 I just took another closer look and I really do think this was inspired by my painting! There is a guy with money on the ground that I had not noticed...probably depicting bankers.

  Sun in the middle....frightened bankers on the right and ordinary people on the left .



While there are certainly some cool similarities, I really don’t think his idea was inspired by your painting (as absolutely awesome as that would be). This sort of ties in with other coins he’s made, and if I had to guess, his inspiration came from the Bible (or some sort of “holy book”). It just reminds me of things he’s done in the past.

But hey, I could be wrong 🤷‍♂️.  Regardless, can’t wait to get the replica in hand!
822  Economy / Collectibles / 1997 NFL Pinnacle Mint Collection Fine Silver Coins- Complete Set! on: October 14, 2023, 02:08:22 PM


I am posting this on behalf of a buddy of mine. Him and I are likely the two biggest collectors of Pinnacle Mint Collection coins. From 1996-98 NFL, MLB, NHL & NASCAR had a card/coin series (as some of you may remember).

There were all sorts of coins made for each year, but only 1 of 1 solid gold coins were made for each player and likely only 20-25 of each player for Fine Silver (NFL fine silver coins only produced for 1996 & 1997).. These were pack redemptions, making it all the more difficult to acquire.

This is likely the only complete NFL set you’ll ever come across again. This buddy and I got very lucky meeting a relative of a Pinnacle/Fleer/Donruss executive whom passed away and inherited these coins. Otherwise the likelihood of us completing sets (I completed my 1998 MLB fine silver set) would have been near impossible.


“Listed is the RARE, COMPLETE SET of the 1997 Pinnacle Mint Fine Solid Silver Coins! This is the complete set of ALL 30 coins! Set includes many Hall of Famers, such as Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, John Elway, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, and Jerry Rice! It is believed that only 20-25 of each coin was ever made! Please use the pictures as a reference. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind”

If you’re interested let me know and I can help broker the deal. Bitcoin is accepted as a form of payment. Questions, please ask!



Edit (example of what the boxes/packs look like as well as some of the cards which some have holes to place the coins in):

There’s a few links going around where you can get a replica of this beautiful one of one Roman Booteen coin. I’ve seen a few pop up on eBay as well as I was sent (thanks Tweet) this link from AliExpress - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805889914157.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.2.1a92f19cTXq3xr&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa



I placed an order for one. Will see what type of quality we are dealing with when it arrives and I will post a mini review here.

Cheers all- hope everyone has a great weekend.

So many topics like this each and every day it feels like, I wonder if there’s this many people actually this unaware of the potential harmful side effects of gambling, but I guess with all these stories, all the gambling help websites and hotlines I’m always hearing being promoted, I guess it’s a more seriously widespread issue than I realized.
825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: October 14, 2023, 12:43:49 AM
Football is great and all, but why can we only bet on the game when it’s clear that all people really care about is how many time the camera is going to show Taylor Swift, how many times the commentators are going to mention Taylor Swift, and when Taylor Swift will be leaving the game? I mean, Taylor Swift…

I was watching the Chiefs vs. the Broncos and on halftime one of the cameras was filming a bookshop which might have been near the stadium. On the the stand near the cashier were books about the NFL and beside these books were the books written by Taylor Swift hehehe.

In any case, are the Chiefs revenues and profits going down? Would it be shocking if this relationship between Kelce and Taylor Swift is fake and this was only another marketing tactic? It might also be working, I reckon.

Neither the NFL, the cheifs, nor Taylor Swift are losing money right now it's quite the opposite.  The NFL is better than it ever has been.  They are using this to onboard new fans (Taylor's fanbase) but it's not because they are hurting.  Just with any business you cash in on these opportunities.  Just sucks everytime you watch the cheifs you have to deal with it.  In the end people are going to get more annoyed and stop watching if anything.

I mean who knows if it’s really real or fake, though I’m honestly not of the conspiracy opinion on this one, I think Kelce legitimately is interested in Swift and is using/used his platform to make something happen. Good on him, I’d do the same.

But one thing is for sure as you’ve said, this is only a net positive for all parties involved money wise. Swift has her tour and movie coming out, the NFL brand is huge etc.
826  Economy / Economics / Re: What US can do with its dept? Genuine question. on: October 12, 2023, 10:38:10 PM
I hope that everyone knows that EVERY single country on this planet has plenty of debt to it's name.  Yes, of course the United States has the highest debt number globally, but there's also a reason behind that..the US is the worlds strongest economy, and therefore are able to pay their debt better than anyone else can, so this is why they are able to continue to build their debt. 

