going forward. Just those giveaways are bringing attention to crypto, let alone the fact that he's now actively promoting Stake. I think a lot of Drake fans are fans of his moneymaking skills, and are likely to follow his money making ventures, even if they're gambling on Stake. I'd be curious what the actual impact of users has been since the Super Bowl and if Stake considers it a success or not. Might be useful to other companies looking at celebrity endorsements. |

As today is a day to celebrate the fairer sex (International Women's Day) and their social, economic, cultural and political achievements... I have to wonder if there are any females in our community selling crypto collectibles? Maybe today would be a good day to show them some support and pick up some of their goods. I personally know of a few women in this community that collect goods, but I don't believe I'm aware of any that are having goods manufactured for their brands here. I'd love to be enlightened and do my part to support their inclusion in the community.
I also understand that women in crypto deal with a lot of crap (I definitely understand that) and may not want to be "outed" as female, so please do not share anyone's sex without their approval first. Thank you!

The highest price I was able to sell anything at was $57K as we started heading downward. I sure hope that wasn't the best sale I'll ever get. I'd like to at least sell a little over $100K (but it would be nice to sell a lot at $200K). Here's hoping all the financial wizards on Wall Street are able to take over where genuine innovation and engagement left off. I think many of us would like to see a massive bubble, just so we can move on to other things without feeling like we left a bag on the table. It seems clear at least from the community level, that Bitcoin has been losing supporters that helped carry the project here, while coveting support from people like Michael Saylor. It's sad, but so long as we see new highs in the next year, I'll send Michael Saylor a thank you card myself.

What's everyone's take on the Russell Westbrook "Westbrick" controversy? Even Magic Johnson has weighed in today saying that Lakers fans need to be better. It's pretty crazy to think that the fans of an organization might seriously effect future players' decisions whether or not they want to join the team. Lakers fans have been pretty rough on Russ this year. As if his athletic decline hasn't been bad enough, hearing about it every time he steps on the floor must be horrible for him and his family.
Do you think future free agents will think twice about joining the Lakers after this?
Do you think Magic Johnson is a hypocrite for saying over the weekend that the Westbrook trade might go down in history as the worst Lakers trade ever, and then today telling fans to take it easy on him?
Westbrook really does need to focus on his shooting. As athletic a player as he is, as he gets older he's going to have to develop into more of a Carmelo Anthony rebounding and set shooter type of player if he wants to get another contract.

Is this a good offer? I see a mini RTX 3060 LHR with a single fan for 560$ in a store very close to my home but online price for this GPU are higher than this but single fan? I've never seen a mining rig built with single fan GPUs before.
Considering it's the LHR model, I wouldn't worry too much about heat or the single fan. That thing will never hash fast enough to overheat anyway in normal circumstances. I also think you'll probably regret paying $500 for that GPU right now. It will likely take you several years to make that back with a LHR model even if you have cheap electricity. If you're in someplace like California, you have absolutely no chance of ever paying that off. Maybe consider buying the crypto you want now instead of a GPU? Waiting until this reseller madness is over might be the smart move. Especially when the next generation of GPUs is right around the corner and I'd think eventually the politicians will get the supply chain nonsense figured out... Seems like a bad time to purchase a GPU unless you need the heat, in which case a LHR model isn't a good choice. |

