I don’t know how serious the trade scenario of Karl Anthony Towns for Damian Lillard was, but apparently it was serious enough for Portland to comment that they don’t want KAT. I’m a little surprised by that, as I don’t think they’re going to be able to get a better player for Dame, but maybe they just want lots of draft picks or something.
That is a big sign that the Portland Trail Blazers are now looking forward to rebuild their team and carve out a new franchise image from the future picks they could get out of Dame because they specifically denied the Timberwolves request in giving KAT and some other future trades in-exchange for Dame Lillard. Furthermore, Blazers are seems to be still sticking with what Dame wants by giving the Heat a chance to make a good trade but up to now, there are still no signs that both teams are going to agree with something to make it a done deal. I think when Dame requested trade, the Trail Blazers realized that it's time for them to move forward. And most likely it was that sign, so the y sign Jeremi Grant with a huge contract and perhaps he will be their next corner store for their franchise. But they don't want to give up their future picks and that could be the problem that they are facing right now. Maybe Miami is demanding some future picks to them that they can't really decide whether to take that risk or not. |

This looks more like bitcoin may decrease more? That is what it seems to me if bitcoin can go below $29200.
What do you about this?
and that had happened mate, because yes we even fall down to 25k and still falling , it is a bad sign for August but we can see it growing in the coming months. The coming months we should be all looking at is by next year not this particular year because it seems like bitcoin won't go above the expected price of $35k before the end of the year. Even if bitcoin crosses that amount, many investors won't bother to sell their Bitcoin as their case may be. They will still be waiting for the bitcoin bull run to happen by next year or two upper years(2025). So let this August keeps being a bad sign as long as it doesn't stop someone to invest with the amount they can afford to lose without a problem This is just another bump for us this month. We are still in the $25k right now, I thought that after everything has settled down, we should be at least gaining some grounds and could be just above $26k. But don't think that we won't be recovering, it might take some time but this is just another perfect opportunity to accumulate. And just let this this decline pass by in the next month or so. |

In an interview on the Joe Rogan show, Terence Crawford expressed his desire to become a three-time undisputed champion and revealed his plan to move across three weight divisions to potentially face the victor of the Canelo vs Charlo bout. If this scenario indeed unfolds, I'm curious to know whom you're supporting to win. Please feel free to share your insights on this matter.
Well, Canelo are most likely going to win against Charlo, but who knows - so I'm still taking the scenario of Canelo vs Crawford lol. The weight differences are the thing that could hold up this fight to happen though. Canelo needs to come down and Terrence needs to come up a huge weight, both are risky for them. It could be draining for Canelo and something for Crawford that would affect his body conditioning and performance. Though nothing is impossible if they agree at a catch weight just because the fans are craving for it, then I guess a massive money involvement could make things possible. Canelo stresses that he can't no longer make weight below 168 lbs, so it's going to be in the ball on Crawford to go up in weight in 3 weight classes if he wanted to have a fight with Canelo. And it was really Crawford who are going to test himself here, to be as great as Pacquiao. And I heard one boxing analyst says that if Crawford goes up and fight Canelo and beat him, he will be greater than Floyd but it is up for debate. |

If you must follow or use the services of trading signals which is not bad in itself you should do so smartly. By smartly, I mean that at the beginning it is all about following and understanding the thinking process behind those signals and learning everyday. If you insist on using them, do not do so blindly, validate each signal provider by putting in the work. Record their past four to six months' trades on a spreadsheet and check them on historical charts. After you have done this, you may now proceed to choosing the ones consistently in profit despite their losing trades. The advantage is that they will help you reduce your time spent in analysis. This is one of the best ways to make use of or follow trading signals channels or services. What is your opinion?
Not sure about trading signals though, if it's free then yeah maybe, why not subscribe to them and see how good their signals are. However, if they are going to charge you with huge money like monthly fees, I would stay away from that signal. Just remember that there is no exact science in trading, it's either you are going to get lucky and win and lose some trades. It will not be always on the winning side or profits regardless of what pattern or used the services of trading signals. |

