I'm not sure spending money on advertising here is the way to go for such a small operation.  I assumed the intent of this channel was to reach a new audience and bring them to our playground.  Considering it's basically a promotional tool for the forum, maybe considering asking for something like a grant and free advertising from bitcointalk would be a better approach.

I also wouldn't mind donating a little something to the cause if they were giving away items to viewers of the channel.  Maybe some silver and/or NFTs.  Hell, I'd go as far as to do the coding for an NFT project if you wanted to give away your own NFTs.  Although maybe it would be best to wait for Bitcoin's infrastructure to catch up on that front before doing so.

The Bulls definitely had the best offseason of any team in the NBA.  I really like the young talent they have and Derozan has been playing better than I can remember him ever playing...  I think they're right up there with the Bucks as a second tier eastern team behind the Nets.

All eyes on the Warriors vs Nets game tonight though.  There is also a giveaway going on for this game on Twitter where you can guess the final score and the closest wins a free NFT.  Not a bad way to get your foot in the NFT door.

Looking at tomorrow’s games I see that the Warriors are facing off against the Nets on TNT. I’m going to have to watch that one. A shame that they’ll be missing a little bit of star power with no Klay yet and Kyrie still not having figured out how to get back on the court. Says something about both teams that they’re still full of all stars.

That Bulls vs Lakers game looked like one hell of a game. Lonzo shot the lights out with one of his best games and Derozan was unstoppable. The Lakers again looked average and just couldn’t compete with the Bulls shooting as everything was going in for them. Nice to see a moment between LeBron and Caruso, but Lakers fans definitely are ready to see the King back on the floor.

Apple getting into crypto seems a little bit inevitable at this point. I’m just curious how they will implement it in their wallet app. If they implemented a decent lightning experience it could be enough to get me to give it a shot. Even announcing accepting it for their phones and computers would be pretty massive news. I think Tim Cook would likely wait at least a quarter after announcing his investment before doing implementing something like that.

Looking like it’s taking a double dip now. I imagine quite a bit of leverage is getting wrung from the system as we speak. Hopefully we don’t see it dip too far into the 50s or things might start sending people into panic mode. I don’t think we’re there yet though. Less than 20% is barely even a correction in Bitcoinland. 

Still beats the deal you made with Slickage.

Good luck with that. Every project on this forum gets labeled as a scam by some lunatic regardless of if it is true or not. Not to mention that the most paid advertising on this forum is done by a company that’s main usage is for scammers to launder their stolen funds. It’s hard to blame them for taking the not moderating scams position though. At one point in time it would have been a massive amount of effort to look into all the projects being developed on this forum. Not so much anymore.

Bulls vs Lakers should be a good one tonight. I unfortunately won’t be able to watch, but I’ll be awaiting the highlight reel. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I love it whenever these two teams match up against each other. With how hot the Bulls have been lately I think the Lakers have their hands full, but they should be getting LeBron back soon so hopefully they are ready to switch gears and go on a winning streak. I think the Bulls might get them tonight though.

We seem to have reached the point where it’s time for Bitcoin to shock the world again. Everyone seems to be calling for a 50% rise in the next 2 weeks. I’m here for it and so are my coins. I’m a little worried that so many people are expecting the same thing. I hope it’s a think into existence scenario and not a maximum market pain scenario.

How do I feel about it? I guess appreciative that someone is taking the time to document all these articles for the forum.

It seems like it’s being done that way so that if people want to search for specific articles or dates they can easily. Just a guess. I have no idea what the motivation is.

I haven’t read many articles from that section. The only time I ever end up there is when I’m searching for something specific.

Playing Devil’s advocate… All the posts seem to have legitimate content and seem to be providing some sort of value to the forum as well as being in the appropriate section. I’m not sure what the complaint is after reading the heavily merited OP. That people are providing too many news articles? I could see if you were posting legitimate news links and then someone blindly posted the same subject, but if the press links are legitimate and not duplicates, should we not be thanking the people posting them?

Steph Curry had an off night. It happens. I think the young guys gave him a little bit of trouble. Wiggins played well though and has shown a lot of improvement since joining the Warriors. Last year you saw it in his defense but this year you’re really seeing him get more comfortable with the ball and taking over the offense. I can’t wait to see what this team looks like when Wiseman and Thompson come back.

You sort of do… You see old ladies with hundreds of thousands of dollars in jewelry on their fingers. These things would be much easier to steal than someone’s crypto who has taken appropriate precautions in my opinion, but you rarely hear about these types of thefts… I’m not saying you should run around screaming you’re rich, but I don’t think people should fear wearing a Bitcoin shirt. Maybe a lot of this depends on where you live. Some neighborhoods it isn’t safe to have $50, where other places you could leave a Lamborghini running unattended without fear.

Your privacy isn't something that the forum worries about.  You have to remember you're the product here, not the customer.  Your activity will be displayed in the way that will most benefit the forum, not you.  Not the way I think it should be, but any other answer would just be wrong.  People can even go as far as to dox you and make up stories to try and have you targeted by police agencies or vigilantes without any recourse.  It's sad, but it all comes back to us being the product and not the customer.  There was once a time when that wasn't the case, but those days are long gone.

It was great seeing Steph Curry become the all time leader in made 3 pointers.  I think everyone has considered him the best long range shooter that basketball has ever seen for quite some time now, but seeing him begin extending his gap over #2 Ray Allen in the record books is something else.  He's still relatively young to be the all time leader in anything.  I have a feeling he's going to be smashing that record into pieces before he's done...  Imagine having 5+ years to just extend an all time record...  Amazing accomplishment.

Which Call of Duty?  Cold War or Vanguard?  I've been playing a bit of multiplayer on Vanguard but where I really get enjoyment is the Outbreak Zombie map on Cold War.  I have a group of friends that plays this a couple times a week and it's a great time...  While my multiplayer skills might leave a little something to be desired, I look forward to the day when the zombie experience opens up to more simultaneous players at a time that could enable some sort of tournament. 

One thing that has been extremely disappointing to me about the crypto market is how long it's taking to get things like NFTs into games and allow betting with cryptocurrencies.  It's such an obvious next level partnership that will change the world, yet instead of Call of Duty allowing for betting with Bitcoin, the best we have is clunky metaverses with roblox style gaming.  I'm happy to see any progress, but the big boys of development really need to step in and take the reigns.  The best developers in the world still think Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are a fad, but I do feel like that is starting to change this cycle.

Not a very exciting day for NBA basketball. No nationally televised games and the only decent matchup of the day seems to be the Miami Heat vs the Utah Jazz. Miami has been playing pretty well so I’m not sure about them being 8 point underdogs, but the Jazz are on a mission this year. I think given their struggles over the last couple years this might be the last chance they have to go for it all with both Gobert and Mitchell on the roster.

Free stuff is always cool. Thanks for putting this on. I’ll take #9 in the freebie raffle.

As for the strange double doble copy/paste post… LOL. That’s actually grounds for having your account suspended here on these forums. I’ve never seen it so innocently explained but this is the sort of reason we can’t have nice things…

Seems like that would be an awful lot of data to store. I think the NSA has other data filling their data centers, like every dick pic that’s ever been sent or copies all the junk emails everyone is receiving. I’m sure the government is capable of viewing live any spot on earth in a matter of minutes. I doubt they care about recording that information on a global scale though.
