You can’t just lose the best shooter of all time and expect your team to continue playing at the same level. Not having Stephen Curry is a massive loss and I expect it’s going to be rough in for the Warriors until he returns. They should still be able to beat the below .500 teams and hopefully can keep themselves in the playoff race for when they get Steph back.
That's very important, they should also win some games so they'll be able to have a decent standing when Curry returns. Right now, they are playing like a very bad team, they lose by a huge margin and you can tell they already loss their competitiveness.

Looks like Curry will not be able to come back anytime soon as per this article.

Steph Curry may be out till after the New Year
That means the Warriors will continue to struggle, it's sad to see them like that but I still believe that this team will make it to the playoffs. The more they fall the better there odds are if we like to bet on the NBA Future. As per the NBA Winner betting odds, they are still at the top 3 with 9.00 odds, so bookies also believe that this struggle are just temporary.
It is obvious that they are temporarily bad, but lets not act as if they were winning every game before Steph got injured, they were out of the playoff picture even without him, and even worse without him now. So that puts us into a position where it's going to end up with something that is going to cause a lot of trouble for everyone, which is Warriors missing the playoffs after a title.

Lakers did that for example, won in 2020 and failed in 2021, and same could be with Warriors now. I hope that it doesn't start a trend where teams go for all-in stakes and win once and then get destroyed after their title, it would be a bad thing for NBA and overall viewership.

Both Mbappe and Messi were very outstanding in the World Cup, moreover, in the final, Mbappe was exactly super enough. Although his team lost to Argentina, we all know how the his performance of Mbappe, is really outstanding.
If both Messi and Mbappe are really able to unite their strength, solid, and also support each other, actually, PSG should be the strongest team right now. However, they also still have Neymar who is also very talented and his performance is also awesome enough so far. They also have a strong defense, like Hakimi that will probably become more motivated after the World Cup, and still many talented and string players there. But, we know that with this lineup, PSG was not able to rise the UCL trophy in the previous season. Are so many superstars of footballs in a club playing together at one time will not effective because of too much focus on different players? Well, the UCL will be started on Feb 15. And this will not be easy because PSG will meet Bayern. Actually, with the squad lineups, PSG should be stronger and win the match, except that Mbappe probability to transfer to another club as expected.
The rumour about mbappe to be linked to the real madrid is coming again and recently real madrid rumoured has been preparing very big amounts of money for mbappe. It seems like that PSG disallowed messi to show off his world cup trophy in parc des prince caused by messi was playing in the france and that will be emotionally affecting france's players who played for PSG.

I think that the decision that already taken by PSG was the best one. Messi must care when most of his team mates were also playing in france. Remember that so many argentina fans were mocking france's players. I think that PSG's decision being taken as a prevention to make sure there will be no conflict in the club caused by PSG will be facing bayern next year. PSG needs to make sure its club has a good environment for the players.
I feel like that is a normal thing to ask, not because of teammates alone, but because of the fact that they are in France. Mbappe could be upset that they lost, but he has one already, dude got his first world cup when he was 18-19 years old or something, and now he has scored a hattrick and lost on finals of another, that is sad but it is not the same as a guy who is 35 years old and played his last world cup game.

I am guessing that Mbappe could win another one in the future, Messi can't. So, the reason for the teammate thing is not that much of a big deal, but they are in France, fans would be upset, that's a much more viable reason than upsetting teammates.

but seeing it now dropping to 16k again knowing that we are closing the year? I'm afraid that we will be failing to see at least 20k

but staying at 18k will be enough to close 2022 you think?

but more happier if 20k will be broken at least just this month .
I still have very full faith in Bitcoin, but for a price level of $20K in the very near future I'm still very hesitant to reach it, because Bitcoin still hasn't shown much better improvement than last year by the end of this year. So that makes me doubtful for the $20k price tag, but if it's only $18K I think it's still very relevant for Bitcoin to move on and get there slowly. Although many people will probably be very happy to see Bitcoin at $20K before the new year.
As long as you have faith in bitcoin, it doesn't matter when it reaches 20k as long as it reaches it, and same goes 30k or 50k or 100k. I believe that it will reach those levels, and it will make me profit quicker than stocks or gold or oil futures whatever else could bring. This means that if I put every dollar I save into bitcoin, that can make me richer and that matters.

