If a new moderator was appointed to that section it would be nice if they were impartial or independent.  I'm not sure having a snowflake for a mod is the best thing for political discussions as it was quite obvious the section was being heavily moderated in favor of liberal views previously.  I never even cared about the politics section until I saw that TECSHARE was being unethically moderated and decided to stand up with him about it.  Anyway, no mod is better than a controversial mod in my opinion.  People are free to click the ignore button if they don't like someone's politics, but everyone's opinion should be allowed.

I think the below quote should answer your question.  Nothing is needed on your end but to own the seats and wait to see if you win.  Good luck!

It’s always foolish to take out a crypto loan. With such volatility and at this stage in the game you might as well be taking out a loan to make a big bet on a sporting event you have a gut feeling about. There are many more stories of failure than there are success stories when it comes to gambling on assets with leverage. Don’t do it.

The whole situation and circumstances scream manipulation to me. I’m not sure what he’s up to, but it’s safe to say he’s got a plan and will profit from it. That or maybe he just has a wacky idea and wants to pursue it. When Tesla did announce they were accepting BTC it felt underwhelming. Maybe he wants that announcement to make a bigger splash when he’s ready.

Kevin Love exploded for 30 points and 14 rebounds against the Celtics. Given his recent lack of effort on the court this felt more like a tryout for a job as opposed to just a regular season game. It’s great the Love still has so much left in the tank. I think he proved that tonight leading his team to victory over a much higher ranked opponent.

Shipped out a few sets of these this week. Would love to see pics and hear what you think of them when they’re received! The engraver is getting quite a workout these days with the increase in Bitcoin’s price. Thanks to everyone who has been placing orders. Your support is appreciated.

I created an announcement thread in the collectibles section for this giveaway.  I figure that is where most of the buyers of the minted seats would see it as well as maybe bringing some new eyes on the project.  I want to thank everyone who voted 'yes' for this giveaway and it's great to have some new fun.  Good luck to all the seat owners!  I hope to hear about and see some of these coins once they're received by winners.

Elon reverses stance on Tesla accepting Bitcoin citing energy concerns.  Say it ain't so!  While he does leave the door open to accepting Bitcoin in the future, this doesn't seem like a good thing in the short term for the market and more specifically, this thread.  I intend to purchase a Cybertruck regardless of the payment method involved, but we'll have to stay tuned to see how this turns out as far as the Bitcoin aspect.

What a nightmare. Surely there’s precedent for this sort of thing though. I occasionally hear about fighters being disqualified for positive tests after the event. I never really thought about how gambling houses handle issues like this though considering they can’t take back paid rewards.

Drummond getting 18 rebounds was nice. I think that’s the first time he’s dominated the boards since the trade to the Lakers. That’s what I’ve been waiting to see. When LeBron comes back they’re going to have a massive front line. I’m already hoping they can get CP3 and Derozan on the team next year with some magic…

38 points to go along with 7 rebounds, a steal, and 3 assists.  Not to mention only 1 turnover.  The dude was on fire.  My poor Suns are getting torched all the sudden.  First Anthony Davis and now this.  That doesn't spell too well for their playoff picture unless they're trying to tank for a different seed.  I may need to take a look at the standings and see if that's a possible explanation, or maybe they're trying to stay healthy for the post season.  I hope there's a reason anyway, because if they're playing like this in the playoffs they won't see the second round.

Looks like the Pelicans came through and lost the game to keep the tank alive but covered the spread to keep their betting fans happy. Sort of what I thought might happen but I didn’t have any money on the line. I feel like late season NBA gambling is more about knowing the politics than picking the better team…

Don’t.

I’ve got ETH staked at Coinbase earning 6%. It feels as safe as can be for me, but I don’t hold a large % of my crypto portfolio in ETH so it doesn’t bother me much having it on an exchange. Plus, it had to be locked into ETH2 with no way to trade it, so not even I could steal it from myself until they unlock ETH2 for trading. That along with Coinbase being flush with cash from their recent IPO makes me think there is no safer place my ETH could be right now.

Rather than using a debit card to spend crypto (there are several out there), I’m more interested in the coming Coinbase card that will offer you free crypto back as spending rewards. I might have to get that puppy and set up all my bills to hit it. Don’t spend your crypto, earn more of it!

Looking to get in early on the pumps huh? Be careful and keep in mind the potential tax nightmare of jumping from coin to coin. Especially if you’re doing so on exchanges where you’ve provided KYC. They will most likely report your activity and leave you with a lot of line items to report.

This. I would think creating the mixer is the easy part. Jumping through regulatory hurdles and keeping the site online would most likely be the major challenges you would face and depending on where you are located, may be impossible to overcome. Good luck!

Isn’t this the company that just announced a major deal with SAFEMOON to help get user funds from fiat into SAFEMOON with less middlemen? Seeing such old scam complaints is definitely not a good sign for that arrangement. I hope everyone is able to get what they purchase.

I’m amazed mixers are still operating after all this time. It seems like they have got to be high on the list of regulators looking to shut down sketchy operations. I assume those remaining are probably operating out of interesting locations or doing their best to remain anonymous. I think it would be pretty safe to assume that regulators will be trying everything they can to arrest operators of high volume mixers as well as attempt to unmask their user base.
