And the series is Even now, what an exciting series this year, both the East and West have 2-2 record, if this will both go to game 7
I think the league will be making a lot of money. People say this game was fixed, they maybe true but if you are a gambler, just bet on the right side.

Those who said that games are rigged are clearly don't watch about basketball games.

Yes there is a missed call, wrong calls or whatever but the way players played, it's hard to imagined that it's all scripted. Just look at efforts of those players involved just to get a win. Physical actions clearly can be seen at every game and if the game is rigged, it will harmed the reputation of the league.

We can't say that the league is pushing all games for a Game 7 just because all games at both conference are now even.

I agree. It is hard to see a scripted game. It is all hard work and maybe there are too much fans of GSW that makes this kind of gossips.
Houston wins and that's it.
There is still game 5, 6 and 7. If they are just really making money then they should have also done it with 1st round and 2nd round but they did not. There is a sweep and a 4-1.
GSW is really hot in the 3rd but afterwards they got so calm and didn't see that Houston is already chipping the lead away. That is being careless and if you will see the last minutes of the fourth quarter the rotation became wack and I could not even see a good play from the GSW.

Why is there a maybe with Bitcoin? That should be first of the list. You visited bitcointalk for nothing if you are making it as the least option.

Anyway, you got a good list there with Ethereum inside. That is the most used as of now and for traders it is a good altcoin also for profit since it is so volatile with its price. Its cheap so if you buy 10 ETH and fluctuates up by 10 dollars then you got $100 in an instant.
7363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 22, 2018, 04:26:59 PM

... but speaking of Igoudala, I've read that he is doubtful to be in the Game 4, I think it is a chance for Houston to follow up,

Yes Andre Igoudala is listed as doubtful to play on their next game due to his knee soreness that came from the collission of his knees to James Harden last Game 3.

But again, I see it will not be a problem. Kevon Looney, Nick Young and Shaun Livingston are those I think will replaced Igoudala as starters. But since Livingston is way better as 6th man, I think it will between Looney and Young or Kerr can adjust it by placing Draymond Green as forward as take Pachulia as center. I maybe wrong here depends on Steve Kerr's preferences so don't take it seriously. Smiley

And for recap, Andre Igoudala only have 26 total points from Game 1 to 3 (on which only 5 at Game 2) so in terms of production, I think it will not harmed much the Golden State Warriors offense although at some point, no doubt that Igoudala is really good at creating offensive phase for an easy bucket.

Although it may also affect the defense of GSW. Iguodala have been a great help on that field stopping big bodies like Tucker and Houston forwards.

Game 3 they didnt let Pachulia and Mcgee play the game for speed. Somehow Looney did a big change to their defense so I think Kerr will be chosing him.
Livingston is part of the 2nd team and as replacement of Curry, Durant or Klay. I dont think he will be used for a starter.
7364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto currency in five years! on: May 22, 2018, 01:29:48 PM
I have the same idea.
5 year or not, that day will come. I do not why other bitcoin enthusiast do not see that.
It will be the currency of the internet for starters then it will come to the physical trades.
Devices that can do it all will be made so payments using bitcoin will be done fast and easy.
Then again, regrets for those who did not believe and just looking at the price.
7365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 21, 2018, 11:20:38 PM
Curry is back. Congratulations to him.
Bang! Curry is back, congrats to him as well.

The crowd helped as well giving a good cheer to the players. That was an almost easy game for them having a big lead, what will be the Houston's plan for this defeat. What now James Soften?

Please take note! Curry never left! woot Woot!
That was an easy win by the Warriors, Curry is making some good shots and I think the rest of the game he will be playing good.
I am not sure if the Rockets can still compete against the warriors, maybe game 2 was just a gift because they will be eliminated soon at their own home.
Give Rockets a chance but most of us here are betting with Golden State Warriors. If it is not with Warriors we are with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
There's the two crowd favorite and they are near to each other, they might be the destined rivals for this generation or few more years there will be another team that will compete the finals.
@cjrosero, it meant for his plays.

I am still seeing fans who wants something new. I guess they got bored with the way Warriors and Cavaliers play.
If it is the Celtics then great but I am thinking if they will have a chance with Houston or GSW. This two offensive team differs with the way they play and Boston will have a hard time to catch up.
7366  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is trend Now? on: May 21, 2018, 06:45:04 PM
I find the current trend is to hold coin worth, trading habits should change because it is really complicated and difficult to bring profit, stay away from the ponzi model and lending ico. That is my advice, and you, see the current trend like?  Huh Huh

Stay away from ponzi and double your money schemes.  Grin That should have been the first rule when going crypto. They come in, once they see you are a good target.
Lending ICO is not that bad. If they did a good job marketing it then it might explode. But there are just trust issues with this.
See this:

The trend of late 2017 that is the lending platform. At present, I have not clear view seen the trend of the market. But I think the current trend of the market is to focus on projects that pay well in practice.

