I think I forgot to consider that the Cavs are in the Eastern Conference so my bad.  Cheesy Cheesy This is just my opinion but seventh or eight seed is possible for them since Eastern Conference players are not that good compare to Western Conference. Yeah I think they can compete with other eastern teams and I believe that Coach Ty will adjust his coaching style now that Lebron is gone into his team. If they want to clinch into the playoffs, they must step up on every game.

And I believed Tyronn Lue will now be a Tyronn Lue meaning no pressure at him to do plays and rotation because he will not overthink now of what things he should do unlike when LeBron James is on team where he needs to put LeBron on more playing time.



One of my all-time favorite player Vince Carter will play one more season. He signed with the Atlanta Hawks for a 1-year deal. Damn that his 21st season now and he's turning 42 next year. Looks like he's getting more money  (although not that muc) before retirement even he have a chance to be signed on one of a championship caliber team in the league.  Cool

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/24194157/atlanta-hawks-add-vince-carter-21st-season

Oh yeah forgot about that. Tyronn Lue doing a great job even with all the trade that happened.
Without Lebron their plays will be not the same.
He will be tested as a coach omce again. Is he really good like how he did the chemistry of this guys at mid season trades.

There will be critics looking at him if he makes it to the top 8. If not, that will be a problem. People might think it is just really Lebron who have been pulling them up.
7082  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you still believe in btc price predictions? on: July 26, 2018, 09:59:00 PM
I made my own and never shared it.
Why? To avoid the bashing that may happen afterwards. I have seen a lot of predictions here in this forum already and I guess that is enough reason for me not to share my own.

Do it yourself and dream that it will come true. Right or wrong you did not hurt anybody.
In fact, you helped making this forum clean with the same question over and over.
7083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: July 26, 2018, 08:25:55 PM

Lets see how Love will play in this upcoming season. I don't think he will be the same Kevin Love as he is in the Timberwolves but he needs to step up on every game now that he is the lone all star player in the Cavs. I wish they will get another underdog player. We will see how Love and the Cavs play in the season but I don't think they can clinch unto the playoffs right now.

With just the dissappearance of LeBron James they can't clinched a playoffs now? Remember they are on Eastern Conference. Smiley Their lineup is still intact and no major changes at all. Still one of the competitive team in the East so even on 8th spot they can make it.

Yes and besides they will be playing with young players in other teams of the West so they could win games using their experiences which are really high specially Kevin Love.
These guys are still NBA players so you cannot just shut them down just because Lebron is not there anymore.


Btw, there's another thread for this season --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4744820.0

They must PM the OP of this thread to locked this one so that we can stick to one discussion. He is active. And besides I can't see the OP of that new thread joining NBA discussions regularly.


It is just the Title that they change. OP of this one could change the title also just so to be updated.
Why does someone else wants to own one thread if he doesnt know anything about it.  Grin
7084  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin Taxation: Major Challenge on: July 26, 2018, 07:22:58 PM
Bitcoin is now considered by the government as a property, not an income . This is the reason why they want to put taxes. I guess it is fair enough for those who earned hundreds of thousands here in the crypto world. But for those who are just starting to earn, the government should not. Still, I am in favor of the taxation. But the government should also consider the status of the bitcoin's market price.
I can say that I am a little bit afraid of that because my country is one of those who can put an enormous taxation on the income that I get, if they will do this personal percentage tax, this would be awful. Somebody would not afford that.

Yes.
Tax and transaction fee. That would really be itchy if you convert it to your own currency.

Then the widespread acceptance of bitcoin will again be slowed down. People looking forward to that will again be in dismay and would regret that they bought bitcoin. Again a panic sell could happen that could bring the value down.

Don't want this to happen so maybe they should stop the taxation and let it be. Besides, miners are already paying a lot of money for their electric bills and they are getting a lot of money from that.
7085  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: best coin for long term investing on: July 26, 2018, 01:02:03 PM
Any coin or token can be possible for this kind of investment. Mostly they take a long time before you can see profit.

I do prefer looking at the technology or project for their output. If you think its market is going to explode more in the future then pick that one. Just be sure it is a legitimate one. 2 to 3 years should be enough for holding. That way their roadmap is already done.
7086  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to make bitcoin a popular payment method? on: July 25, 2018, 11:03:10 PM
It will happen. That is my opinion.
Somehow people will have to go with it.

