Golden state is almost in the final of the conference with 7 consecutive wins in the playoffs (and 22 wins in the last 23 games played!).
Is clearly the favorite for winning the ring this year.
They are clearly the most favorite for this year maybe because KD is in their line up. I'm one of their fans but seems Klay and Curry is having a bad outside shooting. Which is not good for them.
Their standing and performance for each game will tell why they are the most favorite team of the crowd. I find it KD's addition to the team made them boost up although even without KD they are strong enough. They surely want to make their name shine always for having a lot of consecutive wins.
KD's addition makes them more reliable inside and outside attack since durant really got a big impact for the team klay and curry still the best shooter they just showing respects for each others and allow everyone to touch the ball and make its own part.
They are team and they need to give each other chances to score. And these scoring machines are impressive and for this season they are making sure that they will secure a spot at the finals. Let's see if this is the last game for Utah Jazz or GSW will allow them to play some more or Jazz will have what it takes to beat GSW.
don't think that Utah can do something in the 4rth game GSW really crushing all opponent this Season last season they were the best team in the NBA but failed in the finals while this season they much better and with KD is a great addition and maybe this time they go all the way in . Utah almost have zero chance to get a win so defintly 4-0.for  the Wariors
This a Warriors win tonight. Only if they to sit Curry, durant an Klay Thompson. But that is doubtful since they want to finish up fast so to get rest for the next game.
Remember the last time they sat off all their star line up an let the bench warmers play the entire fourth.
Now that was a circus. An not in a good way. Embarrassed
There is no reason to take this game for granted and sit the starters, they will try their bets to end this series soon so they can have a good rest against the Spurs or the Rockets. People are predicting a blowout win by the warriors tonight, I can read it by the way the line moves.

Gambling is not a long term investment like bitcoin, it is completely short term investment and it is based on gambling you choose. You might make money in the single bet or you might loose all the money in single betting. Through gambling, i don't find any long term investment only you will get experience on betting.
Gambling as investing is a very difficult goal to achieve but it's possible, as for me I did not aim for that anymore as it already give me a lot of heartache testing different technique while costing me some money. My only way of making gambling profitable in the long run is when we will invest in a casinos bankroll but with diversification.
7263  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: May 08, 2017, 01:49:33 PM
cash are not that easy to use in different countries, you need to exchange them everytime, a pain in the ass, bitcoin is a global currency, and very easy too move also

and cannot be faked like cash so easily, add on top of this, the less fees required...
I agreed on you with that manner, Bitcoin aside from that is much more safer than cash money, it is still good and better to use bitcoin than any cash in the whole world. Because bitcoin was very flexible to use and easy to, and easy to convert it too into a real currency depending in the country you belong.
That is possible if you don't consider the poor people in the world, though we will educate them but it will take time for them to understand and we know there are people who are not computer literate who is hard to convince. The concept is good for only for the limited group of people, we cannot encourage bitcoin for the usage of everyone.
7264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: May 08, 2017, 04:56:11 AM
I amnot of those one in a million lucky guy who got rich in gambling.  I do bet lottery and other gambling games but sadly luck have not yet smiled at me to win the jackpot price.  I still hope for the chance of winnig so I always bet everyday hoping at least get a chance to win back what I have spent in those ticket.  So far so good still at slightly negative but well, that is gambling so I do not have right to whine about it Cheesy.

That is correct there mate. However, when you hit the jackpot, you will be part of the one in a million lucky guy but for sure, you will be different among those few little guys because you will be tipping us here Smiley

Hitting the jackpot is once in our life only so we have to properly utilize the winnings, I have seen some people who hit the lottery but they never stop gambling and they became poor again. I stop dreaming to become rich in gambling because it already cost me a lot, I will never be because I am not that lucky.
7265  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sell or wait? on: May 08, 2017, 04:44:25 AM
but i think it is still not the right time to sell bitcoin. to me i think the price of bitcoin will increase more and more and it is hopeful that its price is going to hit 2000 USD level in next few months and hopefully the price of bitcoin is going to cross 2500 USD level at the end of this year.