Some people still believes in the lending platform. Besides, if they are risky traders then they will need this.

I think we are all about long-term trading. Ir has much advantages over one-day trading with the most essential - much lower risks
Why not just buy a brand new ICO token which gives bonuses if you are an early bird. Comes with a lot of risk though.

7367  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin, KYC, Unbanked on: May 21, 2018, 03:04:53 PM
One of my problems recently is this. I am one of those who have nothing on the bank. It is just my payroll that comes in it and I withdraw that money quickly when the salary was given.
Now, there is a KYC in one of my escape online wallets. They want this and that and they are limiting the amount that I could withdraw.
Although I have the identifications needed and have already sent some after like an amount of money of withdrawal they are doing it again.
What is the difference now with banks?  Cry
Somehow it is scary and might urge some people to withdraw their money that will cost the value of bitcoin and other coins.
7368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 21, 2018, 01:27:19 PM
Probably that's true. I saw some posts on social media that they say that rockets would easily win and the warriors wouldn't get any wins.
Prove them wrong. Well, it's fun to see the games and especially the plays during playoffs.

With a lot of things happening and a lot of people making a lot of prediction in the finals, it makes me more confused on which team will I bet. Game three of the eastern finals also makes me more confused. For now, I will bet on Houston and Celtics since they will probably beat the opposing sides on the next game.

Yes. With Curry making shots again at the three point line there will a lot og changes in the Vegas odds.
It will just like before where you wont even feel the profit betting for the Warriors.
A risky move if you will go against them but if it is for a big odd then why not. Bet a little for Houston just in case lady luck touches them.
7369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 21, 2018, 02:33:10 AM
Wow. What a blowout game. A lot of garbage time for the Warriors bench.
Like Steph said they just watched the Game 2 video and this is what happened. They knew their errors and now will Houston knew what erros they have made.
A lot of missed lay ups and 35 percent shooting percentage. That is way too low.
They need to stretch their defense also like what they did at Game 2.
No rotation of the ball. They all want to be stars and that is not one of the needs to be a champion.

Curry is back. Congratulations to him.
7370  Economy / Economics / Re: Why I am quitting ICO's on: May 20, 2018, 11:36:00 PM
This is why people are so in haste to get their ROI. ICO's are repeated. They are all the same by now. It will be like ETH or BTC or LTC. They all just make it like that. It will be better if it is a decentralized trading website or a token for a good service like shopping. But they dont go that way cause it is risky and they want the money. Who doesn't?

They are banned in social media because of that also. Investors are being confused and they dont know they are stepping at a fake one.
7371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The effect of altcoin on bitcoin? on: May 20, 2018, 10:42:02 PM
Since the advent of bitcoin in 2009 led to cryptocurenccy experts competing to make another new coin like bitcoin, this is ALTCoin, where ALTCoin moves at the rate of bitcoin, most people use ALTCoin as the fastest way to collect bitcoin , because the rate or rate is often very promising against bitcoin, began the emergence of many ALTCoin make some coin is just a boom but also many investors and the various types.
What is the effect of increasing the amount of altcoin on bitcoin?

A big one.
Instead of people just buying one crypto currency they have now this option to select which is the better one. Somehow it also slows down the truth that it will only be bitcoin that will stay for a long time and also the most valuable.
We will see more about it in the future. It will really shock the world wide web. I believe that.
7372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 20, 2018, 04:21:10 PM


Remember what I said here. Celtics in 4.


Ok, I have to comeback to this post for celebrating too early and understimating the Cavs that the Celts could potentialy sweep them.
Well, game 3 was a blow out. I can see why Kevin and Lebron still managed to joke and laugh around the press after the game 2 loss.  
I hope Cavs will win again in game 4 , to take back what I lost in game 1 and 2 lol.

Looks like Lebron got mad to his team for leaning on him too much and look what happened. They all created their shots and got a good defense now.
That is how Cavs play and not thay Game 1 and 2. They have been ridicously calm that 2 games after a sweep in Toronto.

This will be a good game for game 4. Let us see how Celtics will answer that rampage that was done by the Cavs.
I am sure it's still gonna be cavs winning in game 4, I am afraid this might give them a 4 winning streak
and dispatch the Celtics in the playoffs. They found their rhythm and Korver was having a good shooting night, this should continue.

They are still hanging and needs to grip that rope.
If Celtics gets just one game and this Game 4 was given to them it could be the end of them. That is the bad thing when giving 2 wins with the other team. You will be having problems once they get just one game. But it could also be a boost for Cleveland to not let it happen.

They cannot rest after this big win. They might underestimate Boston in Game 4 after a big lead. This Cleveland team needs to take their stand for every game and not just because they have Lebron there.

7374  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks admit they fear BTC on: May 19, 2018, 09:49:36 PM
I do not think this is true. But if banks are afraid of BTC, why do not they accept the BTC and develop it based on electronic money? Banks will lend money electronically and we will send Bitcoin to the bank


Banks are not one solid entity. The ones who are intimidated by crypto are those who are very close to governments and are afraid of losing their power and influence.

