Sharing a good long read.
NBA free agency 2022: What we learned during wild first weekend, from Kevin Durant's journey to Lakers' dreams

It's like the Brooklyn Nets just made an experiment but it failed. So what's next? A question that had been itching for many Brooklyn fans.
Durant wants a trade and I think Kyrie want the same.
They will be left with nothing if it happens or a roster with roleplayers unable to create chemistry or they could just stick with the plan and try the experiment one more time just to see where it will go.

Happy Birthday Jet. I didn't expect you are 80.  Shocked
Price of petrol that I remember when my Uncle asked me to go buy some and put in an empty gallon was like $0.25 per liter if I remember it right. Somewhere at that range.
This ain't over, other necessities are also going to be expensive as they will put the travel cost and the gas usage to each item. It will be worst than tax because you won't see it.

Gambling vs marketing? Totally different. Bad comparison. I take the trading and gambling as a good comparison because they are close at risking money but not this. MLM is a pyramid while gambling is entertainment with a risk. See the difference?
If this is how you see things then I'd suggest you stop gambling. Nothing is going back to you after losing a bet unlike with MLM you are trying to get back the money you invested by recruiting more.
824  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best time of the day to buy Bitcoin on: July 03, 2022, 08:54:48 AM
Buy it when the prices are down and you have money in the pocket. there is no ideal time to buy. There is ideal time of hodling. If you want a quick profit. I don't think this is the right time as the market is still in devaluation mode and the prices to me seem like, they will fall further. So yes you can stay assured that bitcoin like previously will rise. But  for that you will need to hodl your bitcoins for quite some time.
The ideal time to buy bitcoin would be too risky as you will need to real time watch the market as there will be some point where you can buy bitcoin at a certain point to be able to gain a huge profit. But still any time during the bearish market would be a great buy as previous indicator suggest that crypto will rise or pump after a few months. This also best apply for long term investors.
Yeah and it's not just the timezone, the erratic movement can fall at the time you selected and you will get rekt if you are doing the same thing everyday.
That is why there's no right time to buy. It could be pumping at 6 o'clock today but tomorrow it might not.
OP seems to be trying to attempt a cheat code by using time but it won't work.
This is money we are talking about coming in and out from an exchange that can be accessed internationally. There's no way it will easy to predict with a repetitive movement.

Dallas Mavericks

Jalen Brunson - Losing Jalen Brunson was not the smart idea for the Mavericks and Brunson had gone to the New York Knicks, this is a win for Brunson and a loss for Mavericks,

I won’t consider this as a loss if the replacement ill be better. Actually there’s a news that Dallas is in negotiation for Kyrie Irving trade[1] and this will be a great replacement for Brunson since Kyrie can carry the game without relying to Luka. Brunson is very silent on there match against GSW which is the reason why they always lose during 2nd half because Luka is already tired. They need to open more space to make this Kyrie Irving successful so I think we might more players leaving Dallas.

[1] https://www.si.com/nba/mavericks/news/dallas-mavs-trade-kyrie-irving-brooklyn-nets-rumors-kevin-durant
Luka and Kyrie. No, that may be an unwise decision if ever they will. All I see is Kyrie-Westbrook being discussed by the Lakers-Nets but not Mavs and I think the Mavs should be adding more roleplayers as Luka and Dinwiddie are already making great chemistry, I'd stick with that.
Agile forwards should be their focus if they are chasing small ball line up. Or, a better center position since Luka doesn't play fast game. He is good at isolation plays, attacking the paint, and creating room for everybody by sucking the defense.
They have Wood now, that tells they know what is missing.
826  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which alt-coin do you trust the most? on: July 02, 2022, 05:04:44 PM
Good one! You made the right choice. Buy and sell though is one of my weaknesses. I always fall in love with a project and keep it as long as I could.
But you? You did right, that's a brave act that doesn't happen with every crypto enthusiast.
I bought at $260 if my memory is right. I never sold it up until now because I do trust Ethereum to be somewhere in a good spot someday going head to head with Bitcoin. I wish my prediction is right but we did saw how far it could go so maybe it will come true. Instead of selling I usually buy more at bear markets.
827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inherited gambling on: July 02, 2022, 03:44:56 PM
Okay, I am kind of frightened by what you just brought up now. My father was a gambler but I didn't think it will be genetically be inherited.
I thought it was my friends who should be blamed with at why gambling had been my hobby and I still think of it right now. We use to play poker when we were kids so I got used to putting money at every game I would play and that's while I am growing up.
Maybe. It could be inheritance but I still don't think it that way. It could be my fault too by being too curious about it. Some fault from my Dad by letting us see what he is doing.

I understand where this is going and I couldn't agree more.
The big question. What can we do about it? First, it's their citizen that must wake up. If they (high percentage of people) are in agreement with what their government is planning then who are we to reject it.
You could stop using it if you think there's something fishy on what is about to happen or just abide by the rules.
They want to see you, whatever or whenever you do it. No more privacy. The face they are using is "money laundering".

So now the Jazz has twin towers? Rudy Gobert and KAT? not sure if this is a good combination and what will Rudy bring to them? I think this is a bad trade for the Wolves, except for his defense, I don't think Rudy offers something that will change the course of their team. On the contrary he might be liable again when small teams going to take advantage of Rudy in pick and roll and then simply get past by him in iso play outside.