Unfortunately we are not all lucky in life and I do not have a lot of money, so I can't invest too much, and I would need at least 2 maybe 3 more cycles to get rich, but I know that it has been doing well enough so far that I am better thanks to it, and maybe it won't be 20k in a week, but I know the future is better than anything else I can invest into.

I would love to see Leclerc at Mercedes.I don't like him personally as a driver but this year he showed great skill and performance in those races where Ferrari had the upper edge.Beautiful battle in Silverstone between three drivers and one of them was Leclerc,he won in Austria with the gas pedal not working at all and a few more good deeds by him.

At Mercedes I doubt they have first and second driver but they choose one based on the results of the start of the season,they can't have first driver Russell if for example Hamilton wins the first three races.
Yup, I wouldn't mind seeing it happen too.  He's a good driver that hasn't reached his full potential yet because Ferrari has been sucking in strategy and execution as of late.  Vettel has a high opinion of him as a driver, even wrote him a note saying so when Vettel left Ferrari.  I don't get why everybody hated Vettel when he was winning with Red Bull and saying he's not a fast driver.  If that was true then why couldn't Webber beat him during quali or the race?  People seem to forget there are two driver, not one.  Lol.

And Merc would prolly have no defined first or second driver if it was Leclerc - Russell.  Other than that, it's Russell as first driver...  Blimey.
George Russel is the biggest reason why they couldn't possibly get Charles as their second driver after Hamilton retires, first of all I am guessing that there is as long as 3 to 5 seasons Hamilton could still race, and that means it is not going to be easy to replace him, the racer that could replace him may not be even in f2 right now let alone in f1 because by the time Hamilton retires, George would be winning races for them, and Charles would be settled in nicely with Ferrari.

I am guessing that Charles-George duo would cause them as much headache as Nico vs Hamilton year, and that is why I doubt that they would repeat that mistake ever again and instead get a clear second driver for Russell.

I think Bayern Munich's dominance will continue, apart from the broken leg problem from Manuel Neuer, but that will not affect Bayern Munich's performance. But I'm a little worried about SC Freiburg, which is now only 4 points away from Bayern Munich, maybe that's the only club that will be a tackle for Bayern Munich this season. For Dortmund it seems they still have to work hard to get into a better position and win the game.
They (Bayern Munich) will not be hampered only by Manuel Neuer, because they still have Sven Ulreich who is also a great goalkeeper. For SC Freiburg, i'm not surprised to see their good performance this season, because last season they were even able to finish in sixth place in the standings.
I understand that some people like Ulreich, but I do not consider him to be good enough for them, there is a need for someone much better and as I have stated before Livakovic is the candidate for it. Dude is both younger than Neuer and he is cheap and he has shown how awesome he is so far and he would be cheap.

All these combined means that we are talking about a world where things are a lot better and we are going to end up with Bayern getting the most out of this situation. Worst case scenario they will keep him until the end of this year only, like a loan, and then sell him for whoever pays the most and could turn a profit on him as well if they dislike what they see.
1526  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance's Alleged Crypto Audit Failed, Its Auditor Refused to Vouch For It on: December 20, 2022, 08:56:48 PM
Thank you for your opinion. You try to explain it, but unfortunately you can't explain why audit is so useful. So you can log into the blockchain and check exactly the same thing. Audit is not a blockchain, and it cannot give more accurate information than the blockchain itself.
Yes, Audit is not a blockchain. Because Blockchain and Audit do not have a relationship in terms of definition and understanding, so the two need to be separated first so that it is easier for everyone to understand. And Quoted from The Economic Times, an audit is a bookkeeping check to a physical inspection to ensure a department within an organization or company has followed a documented recording system. [reference]
The difference is that we can see how much binance has via blockchain and we know that they are definitely rich enough to cover all the deposits, meaning why would we care about some accounting firm and what they say about the audit?

The regular companies that have audits do not have blockchain along with them, so you have to trust the company that does the audit, but in this case it's different because Binance could simply show the blockchain and their wallets and you will see that they have the money for it. This difference means that audit and blockchain mean different things, and a company that has blockchain usage doesn't really need audit companies approval.