what i only observed was the way bitcoin moved down to $24,200 before rising back to $26,000 so what next should we expect again and the week is gone, maybe after the weekend, next week may bring in another luck to have that green indication but for now we are still in the dip.
Majority of the investors are looking at this dip as an opportunity to purchase and hold for the long term and hence the price is recovering slightly and even if the market goes down further, there is nothing to worry for the long term investors as the price will bounce back. It is not a huge surprise seeing this correction because the market was stuck for a while around $30k and some were anticipating this correction  . I guess it's more of the whales filling their pockets and happy to see the price going down again and probably laughing their ass off to those newbies who panic sells as they can scoop cheaper bitcoin again. It's that advantage they got, and so they will take that without blinking an eye. But for speculators or average joe like the majority of us, most of the time we don't have that money to buy and then we regret and say that the price should not go down that hard again because (1) it's hard to see our wallets value going south (2), we don't have the capital to buy if that is the case. |

The answer to a debate that is constantly discussed on social media accounts and news outlets may open doors to different answers for everyone. So, Why Bitcoin Instead of Gold for you?
If this topic has been discussed before, I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me.
Bitcoin's total supply is known, but you don't know the amount of Gold that would ever exist or be mined. It cost a lot of money to transport gold from one place to another (country to country), Bitcoin serves as a medium of exchange (buying and selling ). Bitcoin is divisible into fractions, meaning you can own any amount of Bitcoin. Gold is controlled by the government (central authority ), Bitcoin is decentralized. As far as supply though, if I'm not mistaken, bitcoin has surpassed gold already in terms of supply and it becoming more scarce. And then bitcoin used by government as reserved could be one positive for gold. However, we can also used bitcoin as store of value, it is just volatile, but in terms of price, you can make money out of it, more profits as compare to gold. And then bitcoin is borderless, you can go and travel with just your bitcoin around the world and no body will know it. |

Is this the same Bald token that was being issued and traded in Coinbase's new Base network? I am very sorry to be again the messenger of bad news, however, if we are talking about the same token, this is a rugpull speculated to be created by Sam Bankman-Fried or someone who want to make it appear that it was him.  The rug-pulling of short-lived, heavily hyped meme coin bald (BALD) has a whole cast of characters, but is one of them Sam Bankman-Fried?
On-chain data suggests interactions between the memecoin BALD’s deployer contract and one of the wallets tagged by Nansen as belonging to Alameda Research - the trading company founded and controlled by Bankman-Fried. The data was cited by several blockchain sleuths on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter and later validated by CoinDesk.
Wintermute’s head of research, Igor Igamberdiev, tied another wallet address 0xccFa05 to Alameda, stating its owner showed strong technical capabilities and proved to be a savvy DeFi user: Trading on the first version of dYdX and Oasis, as well as voting on the first proposals from SushiSwap.Source https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/08/01/bald-token-rugpull-may-have-links-to-sam-bankman-frieds-alameda-data-shows/Rugpulled by Sam on FTX, rugpulled again on Bald token hehehehehee. Yeah, this is also what I read as well, the someone SBF is also involved or at least he has something to do with it. Not sure how he did it if he is in jail (if I'm not mistaken), but the influence of this guy and his name could really go down in infamy in crypto market if it is proven that again, he pulled this one that makes people losing huge money again. And maybe this is just a tip, and there could be more projects that we are not aware of that could be tied to SBF and Alameda. |

Yes, that is the sign that this is just for pure pump and dump coin, so yeah, more of a meme coin. And with that, there could only be one Pepe in my opinion. And it's hard to follow on that footsteps to be the biggest one for this year.
It's a new trick to fill the pockets of developers and steal depositors' money. Pump-dump is very good at first, and suddenly you discover that everything was bad had it not been for some of the powders they added to make things pink, but this project is bad from the beginning, there is nothing to indicate that it is a good service. I agree, this is a new way to fill the pockets of developers for some money from them investors. And when we think that they are good and genuine, suddenly they will do a rugpull with millions of dollars with them. It is the sad state of the crypto market specially with this meme coins. But the problems is that there are individuals who still invest even though the sign is there in the beginning that this project is nothing but just a meme and pump&dump projects. |

