According to a recent Twitter post by @Finbold, a financial news and information platform, Shib has emerged as the most popular token held by Ethereum whales. Upon encountering this news via CoinMarketCap's news feed this morning, I had originally intended to sell my Shib. However, the announcement has led me to believe that Shib could perform exceptionally well this year. As a Shib enthusiast, I would encourage others to hold onto their tokens as we may witness prosperous times ahead, and our patience may result in significant reward.

This sounds like you are just shilling which is fine and all but what males ypu think shib is going to outsurpass every other token?  Those numbers are skewd since they basically gave a ton away.  The whole burning of tokens tells me this is just another long scam in an effort to raise the price.  Any serious project doesn't need to do this.  Good luck with your shib
1563  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do NFTs Have Same Value as Bitcoin?* on: March 06, 2023, 09:44:46 PM
I am new to the crypto world and still learning the basics to understand how it operates. A friend who is an artist introduced me to NFTs, which he said is similar to Bitcoin. I want to know how NFT drawings can be invested in Bitcoin, but first, I need to understand how to create NFTs that have crypto value. After discussing it with my friend, I searched for help online, but instead of understanding it, I am getting more confused about it.

Do NFTs have the same value as Bitcoin? I have read that investing in Bitcoin is a good business opportunity, especially for people in West Africa who may not have many job opportunities. One can be self-employed by trading and investing in the crypto market and assets, including NFTs.

As a newbie in the forum, I have read other articles about Bitcoin, but I still need a good guideline on the crypto world, Bitcoin, and NFTs.

They are 2 VERY different things.  Bitcoin is a currency, nfts are not.  If ypu ask me I think the valuable nft fad will come to a close soon.  There will forever be a market for them but the moon prices everyone seen will be a thing of the past.  Tell me why you need to own a piece of digital art that really isn't art?  Focus in on bitcoin and start from there.

Took the night off and just enjoyed the Knicks beating the Celtics:)

Tonight I have 4 games I'm in on.

1) Boston +8 on road against cavs.  Taytum and horford are out and it's a second night of a back to back but I like them backdoor covering.
2)heat -2.5 at home against the Hawks.  Shoukd be a fun game to watch.
3) Denver-6.5 at home against the Raptors.
4) kings at home -5.5 against the Pelicans.

Good luck tonight everyone!

The return of Steph Curry didn't end with a happy ending. It seems like they are catching up on their rotation. Klay Thompson's performance is almost the same as what he always did but it's Jordan Poole who I think is changing whenever Steph is back. This should not happen. Consistency must be preserved.
Then, Jonathan Kuminga played only 13 minutes which again is surprising after he played 32 minutes against the Pelicans and scored 19 points. The big reason why they won that game.
17 games left, they need to fix this issue or else they will be in the play-in tournament before they realize it.  Cheesy There is not much of a gap between the 5th to the 8th seed.
On their final 17 games, 10 of them will be played on the road.
If they will not do something to at least be better on the road, it will not be a good sign for the Warriors.

On that game against the Lakers, one thing that they can't stop is Anthony Davis, and that's the reason why they lost. I mean how can you let Davis score 39 points with only 3 attempts on the three-point area? That's how awful the defense of the Warriors is. They have Looney yes. They have Green yes, but still they are lacking something defensively.

Expect some adjustments on their next game. They might give Kuminga more minutes like you said. They might give Poole more minutes like you said. With Wiggins still out, it will be a hard time for the Warriors, but I'm hoping he will come back soon or at least on the playoffs.

