https://protos.com/owner-of-8k-bitcoin-lost-in-landfill-threatens-to-bankrupt-local-council/I think him lashing out at the city council and threatening to sue them doesn't make bitcoin look good. wherever his hard drive is, if it's in that trash dump i don't see how even a data recovery expert could get anything off of it. it's probably been crushed, cracked, corroded, etc. lost cause. his big mistake was throwing it away in the first place but that was his fault no one elses. he lost those bitcoin a long time ago. and they're not coming back.  How does this make bitcoin look bad in any way shape or form? I don't think this makes bitcoin look bad personally. This story though has been a common tale over the years. I feel like I'm hearing stories like this at least several times a year. I feel bad for the guy, but be more careful with your valuable assets! I can understand too why the city council is not allowing him to go search for it. |

I use to get somewhat interested in the Coney Island hot dog eating contest that is held each year. You had at first Takeru Kobayashi who had perfected the way to competitively eat hot dogs (dipping the buns in water was his secret at first), and now the worlds best competitive eater Joey Chesnut has been quite entertaining these past few years.
I'm not sure I would ever bet on this though as I feel like cheating could be a big part of it.

Talking about stars sitting out… It’s being reported that Damian Lillard will not be reporting to training camp unless it’s with the Portland Trailblazers or the Miami Heat. I guess he’s getting worried that Portland is going to use his trade request to dump him somewhere in order to kick off their roster rebuild.
I don't really understand what Damien Lillard ever resigned with the Portland Trailblazers. I wonder if management somehow lied to him or told him they were going to do certain things but ended up not doing them. If I were him, I'm hoping I get traded to a contender, of course, as I just think his time with Portland has come to an end. |

What a brutal day for me. Got handed to in fantasy, lost jk Dobbins for the year in the process and then had to sit through the night game as a giants fan. I don't think I have ever seen a worse game than that one right there. I hope the season doesn't look like that all year
Without a doubt it was a difficult game to watch, the first quarter was not finished and I think anyone with some common sense knew it was over at that point, it was just a matter of how bad it was going to be, and it was really bad. When it comes to our league four games are decided already and the only ones up in the air are the NE Potatoes vs the Mind-Blowing Team and the Cows vs ChiBitCTy. Quite honestly if I happen to win, this can be completely attributed to Burrow dropping the ball, as the points ChiBitCTy needs are precisely the points Burrow failed to score against the Cleveland ‘Elves’. Yeah Burrow absolutely crushed me. I mean what a horrible first game after signing the leagues largest contract ever. Was a tough loss. I certainly haven't lost any faith in Burrow, but losing week one like that just sucks. In other new, Aaron Rodgers ruled out for the remainder of the season. What an absolute buzz kill !!! I mean 4 play in and already out for the season..I'm not the biggest Rodgers fan but I feel for him here. Absolutely sucks. |

I took time to research and observed that 75% of youths their problem is inability to develop their capital in capital market, most at times we are bless with so much that one find it difficult to control your finances or resources. I notice it usually affects people do not work hard to earn but probably the gimics or scams that makes them to make this money easily but after a while you discovered the person down why?
Now we should try this simple steps in developing capital either in savings, capital market or investment it's all same principle....
1. Don't spend more than you earn it kills capital through lack of wisdom
2. Development an attitude of reserving "spend and save in quote"
3. Read books on financial market and its products
4. Learn to engaged in investment
5. Be curious about things and ask a lot of questions
6. Don't underrated any money with you, no matter how small it is...its always have value towards something
7. Admire other people success and think where you're going too.
8. Save, invest and take good care of your health.
I hope this is helpful?
As a financial advisor I'm dealing with peoples personal finances on a daily bases. One of the biggest and most overlooked aspects of ones financial situation is the lack of running a simple budget. This is the ultimate way to make sure one is investing as much as they can be for their future retirement. It's amazing how few people actually run a monthly budget. I agree with much of what you said, study and educate yourself. Be active in learning! They really should do a better job of teaching basic finance in school! |

I went to a concert the other day (Nelly and Ja Rule for those that might be interested lol) and on the way there I mentioned bitcoin and a buddy whom was in the back seat of the care stated "bitcoin is a scam". I quickly turned around and kindly told him as a licensed financial advisor for nearly 20 years, no offense but you've got no idea what you're talking about, it's not a scam. I calmly told him how many cryptocurrencies ARE indeed scams, but that bitcoin was not.
If you ever want to know if someone truly knows what bitcoin is or not, ask them what a blockchain is. This for me has been sort of the ultimate was of "busting" people about their knowledge of bitcoin.

