741  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a “safe haven asset” on: October 27, 2023, 07:53:44 PM
Previously, not only did the world consider bitcoin a highly volatile and high-risk asset, but even those of us who invested in bitcoin considered it a high-risk asset. But I think we should gradually change that concept as well as change the way we call it, bitcoin is no longer a risky asset. Recently AllianceBernstein, an asset manager with $699 billion, called bitcoin a safe haven and even more attractive than gold.

For me, this is the first time I've seen a traditional company admit and call bitcoin a safe haven and consider it superior to gold. What do you think about this and should we stop calling bitcoin a risky investment?
https://blockworks.co/news/alliancebernstein-gold-bitcoin-returns

It might be true, but still though, bitcoin is very much a volatile asset and it's hard to consider it as a safe haven. Maybe it has become one of the alternatives like like what we witnessed in the pandemic. But for me it doesn't mean it the best asset though if you look at it because the price moves in manner that we really don't anticipate. And old and traditional fart doesn't like that and they will still stick to Gold.

So it's really up to the individual on how they define safe haven. Maybe AllianceBernstein has it's own narrative from behind why they are saying this. Maybe they have a lot of clients who are into bitcoin and obviously they want to attract more with this kind of statements and then reassuring their already clientele.
742  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 on: October 27, 2023, 07:32:25 PM
Tapales seems to be taking this seriously; he's already been training, even though there are still 2 months before the fight. Will he be training for a total of 3 to 4 months? I understand his eagerness to win, but I hope he doesn't overstrain himself.

He need to train very seriously as this is the biggest fight of his training. As we have been saying, he shouldn't live an stone unturn in this fight. He need to be ready at 100% capacity and be motivated both mentally and physically. Usually fighters train for 8 -12 weeks and then be at peak during the fight night. I think Marlon is good and will not be overtrain.

Tapales went to the US in late August in order to train. So it's 4 months in total until December 26 which is too much for the body. But I am pretty sure his team knows it, they are probably taking some breaks and are only training lightly. Although Tapales already had a lot of sparring sessions with Ancajas and Magsayo. It could be that the plan to transfer to the mountainous Baguio, Philippines is the start of the serious training camp.

Meanwhile, according to veteran writer Joe Koizumi, Inoue's plan is to move up in weight by 2025. If all goes well, he aims to defend his undisputed championship 3 times next year mentioning the names of Nery, Casimero, and Akhmadaliev.

Inoue's Plans

And I think that is what we are discussing previously, that there are news that Inoue after unifying the belt and beat Tapales, he will stay in this division. And I guess this one as well, who is questioning my posts before,

I read that this is the 4 fighters that Inoue wanted to face before moving up in division,

1. 🇵🇭 Marlon Tapales - This November
2. 🇵🇭 John Riel Casimero
3. 🇲🇽Luis Nery
4. 🇺🇿MJ Akhmadaliev

Can we have an official source to these? As far as Inoue is concerned, he is not a type of boxer that target a certain boxer in terms of he really want that to be his opponent. Marlon Tapales isn't on Inoue's radar but since the Pinoy boxer got the championship belt, then he needs to fight him as that was a mandatory to become the undisputed champion in the Super Bantamweight Division.

Maybe that list is those who wants to face Inoue instead and try to keep the monster at the Super Bantamweight for the meantime.

Luis Nery is honestly just full of talks. He won't stand a chance against Inoue. On the list, it's really John Riel Casimero as a better opponent for him although even I will support Quadro Alas here, Inoue is seems to be the better fight over him. Casimero have a hard time dominating the unranked boxer he faced on his last fight. If that performance will be applied against Inoue, it's a clear win already for the Japanese.

So there you have it, we might consider the source as official now. And that is the boxers that Inoue really wanted to face, at least he will have to clean up this division before he can move and see his greatness once again at 126 lbs. But it's very hard as natural 126 lbs are heavy and taller like Rey Vargas.
743  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin may not hit $24,750 again in 2023 - I'm bullish till 2024 on: October 27, 2023, 07:01:39 PM
The Bitcoin market this week posted the highest growth we've seen in 2023. Where compared to other months, this month of October has seen the most bulls and prices have increased rapidly. Since in 2023 we see Bitcoin price at $35000, we can expect Bitcoin to basically hit $40000 by the end of this year. As the Bitcoin market has seen a lot of growth over time, we certainly expect to see more Bitcoin price lows this year. And the Bitcoin market in 2024 I expect the price of Bitcoin to reach $60k dollars and later when Bitcoin is halved then its price will increase relatively. A bull market will start after the bitcoin halving, and then the bitcoin market will reach higher highs.