The right time will be decided by OP, if he needs the money badly then it is the right time to sell his stash.  If not, holding is the best option.  Buying BTC at this current price is not bad also, since we are all optimistic that price will go up in the following months.  But still as I said, OP have the decision to buy more.
Before you invest make sure you already have a plan on how your manage it, your personal needs is something that will distract your plan, other source should take care of it because you only put what you can afford to lose and that is intended for investment based on your projected term.
Well, as you said, when you are in badly need of money, this should be the last option and you can sell whatever the price will be.
7266  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Bitcoin even have a future? on: May 08, 2017, 03:51:35 AM
I dont really expect to bitcoin that it will increase it's price into infinite maybe price are just increasing because of the increasing bitcoin holder and also we need lot of miners to increase the bitcoin the can exist still a long run to reach the maximum limit every for years so it just because of the increasing bitcoin holder but i think bitcoin really have a good future in the industry.
Well, you have to believe now, that is how it works, the price value of bitcoin has increase because there is big development and this year was not most exciting year to watch as after breaking the ATH we are having another ATH from time to time. The surprises will not gonna end yet, take time to monitor and never close your eyes so you can ride with it but ride with caution all the time.
7267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: May 07, 2017, 10:38:13 AM
Some interesting scene to watch between GSW vs Utah Jazz, still hard to predict the match winner as points gap between this 2 teams are really close and remaining few minutes can change the game pattern anytime from now.
Now just less then One minute and gape is more then 11 points they are ready to have 3 - 0 lead like cavaliers these both going in Semi finals without losing any game 

Jazz has no chance to win any games with GS. GS players are good on outside and inside. Thats an easy semifinal for GS. I would love to see GS and Spurs at the conference finals. Hope Parker recover on that day. Spurs is the underdog. But i believe they can match against this powerhouse team. And hopefully make it to the finals.

You can't say that unless the series is already finish. We can easily predict that Golden State Warriors dominates Jazz but it is still basketball and the ball is round. Jazz will not enter to the play offs and advance to the second round if they are really weak. For me, it is not easy to say that this series will be sweep. So don't be over confident.

Well, anything can happen in the game, but I really observed that Golden State can manhandle those teams when the playoffs started. Even if the Warriors can play with or without their superstar players, I would say this series would be a sweep if Jazz can't answer the Warrior's dominant plays.
Warriors has been giving so much money for the bettors, they are surely the public play and this time the ATS were lowered considering they are on the road but this is the only time they covered for the 3 games that is over. I hope game 4 they will end jazz and cover again, I cannot bet on moneyline, the payout is really low. Too much for my betting.... Warriors are really good, you can tell the way they are confident to shoot the ball.

Both Starters and the bench did a great job but tonight it was Durant who close the game for them.
7268  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin also lead to corruption ? on: May 07, 2017, 06:59:49 AM
If the politicians enters in the world of bitcoin, I think there is a chances that bitcoin can lead to corruption. Even there's a chance the corruption of bitcoin, it will never be happen anymore because developer would not want it to happen because they know that bitcoin corruption can lead the bitcoiners to quit using bitcoin.
Anyone criminals or corrupt if they already know the anonymous and decentralized advantages of bitcoin. They will surely make use of it for illegal activities. Such as money laundering

Money laundering entirely differs from corruption. For both the needs bitcoin can be used due to the nature it's been developed. Being anonymous helps users make transactions without revealing end to end identity but with transparency in the value move. Right now Money laundering happens much through bitcoin than corruption as politicians were not much aware of cryptocurrencies

Money laundering is not corruption itself, of course

But both of these things are still closely affiliated, so to speak. Money laundering can exist on its own, but it typically follows an instance of corruption, especially if money is involved. For example, if you have been given a bribe, i.e. a big amount of money, you won't be able to spend it directly and right away. Wtf, you won't be able even to put it in a bank since this will inevitably trigger alarms and raise questions as to where you got all this pile of money from. So you will have to launder it, i.e. find a plausible explanation that you, in fact, earned all this wealth through hard work and weren't just bribed
With bitcoin it's hard for you to trace if you will launder your money when some exchanges will not cooperate or will not be regulated by the government, we have services like bitcoin mixer where for me a good way to launder your money, however I am not saying it will not be trace, it is just hard to trace because you go through with different address. Smart people knows how to effective launder their money, and don't even put your money in the bank without a ready explanation because banks are regulated by the government to report suspicious transactions under the memorandum issued by the AMLC.