We don't know what potential Rudy might bring to the Wolves and what's the reason behind this trade,

KAT and Gobert combination inside if they will play together, the defense inside might be tighter, but like what you just said
Gobert can be a liability once the opponents go small and attack outside. They can use their quickness to kill the defense,
the best example to that is the GSW, where everyone can shoot outside when duty calls them to take the shots.
Not just GSW but most of the teams now have that kind of play. I'd give it a chance though, there must be something going inside that we don't know on why they want Rudy on their roster. Decisions like this are not done without plans. I just don't like to see that big man being benched. He is still one of the best inside defenders of the league and it will be a waste if that will not be used properly.
Jazz though might be doing the vice versa, going small, it will be a challenge for the Spider.

There are nothing as strong hands. It's either diamond hands or paper hands, select which one of these you are.
I would be a paper hand anyway because If I kept HOLDing, I would have missed my gains. Now using that gains, I am able to accumulate more.
Invest, Take Profit, Re-Invest, Take profit. Don't let your profit die.  Wink
Congratulations then. You made some good movements there. I say you are the strong hand because thats not an easy thing to pull. A lot of courage is needed to sell at times when the price was near the ATH because many are expecting more.
I just took a slice of the pie but never pulled it all out. I was scared, and was part of the investors who expects more.
Unlike what the OP shared, I bought at a higher price and I am happy with it. Now the patience part where we wait and this might take longer if the economy won't be better.
831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 01, 2022, 11:01:07 AM
It's a simulation type of gambling, it doesn't really help you forget about gambling but it entices you more to do it after testing.
The more you do it and the more you win using a simulator will make you do it in real gambling because of the confidence you earned from your skills.
In short, it worsens the idea of forgetting about the gambling addiction.
If there's a cure, then it's to minimize it by being active at different hobbies or stop entirely by forgetting about making bets.

Never tried an Ethereum based casino yet but that's not because I don't support it. It's just that the fees will scare you off once you see it.
You will be doing transactions most of the time and you don't want to be losing more money on that. No one does. Ethereum right now became more of an asset than Bitcoin because of that problem they are facing and it will stay that way as long as there's no remedy being offered.
You can say I am a cheap guy but I prefer saving more to gamble than wasting more and unable to gamble anymore.
835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Type of Gambler Am I? on: June 27, 2022, 04:01:35 PM
There seems to be something missing with the kinds of gamblers in the list.
I see people who likes to gamble at certain events like Superbowl, Finals, and playoffs. Will they be in the Casual type of gamblers too? Because as I read the description about it, it is different than what I am expecting. They are not distressing but being playful in a big event.
And, as I keep on reading I can't see what bracket they should be at. Occasional gamblers?

Hancock has been a vocal crypto advocate. He said at the London Crypto Club in April: “If we get the regulation right crypto will not only accelerate growth but make financial systems more transparent and reduce crime. We must understand and harness the potential of new technologies, not fear and avoid their disruptive power.”
I love this part of the article. He is right about it. What's more? It's not just transparency and reducing crime like corruption and money laundering, they are also lifting a weight for investors making too deep research about every cryptocurrency they will invest at. That's the hardest part of all and time consuming for every small or big investor. We want to avoid being scammed so regulation will help a lot especially for new projects that are based in their jurisdiction. They don't need to worry about Bitcoin, it's the altcoins that is being abused.

I believe this year's draft will not bring in any superstars at all. I watched the "highlights" of the top 10, maybe someone out of top 10 could shock the world, but I watched top 10 only, and I can tell you that nothing really stood out for me.

These are highlights, so it supposed to be the videos that shows the best moves by those players, show their strengths, you do not see them missing 5 times in a row there, you see their dunks, their great shots, their blocks etc etc. And even with that, I didn't see any player that looked like it would be great. There is a tiny chance that rockets may have found a guy with jabari smith, but that is not because he looked special, it's because he fits their current core, nothing more.
Let's give them a chance. They are young, they are athletic and if they keep that up they will build more skills in NBA. Coaching here is different, training is way above since all of the trainers are being paid well unlike when they are in college. That is mostly raw skills that is not polished yet.
We cannot rely on just mere highlights yet because they will be doing more before the season starts and they will gain experience as time flies by.
Look at Ja Morant, all eyes were on Zion back then but now he is near the prime of his career at just a short span of time.
839  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Casinos Vs Ethereum Casinos on: June 24, 2022, 05:20:30 PM
If only the fees are as cheap as before then I may pick Ethereum as my first choice for crypto gambling as I don't want to waste more Bitcoin.
But that's not the case, its too expensive to use it and if you are the type of person who want to keep your funds safe after winning by means of withdrawing it then this is not the best option for you.
I'd rather stick with Bitcoin, with a range of 10-20k sats per tx upon withdrawal, I can still live with it.

It's China, what can you expect. Even that news might have been illegally sent out by someone just to leak it out. Whoever that is should be hanged.  Cheesy
Or, they intentionally leaked it just to create chaos. They banned it and now they want to bring it down as deep as they can by creating this kind of FUD.
How far will they go? Luckily, not many countries/people like them, so this kind of attack will go directly to the garbage bin or much better they will go against it, buy more Bitcoin and take the demand to its highest level.