Perez made attempts for Mbappe last year.  However, when Psg paid very high fees for Mbappe, the transfer was canceled and Mbappe remained in Paris.  I don't know if Florentino Perez will make attempts for Mbappe again.  If I remember correctly, I read an article stating that he would not make this transfer again.  Of course, this performance in the world cup can change all thoughts.  I think Benzema can also give an idea about Mbappe coming to Real Madrid.  The heir of a Frenchman is another Frenchman.  If Mbappe comes, I'm sure he will be successful in his Real Madrid career.
I do agree that there is no need for them to get Mbappe, would have been awesome if they could have gotten him, dude is so great and we have seen how amazing he is during the world cup finals as well, but if he doesn't want to come then he doesn't want to come.

During the summer he was free agent, if he wanted to come then I am sure Perez could have paid him a good amount of money, not as much as PSG could, but still at least 40-50 million instead of 60 million a year, and maybe not 100+ million for signing bonus but about 50-60 at least. That is a huge difference, a total of 100+ million left on the table, but if Mbappe wanted to play in Real, he could have accepted it, not like Perez would offer 10 million to him. If Perez got rejected, he tends to not look back.

For me he isn't, or should I say his main goal isn't getting a triple double every game but, that's just how he plays right now. I mean he can do everything. He can rebound, he can be a passer and he can be a shooter as well though he is very awful on that aspect considering how much he's being paid right now.

Lakers are doing well compared to their first 10 games. Their chemistry is being built slowly. Coach Ham is slowly becoming a better coach right now and he utilizes his other players like Reeves, Walker and Schroeder. The problem right now is Davis being out for a month again. After him being the most dominant player to now getting injured again.

We know how impactful he is and how much he improved compared to last year. Now injuries are coming to him again and ruining his whole season. One month of him being out is a huge disaster to the Lakers already. Him playing and they are at the 12th spot still. How will the Lakers perform with him out for a month?
He can't really be a shooter, we have seen him shoot last year and at the start of this year and we can easily say that he is not a shooter at all, dude sucks at shooting. However, we can say that he is great at running very fast and disrupting defences, and during this era being able to disrupt the defence is all that matters.

What he gives to the team is the fact that when other teams defence is trying to recover, he can pass and the person who gets it could catch the other team off-guard and either score or get fouled. They have done this a lot now, and it's working and with second unit. On first unit they have Lebron, and westbrook is not an off-ball runner, so he just waits and watches Lebron and that didn't work obviously.

I think for a better chance to get 1000x, look for coins with a market cap of 1m or lower.  Dog logo not necessary but I think it def will help.
These two criteria are making me annoying as these are not about usecase or adaption level or even not about marketing. This simply shows how the altcoin industry is working on hype and pumps. Honestly not a healthy environment for the investors who are into usual due diligence process to filter out right opportunities.

I am not sure about any 1000x coin but from my personal watch list I found 2 coins with potential 10x growth.

First one is, after India's regulation on crypto, the Indian exchange wazirx's token wrx is trading right now 10x lower from the ATH; this might get chances to scale old peaks in long run like in next 2 to 3 years. Similarly waves also trading 10x lower from its recent peak; might bounce back.

The champions league has eluded Manchester City for long. They have won the premier league four times in just 5 years and currently the defending champions. They have pretty much dominated the epl, they have their eyes set on the champions league trophy as well as the premier league trophy this year. The only competition they have in the EPL right now is Arsenal. Arteta will have to bring in new signings to strengthen the team for them to maintain the number 1 position in the epl. I think Arsenal have been extraordinary this season and their fans will be hoping to win the premier league or the Europa league.
UCL is a bit different, it's not the same thing and it creates a bit of a trouble for them. It's chaotic to say the least and that is why they keep failing to win all this time. They got Haaland this time around and that's why they might have a better chance to win it all this year, including premier league.

If Jesus is injured for a long time, Arteta has to get someone or he has no chance at all, it would be impossible for him to make it work without Jesus while City is chasing him. Who will they get? I have no idea, but I know that it has to be someone good because they do deserve to get a great one in order to make it work for the premier league title.
1531  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Shall we create a small chat room to communicate? on: December 19, 2022, 01:48:43 PM
I had an idea to create a group chat for members of this forum
People here are familiar with cryptocurrencies and know what they are dealing with
What if we create a small chat in telegram and share trading tips with each other?
Not only analyze the market,but also communicate,share interesting stories about how someone got into cryptocurrency
I haven't seen such a suggestion on this forum and i would like to implement it
There are multiple possible problems when we have such telegram group; here are few:
1. People will try to convince you to follow their pump and dump coins/tokens.
2. People will try to add you to scammy groups or will try to sell your telegarm handles.
3. People will beg you by watching your campaign/bounty earnings.