Lunyr pump incoming... where will it go?

300K? 400? Maybe $100/lun

Nobody knows.

100$ is cheap... Or it will be when we look back from 2018
Be realistic guys. Anything near $20-$30 by the end of 2018 will be a good achievement for this project.I am not dreaming of getting ROI withing overnight. Give it 1 year and LUN will compete with LTC or XMR ,
If we have a basis of our prediction then I guess that is being realistic out here, I have a good prediction with LUN because personally I invested in this project. Price is under $10 as of this moment but due to limited supply I think it will reach a massive increase of $100, yeah that is possible.

I think the warriors will get this one, Jazz are not really good offensively although they have the home court advantage, they need more shooters to go on with their offense and you cannot bet the warriors with lack of offense. The line was really tough for the warriors to cover, but I'm thinking if they can get their rhythm back in the outside shooting it will be possible to cover the high point spread.
7271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: May 06, 2017, 01:41:43 PM
Toronto Raptors 94 - 115 Cleveland Cavaliers
Houston Rockets 92 - 103 San Antonio Spurs

Utah Jazz 01:30 Golden State Warriors
Toronto Raptors 20:30 Cleveland Cavaliers

Everything easy for Cleveland who is already 3-0 in this series. In these playoff cleveland has won all the games played (7 of 7).
Excellent performance for Lebron James with 35 points 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

43 points for Harden were not enough. Important victory away of San Antonio, is now again the favorite for overcoming the turn.

Well the east, I think, belong to the cavs already. I don't really see any team seriously able to challenge LeBron and company. Even with the emergence of Isaiah Thomas in this year's boston run, the cavs would be too much to handle for any eastern conference team. The real battles are in the west. I'm looking forward to a gs vs sa matchup in the conference finals and whoever wins would be a very good match for the cavs.
Cavaliers are the king in the East, no team will ever defeat cavaliers that's why they have an easier journey compared to the west teams. I think whoever team the cavaliers will face, they can easily sweep it but I like to see the Wizards vs the Cavaliers in the east finals, they are more exciting to watch compared to the Boston Team.
7272  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: May 06, 2017, 05:42:11 AM
I am one of those people who came quite late to this bircoin world. I like to be realistic and I know that it seems almost imposible for me to achieve great wealth through bitcoin, however I have no doubt that this coin will be quite useful for me in the not distant future to move my money, generated through other businesses.
I came in the Bitcoin world in the early 2016 and I never feel that it is too late to join this community. Bitcoin has brought many wonderful things to me and my family and I will still use it as a type of currency and a good place to invest my money
Yes joining our community or getting bitcoin for this year is not that late because bitcoin price is keep on rising and one day it will reach up to $10,000 price per one bitcoin and that will serve as a motivation for us to continue holding bitcoin until that price comes. Bitcoin is also a good investment for the people who want to have a fast earning investment.
You can join anytime you want but do consider the risk and knowing the risk will make yourself eager to study on how to be successful, this people who are making a fortune with bitcoin are risk takers and if you think bitcoin will no grow anymore since the price is really high, think a second, what is important is the adoption and currently estimated percentage of adoption are less than 5% of the world's total population, so by simply looking at the figure, you can tell there's still more room to grow.
7273  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When do you plan to sell? on: May 06, 2017, 03:32:32 AM
Unfortunately I sold most of mu bitcoins when its previous record was achieved, around $1250 because I thought that would be an importan resistance level, and I confirmed it when its price dropped to $900 again, but since that correction the price has only grown every day more and more. Nowadays I have decided not to sell a single satoshi for a long time, although perhaps I have made that decision a little late.  Undecided
There is nothing wrong with it if you sell it with profit, you cannot foreseen the future so you have nothing to regret for, the basic principle must always be applied, you buy low and you sell high, if you were able to perfectly do it, you must be happy.
7274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: May 06, 2017, 02:15:45 AM
I place bet again and hope i will win it