Advertisements help bitcoin be known and it should reach even the smallest merchant there could be.
With the growth of number of merchants then we might be seeing a better kind of payment method. Faster and more secure.
There are still people who cling with the traditional way. It will change in the coming years.
7087  Economy / Economics / Re: The dollar affects Bitcoin? on: July 25, 2018, 09:13:16 PM
Yes it does affect the price of bitcoin since they are in the same bracket.

But when you get deeper this is what shouldve happened.
USD value increase. Bitcoin exchange with USD should have went down.
Why are we seeing an increase of price in bitcoin?

They affect each other but still having their own market that makes them more valuable in this economy.
7088  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin Taxation: Major Challenge on: July 25, 2018, 08:33:27 PM
Then why not just buy a property and let them tax you until you deplete the money that you have?

I am still against it. Let bitcoin be. They are just doing this for their own purpose and it is clear that there is no way they can make taxes from it?
New and old? How will you know that someone is just new to it? I can always say that once my bitcoin address is question or I could just mix it while sending to another wallet.
7089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: July 25, 2018, 12:07:05 PM
Lets stop that Melo thing for now because many know that he doesn't fit there (just joking)  Cheesy Cheesy

Lets talk about Kevin Love signing a 4 year 120 million extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst and Cleveland.com's Joe Vardon report the Cavs have signed Kevin Love to a four-year, $120 million extension.

The team officially announced the move on Tuesday afternoon as Love signed the contract at Quicken Loans Arena in front of Cavs front-office officials and construction crews working on renovating the arena.

http://www.nba.com/article/2018/07/24/report-kevin-love-signs-four-year-120-million-extension-cleveland-cavaliers?collection=news

Now that Love is the remaining all-star in the Cavs, what will be the future of the team. Can he seek help from his teammates. I wish what Lebron did last season will not happen to Love next season.

And still they cannot stop with the Melo thing. Grin

I am really sad for Kevin Love. He had been a good player ever since Minnesota. His contribution made a lot of impact and making him one of the best player of the league. Double double every game and for most of times rebounds are larger than points.

He really needs a good break and get a superstar that will lift up the Cleveland team.
Like how this guy is so patient and being a real sportsman.
7090  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto replacing fiat? on: July 24, 2018, 11:11:55 PM
It seems unlikely that such a scenario will take place. I don't think governments will allow such a structure that they can't control, they can make their own digital currency in future, but that's gonna be much different from current fiat currencies.

No, actually it could be the same or they could stay with the credit and debit card system. Just a card and no papers.
This will be a problem with the poor side though.
They will be forced to have an account in the bank and deposit some money if they need to transact something.

If digital currency is what they will create then it might just be the same as fiat. Just made it online. Same as USDT, something like that.
7091  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TAKE ON BITCOIN : TO OWN BITCOIN OR MORE ALTCOINS?? on: July 24, 2018, 09:16:08 PM
Yeah that is funny how you ended up with altcoins first. I guess that will happen now since it is getting harder to get a bitcoin for the expensive price

That is already the clue to why better get some of it.
It is getting harder. Demands will come up and soon price will shoot up also without us even noticing it.

You are lucky because I think of this time as still an early stage. Get it while you can, while it last, while it is still available in the market. Soon a large portion will be kept for a long time.
7092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: MyEtherWallet has added a new feature! on: July 24, 2018, 07:55:49 PM
Cool.
Now it gets easier.

ETH have been traded more frequently than other tokens or coins. Buying ICO tokens are really exploding and this will be an easy way since Mastercard and Visa are international.
Great news and thanks for sharing this information.  Grin I will pass it on to some of my trader friends.  Grin
7093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: July 24, 2018, 04:33:45 PM
I guess that should be enough for Melo by now.

How about the change in rules of the NBA.
Someone is looking to take it back to 2-3-2 rule to save travel funds and also the impact to the players being dosed by airsickness.

Another is about the top 16 seeding regardless of what conference they are. When could this be implemented?
We know there are good teams in the West that had a good standing like Denver Nuggets who struggle to get that 8th rank in the Western playoffs and yet failed.
But if this is implemented then they could get a chance. Eastern teams have bad standing in 2018.

https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2018/7/24/17606678/lebron-james-lakers-nba-playoffs-conference-imbalance-gmib

Nuggets should have been at rank 14 that time out of 16 overall.