I want 45-48k by dec 31 2023. I think it is possible. would be nice for me.

I think that is the target price for the majority of us, at least $40k-$50k at the end of the year will really be nice. And we are still moving in that direction though, currently $33k-$35k, and then when we have a break out run then in the next couple of months $40k-$50k, so let's see.

Not sure though what will be the bullish news to push the market, it's too early to look for the Bitcoin Spot ETF as the source of positive news. It might be better, if by chance the approval will happen next year to coincide with block halving and then the eventual bull run. Just need some patience as we are looking for at least $100k at the all time high, so pretty much very excited for next year.
744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think if you have a lot of money its hard to satisfy your ego in gambling on: October 27, 2023, 06:50:19 PM
We have threads here about people betting millions of dollars on sports battings and other games in casinos and the amount of money is insane, they can bet millions of dollars on one team and they easily forget everything and bet another millions.

I doubt if we have high rollers who will admit, that having a lot of money means you cannot satisfy your ego or that your level of enjoyment is high that you will need to bet millions of dollars just to fulfill your dopamine level.

What do you think, if I have millions I will be satisfied betting thousands of dollars for fear of addiction that will lead to losing my fortune, but I really don't know if I will reach that level of having millions and still be moderate in gambling.

If you have the money to bet millions of dollars, then most likely you are going to continue to gamble no matter what the amount you are going to win. I have known some whales in offline casinos and him and his wife continue play with millions and even if they won already, they will not stop. To the point wherein he said that he might get sick and in the hospital if he can't play even for a single day.

And mind you this guy has a huge business that's why he was able to sustain this run of his in the casinos. But sometimes, I have to think with the money that he has lost, that is enough for me to live for a lifetime. But it's hard to tell him straight up that he should at least minimized his gambling activity as he is just throwing millions upon millions in the casino every night.
745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 27, 2023, 10:25:56 AM
What a debut game by Dame Lillard, and if I'm not mistaken, he has now own the record in Bucks history for most points in a debut game. He puts in a show with 39 big points, And Giannis with 23 points.

But you have to give up to the 76ers as well, without Harden they almost steal this one for the home court of the Bucks. But in the last 4 minutes Dame took over the game, perfect in free throws and then his beyond the arc attempts. Not sure what they stick with Oubre guarding him though, I mean Lillard is just going around circles with Kelly and then made those 3's.

Lillard certainly knows how to close out a game. He essentially saved the Bucks in that match, and without him, Giannis might have struggled to secure the win.

However, when you examine the distribution of points, it's not all that surprising. Players who don't have as many touches might struggle to find their rhythm, especially Middleton, who has a significant contract with the team. In the game, he only attempted 5 shots, in contrast to Giannis and Lillard, who had at least 20 attempts each.

If you want the game, you will know that Middleton didn't play that much in this game, he just played for 16 minutes. The bulk of the time is taken by Lillard himself. But it's good though, as he takes over the game. However, one thing I noticed is that they let him go one on one against Oubre and it might not be good for them in the long run. And since they have a new coach, the players rotation is very different, Beasley and Jae Crowder was in the floor for the closing minutes instead of Middleton or even Bobby Portis. Se we might see some changes or new rotation down the line, and most likely some of them will suffer as it will be Dame getting the most minutes for the likes of Khris Middleton.
746  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Warning]: Scam/Phishing Avalaunch Website on: October 26, 2023, 09:10:39 PM
Similar templates have been used by scammers and since there is no policing of the net, side-effect of free speech, we have similar looking site pop up to fool a unsuspecting newbie. Obviously this is profitable for the scammers because the buying price for a number of domains and the profit from scamming even a single newbie breaks even and crosses it as well. Hence their motivation to continue to scam from their own pocket. It is likened to an investment.

Although the above site will get reported by many of the forum members here, another hydra head will come up. That should not deter us from getting weary and keep spreading the word about such scams.

Yeah, it's true, sometimes you really think what is the side-effect of this freedom that we got, if someone will question it, for sure it's going to backfire on that person because they will say that he doesn't want freedom.

Now scammers in the web are taking advantage of it, just have this template ready, contact a domain registar and buy a similar looking domain name and roll out their scams, easy as 1-2-3. And then just wait for newbies who found out this side to fall for this trick and losses all his crypto once he connect his wallet.

