Put the blame on Irving if this team will fail, lol..

We haven't see the big 3 played yet, I think let's give them a little time, it will not work like a magic that the chemistry will be perfect right away.

For the issues I see on net with Irving we can really say that he is the main problem with his  team for now due to his recent activities made, also there are scattered  rumored that he don't want harden to be on their team that's why this adds up the spice on their team. But since we don't see the 3 star played together maybe we cannot tell yet if Irving will became a toxic guy on their team.

Let see if their 2 streak will be cut if Irving will came back or he can add up a huge win to their team since they blend perfectly ass a teammate.

Rumors are not proven, let's see when Irving came back, we might not see it outside the court but we will eventually see it on the court and their record this season. I believe we will not wait for too long anymore, Irving will be back soon and this trio will play for the first time.

Ya, his issues seem to be with his coaches and the media. I’m not sure if his teammates really care. They probably appreciate the extra playing time. Since they’ve been winning it isn’t really a concern about making the playoffs. I’m sure they’ll be fine, but from our point of view Kyrie will remain the most toxic player in the NBA.

Just a heads up... Yahoo mobile is offering live games for free right now as part of their holiday preview special. Enjoy the free games while it lasts. This includes tomorrow’s Nets game that may be the first time you see the new big 3 in action.

Watching him take down the Lakers last night was something special. Still banging clutch shots and doing whatever craziness is needed to help his team win. I never enjoy watching LeBron miss a game winner, but was glad to see Steph get credit for nailing the game winner last night.

Let's not forget the other player that step up on that night too, Kelly Oubre Jr. Lakers become comfortable and relax because of their lead. I'm watching the live bet on that game and the Warriors got a @9 odds at max during the 2nd Quarter of the game. I hesitate to bet and accept the risks as I already bet on 2 other games.

Let's not talk about the miss game-winner of LBJ since it shouldn't reach that point if they were able to maintain that large lead. The Lakers clearly choked on that game. But that win doesn't change the fact that Warriors will be a contender. It's only Curry that is consistent on the Warriors roster. Others are stepping up on a specific game but will have a different performance the other day.

I wouldn’t go as far as to call them a contender. I don’t think they’ll make it out of the first round if they do make the playoffs. Steph is for sure capable of lighting any team up at any time though and I imagine he’ll have more great nights of taking down champions during this regular season. Once Klay comes back though, they’re a top 5 team.

The first season of Mr Robot was so awesome and showed so much promise.  The drop off from there was spectacular.  I will always mourn what could have been an amazing story.  I can't think of a bigger dropoff from season to season with the exception of maybe Fringe.  That show also had amazing promise only to have the story butchered and dumbed down to the point where it was not even watchable.

Oh ya, XRP...  It's getting delisted so fast from exchanges I don't think the SEC result matters much.  The coffin is already being prepared and the hole dug.  Whether or not the final nail gets put in by the SEC doesn't matter for investors, who will likely see their investments dwindle away from here regardless.

In just 11 years of cryptocurrencies existence we've seen a series of shitcoins coming up, making a choice on which coin to hold aside $BTC & $ETH $BET $DOT $ADA & LINK is becoming difficult, how best can I get to know more viable  projects like the ones I already have? When will the proliferation of shitcoins in crypto space stop? Who will check mate the proliferation of shitcoins?

Shitcoins will never stop being made because it's too easy to make them and it's fun to run them.  Even if people weren't throwing money at worthless projects I would think developers would like to start shitcoins for the experience.  Not everyone does it to make money I'm sure, although the ones being slammed down your throat that pretend to be world changing innovations are certainly created with the goal of taking your BTC.  There are thousands of altcoins you never even know existed that were built as learning experiences, and that is where their value is. 

Buying shitcoins can also be a learning experience, albeit an expensive one.

Lebron's 3's are really off, Kuzma raising his hands though, thought that Lebron will make that 3 for the win.

Lebron was even lucky that even though he badly missed the shot, Davis was there to do an offensive rebound and a put back. Unfortunately, GSW are really determined to win, they made good plays down the stretch that's why they won, this is a well deserved win for them, being an underdog by 9 points I guess,.. those who bet on the moneyline are so lucky, and they deserved that for trusting the Warriors, even in the road.
Does the GSW is playing good again? I mean just like back then when they're  eager to win the championship...

Without Klay Thompson they're still a shell of their former self.  Steph is going to be able to get them some wins with his brilliant shooting, but they'll need Klay on the other wing to make a run deep into the playoffs.  Wiseman was exactly what they needed in my opinion, but I'd like to see them trade Draymond who has clearly lost a step and get a healthy Klay back if they're going to continue to be a threat to win it all in the future.

Looks like Kyrie will be back on Wednesday for the Nets Cavaliers game. I can’t imagine the odds will make that an intriguing bet but the the first look at the Nets big 3 against a below 500 team should be an easy victory. Maybe a good one to add to a parlay. Contrarians might find an opportunity to bet against them with the spread and hope the lack of chemistry holds them back. Either way, should be a fun game to watch.
9109  Other / Meta / Re: To truly discourage unlawful bitcointalk sales of account on: January 19, 2021, 10:08:10 AM
I don't understand why we would want to add any legitimacy to account sales.  The general view within the community is that we don't want to encourage that kind of behaviour.