Now I'm not saying this isn't a problem, because it is..but just pointing out why it's so high compared to the rest of the globe.  How are we going to fix this? There's many ways, but the way I see it, the problems are just going to keep getting worse by those whom don't truly care, and only truly care about lining their own pockets...issues then left for future generations.
827  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in bitcoin and forget the investment on: October 12, 2023, 10:34:29 PM
I would agree with you that most of those "investing" in bitcoin should make a purchase/investment and let it ride.  I wish I had taken this advice from myself many years back when bitcoin was around 200 dollars.  That being said if you're good at trading digitial assets, have at it, but most people aren't..so trying to play the market, short term buys and sells here and there are likely less profitable than just buying and holding long term.  IMHO anyhow.
828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: October 12, 2023, 10:32:35 PM
As some have already mentioned I would imagine the reason he's doing it is because so many people are hitting him up for money now that they know he has some, and in his way of just avoiding it all together, it would seem he may be blocking most people out of his life for the time being so he doesn't have to turn people down asking for loans, as it's typically not a comfortable situation. This would be my guess anyhow.
829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 12, 2023, 10:30:50 PM
I would look up the definition of insanity if I were someone who's continually losing money gambling all the time.  But honestly if you're asking yourself this question, you probably shouldn't be gambling.  I would learn more about gambling, what it is, how it works etc before asking something like this.  People who ask these types of question tend to be the ones that end up with major gambling addictions (OP I'm not say this is you for sure or not, just if it is..)

I mean, Taylor Swift…
I feel your pain, last week the Chiefs were on TV and I was about to switch channels when I remembered that Taylor Swift could be at the stadium so I just watched another game as I did not wanted to deal with 30 cameras pointing at her during the whole game.

And when it comes to the first round pick of next year, the Bears and the Giants have been mentioned, but the Patriots are right there, I do not think Belichick even needs to try to tank, the Patriots are that bad, and it is for this reason I am all for Mac Jones remaining as the starter since Zappy could win us a game or two by mistake.


Seriously... at the beginning it was too much input for me but now this is more and more fun each week. Already in for the next season if you guys plan it.
This is the third edition of this league and it has done nothing but to grow bigger each year.

We will have a fourth edition, do not worry. Wink

Dude this has to stop.  I can't fucking take it anymore.  As some of us have discussed in the Discord chat group, I think Taylor is a sweetheart of a girl, I think she's a very positive female role model for young girls who make up the majority of her fan base, but for the love of god the majority of the NFL fan base is not interested in when Taylor is at a game, where she's sitting, who's she sitting by let along getting MULTIPLE Adam Schefter live updates during the game about her. 

She getting in that Kardashian type of territory with me, though believe me I know she's nothing like that swath of lowlifes. Speaking of what shitcoin scam is Kim promoting these days?

I was watching a couple YoutTube videos over the weekend having to do with bitcoin and Craig Wrights name was brought up.  I was shocked to see in the comments section that there are still so many people who support this utter moron.  He's so clearly not Satoshi, and Satoshi didn't spend all that time and effort hiding his identity to then one day come out as the creator.  I mean it just makes no sense at all.
832  Economy / Economics / Re: Honda Now Accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum As Payment Methods on: October 11, 2023, 05:37:47 PM
Wow!  I have to say this is something I was expecting but I'm sure glad to see.  In my humble opinion Honda is at minimum the 2nd best care company on the planet (I would say overall Toyota is probably #1).  So it really shouldn't surprise me all that much being that they are such an innovative company. 

I would love to see Kia be next because I plan on buying a new car soon and Kia has a couple cars that I'm looking at very closely.
833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 11, 2023, 05:35:03 PM
Well who doesn't think about quitting their job and winning the lottery lol.  I think that's a pretty natural human sentiment.  That being said, you can't win if you don't play and when it comes to big lotteries, I really don't play very often so my chance of winning is of course not very high. 

Personally I see the lottery and lotto tickets as a waste of money.  I'd rather put the money in some sort of shitcoin as the chances of "winning" are higher more often than not.
834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: October 11, 2023, 05:32:43 PM
My team is ready vs. Hueristic's Barbarians! I predict this to be an upset because the Patiots defense will for certain stop Josh Jacob. The defensive team has kneeled in front of Bill Belichick and promised never to repeat their very embarassing performance against the Saints, according to sauces.