But it's good that it has been flag down already. But for sure there will be more to discover.
747  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the most weird thing you bought with crypto? on: October 26, 2023, 08:54:55 PM
In a deal, 2 years ago, I asked the seller of a real estate project, if he will accept crypto for plot but he demanded some extra money for this deal. So, I was not able to close the deal but may be in future, I can buy something unique with crypto.

What is the most weird thing you bought with crypto?

It's because bitcoin is not yet universally accepted, that's why your seller of the real estate refuses to accept crypto as payment. But it's good that you have ask your real estate agent, at least he has a idea what bitcoin is and who knows, maybe in the next couple of years, they will have to put a "Bitcoin accepted here" logo.

And with that, I haven't bought anything weird with crypto. Although I uses it to pay my monthly dues as I'm using a 3rd party (I know it's sucks, it should be p2p), but still good on my end. Dues like electricity, home and cable internet, to even water.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: "Mattress Mack" loses nearly 10 million dollars on Astros Loss on: October 26, 2023, 08:38:02 PM
Most of you probably aren't familiar with this man, but he's pretty popular here in the United States, known for making monster bets on his favorite baseball team, the Houston Astros ( also the most hated team in America being that they were caught cheating  during their World Series win a few years back). 

I saw a video of someone giving him shit and him stacking "fuck you, fuck you" left and right back at the man.  This guy seems to lose his cool quite a bit.  He seems like an old fart but if you look up his history, he's bet millions upon millions of dollars, both winning and losing TONS of money.

Here's the recent bet/story ( could you ever bet millions if you had it? )
https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/jim-mattress-mack-mcingvale-lost-at-least-7-9-million-on-astros-world-series-bets/

Not familiar with this guy to be honest, but I have seen people betting huge on sports like Floyd and Drake. And this just shows that even if you really have tons of money to bet, it will still hurt in the end and for those who says that gambling is fun, it ain't if you lose in millions of dollars.

Probably he can walk away and move on after this big lose of his. Most likely he still has a lot of money in his bank. Nevertheless, he will want to recoup this losses very soon so I think he will all in again in his next bet. He might not go and tell the public it or like this go to social media if he were able to win in his next bet for clout obviously.

So what's left is the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks who have not played the regular season just yet. Tomorrow they will be matched against each other.
But here is the problem.
Sixers' James Harden returns to practice, but won't travel with team for NBA season opener vs. Bucks
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/sixers-james-harden-returns-to-practice-but-wont-travel-with-team-for-nba-season-opener-vs-bucks/
Take note of that before placing your bets for tomorrow guys because this will affect the game big time. The Bucks might get the W in their home without much resistance if James Harden keeps on resisting.  Cheesy

Thanks for this news, and probably why the Sixers are a huge underdogs against the Bucks for tomorrow's game.

I already locked in my bet at -6.5 at 1.93. I think the Bucks can cover this one if Giannis and Dame putting up a show for their fans in their first home games. And regarding the James Harden news, not sure why the Sixers though have this curse, first it was Ben Simmons drama, and now we have Harden refusing to play or just insisting that he wanted to be out of the Sixers and traded to the Clippers. But it seems that it's not going to happen for now, so let's see who is going to win in this one. Whether it's the team or the player itself who will succumb to the pressures.

Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? Many here will feel that this is waste of time and will also not let them enjoy the game peacefully. Do you also have same mentality?

maybe people will have different opinions on this, however, i'm not someone who records my wins and losses because i think it's not important and reduces the fun of playing. i just play and let luck determine how it turns out and that's much more fun than writing it all down and just adding to the burden on my mind.

I am like you, I don't record my gambling wins/losses as well. I guess that's important for people who take gambling seriously, and I am not that guy. I play for fun and relaxation when I have moneis to afford that, since I mostly play lucky-based games I can say that I also rely on luck to determine the outcome... And you are probably more than right when you say that writing all down would be a burden, I feel the same here... maybe because we lost more than we won! Smiley

Even though you take up gambling seriously, there is no need to record how much money you lose or win. Although if you are playing online, you can check the history of your bet and see how it goes for you. But if you are going in and play in traditional based, you can't. But I do believed that everyone here knows at least the ball park number that they have lost at least for this year.