So, a group started for trading discussion will become a chit-chat one for unwanted things. So, I guess if you are able to moderate with set of strict rules then you may go for it otherwise such group will not serve the targeted purpose.
1532  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I want to ask, at the end of the bitcoin and altcoin year, will the price go up on: December 19, 2022, 10:55:05 AM
according to your predictions or speculations, will bitcoin and altcoins increase in price at the end of the year or not? and if there is an increase in the price of an altcoin, do you think which altcoin will rise higher?
Year end usually marks the change of sentiment. It means so far we had bearish market in 2022 which may change in 2023. But unfortunately most people do assume that change of bearish is bullish only but we have another market condition which is 'sideways'. Sideways market condition is a situation where markets do get stuck within two specific price level.

I am not saying we are going to have another bad year for crypto users but we could not get a new ATH in 2023 but we may see some relief from bearish market in next few months which means market may show some recovery from the current bottom levels.
1533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Brazil Fan Token Down 60% After Losing to Croatia on: December 19, 2022, 09:51:14 AM
Brazil Fan Token launched by the Brazilian government and the Brazilian football federation
BTF Token cryptocurrency is a national fan of Brazilian football. It dropped 50% in a few hours and about 60% in 24 hours after losing against Croatia at the FIFA World Cup in penalty shootout.

The Brazilian government and football federation launched the Brazil Fan Token on August 25, 2021. The token offers an exclusive experience for investors and sports fans around the world.
When this token is backed a government and its sports authority, I guess there will be no need to panic on seeing a 60% downfall rather you should focus on accumulating more to maximize your chances for grabbing more profits while it will be bouncing back. I never followed this token but if it is not reaching its 80% downfall from the peak price then keep averaging while accumulating will help.

At the same time, we need to bother about what are the chances from government side to keep backing up this token. I mean some times government may change their policy without any proper reason or explanation and in such case they will abandon it immediately; so government's token alone cannot be a good reason to keep investing in one token; always diversify.

I still can't believe that he is not moving to Al-Nassr, those guys offered him 500 million euro for 2.5 years, that is 200 million a year, how could anyone reject that? I get that he likes his freedom and being in Al-Nassr would mean that he would have to follow their culture or it would be a big trouble for him, all of which means even his family would be pressured into living the way they live unless they want risk, so that type of thing is a scary thing or could be at least and I understand that.

However, we are talking about FIVE HUNDRED MILLION EUROS! that is good enough to literally do whatever you are told to do, just way too much money to reject.

Ronaldo might not be fortunate enough to find a club in England that will sign him especially after having a fight with Manchester United recently.Newcastle have the money to sign and keep him at the club,but I don't think they will like to sign him,but if they are able to,he will definitely be a major addition to the squad.
Newcastle are actually in a very good form at the moment,and I hope they will still add more players to the squad they have currently if they want to retain the position they are on the league table.They are currently sitting third on the table,and will be hoping to be in the top four spot to qualify for champions league next season.
Honestly it would be quite weird if he went from United to a better team. Newcastle looks like a team with a great future, and they have the richest owner of any club in the world, estimated at 300+ billion dollars, we know how rich the corporations are, people like Elon and jeff and bill gates etc etc, these are kings of whole nations so it's really a different situation for them, they have their own army, that is how rich they are.

So, Ronaldo being there would definitely be amazing for them, both for Ronaldo, and for Newcastle to get a lot more media attention as well. Imagine a world where Ronaldo scores at least 10 goals in 20 matches, Newcastle would be talked everywhere.

Mbappé have success with national team from Euro until World Cup tittle success get it during still 23 years old, Lionel Messi can't get tittle with his national team in young age but need waiting until achievement on 30 years old for Copa America tittle. I don't think for Lionel Messi and Mbappé have drastically level difference with Champion League trophy only missing.