Lol..I just took a look at your matchup versus Hueristic's team, and you've certainly got your work cut out for you, but it's not like you don't have a chance.  I'm not real sure why you have Derrick Henry out of the starting lineup and have Cook in over him..but..you've still got a solid chance.

I'm not sure Bill Belichick is done having awful games.  That team is god awful, and I just don't think he's the coach/GM he use to be.  To me he's lost a few steps and this could be his last year with the Patriots.
835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 11, 2023, 05:28:49 PM
I don’t know who at ESPN is doing their NBA rankings and predictions but I wish I could bet against them. After the horrible take on the Bucks upcoming season, they’re now saying that Zion Williamson is the 57th best player in the NBA. I could maybe see calling him the 20th, but 57th? If he plays in even 50 games this year he’ll likely be an MVP candidate…

Well I mean what do you expect.  I'm sure it's no surprise to you that ESPN has been going down hill for decades now.  Remember when SportsCenter used to be this great show we all look forward to that actually just gave out sports news?  Now we have to listen to clowns like Kendrick Perkins and Stephan A Smith babble about utter nonsense.

Honestly I stopped watching ESPN years ago, I can't take them seriously.

Man I'm a lucky mofo!  I of course can't thank Kryptowerk enough. I don't believe this is the first time you've purchased a ticket for me (as well as that goes for others like my boy Owl...it's much appreciated my brothers!!).

I look forward to getting this piece. I'm currently setting up my home office and hanging some Kialara and Cryptografitti pieces and this would/will make a lovely addition to the currently collection.  Muchas gracias!!!

I have a new LG Smart TV and one of the features is showing my favorite teams scores before and after the games start and I was shocked to see the "Chicago Bulls" pop up on my on my television.  I feel like the season just ended, I can't believe we are in pre-season already.

That said, it's going to be another ugly ass year for my Chicago Bulls.  Another year without Ball etc.  NO HOPE here, and that's depressing.

This question has been asked a good amount over the year around here and the answer is a simple, YES.  There are absolutely people whom making their living gambling.  Typically these are people whom live out in Las Vegas and tend to be banned by half of the Casinos because they're so good at certain games, but yes it is possible.  BUT, you really gotta know what you're doing!

The #Vikings plan to place WR Justin Jefferson on injured reserve because of the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday’s loss to Kansas City, per sources.

The exact timeline is TBD based on how he responds to treatment. But Jefferson is out at least four games.

It's JJover! Nice playing with you all, we try again next year.  Grin

What a shit turnaround of events! It doesn't help that the Vikings are such cunts this early in the season. Best-case scenario, they'd be 3-6 after the next four games. Jettas ain't sniffing another game rest of the season. I don't see it.

Three of the five teams Moon Coiners have faced thus far have scored less than 100 points (the highest being 107). I guess i'll need some of that sorcery going forward cuz i ain't winning another shootout, certainly not without Jefferson. My last three opponents: 130, 123, 130.

Not happy to hear that for you. Looks like it continues that a few of the fantasy monsters geht injured pretty quick these season. Ask ChiBitCTy... I guess he had the same feeling when he lost Chubb for the rest of the season.

On the other side it might be pretty useful for me since I am 1-4 right now.
If I remember correct you are the "New England Potatoes" and we should meet once again. I hope I can get my revenge from GW1 then.

Yeah but I lost Chubb for the season, I'm not sure Jetta is out for the entire year or just for a couple games? I saw the news this morning about him and Achane, tough blow for owners.  Nobody understands injuries more than this mofo here let me tell ya lol.

I'm also a big fat you know what.  I'm at about a 75% win clip for my bets this year.  Problem is I'm too much of a ...you know, to put some bigger money down.  Here's my last bet sheets ( I later bet on the ML for SF..which was stupid because I didn't bet enough or the spread like I should have/normally do..

I mean if it’s a lot of money to you, be careful of how much you’re “investing” in to Bitcoin. This post of hope on bitcointalk I guess is a good way to feel positive about your investment or whatever, just make sure that if that bitcoin value were to go to zero, that it’s not a huge financial burden to you.

Diversification is key, but stability is what should come first in any portfolio. Just make sure to remember that.