I understand, though I do not agree, why neither America nor Europe is sending troops to help Ukraine. I can even understand why they do not cover the sky (Putin has already stated that he would regard any such attempt as entering the war). However, I can't understand why we won't be given planes and more air defense systems. Nor can I understand why the UN cannot send peacekeepers to separate the Armed Forces of the warring parties and thus create favorable conditions for diplomatic negotiations to end this conflict. It seems that this organization was created for such events. And now they are doing nothing but expressing "concern".
Today I read that Poland is going to give 29 their fighter jets to USA and USA is going to give them to Ukraine. Also, more than 20 000 foreign troops is going to defend Ukraine in International legion. Though, today I read on telegram that there are 40 000 foreign troops, but I don't know how reliable these numbers. And you're right that these organizations like UN can't do something more than say that they're concerned. OSCE monitoring mission already left Ukraine. From what I'm reading the politicians don't even know what's going on with those fighter planes. I don't know if they're acting stupid as to throw off their enemies, or if our government is really this much of a clueless shit show, but I'd prefer to think it's the former. Unfortunately, decades of watching politicians be clueless leads me to believe that may our government (United States) is really so out of touch and disorganized that they really have no clue what deals they're making and for what... I wish I had more confidence, but it's almost like the people in charge are purposely doing stupid things to increase prices and put a fire to the feet of the middle class. I guess too many entrepreneurs are finding success these days and the government needs to put some pain on it's citizens with inflation to bring them back in line of needing to be taken care of. The next couple of years are going to be a government induced shit show. Please don't refinance your homes or take on unnecessary debt right now. Your future self with thank you. As for how long Ukraine can survive... As long as Russia allows them to. They are clearly outmatched. It's just a question of how far Russia is willing to go. |

Betting against the Lakers has been pretty good this year... Now with Westbrook complaining about the fans disrespecting him, you can bet that they'll be hearing chants of Westbrick at away games for the rest of the season. I imagine this is going to be more bad news for a team that has been stockpiling it this year. This is the sort of thing that causes massive rifts in the clubhouse and will likely doom their chances at making a title run. Not to mention Westbrook is as good as out of LA as soon as the season ends. Sad, because he was a great player but players that rely on their athleticism have the darkest endings to their careers. I hope Russell can get it figured out and tune out the naysayers, but at this point I think he's probably making it worse on himself. Betting the Lakers to lose away games might be a good play for a while...

Philadelphia 76ers v Chicago Bulls is really like a playoff game. Each one of them is doing an amazing job in this season. And my expectation level from each of them is quite high truthfully. Especially 76ers are really promising for the playoffs and even the title. I also believe that Harden has made a huge contribution to the team already now. The Harden - Embiid duo is going to be really great in the playoffs too hopefully. And when it comes to this game, I believe in 76ers to destroy their competitor.
Right now the 76ers have all the advantages because they will try to win this game since they lost their last game without James Harden. now he is playing again and has 11 points in halftime. As the Bulls are struggling today, they continue to catch up not letting the lead reach up to double-digit at the end of the first half. Anything can happen in the last 24 minutes of the game I hope it would be a last-minute battle between these two current heavyweight teams.  Rough game for the Bulls, dropping their fifth straight game. However it wasn’t really a fair matchup. The Bulls were missing three starters, Vucevic, Ball, and Patrick Williams. Also still have Alex Caruso out. So they were down four of their best players and 3 starters, so not really a fair fight. The sixers are a damn good team though, but I can’t wait to see the Bulls play them when healthy. Definitely was not fair because the Bulls is heavily undermanned compared to the Sixers, but yeah we can't deny that Sixers now is a good tough team and they deserve the spot they have now. While the Bulls have dropped so deep now, they need survive the upcoming games without getting into the 7th spot to avoid playing more games in the play-in tournament. Caruso is likely to play this week though, he is now getting his clearance to play from the doctor while Ball and Vucevic is expected to be out in a week or two. I saw a statistic that the Bulls haven't beaten a top ranked team all year long. I was shocked by that because they've been having a great season. It is extremely concerning though that this team can't beat good teams. Sure, they've had some injury issues lately, but that shouldn't keep them from beating a single good team one time. I'd hate to see this team make a first round playoff exit, but that is a damning statistic. Hopefully everyone comes back healthy and strong, ready to make a push higher in the rankings. They were my favorites to reach the eastern finals a few weeks ago, but I'll admit after seeing that statistic I have my doubts as to whether they'll make it out of the first round. |

Cool. Let's use block# 726490 to select the loser and block# 726492 to select the winner. I think that will be most fair. That should wrap things up in a couple hours. |