Toronto Raptors -    Cleveland Cavaliers
, Cleveland is on the rush and thing that this one they wont win, bet win Raptors
Houston Rockets - San Antonio Spurs, this is for me most interesting duel, here i will go for under 207.5 points
I am watching the game right now and Lowry is out this game but Derozen is killing it for the raptors in the first half.
But the Cavaliers have been here before and know how to close out a series with urgency with that happened with Parker yesterday it is the main point of the team with a 3-0 series lead to close it out in a hurry just to not have what happen to San Antonio happens to them
Looks like the cavaliers are here to sweep every team they face in the playoffs, the series is 3-0 right now and I can tell honestly that the Raptors has only a small chance to win in the series, cavaliers should be the favorite to win in the Finals, I can tell they way they play that they want a repeat.
7275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: May 03, 2017, 07:43:30 AM
I have heard that bitcoin is not supported in some countries. But why ? Is it because bitcoin is risky ? Some countries even declare 6 months jail if her people use bitcoin. Is it fair ? I mined few cryptos and have left mining. It was fun and challenging too. But I never got any clear answer. What does my gpu actually do ? I pay electric bill, my room temperature goes high and I get paid. With actually no skill on pc hardware and software. Whole thing is still pretty unclear to me

because bitcoin is decentralise and bitcoin can be a tool in doing illegal activities. and there are still so many fators why they do not recognize bitcoin. i just point some of it.

This discussion about bitcoin being used in illegal activities will never it. And it's very unfair to say that with bitcoin because even our fiat money or local currency are being used to fund for different illegal transactions. I had to agree with the decentralization and it is the one that what the creator/s of bitcoin want to implement.
Even fiat who are centralized we can see it is being used for illegal activities also, if you compared it with bitcoin it is still fiat that is widely use for illegal activities. The money laundering was created to combat this kind of activity and it was imposed with banks to monitor cash it and cash out that are not justifiable or questionable, so that fact alone would prove that fiat are more used in illegal activities.

Now is the time for me to accumulate more waves, after a long time of developing waves, we now see the results of the hardwork of the developers. Price is still fairly cheap if you would ask me and with the recent news I've seen about waves, I am not willing to invest more to hold exclusively for this year alone.
7277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: May 03, 2017, 06:24:10 AM
Nothing, lost it all back in the end.

When I realised this, I stopped gambling.
I guess most of the gamblers have that kind of experience, when we think we can still win in the next session and we save our winnings for it but unfortunately our expectations are wrong. I guess it's still best to just enjoy our winnings and spend it on things that will make us happy, in my case I just love to treat my friends for a drink, that is very satisfying to me.
7278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: May 03, 2017, 03:16:29 AM
What a nice game between the Celtics and the Wizards, yeah it's nice even if I lose due to overtime, lol..
Good display of talents for Thomas and Wall, they both have an amazing night and were unstoppable, now it's the boston who lead the series with 2-0.
I am expecting the Wizards will bounce back in game 3, so with that I will go all in to recover my loses of betting wizards +5. Grin
7279  Economy / Economics / Re: Which one is good, trading or investing? on: May 03, 2017, 02:30:22 AM
I think both are good because of the trading we can produce up to 100% profit within short (less 1 month). and with investments then made old age become more assured.
Trading is for active people especially when done in the crypto world, the price is so volatile so you have to make sure you will also be monitoring to have the right timing to buy and sell. It's risky to those who lack knowledge but for people who accepts the risk and understand what they are doing, it is the best way of making money or their source of income.
7280  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: May 03, 2017, 02:12:41 AM
wonderful, the price of the bitcoin soon reach $1500 and initially many people pessimistic price bitcoin can continue to rise. the price of gold go up no more than 10% per year and of course I choose bitcoin.
Agreed, gold price won't grow above certain percentage. The growth rate of bitcoin will be always high as well at times the dip too seems big. I used to invest in a 40:20 proportion on bitcoin and gold, because till now the bitcoin acceptance is less and for emergency need what I can do is make use of the gold for getting loan. The same is possible with bitcoin but the risk is high.
It's not yet time to conclude that bitcoin is more valuable than gold, the price that we see now might change in the near future so if I were to ask I would go with a stable one and that is gold, but only if I have a good amount of capital for investment. Now that I only have a limited income, I would always go with bitcoin because I love to take risk to make big.