But to totally record it? nah, I don't think that gamblers will go that far. And it will not served any purposed for them and even not going to help them quit gambling for good even if they see how much money the already lost though. On the contrary, it might be bad as you might want to chase and recover what you have lost already. And in turn, you can incurred more loses in your book.
751  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin $5k rise within an hour plus. on: October 25, 2023, 12:34:04 AM
Just within an hour plus bitcoin rose by $5k which I don't think anyone had expected it in this way and it's a thing of joy for all bitcoin hodlers of which this rise has in addition lift the optimism of everyone's speculation about bitcoin bullrun any time soon even though the bitcoin ETF which in postulation  is believed to offset bitcoin price if approved is still in the pipeline unapproved.

Just to express my thoughts about this $5k upturn, inam having a hard time to accepting that a very close bullrun is underway if I don't see a corresponding altcoins price move with the bitcoin price move towing them along in every move. My resolve will be strong for a bitcoin bullrun when this happens else this is going to be followed by a long time dump.

 It's just my thought, so you think about it and give yours!

It's probably one rare case that altcoins didn't follow bitcoin's spike. On the other hand, we are still in the heart of the bear market, and still altcoins investors are very reluctant to put their money on altcoins. Or it could be that they are putting their money on bitcoin right now to jump with the hype of the Bitcoin Spot ETF approval or the listing of such ticket.

And if I'm not mistaken, the price hits $35k, the highest for this year, although it drop a bit to $33k, but still it's a good price to hand at this point of the year. Because it might coincide with the majority prediction that the price at the end of the year will be around $40k-$50k. So just a couple of dollars to hit that price. Let's see if this positive sentiments will continue.
752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 25, 2023, 12:09:52 AM
NBA basketball is on TV tonight! It’s back baby!
I was so excited, but when I read the article about Bradley Beal (back) being unlikely to play in the opener against the Warriors, as per Shams, my excitement disappeared and turned into disappointment. This is so disappointing because some fans might say that if Bradley Beal had played, the Suns would have surely won in case the Warriors won. Since Bradley Beal will not play tonight, I'm going to pick the Warriors.

I’m not sure the Suns need Bradley Beal to beat the Warriors. However, I also don’t think the Suns have had enough time playing together to be able to beat a team with as much history playing together as Golden State. I really don’t know which way to bet this one, but I’m leaning towards the Suns. The Denver/LA matchup is another tricky one, but I’m leaning Denver.

I think Denver takes this one by double digits.  Think it's also going to come in with a low score.  Something like 112-100.  I think the over under is around 228.  I can see the Lakers coming out of the gate slow.  Lebron and crew get better as the year settles in.  Maybe I'm off but that's what I'm banking on.  Think the Suns game actually ends up being the game that comes down to the final minute.  Just hole we get some good games out of tonight.

They have a huge lead entering the 2nd quarter. It looks like the Lakers are still making some adjustments as they have a lot of new players in their roster trying to read the new plays. As usual Jokic started like just like year and with 10 points already.

Oh, that's too bad to hear that Beal is not going to play at the opener of this season. I guess everyone here is excited to see him with Phoenix and how he will blend with KD and Book. So we need to wait, and with that, I'm not surprised that the Warriors are favorite going into this game.

So Warriors -2.5 @1.88.

Bad news for the Grizzlies just as the season is about to kick off. Their center Steven Adams is having knee surgery and will be out for the entire year. This is especially bad in my opinion because the Grizzlies have issues and Steven Adam’s is a great person with a lot of influence over his teammates and I think a big part of the reason he’s on that team is to keep Ja Morant in check.

I saw this news earlier and I feel bad for the big guy because he could been a big help to them because they needed him as their center, thankfully this is just the start of the season and they could easily fill that position right now. Or their bench players will have a chance to shine because they will be given more minutes right now. He will still be there giving support for the team on the bench and advising them always.

Isn't it though that he was injured from last season ago? correct me if I'm wrong that's why he was absent in the playoffs and most likely he was a big factor why they've lost their series? So I think he could have re-injured again, or this could be a different one, (again I'm just basing all from my memory, and it could be groin injury before). So if this is the case, they yes it's very bad news for the Grizzlies as they are trying to enter the picture in the West for this season as the last two where like for them to get that needed experience.

But they still have Jaren Jackson to be their man in the middle. However, the presence of Steven Adams will be a big plus factor for the team. I mean we all know how he did the dirty works specially in setting picks for Ja Morant and then the offensive rebounds. Surely he will be missed again at the start of the season.
755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thurman Vs Stanionis WBA world welterweight December 9 on: October 23, 2023, 03:30:53 AM
This is a 50:50 fight for me, but I think Thurman will prevail. Stanionis isn't a fighter of Keith's level. Even though Thurman is inactive, Stanionis is also inactive. Even though Thurman is much older than Stanionis, I don't see how the younger fighter's age advantage can defeat Thurman's vast experience.