I just saw that team USA lost to Germany by two points. Close one. I find it humorous that people actually think that the USA has lost the title for "best basketball players in the world". Just looking through the box score ( https://www.espn.com/fiba/boxscore/_/gameId/401596632 ) you can see how team USA isn't filled with the super star players. If the US wanted to win this tournament, it easily could. I'm not sure we will see the US place it's best players back in the Olympics ever again, or at least anytime soon. |

There is no special basic technique. but I think, even if you rely on luck to get money in gambling it still uses basic techniques. namely for your money management. if you waste money here that's what makes it addictive. If you are dependent on gambling, it will make your relationship with your family bad.
Not sure what you mean by there not being a "special basic technique". I think that all entirely depends on what you're playing. I also don't think wasting money is what makes gambling addictive, I would say winning money is what makes gambling so addictive. Also, gambling, or counting on gambling for income does not necessarily mean that your relationship with your family will become bad. |

For me, the tastiest game looks like Bills / Jets, with Bills @ -2.5. I'm just remembering how awful Rodgers did in his opening game last year; now you put him in a new organization and up against one of the league's best teams... I should have taken -3 for some extra juice. Should be a pushover for Monday night. Fantasy-wise, I'm compelled to root for the Eagles this year since I have 3 players on that team, Brown, Goedert and Rashad Penny. -2.5 Bengals over Cleveland. I love the Browns this year, but Cincy is elite.
I also like this one. Line is currently -2 Bengals, might throw down on it. That was an exciting game, and I always love it when season opener is an upset. Any given Sunday!
Mahomes ended up putting up more-or-less exactly how many points he was supposed to, so I can't complain. However yeah, I should have had at least 5 more points from him -- it wasn't exactly his fault.. It will probably come back to bite me in the ass, we'll see. Dude, the preferred nomenclature is "Chinese American."   The line for the Cincy Bengals vs Cleavland Browns moved again, now at -1.5 Cincy. I hopped all over that one. Also took the Vikings at -5 (which moved from -5.5). Put another few bucks down on the Miami Dolphins at +3 over the LA Chargers. I might end up betting the Jets versus Bills game come Monday night (heck of a Monday night game!). I think that's probably a smart bet, brand new team for Rodgers, could take some time to start to click. The dude abides. |

still not gonna peel mine, I'm sure most others agree. No issues with non-2fa coins. Whoever chose to buy the 2fa's made a poor decision. he didn't keep keys and sweep funds. Maybe i'm so used to seeing scams in crypto that this doesn't seem like anything at all to me, hahaha.
I don't believe Tim is a scammer, I don't believe it was ever his intention to scam. But if you leave your funds in anyone else's hands, things can happen.
There’s nothing to believe or not believe, he stole funds from people, over a million dollars worth. You also don’t know if he kept the PK’s or not. He kept the 2FA PK’s, what’s to say he didn’t keep these? You trust this guy..Lol okay then. |

The whole "anit-college" movement drives me INSANE. Here's the facts, the majority of the human race are complete idiots. It's obnoxious how uneducated the average human being is, and this is leading to very noticeable "complications" with ourselves and our planet.
Now which one is a better invest just depends. Most people will not become educated unless they go to school. Those whom would really spend the time to give themselves a college level education, okay college may not be necessary for them (just depending on what they want to do for a living).

