I heard on the news that this Black Friday and Cyber Monday were the largest online shopping days ever. I believe it said that, or at least the largest it's ever been for these two days. It's kind of sad to see the brick and mortar locations all closing down and everything becoming purely virtual (but also thanks to thieves ransacking stores in mobs).
Anyways, you have to be careful as some of these companies put things on "black friday" sale but were really just the same sale that it was on already before. Companies getting shady.

I can't believe my Chicago Bulls beat the Celtics last night. I was halfway watching, as I was also watching the Thursday night NFL football game, and had forgotten to check back in on the game and all of a sudden the final score pops up on my TV (I've got an alerts thing on my tv) that showed 120-113.. I was shocked to say the least. No Lavine either is whats crazy.
Lavine is now out for a week. Some speculate it might be so he doesn't risk injury and that his trade is immanent. What do you guys think?
Glad I didn't put money down on that bulls game!

I agree with you, pretty much. Whenever I watch some liberal media or new channel what they do to keep their voters stuck to the democrat party is to fearmonger about the possibility of Trump having a second term next year. They talk for much of their programs about the surge of white supremacy, the Trump trials and the trials of his former associates. I don't think there is something wrong about talking about those things, but they rarely talk on the legislation the Democrat party is going to take in order to talke those problems you mentioned, specially the crime surge in the United States, last night I saw a report on how criminals are targeting delivery trucks nations wide and mobs are flash-robbing stores.
At this point it would be refreshing to listen to Democrats plan to deal with all of that. If they don't, Trump will increase his chances, as he is not afraid of pushing against robbery.
Minorities want jobs and good economy. Fearmongering is not going to help. One area where the Biden administration has failed is to control the crime rate. Crime rates have gone up in inner city areas and this has forced businesses to move to the suburbs which are better guarded by the police. As a result, a lot of people have lost their jobs. Only section of the society who have remained loyal to the Democrat Party are wealthy white liberals, who live in gated communities in their colossal bungalows, away from the immigrant influx and crime. Yeah, I agree there is much hypocrisy and problems within the democrat party, it would be easier for the Republican party to win over the Democrat party if they did not choose Trump as their leader and current head of the party. If the Republican party remained as it used to be back in the 2000s or mid 2010, when their politics were about conservatism instead of the ideas of Trump, then the Democrat party would be in trouble, facing a more coherent and moderate republican party. The same thing goes for the Democratic party. Joe Biden may be more well liked within that party than Trump is in his party (the Republicans), but there's still a lot of Americans who can't stand either President (myself included). Because our politics are insanely corrupt and ran by morons, there looks to be no doubt these two are the choices once again. smh As for voting, I just have no clue how this thing is going to go. I thought Clinton was going to smoke Trump and bet on her, and where did that get me. |

As many others have mentioned, Electrum seem to be the most popular purely digital based wallet. I've used it in conjunction with my hardware wallets as well, though for me the easiest /safest strategy is simply using a Trezor hardware wallet. I know ColdCards are quite popular as well if you're looking for a bitcoin only type of wallet.
Also, I like the Trezor T model best. It's got a nice little touchscreen on it.

Ok guys I changed the poll. Our new question is first team to get 20 wins. Which team do you think will achieve it?
Right now Celtics is leading with 14 wins, they only need 6 more. Magic and Bucks from the East, Timberwolves and Nuggets in the West have 13 wins each. Very close race is going on right now.
I haven't look ahead at everyone in the lists schedule going forward, of course that would be the best way to go about deciding your answer for this question, but I would lean Boston not only because they have the most wins currently, but also because I just feel that they might be the most well rounded team in the NBA right now. I like the Buck chances probably second most. |

This has been touched on here before, and my answer to this is it depends on what exactly the "AI" is figuring out. If it's helping decide matches based on quickly crunching numbers, I guess I could use it as a guide, or something to "bounce" my ideas off of, but in the end todays "AI" isnt real AI (AGI), so until that comes to fruition, I'm likely not going to be using it to help me at all.

I bet sports for a few different reasons. First off I am a huge sports fan, and so I know the games pretty well which I bet on. I mainly bet on NFL football because that's my favorite sport/the sport I'm most knowledgeable about. I feel that I've got a better shot betting sports than playing most casino games. I also don't trust the outcomes of a lot of casino games if I'm being honest. With sports, the outcome is clear and there's no cheating the gambling house can do.

It's pretty clear that your native tongue is not English, so I'm assuming you're not a United States or Canadian citizen. I live here in the United States. I can tell you that there's really nothing backing up your claim that kids of rich parents are the ones that go poor. Honestly, it's typically the opposite. There's really no data to back up these claims, unless I'm not seeing something that you are? I just can't agree with you at all. It's simply not true (overall...of course it happens).

As a collector of physical bitcoin/cryptocurrency items (coins, pins, shirts etc) I have quite a few bitcoin shirts, but I never wear them. I don't wear them basically for the reason you presented. I don't like to advertise what I have financially wise. Yes, if you're in the wrong place and the right time, or have someone near you with nefarious ways, I think it's definitely something to worry about. Better safe than sorry.

For me it's all about the dollar amount ( or bitcoin amount, technically ) and not a percentage, so I'm not sure where I stand percentage wise. I typically have a set amount that I'm willing to gamble on each game. If I feel confident I typically bet $25 worth of bitcoin. If I'm very confident I tend to bet anywhere from $50-100 in bitcoin. I feel you, I don't take a ton or risk and it's much less stressful. I don't have huge upside, but I'm okay with that.