It was reported that SpaceX bitcoin holdings which amounts to $373 million according to WSJ has been sold. This came after it was reported that WSJ discovered documents of SpaceX financial records. But this doesn’t add any substantial evidence because they didn’t report any information whatsoever as to when the sale was done and Musk himself didn’t disclose anything even after this news broke out. So we could simply say it is just speculation by People.
I agree with you, I also do not think that the reason for the decline is the sale of SpaceX holdings because as you mentioned, Musk himself did not reveal anything after the spread of this news. In addition, it is unlikely that Musk would sell his Bitcoin holdings at a price lower than the purchase price, this is far from businessman thinking. There may be more than one reason for this sudden decline, including, for example, the interest rate hike in the United States of America, as well as the news of huge sales and long liquidations in many exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and others. In any case, yes, there is no need to panic, because this is not the first time, and it is certain that Bitcoin will return to its position soon. I too believe that SpaceX is not the cause of this drop. It is not uncommon for large amounts of bitcoins to be bought and sold on the cryptocurrency market, and this is usually not the cause of a large drop or rise in price. Just now someone successfully created a rumour that caused a panic. We may not know the real reason, or if it is something serious, we will find out about it later. There could be deeper cause of the massive drop, it could be SpaceX or some bad news in China that I read. Regardless though, we should remain calm from this kind of downward spiral, it's not the first time that we suddenly see the price going down fast without any rational explanation, so this is such one good case. Maybe when everything settles down, we will finally see reasons, but for now, no need to panic sell, just saying. |

Joshua’s Promoter Giving Wilder Negotiations 2 To 3 Weeks Or AJ Will Fight In Nov Or DecBy Jake Tiernan: Eddie Hearn has put a 2 to 3-week timeframe for when he wants the Deontay Wilder fight wrapped up for Anthony Joshua’s mega-fight in January in Saudi Arabia. Hearn says if it’s not completed within two or three weeks, he could start looking for a fight for Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) in November or December. This is an important piece of news, and from here, we can track the progress of the negotiation. Hopefully, Wilder's camp will respond promptly and not waste time in ensuring that this significant fight will take place. What AJ's promoter is attempting to convey is their desire for an immediate response. If they can't secure an answer within that timeline, they will proceed with their business plans but with a different opponent. If I'm not mistaken, Eddie Hearn has been talking about the Wider fight, even before Joshua was supposed to fight Whyte/Helenius. And that fight is treated as a tune up fight for Joshua and it just so happen that Helenuis got knockout and so Joshua's confidence is back at all time high. And with that win, they are on track to have a fight with Wilder and hopefully it can happen this year or early next year. Doubt that the Wilder fight with Ruiz is going to push as he might go directly to fight AJ in the Middle East for more money. Here is the update of supposedly, Ruiz vs Wilder mandated fight by the WBC, and it's not happening, hehehe, The WBC has abandoned its prior attempt to determine a mandatory challenger for the heavyweight title.
A previously ordered Deontay Wilder-Andy Ruiz title eliminator is no longer required, the sanctioning body ruled Friday. The fight never had a chance to take place given recent events, including ongoing efforts for Wilder to next face fellow former heavyweight titlist Anthony Joshua likely early next year in the Middle East.
https://www.boxingscene.com/wbc-abandons-wilder-ruiz-final-eliminator-revisit-mandatory-process-november--177049So it just shows how corrupt WBC and the Sulaiman,  they initial ordered a fight between the Ruiz and Wilder and then later change their decision not to and allow Joshua (as he win against Helenius) to fight Wilder in the Middle East. And for sure, as Eddie Hearn secures big money from Middle East, the Sulaiman's has a cut on it. No surprised though, it's obvious that it was just a front for WBC to order this fight. I mean if everything didn't go well with the AJ fight, then they might as well go with the Ruiz fight. But now that AJ won, and so WBC step aside their own ruling and let Eddie Hearn do the rest for the negotiations between AJ and Wilder to fight in the Middle East wherein there is a lot of money to be made and definitely, it will have to trickle down to Sulaiman and his corrupt WBC body to have a slice on that big pie before allowing Wilder to fight. WBC knows that there are a lot of money to be made between a Joshua and Wilder fight, so this is their first option before Ruiz. And it make sense at all specially for boxing fans as we have been waiting for this fight to happen since 2017-2018 when both are still undefeated. Nevertheless it's not late to see it, and for sure boxing fans wants it even it is too late in their career. And as mentioned, the huge money that is going to be made here put Sulaiman on notice and to put on-hold the Andy Ruiz fight with Deontay Wilder. |