Stanionis isn't special. He's not a rising star. Thurman on the other hand was once a star. He had the power and the skills. Although he's not anymore in his best of shape, neither is the young Stanionis.

Stanionis though is a belt holder at 147 lbs, WBC which him and obviously the unified champ Crawford hold as well. But we all know how f**k up boxing governing bodies as they have a lot of belts, interim, regular champion, etc etc.

So I don't think it's fair to say that he is not a rising star. In fact, he had a schedule fight with Spence back then, but it was not push thru because again, there's corruption and that's why we haven't seen mandatories being enforced by this body.

So yeah, it could be 50:50 as Thurman has a long lay-off, doesn't look good against Barrios although he won the fight. But Stanionis though is also coming from injuries that has been sideline him for a while.

756  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the need to be known a requirement to qualify for a loan(s)? on: October 22, 2023, 09:07:17 PM
I have come to realize that our traditional local banks only really give out loans to persons, or organizations that are known either online or offline and has a location with documents to proof their existence.
Same goes for those who use loan apps. You have to at least identify with the verifications stressing on passport, state of residence, age, and the funny thing is that your device location will be required to be turned on while doing all this or even applying for the loan.

Not taking sides, but this is pretty much self explanatory, I mean traditional banks will ask you a proof of existence so that they will know if you have the ability to pay or not. As for the loaning apps, it's the same, but what I don't like about this loaning apps, is that majority of them are really going after you if you missed one payment and they will go to the lengths of embarrassing you in social money specially in Facebook.

I have no doubt my observation is applicable to even crypto currency lenders, because even these days the P2p system isn't as decentralized or anonymous as before where we think we were trading with bots or fake people/scammers.

P2P it's very hard, you really need to be very careful. Although there are platforms like Binance who has P2P features, it doesn't mean that it is safe. You still have to do your due diligence to check the accounts that you are going to deal with.

Is there any truth to the fact that an individual needs to be known in any place before they can qualify to receive loans?
That is, is the need to be known or identified really required to qualify for a loan?

For traditional banks and loaning apps? unfortunately yes. Even if you try to open a bank account, they will ask you a lot of documents and you will be forced to submit.
757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 22, 2023, 08:35:08 PM
Jack Catterall vs Jorge Linares, no knockdown happen, Jack did his best to score but Linares has avoided that knockout. So it's pretty much a chess game all throughout but Jack is clearly winning on points as his left hand always finds it's target.

So the score is all in favour of Catterall: 117-111, and 116-112.

We were expecting that Josh Taylor will give Catterall his chance for a rematch as a domestic rival. But we all know that Taylor chooses to fight Teo Lopez and he was dominated and lost his belt. So there's no more hype of a Catterall and Taylor rematch.

Here are the highlight of the fight, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDt17FsjfW4

He fought at old Linares, so it should be an easy fight for him. However, Linares didn't make it easy for Jack, although Catterall has the power with this left hand, (not surprised that he should have won against Josh Taylor back then, and why Taylor didn't give him a rematch). But Linares seems to be in the best shape of his life that's why he was able to stand up until the 12 rounds.

So let's give props to the old champ, but with this performance, he should retire for good. He was a good 2x champ back in the days, knock down Loma during their fight, wobbled Haney. But now he is no longer in his prime and time to hang up that gloves.

As for Catterall, Teo Lopez could be a good fight for him next, for a title fight in the US.
758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: October 22, 2023, 01:24:45 PM

In this sport, we all know that it's not impossible for the heavy favorite to lose the fight, just a single solid lucky punch that converts
Tapales road to win will take his name on top!

Upsets, that's what we call them, and they can happen in any combat sport, not just in boxing. Pacquiao wasn't always the favorite before he became a legend; he had to challenge and defeat formidable opponents to become the only eight-division world champion. So, it's entirely possible for Tapales, especially since he's putting in the hard work, trying to find Inoue's weaknesses and exploit them.

However, please take note that fans often base their expectations on past results, and Inoue, who is currently a top pound-for-pound boxer, is naturally expected to win. But remember, it's just an expectation.