Why many bad viewed with Mbappé about his attitude, during World Cup with France national team he most friendly and never made any mistake yet with their team and matches played, I sure Mbappé will reach the same level with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo later after joining potential team with Champion League opportunity tittle like Real Madrid.
This is a very very shallow approach to football. It is played with 11 people, if you calculate how strong France is without Mbappe and how strong Argentina would be without Messi you would have your answer. Lets assume that we take out Messi and Mbappe from this finals, they won't play, who do you think would win? I can easily tell you that the result would be like 5-0 France win, easily.

The only reason Argentina even came to finals twice now is the fact that Messi scored 5 goals and assisted plenty as well because dude knows how to control the game. When he has the ball on his foot, it's also a way other team can't score, he dictates the pace and the style of the game all by himself.

Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin as the perfect P2P digital money but today people are forced to pay tax on their holdings. Haven't this make the whole anonymous and freedom dream of Nakamoto failed?
In the path of achieving compete decentralization, I guess we cannot avoid availing services from centralized exchange kind of services which might lead to be taxed as per your country law. But, the ultimate goal of bitcoin must be not depending and not trusting a centralized services for value transferring hence I believe it would be too early to call that Satoshi's dream got failed.

When we have more infrastructure for transacting within ourselves then I guess people will prefer p2p things and then government laws may not enforce you but still if you buy anything for bitcoin or avail any services for bitcoin then you may still need to pay tax which got nothing to do with decentralization.

As you have an answer for all questions cause you all know your subject, could you explain why the BFG reachs such price? It's the lower price or so since the launch of BFG. So who are the sellers at this level? It's the Dev team who got free BFG who can afford to sell at the shitty price?

The listing price was at 0.07$. During the last 6 months BFG price change between 0.025 and 0.015. So who sell at 0.012? The price was never been so low and strangely people sell. 2 options : They sell in red or they sell in green cause they got millions of free BFG.
We can track (some) orders on Vulkania. I guess there aren't all there cause I saw a lot of buying orders for several millions of BFG and despite that the price goes down.
Bitcoin reached under 17k for the first time since 2020, and there were still some people who sold, why did those people sell? BNB reached as low as 230, and people still sold, who were those people who sold?

These are the same questions and whatever the answer was for those questions, this is the same answer. Some people sell their coins when they see it going down, they sell even more when they see it going down and hold it when they see it going up. I personally believe that people should be buying instead of selling during these periods of course but as you might know some people have weaker hands and they just sell as soon as they see it lower than before.

Goncalo Ramos is a young player who has great potential. It seems that he is putting on a decent performance at the moment.
The problem with him is that despite his talent, I doubt he will be able to match that performance with Manchester United since he will be facing much bigger and better opponents.
It doesn't seem like there is any reality where he will be able to successfully replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

And, there is no indication that Manchester United are that concerned about bringing him in. In my opinion, he is not capable of filling the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United will have to bring in a better player who will be a reliable goal-scorer. As a first step, Manchester United will need to solve the problems between the authorities and the players in order to move forward.
I feel like buying a player just after a world cup because of a few good games is not a good idea. Look at James Rodriguez, dude got to Real Madrid with just one superb world cup tournament but we have not seen him do well at all after that.

It could be said that Goncalo played a great world cup as well but we have seen him play in 5 games, and that is not enough to just buy a player. United needs someone who has been consistently great, plus if they are going to pay that much money then it would be smarter to get someone who has proven themselves in premier league before. I think it would be smart to look for someone who is 28 or older and just get a free agent instead.
1540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first attempt to play gambling on: December 17, 2022, 06:41:52 PM
How was your first start? Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?
As for poker, before I started playing with money, in micro limits, I practiced with play money and a console poker game, in addition to looking at some theory and some open raise tables.

The first few times I played with money, I had the open raise tables printed out and I bet according to them. Little by little I memorized them and I didn't need them anymore, just as I was modifying them as I went along, just like the postflop game.
I had to do the same thing for poker as well, and I did something similar for blackjack too where I had a pdf open that explains what I should do in most odds, like do I hit with 15-16 or do I stay etc etc. Same with poker too, didn't know what beat what, and had to check it, didn't print it out tbf, I had it open on my pc, but I used pokerstars with like 1-2 cents as my preference, and I had like 2-3 dollars in there.

The aim wasn't to win money but to learn the game. But the first ever betting I did was on horse racing, it was a thrill to watch those horses race, the more I grew up, the more I realized it's actually something that hurts the horses and a shame, now I never bet on it.