From someone who have claimed faucets almost all his days in 2016-2018 and managed to make some good money from just faucet claiming, I can't help but thinking how those running faucets at that time making money from it.
Since I don't see many people talking about this today I will like to ask for your help if any one knows of any places that I can learn about how to run my own faucet and how to make money out of it? .
Perhaps the reason why people are not talking about today because it's no longer effective to run this kind of business of advertisement. And most of the team it's not worth the time anymore, just saying. Running Doge coin and few other old cheap coins like Litecoin Faucet is still doable, I can even add the likes of Shiba too, where do you think I should start from? What do I need to learn about?
Lastly, what advice do you have for my goal?
Well if you have some website to advertise that is related to crypto or altcoin in general then maybe you can used this as part of your marketing. Just make sure though that it can be withdrawable after members reach something or at least amounts that can be reach. |

Not just smart but you also need to be very lucky to make that happen. And it just shows that it can be done, but as I have said, it's the combination of being have the money and then extreme luck to find the project early and invest with your money.
So you have to risk that $1000 and believed that you can turn it to $1 million in one day.
How many of us is willing to take that risk?

Here we go again.
Elon Musk reportedly sold more than 370 million in BTC, causing Bitcoin's price to drop by nearly 15%. It seems like everything he does has an impact. I find it hard to believe that he did this.
Elon Musk didn’t sold now but rather the recent news stated that his company total Bitcoin last 2021 is worth 370M in Bitcoin that they already sold but there’s no exact info on when and where. Elon holdings probably sold during the previous dip to 16k because the price will dip more than this current price if Elon sold now because of the very bearish signal on the chart. This dip is inevitable since Bitcoin can’t break its 30k resistance for a long time. Probably those who fomo buy before already secure profit since the price is not moving any further upwards. You are right, I did some research on the news that Elon sold 373 million BTC. But there is mixed information and no accurate information about Elon sold now and that is what caused this drop. While what you say makes sense, bitcoin hasn't been able to break through $30k for a long time and a drop in price is inevitable. But this price drop was really unexpected because the price fell so quickly and caused panic in the market. No one knows what will happen next, but I hope bitcoin won't drop much more. Yes, information is not that accurate and perhaps it was taken out of context by this FUD'ster and turn against bitcoin to create some noise and it has taken it's toll on the price as it goes down hard to $26k again. But I doubt that it will ever go down to $20k, there are a lot of support line along the way. And it seems that the panic has subside though. It has settle down a bit and I think it can go back to $28k at the end of the month and there will be no more drops. |

I’ll take it as this is just a short term setback for us. Elon Boy should better stay away from Bitcoin and the crypto ecosystem and not sticking his nose in this space again.
We did appreciated him back then last 2021 when BTC skyrocketed insanely but it was a dangerous parabolic curve that the Bitcoin bulls can’t keep up.
However, we can’t stop him from buying the dip though as Bitcoimn is open to everyone.
Yes, when we thought that he is out already in the market, suddenly we heard his name again and just like the previous years, it has negative effect on us. Nevertheless, as you have said, this is just temporary effect on us, we can take this dip and nothing will change. Everyone is still looking to accumulate at this price. And we all know that we will have the halving next year so it's good to see the price going down again and so we can stash for more in preparation for the halving. As for Elon, for sure when we have our bull run, he will suddenly comes back in the market. But smart bitcoin investors and speculatiors knows that he can't influence the price unlike before. |