Upsets do happen, but they're not a frequent occurrence. So, as a bettor, you'd usually pick the better fighter to win. However, when you're supporting your fellow countryman boxer, it's a different story. You might not objectively assess who the better fighter is, as your decision could be slightly biased.

Tapales has the history of making a upset though, like when he won against Akhmadaliev. So he really knows what it is going to be mentally going to the fight being a underdog and no one expects you to mean. So I think this is already a advantage for Tapales, at least his confidence is very high, and from what we read, he truly believes in himself that he can beat the Monster.

So it's just a matter on how he will execute, his team could have a perfect plan laid-out already, picks the right sparring partner, maybe someone of a big puncher and see how Tapales can absorb it because we all know how Inoue's power is. But even if they have a tight perfect plan, if Tapales can't execute it because Inoue is too good, then I don't know how Tapales can win here, just saying.
Did make out some search out of that fight which thanks for that: https://youtu.be/Zi7QVPbWZ90?t=734
So the fight did really end up with split decision which it isnt really that bad since there's no KO ending but still a win a win. Tapales would really be needing up to some changes
which i could say that he should be working up with his defense basing up on the fight observation but when it comes to power then it there but he should really be careful
with those Inoue's body blows because you would definitely be putting up yourself on danger if you do just neglect out or being that careless.

Upsets could really happen and i dont really remove the possibility but of course Inoue's team arent really that making those things to happen.
Both teams are really that in preparation on beating up and using up and taking advantage on whatever weaknesses that they do have.

It was a great fight by Tapales against Akhmadaliev. That time Tapales is the challenger but he sure acted like the champion and then dictates the fight in his own term. And then his strategy, it's not that bad though, I mean every time he will hit Akhmadaliev, he will go close to him and hug him which makes the impression to the judges that he is winning the round.

And that's why there are no KO, it was more of a chess match and it was Tapales who really executed their brilliant game plan. And Akhmadaliev wasn't able to adjust, although he has his moments, Tapales has gain momentum already that the judges give him the fight. But as you have said, there's still no blue print on how to beat Inoue as he doesn't have any weaknesses that Tapales might exploit.

A few days of rest before the official start of the NBA regular season. So it seems like almost all of the teams are ready except for those rebuilding teams and the unstable Philadelphia 76ers who still have Harden but made a personal excuse to leave its training camp.

The start of the season always excites me as teams will try their best to start strong. It enables them to observe if they need some trades before the deadline and necessary adjustments.

As we've seen, Victor Wembanyama is NBA-ready and so is Chet Holmgren although the latter seems to have better teammates so the stats might favor the former. But it will be very interesting to see these 2 giant prospects.

Yeah, and they are going to fight for the Rookie of the Year award this season. Chet Holmgren didn't play last season, so this is his first year and so with that him and Wemby is vying for that title. But I guess the hype is no longer on Chet, and others says that he is overrated. But we will see. OKC is also featured a lot of young talents as well and I think as compare to the Spurs they are much better with SGA.

But I think Wemby will shine more just like what we are seeing in the pre-season games. He perhaps has given us a glimpse of what the future will be for him and the San Antonio Spurs. But assuming that both of them will be healthy this season? I think Wemby will have the edge for the ROTY award.

I've had my digital footprint already embedded over the internet, if people and ad agencies ever decided to reach out to me to talk about my car's extended warranty, they could and they would. That's why I don't really care that much for my privacy especially in the case of gambling sites asking for information so they can allow me to gamble. I would be more than happy to verify my existence and have the chance to gamble than be stingy about it and not be allowed to. There's also just something about casinos who ask for KYC, something along the lines of security cause you know they are really paying cause there's no way in hell they're going to spend that much money and effort to implement a KYC feature if they're going to dip on their customers.

And I think once you created an account in social media, for sure they have your digital footprints already and it's hard to erase it. I have seen my footprints even in the early 2000's still in the Internet, (remember Lycos)? So yeah, if we think about it, maybe some of us doesn't care about the KYC or privacy as everyone is already on the internet like 15-20 years ago and their data are still there no matter what. It's that recently, specially when bitcoin or crypto was introduce, we somewhat become aware that we should stay anonymous.

But it is what it is now, it has evolved, regulators wanted to know everyone, and they don't want someone to hide on the guise of being anonymous in crypto and then do bad things, (hacks, scams, money laundering and others). And even if you go to land base casinos, you may want to get a card and avail it so that you can get mileage points and use it later. So you fill up everything to them. In case that they are hack, then obviously, your data can also be leaked just like in online casinos or any other crypto related services.