I would say it’s the best way to fight account sellers. It’s the approach that the US is now using to fight drug dealers. Sure, the majority is against people using drugs, but legalization is ultimately the best way to put drug dealers out of business and make sure the profits from operations are used for schools and not funding terrorism.

Just like drug dealers oppose legalization, I can promise you account sellers are against the forum selling accounts. There would be no better way to stop the profiting from account sales and that is why the most vehemently opposed to the idea are those who would be most hurt by it (account sellers followed by insecure power hungry individuals who think a useless forum title carries importance).

As others have stated, metamask is a good option. One thing you can say about ETH, having things like metamask and uniswap makes Bitcoin feel like outdated technology. It’s a shame that Bitcoin has had it’s superior technology limited to make the user experience fall behind these competitors (or not-competitors if you are on the store of value greater fool train). Back to the topic though, give metamask a shot. You’ll be surprised I think with how simple and user friendly it is.

Steph Curry is a killer... Not seeing him play for so long you can forget that he’s the best shooter with a basketball mankind has ever produced. Watching him take down the Lakers last night was something special. Still banging clutch shots and doing whatever craziness is needed to help his team win. I never enjoy watching LeBron miss a game winner, but was glad to see Steph get credit for nailing the game winner last night.
9112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: January 18, 2021, 06:17:04 PM
Is today the day we see the new Nets Big 3? Part of me thinks Kyrie isn’t done with his prima donna attention grasping thing yet but you never know. He’s probably also looking forward to collecting paychecks again after getting hit with over $800K in fines so maybe we’ll get the show we deserve today.
9113  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Any riots are stupid how the people so stupid? on: January 18, 2021, 06:13:27 PM
Do not ever underestimate the stupidity of people. You will be constantly amazed. Most people are stuck so far in the past they don’t even understand the things they’re mad about or how their actions effect others. They just cling to the first thing that they can pin their anger to and run with it. Some people just want to scream out of frustration and care little about the overall effects of their tantrums.
9114  Economy / Reputation / Re: ~OgNasty's self scratching on: January 18, 2021, 06:07:57 PM
Can you clarify what this is about? As I understand it, you mean that OG returned 500 bitcoins to Theymos, but throughout the entire storage period, he operated on it at his own discretion? I honestly don't remember the content of the contract between OG and Theymos, as I read it for a long time (and I can't remember where to find it).


OgNasty    2019-05-25        Held 500 BTC for the forum from 2013 to 2019.


Allow me. I was paid by theymos to hold 500 BTC. I returned it when asked along with all the alts theymos asked me to return. He gifted the remainder to me and left me positive feedback. Grin

Got a link for more info on this coin, perhaps the original selling thread? I’m surprisingly unfamiliar with this one. Kudos for holding onto it so long (assuming). You could probably trade it for a nice house now! Not bad.
9116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why would anyone use a betting broker? Have you tried it? on: January 18, 2021, 03:27:03 PM
In real life, I think gamblers use betting broker services because they can't bet directly, so they need help from people who can place their bet. I haven't use betting broker, and I think I don't need it because I am playing gambling with crypto, which I can directly visit on the crypto gambling site without any problem. Besides that, I think people use that because they don't want to get a problem with the police who can search for people who gamble in their city and arrest them if they caught people playing gambling.
Which is a high probability why gamblers usw betting broker. Well at some reason maybe they have been encourage by a broker and they are no time to directly place a bet on the site or the game that they wanted to place a bets but since the broker offers hisher service that a bettor find it convenient for him/her that's why maybe some of us here are using or willing to pay for a betting broker. But personalky speaking, i haven't try to use any betting broker yet.

If you have access to crypto then there’s not much of a need to use a broker. I imagine if most gamblers knew they could place bets directly using crypto then they wouldn’t use a broker. This is why gambling sites are among the most popular here. It’s a use case for Bitcoin that makes sense to a lot of people. In the future there will be many other successful use cases, but they’re all waiting for someone to create them.

I can’t remember when I’ve seen mining so profitable with GPUs. Now is a good time to use GPUs or sell them. It’s just plain a good time to own GPUs. I wouldn’t let them sit around collecting dust if you have them. Fire em up or toss them on eBay like you mentioned.
9118  Other / Politics & Society / Re: [POLL] Let’s say Trump did win the election... on: January 18, 2021, 07:16:36 AM
I can no longer imagine that.
He should probably resign himself to never being allowed to become president again...

I don’t think that is up to him anymore anyway. If Father Time isn’t enough to hold him back in another 4 years, and he hasn’t been destroyed personally by then as a result of all this, his impeachment trial should seal the deal. I’d feel fairly safe betting Donald Trump won’t be President of the United States ever again.

Zion had an incredible night against the Kings. 13-15 from the floor and a few posters to go with it. That guy is an athletic marvel. I wish we could put up money to get paid every time he dunks on someone.

It can’t go straight up forever. Corrections are healthy for the market and Bitcoin has also shown to have a pretty reliable 4 year cycle as a result of the scheduled block reward halvings.