So much for the Process then, Lol. Sixers has given him the support, but I guess when he won the MVP already, it made him think to chase the ring and not any individual accolade. And it's hard to see Joel leaving the Sixers, but I guess if he wanted to get out then there's nothing that the management can do.
Just weird though that the destination they want is Houston? Although Harden has a good years run in Houston, but it doesn't make sense for Embid to follow his team mates there though. Does Joel has a connection with the city of Houston?
There are contrary rumors that Embiid is quite happy to be in the 76ers. By the way, I also don't understand why this is about the Rockets. Embiid's value as a player is very high right now because he's a current MVP. So it seems to me that the Rockets have nothing to hope for because they actually have nothing to offer the 76ers for him. Furthermore, Embiid will obviously not be interested in such a trade because the Rockets are still an underdog team. Most likely it was just a rumor though, Harden wanted out and maybe he or someone just pulling then name of Joel Embiid here to as if shows that he also wanted to get traded after getting the MVP award last season. Well if Harden is not happy and doesn't want to get a pay cut then so be it. Sixers should trade him after a season. But as far as Joel Embiid goes, I think he has some loyalty to the Sixers team and wouldn't just leave like that. |

And let's not forget the impact of the first US BTC futures-based ETF listing on NYSE back in 2021. That thing kicked off a bull run like nobody's business. People are wondering if history might repeat itself. Could we see another surge if the SEC finally approves this one too? It's like waiting for a sequel to unfold, with fingers crossed.
Of course, it will have a positive impact on the bitcoin price for sure. But we can't do anything about it for now, we should wait if SEC will approved it near halving or after halving, then it might be good to wait. Personally, I'm all about hoping for that approval. I mean, it's not just about the price for me; it's about the wider impact. If the SEC gives the green light, it's like a signal to the whole world that we're moving forward.
Although if you think about it, we have been moving forward without the green light from SEC. So we can just think that with or without it, bitcoin can march towards the future and make new all time high next year as always will be, every 4 years. |

I don't think gambling is a peer pressure type of thing personally. Gambling is very singular in that as an individual you either win or you don't and your friends being in or out have no effect. I mean I guess to a certain point everything is but overall I don't see this as a huge issue.
Could be true in some cases, but for sure if you haven't gamble at all, there could be at least someone who is going to show you how to do it. Whether when you are still as young as in high school when someone is bringing some cards to play. Or some friends that you will ask you come along when he goes to casino and play or even online. So there is somewhat a catalyst for us and teach us how to do it the first time. And that could be enough for us to get go and play alone the next time we wanted to have that experienced. |

Is there any real place from where we can get jobs from other countries. If you get a job in a company then it is possible to manage the visa?
Are you talking about crypto related jobs? If so then you should have a lot a major in Computer Science or what the latest is, Blockchain Technology. And maybe if you can find jobs that is about crypto and apply, who knows, maybe the employer is going to hire you and obviously sponsor you to get a visa to work in their country. It's just weird though that you ask that because the current trend is that people love to work remotely or WFH status now. |

My question is this, why does the value of BTC decrease when the value of the dollar rises?
I don't know where you got this idea, as others have said there is no relation to the price of BTC to dollar. BTC is just given a dollar value though as we have to "exchange" this digital currency to fiat. But if you can stay full BTC and in the future people are going to treat it as sound money then we could have other options, and the exchange could be even in your own local fiat=BTC. |

Yes, this has been trending for the last couple of years, but not sure if people are really gambling or this one or just have some fun playing it. Although it can turn into gambling if money is involved and this could be considered as games of skills as well. And on the side note, seen Lebron doing the bottle flip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNLs9Uux7p4Take note that was 2016, that's why I said that this is kinda late. |