This could also be a chance to watch greater games even in the season. It will look like the playoffs every game.  Cheesy
7094  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The market is so positive (100% HODL) on: July 24, 2018, 01:00:22 PM
Good prediction.
Listed all the positive things that could happen and it is working out well by now.

+2000 USD now since this posts and the bull market cannot be stopped by now.
I am just worried with other currencies and it seems like they are still in bear mode.

Could also be a good thing if they will sell it for bitcoin.
7095  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto replacing fiat? on: July 23, 2018, 11:35:20 PM
I believe it could happen.
We just do not see it now for the clouds are too thick to see the future.
We are still blinded by the traditional way and it seems it will go on for years or maybe a decade.

Now, okay there is a chance they could view one of your address but unless you claim it is yours then how they will know who is the owner.

If they did then it is your fault. You could send it to another address. But use mixers before that.
7096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: July 23, 2018, 05:13:40 PM
Carmelo Anthony doesn't have to come off the bench, he also doesn't have to learn to adapt the houston rockets game. Even the worst case scenario of melo doing whatever melo normally does, that still works for rockets. Right now they do not have the wings they had last year. Which means they need proper wings, they need someone who can strecth the floor somehow. They lost last year on the western conference finals with 27 threes missed in a row, I doubt melo could be any worse, he has worse defense than ariza for sure but considering they already lost ariza, they have no other choice than sign him.

Actually their offense is the most stretched. It is even wider that the GSW play.

Gordon, Harden, CP3 are scary with their 3 point percentage. Add Tucker which had been also good with his three's.
It is just Capella which is always on the inside.

 Melo might fit in the 2nd team. If you see how they played in the Finals of the West where it is like 8 players which are rotating in the game. Minus 1 when CP3 got injured. They need that back up team. It doesnt mean he is not really needed. It is just that his ego might get in the way.


I think Carmelo Anthony has always been overrated due to not being much of a defensive player.  He's good for the Rockets system because they are a high powered offense.  The problem with being a three point shooting team is that you live and die by the three.

He is really a great player. But that was before. Unlike Lebron who keeps his game aggressive with his agility and power. Melo do not have that anymore. He is starting to get a really big body but cannot get that agility that is needed for a small forward or even the forward position.

Houston plays with speed. That is how D'Antoni plays are made. If you see games of Phoenix and Knicks, all are made with small players that could do fast breaks. That is why they dont use much of their centers.
7097  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie trader on: July 23, 2018, 03:59:49 PM
There is no such thing as tricks in there.
It will be a good guess of where the price will be. A dump means you could buy more for a cheaper price. And a pump could be the price you have been waiting for to sell. It could also be the other way around. But you will be like one of those panic sellers who are selling at a price dump fearing it will go to zero.

Hard to predict everything here. You cannot tell where the price goes. Even if someone gives you some tips here you cannot just believe them for they are also just guessing where the price could go. They may be wrong or right.
7098  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why did the government want to kill Bitcoin? on: July 23, 2018, 12:46:18 PM
personally, the government want to kill Bitcoin because they want to control Bitcoin like other currency  but Bitcoin is called digital currency, so they can not control it

I can create a digital currency and control it.
It is not just because of that.
It is in the blockchain so there is no such thing as an owner. Satoshi might have also left the internet world because it could be all blamed to him. So he erased his existence.

Now, because of the freedom of people with taxes using bitcoin that is why bitcoin is being banned.
We know taxes is what pays government employees so without it they will get nothing.
7099  Economy / Economics / Re: WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN? on: July 23, 2018, 01:18:44 AM
It is a good thing if you are one of the early birds. But I dont think that is for holding a lot of time.
That is one problem with projects that had airdrops. They tend to fall because of the dump that will happen.

Just buy and sell it if you wee a profit incoming. It is not for real investment. You will just get broke afterwards. Or just go to the reliable one. Bitcoin.
7100  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach 10k$ at this time? on: July 22, 2018, 10:35:24 PM
Rooting for that price again.
Looks like bitcoin had been forgotten again and it needs a pump like that for people to see the truth.

I know bitcoin value will rise in the future but it might really need it now just so to boost the other users trust with it.
Going to altcoins have been helping with the dump and it is not good.