But yeah, what an UGLY game last night. Both offenses looked horrid. Also sucks as a Bears fan being that it was a meaningless game, all that win did was put us in position for a worse draft pick next year.
As a fan what you say makes sense, but I get the feeling that everyone on the Bears is either playing or coaching for their jobs so they care nothing at the moment about draft picks, without a doubt Eberflus is a goner at the end of the season, but what to do with Justin Fields? The kid has massive talent but it does not translate into wins, if the Bears get the first overall pick on the next draft it could make sense to take their chances with a rookie QB and trade Fields to another team. Another bad news for the Bears was the Panthers firing Frank Reich, I am sure that if the Panthers owned their first round pick they would have left Reich finish the season and tank discretely, but since that pick now belongs to the Bears they have no intention to keep losing without at least trying to get the best out of Bryce Young. And the ones benefiting from all of this are the Patriots and the Cardinals, after I took a look at their schedules the easiest by far is the one belonging to the Panthers and they could get a win or two, while both the Patriots and the Cardinals have way more difficult matches ahead and it would not surprise me if both teams did not win a single one of their remaining games. Congrats on the win in our match, it ended up being closer than I thought but you pulled a great win especially with all the injuries your players have suffered. next week they are playing against the lousy manager of the Cows.
Next week is the B-team week, as in "bye bye" playoffs because half of my team is on vacation... unless cows got it worse, which I haven't looked at but kinda doubt it. Edit: LOL I take it back, you got 4 byes too. Welp this gonna be fun. And you picked up Diontae. Good thing I didn't drop McBride...  Just noticed this, not only I have 4 players in a BYE, all of them are starters, 2 WR, TE and a K. LOL, I am about to get rekt.  Yeah of course the players and coaches are trying to win. But from an organizational standpoint, as well as for the fans..it was a horrible win. Fields does have a ton of talent, and with the right coaches I belive he can be a solid player, but I'm just not sure he's the franchise QB we hoped he would be. You're righ though, if we do get one of the top two QBs being dicussed so heavily, then Fields should definitely have some decent trade value. Definitely a tight game between us last week. Was a fun one! |

Whether you're referring to American Football or European football (or soccer as we call it) I think both sports are the most popular because they are so high paced and action packed. Soccer/football is certainly the most popular sport on the planet, but here in the United States NFL football is by far the most popular sports. Many reasons..including so few game (only 17 per team), high paced, hard hits, etc etc. It's also very easy to place bets as well as fantasy football being a huge deal.

Well there's certainly a reason why we don't come across positive economic news all that often, and that's because sadly drama sells! News outlets know that the more dramatic they make headlines, that more people will be enticed to read it.
I've certainly seen positive economic news of late..lower inflation, better job reports etc. But, again, still plenty of negative economic data out there but justifiable and not.

When it comes to economic situations, saving money is certainly key to your economic outlook..and I personally take full advantage of Black Friday as well as Cyber Monday. Typically the sales deals last from Friday through Monday, which is nice. I start a list several months out from this time period as I know I will be able to get a lot things for much less. I spent a few hundred this year, but I definitely saved a good amount of money as well.
I definitely did stay away from the fake "deals", like Target for example made fake Black Friday sign, where the products didn't actually get any discount. Shady stuff.

I'm sure glad I didn't place any bets on the Lakers last night, even though I was considering it..good lord that was pretty embarrassing. The sixers are a great team and all, but man.
I didn't place any bets last night but I think I'm going to tonight..the celtics are -13.5 against the Bulls. My Bulls are terrible, and I think the Celtics will easily blow past that spread. I don't normally like spreads that are over 10, but this seems solid.

I guess I could agree that gambling is better off done by "rich people", but I absolutely disagree that it's 'only" for rich people and those whom seem to get lucky often.
If you have a game-plan, and don't spend beyond your limits, there's nothing wrong with betting a little bit of money. If that's fun for someone, and it doesn't effect their financial status, then why not.

Interesting developments in the FF league this weekend; The big battle at the top of the standings was between the Barbarians and the Coiners, leaving the Coiners to fend off the remaining field in a battle for 4th place. And it appears that ChiBitCTy lives to fight another day. Nothing will be official until tonight, of course, but it looks like both the Bowlers and TwentiWan are dropping to 6-6, and ChiBitCTy improves to 6-6.
If this holds, that means no challenger for the fourth playoff spot will be able to finish with a record better than 9-6, and that means the Potatoes will clinch a spot in the playoffs. The Barbarians and the Brewers each need one more win to clinch. For the Coiners to clinch they'll need two wins, or one win and one loss for all the 6-6 teams.
Technically, the teams that finish 5-7 after this week still have a hope, but it's slim.
I pulled off 3 tight wins last night, and came close to losing them after that crazy game. I'm 6-6 in 3 of my 6 fantasy leagues. Problem is I had Burrow and Chubb in those other leagues too. Need to diversify a bit more next year I suppose. But yeah, what an UGLY game last night. Both offenses looked horrid. Also sucks as a Bears fan being that it was a meaningless game, all that win did was put us in position for a worse draft pick next year. |

I’ve seen a lot of hardware wallets like this. Anyone would be insane to trust them. As a collectible to never be plugged in to a computer, sure why not. I’ve bought a few over the years. Mainly in my earlier btc days though when there weren’t many wallets. But yeah the fact that there’s no website tells you everything. |

He is set to return this week! Read a quote from McVay saying Kyren won't be on snap count or anything and the last time he faced the Cards he went off for 20/158/1.
 I’ve got him in one of my leagues. So happy to have him back. I hope he returns to his exact form before getting hurt, he was absolutely killing it. Tough slate of games today when it comes to betting. Lot of close spreads between teams that both suck, so really hard to make these calls. I like: Minnesota Vikings -3 vs Chicago Bears Philadelphia Eagles -3 vs Buffalo Bill Baltimore Ravens -3 vs San Diego Chargers |