As others have stated the actual reason, and I appreciate them doing so, I have to say I feel bad for this guy. As far as I've been told, he was harassed quite a bit over this ordeal. I know someone who's actually met him and I was told that he's actually come to accept the whole thing, and is sort of "enjoying" the celebrity aspect of it. Which makes me feel better about all the grief he had to go through in the beginning.

I should also add I have now received the 0.4574 BTC from titan for my unfunded (2fa) 1BTC silver coin as well.
Thanks for sharing. Afaik you are the first to confirm this. With the known caveat of 45 cents on the dollar, this is the first 2fa coin I know of to be redeemed in years. I know others are in the process of looking over and signing the required waivers. I just successfully redeemed two coins as well. 45 cents on the dollar. glad to be done with this mess. I'm glad to hear this. This is of course what this thread has been all about, helping people get their money (albeit at a fraction of what it should actually be). Is there still no one who can share what was discussed on the second webinar? Would be really helpful if someone had a recording, I know (or belive) Tim said he would have recording of each one available... |

A mixture of both. In any sort of game there's always going to be some level of luck involved. Of course some games require more luck than others. In terms of card games for example, there's a lot of skill involved when it comes to playing say blackjack or Texas Hold'em. But in games like roulette, there's a small amount of skill needed but luck factors in much more so. When it comes to slots, it's almost pure luck. So..just depends.

Alright lets talk some games this weekend. I think I'm staying away from tonight's game, I just don't know what to expect..but here's the lines I like for Sunday..
-2.5 Bengals over Cleveland. I love the Browns this year, but Cincy is elite.
-5 Jags over Colts. Jags are on the up and up, colts...ehhhh
-5.5 Vikings over Bucs
+3 Miami over Chargers
These are the spreads I like anyhow. Few others that I like, but I need to see a game or two from certain teams before I feel confident throwing down on them.

People shouldn't be pressured in to doing anything other than being pressured to "do their homework". As a financial advisor I'm constantly pressuring people to simply look at their financial situations and do homework on investments and things of that nature, never pressuring them to take action to purchase anything, but simply taking that action to see if purchasing investments made since for their situation.
I'm glad things worked out for your Mom in this sense.

I personally have never been addicted to gambling, but I do have some very close friends who once have been or currently are addicted to gambling. It's heartbreaking as I know all to well how strong of a hold addiction can have on people.
Of those friends of mine whom were addicted that now are "better", I've simply seen a lot counseling (seeing someone for one on ones) as well as having called gambling addiction hotlines. You've got to really want to it though. Those who truly wanted to fix things put in the effort and it paid off.

This kind of reminds me of stock market trading platforms that allow you to buy/sell/trade stocks as if it were in a real account, but it's just a "for fun" or "practice" account. I utilized this once but just found myself not taking it seriously since it wasn't the real thing. I think it might work for SOME people, but feel overall it won't help most addicted gamblers.
However I'm glad you brought this up as I think he could certainly help some people.

Everyone was snagging all the good wide receivers and running backs so I decided to snag a decent qb before they were all taken. I would have taken Burrow but with him being day to day I didn't want to risk him being out multiple weeks.
Oh shit if you had taken Burrows over Hurts we would have NEVER let you live that down!!!!  You did make a QB run happen sooner and caused me to lose my train of thought and change tactics which ended up causing em to timeout and get Evans instead of Robinson so even though you didn't plan it your ripple had a huge butterfly effect!  IMO Burrow is the second best QB on the planet, and I don't think it would have been that crazy to take him over Hurts. Sure Hurts provides more upside due to his rushing ability, but I'm not ready to crown him a star player yet until I see another year or two of proven passing ability. Burrow has more than proved that, as the most accurate passer in the league. Anways..1 day now to opening game !!!! |

Regarding the Private Key (non-2FA funds) coins..you are INSANE to think those funds are safe and sound. Tim has beyond proven he can't be trusted. If you want to say a hope and a prayer that those coins will be there when it comes time to peel..by all means, just keep in mind you're insane (IMHO) for doing so.
Also, there HAVE been issues with PK keys, as not all of them were actually even funded.
Again..why trust him? But hey, it's your own money, do with it what you want.
