Looks like another series of Minted Seats has surpassed the cost to purchase in held BTC, or in other words, original purchasers of these seats have reached ROI and are sitting on profits as originally sold 5oz Minted Seats are now holding $474.11 with another $29.71 pending in BTC under the threshold amount, over a 125% return!  This doesn't even include the silver value, rising seat price, or savings attached to the coin's seats!

A few of these "hockey pucks" are still available at https://nastyfans.org/mint

I saw a video yesterday where they made the case that 75 billion dollars sitting on S&P500 balance sheets is likely to move into Bitcoin this year...  The 1.5 billion dollar Tesla investment jumped the price from $30K to $50K, I can only imagine what 75 billion more dollars would do...  Breaking $100K by the end of the year seems inevitable at this point. 

Dallas is dangling Porzingis for a trade, so we'll see what they can get.  Whiteside is also now being discussed as a possible Lakers center...  Some moves are coming, that's for sure.

How about the All Star snub of Devin Booker.  I thought he deserved to be in.  Phoenix still isn't getting any respect around the league, but they're beginning to earn it.  I suspect a playoff run this year will change things. 

Shipped a few NastyMining wallets out today. These .9999 silver coins are beautiful. The only colorized coins I’ve ever done and I still love looking at them whenever I have them out to engrave.

There’s still some available at https://nastyfans.org/mint

Looks like Dallas is trying (and denying) to trade Porzingis to the Warriors. I don’t blame them for contacting Golden State. They’re the only team that could use the spacing and veteran big man. I don’t think it’ll happen though. 150 million dollars and a five year commitment to an injury prone player doesn’t seem like something the Warriors would do, especially after all their injuries lately. Even if Porzingis is a “unicorn.”

Not only does all the tagging not make a difference, but it spreads negativity and leads these users who wouldn’t have been able to scam anyone anyway turn to trying to cause trouble here. It reminds me of the saying, “fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.” You guys that go around tagging newbies really do seem like that’s the approach you’re taking to me.

As for the OP, you should lock this topic. You can’t go around making accusations because of what some random user on a third party site says... Who are you, owlcatz?

I’m just not in this camp. I don’t think Mayweather’s tiny ass could really do any damage to 50. He’d win in decision for sure, but I think 50 would have a fair chance of knocking him out if he could fight at 70 pounds heavier. I really don’t think this would be about money for either of them. They have too much negative history.

I still hope the day comes they let a heavyweight fight a lightweight. People like Mayweather saying they’re the greatest has warped the younger generation’s mind. I stand by the statement that Mayweather would get his ass kicked fighting a below average heavyweight.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a state do their own stimulus package before. $600 checks to low income residents and a lot of grants and fee waivers.

Has a state ever done this before?

Will this become commonplace?

Any other thoughts on if this is just another step towards universal income?

With transactions fees beginning to increase again I could see how it could make it more difficult for some users to use Bitcoin for things like this.  Depending on how users get their funds, combining inputs just to make the transfer to a gambling house could be very costly.  While this might not be an issue for everyone, it assuredly is an issue for some people, and I imagine that moreso than the price of BTC (you could just bet less) has an effect on users.  

I'd like to think my sports knowledge increases my ability to gauge a winner, but you never know I guess.  It's possible that casual betters know just enough to get them in trouble.  I think doing research on the event is probably more important than knowing your stuff.  Who is out, who got hurt during practice, who is going through a tough time personally, etc...  These are all things that are probably more important to a bet then knowing a large amount of information about the sport.

If it's not related to the fight, why else would he leave his brand new house and #1 rated podcast to move across the country to save money on taxes?  What else does this guy have in the works that could possibly bring him any meaningful amount of income?  I'm sure his previous businesses will suffer with him away, so if he isn't doing this to save on taxes from the fight, what does he have in the works that will bring him millions in income to make living/training in Puerto Rico worth while?

Wow indeed.  That's a life changing amount of money to win from a single bet.  Almost hard to believe.  Congrats to someone indeed.  I couldn't imaging having your life change so quickly.  Although if you're betting $500 on stuff like that you're probably not hurting for cash to begin with.  Definitely too rich for my blood.

Besides Harden putting up incredible numbers on great efficiency since joining the team, the entire offense changed a great deal.  Before they were relying on isolation plays almost every time up the floor.  That's why Kyrie was quick to say Harden is the point guard.  It was obvious from the first game that Harden would be the controller of the tempo.  Kyrie in my opinion isn't a leader and Harden brings another leader to join KD, which I think they needed.  Kyrie is the third fiddle on that team for sure.  Who knows how long he'll be able to stand that before causing trouble.

I don't know if I'd say the Hawks are a lock to beat the Cavs.  The Cavs have been playing pretty good this year with their huge front line.  I think they could surprise any team in the NBA with the right circumstances.  The Hawks seems like they depend a lot on their shooting too, which could backfire at any time.  Just my two cents, which is hardly worth that. 

I'm a bit surprised people still want to see Manny Pacquiao fight.  Granted I'm a casual fan, so that is probably why...  but I could live the rest of my life without ever seeing this guy in the ring again with anyone and be quite happy.  If you can't tell, I'm still mad I sat through the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight.  Was such a pathetic excuse for a mega fight...  I'd rather see Tyson's old ass in the ring than any of these lightweights, even in their prime.

I've been seeing a lot of Stake.com advertising around the internet lately.  Pretty cool.  I didn't expect to see so much advertising throughout the internet.  I saw a clip of some streamer and the stream was even sponsored by Stake.com.  You guys are really pushing the service lately and it shows.  Anyway, I thought you'd appreciate the feedback.  Keep up the great work!

How sure are you of that? I’m not sure those 2 BTC were ever on a coin and with no provably honest way to verify that the funding was done truly randomly, I’m sure anyone ever had a chance to win. Check the OP’s trust history. It explains in further detail.

Lonzo Ball has been playing like a man possessed since the trade rumors about him started heating up. I think it would be a shame for the Pelicans to let him go. I think him and Zion could do big things, so it’s weird they’re pursuing a future with guys like Ingram and Bledsoe. Almost seems like they’re expecting Zion not to sign an extension from his rookie contract to test free agency, which he should.

I watched Fury's interview with Mike Tyson on his podcast the other night.  I was surprised to learn that Fury was only 1lb when he was born and managed to get up to over 400lbs at his heaviest.  That's got to be one of the most amazing human growth stories of all time...  The guy has been through a lot growing up as a gypsy and from hearing his story it is easy to see how he got to where he is now.  The guy has been a fighter since his first second on this planet.

That was sort of my point.  Watching him discuss his move on his podcast, it is clear the move is about taxes.  You'd have to be expecting a big payday to do something like that.  For that reason I think the fight will happen.  If not, he's uprooting his entire life to move away from his friends to someplace he is certain to make less money and become less popular.  Knowing the kind of person he is, this would only happen if he's going to get the payday of his life.