You hit it right.
But almost all of them are with the government. Remember, they can take something out of you bank funds if you cannot pay tax or mortgage or anything that is in the government circle.
How could they do that? Isnt it unfair?
What if that is the last money that I got to make budget while I still do not have my first salary from my job?
They do not think that way. They just take. They hate freedom although it looks like a free country outside.
It cannot happen, people should not be free and bitcoin is a problem for them. Steps have been seen creating panic to the hodlers. This should not be the true value of BTC by now if not for them.
7375  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance! Attention! Be cautious! on: May 19, 2018, 09:17:29 PM
The amount that will be given is already questionable.
I am already done with those freebies that are offered even the lowest one.
Dont sign up on anything or do not give even a single detail to them.
That is based on experience already. One hack from those a-holes and I learned.
Even if it is almost true. Better just work for it. More satisfying than freebies.

Thanks though.

Have you ever tried to brute force a 12 digit wifi password? If you do then you know how long it will take before you have the possibility to get the right one.

It is extremely difficult and will take a lot of time before that happens. Your computer might even be the one to surrender first. Grin

That is why we have those seeds to make it hard for those hackers. It aint a simple password like your account.
I got even a hard time memorizing it. Grin
7377  Economy / Economics / Re: How is Bitcoin different from Etherium? on: May 19, 2018, 04:26:31 PM
It can not be described as an innovative and mind-blowing technology, although it is very useful itself, it is just your money, held in a digital form.
What a load of nonsense. You couldn't be any more wrong. People had been trying to figure out a trustless, decentralized electronic payment method for a long time. None of them could solve the double spend issue without using a centralized ledger. Bitcoin elegantly solved it.

I assume you are a newbie who has just recently been awestruck by the promises of ICO vaporware and the "amazing" things that people will do on this "decentralized global computer" called Ethereum. It is hard not to get bedazzled by all the marketing. You need to study bitcoin a lot more to understand it's technical as well as socio-economic aspects that excited the first people Satoshi contacted. For example, Here is one of the greats, Hal Finney speaking about it in his own words.

Also, Please stop shilling Ethereum like it is some kind of promising long term investment. It has proved none of it's proposed usages. It has only contributed to the ICO craze and even there it has competition in the form of competing chains like EOS, Lisk, QTUM etc. For anybody is looking for a long-term investment, bitcoin with its proven network, robustness, utility and community should take be the biggest part of your investment.

OP might want to stick this to his posts for being a great one. It is not about the disagreement but how people look at it.
Engaging to better answer this difference of two valuable currencies by now.
I also would pick bitcoin if you are really looking at long term or better never even selling it for usage on the future.
We just cannot see that now and Ethereum is being mostly used by now because of the hype of the ICO's. Again better look at it using a magnifying glass and don't come to conclusions like it is already the future here.
We are still in the stage where people are glued to the traditional fiat.
7378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 19, 2018, 03:46:14 PM
I almost made guaranteed choices.
Golden State Warriors - Houston Rockets  ▼Golden State Warriors
Cleveland Cavaliers - Boston Celtics ▼   Cleveland Cavaliers
You know, it is gambling and we can't be sure who will really win in the series. Sometimes we based our decisions, specially here in the NBA on the star players when we bet our money. Of course i will put my money the Cleveland Cavaliers because they had Lebron James while the Boston Celtics don't have Kyrie Irving at the moment. But things happen specially if we are playing a round ball.  Grin Grin

Your basing on star players?
That is not what it always happen. Star players tend to have that heavy moment bringing a team to a win because of all the players leaning on them.
It should be a team play. Look what happened with Cleveland, all of them know they have Lebron so they all don't think straight anymore. They are paid to play and they should keep on doing their best and no lean it all to one star.

I can see Lebron is still calm with what happened. But one steal of a game by Boston and they might take it straight. Remember that no team have recovered from 3 wins of one opponent.
7379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's your current strategy? on: May 19, 2018, 02:00:14 PM
My current strategy now in trading is buy if the coin price is low and then hold it until the price will pumped and then sell it I used the long term trading I will hold the coin and wait in a months or years. Waiting and more patience are the key to gain more profit in long term trading.

Good thing there are still people who thinks like this. Buying at the downtrend could be a profitable idea but it comes with a lot of risk.
It may go down to zero and will never get ROI which could also not revive anymore.
Now, a lot have been going in the crypto world so the probability of a profit is still a larger percentage.
7380  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Power of Neo on: May 18, 2018, 09:13:58 PM
Okay that is too much. I dont think Ethereum did it that way.
They just let the popularity in the hands of the people and companies.

Now this. I dont know if it will work cause there are investors who think the other way. They dont want it to be over broadcast. Look at Waves. Too much hype and now left alone there. Let the people decide. This aint helping.