Knicks be killing it.  No brunson on the road in Boston, no problem.  Knicks are becoming the team in the east no one wants to face in the playoffs.  History aside this team is winning in so many different ways.  Inside, outside, defense, etc.  Last night's thriller in Boston was amazing.  What a crazy game. Onward and upward from here.  Really think the 3 hole is attainable.
They are 9-0 since they acquired Josh Hard. Is acquiring Hart boost the morale of the team? What did he bring to the Knicks and why they are on a winning streak since acquiring him? Cheesy

Kidding aside, Quickley had a good night with his career high 38 points and he played 55 minutes while Randle got 31 points and Barrett also got 29 points. On the other hand, the Celtics had 2 chances to win the game, but Tatum missed on an open close range shot at the end of the first overtime, and Horford's three is just an inch away from going in and win the game. Good game for both teams, but the Knicks are rolling it since acquiring Hart. Cheesy

I mean hart is a nice piece but he has to be good luck 9-0 since we got him lol.  He brings defense and rebounding from the guard position which is nice.  Also helps he is one of jalen brunsons good friends.  They played together at Villanova and won a natty together.  That chemistry was already there from day one since brunson is the pg.  Made sense to pick him up.

On before now gambling was seen as a dirty habit and was painted black in the society because way back the society believes any gambler have so many bad habits too like doing drugs which most gamblers was mafias not just mafias but rich people .But in this present world now gambling is seen as a business which both young (+18) and old part in which in the old times gambling was base most times about money wasn’t base on sport but now is modernize into different kind of sport that why in west Africa there are so many gambling and betting companies because is been accepted by the public now as a medium of making extra cash basically gambling to me was for men but now you can see woman parting in gambling games which everyone in that habit believes each day he/she must make more returns than he/she has spent to stake just as an entrepreneur knows that risk management of any business he/she is operating,a gambler knows that their is high risk in every stake but their believes so much in good future that good must always come by that no matter the amount a gambler loses believes his coming will earn that triple times .So my question now is that can someone use gambling as a means of earning living?

There are people out there that gamble for a living.  I wouldn't say it's a good idea to but people do it.  Because there are no guarantees it's a risky life choice since you can easily get bankrupt and end up on the streets.  For that matter if you have a family I wouldn't recommend it.  For the most part you hear about people's good stories but never hear about the losses.  Keep your day job and gamble for fun.  Much easier on your mind as well, less stress.
1568  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If btc might lose the support then solana to watch next on: March 05, 2023, 08:44:49 PM
After previous drop down SOL price gained kinda artificially the price.
Sol can go to re-test previous lows.
Sol can touch 12-15 price range again.
After previous crash of SOL i saw a lot instutions money inflow i guess they want to take it back from the retail those who bought in by fomo.
Whatever the case Will be Im short with SOL now and market lose the bullish grip Im expecting the 12-15price really.
Reason for that becouse price of SOL been pushed up " kinda artificially"

Usually i dont trade but when i see good opportunity then i trade only Im not trader but more like Dca investor.
I have my own style : "dca until support and resitance by % "
So If i have time i check markets what to trade. But i know it's bit of risky i'll better just do the dca like all the instutions does it


Everything follows bitcoin.  If bitcoin moons so does the alt market and if btc crashes so does the alt market.  Not to say individually coins can't counter that trend but for the most part that's how things go.  The altcoin market just crashes harder and moons higher.  Much more volatile than bitcoin but if you hit it right you can get a good pump.  Lots being talked about sol might have to check it out.

 I want to hear an explanation from you?

Just a heads up this is probably the worst way to find out decent projects that are still undervalued or "cheap".  Ypu are just going to get people shilling theor bags to ypu whether they are good or not.  I advise you to do your own research, not only here but the vast amount of information that's out there.  Too any times people have blindly taken advise from bag skillets and have lost theor money.  Good luck weeding through all the scams hopefully you finsld a worthy project or 2.
1570  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Solana failure resistant? on: March 05, 2023, 08:38:23 PM
Failure resistance in considered to be an important feature of the blockchain technology. Common knowledge says that a blockchain network doesn't rely on a central authority and doesn't have a single failure.

However, we observe blockchain-solutions which fail on a regular basis due to various reasons. The notorious example here is Solana.

What is wrong here? Is it true that blockchain networks are failure resistant?

Or, alternatively, is it true that we misclassify some blockchain-solutions and put a wrong label on a product? What is your opinion?

Nothing is failure resistant.  If something is claiming that it is I'd be weary and steer clear.  Just because their are possible holes or entries for exploit doesn't make something bad either.  I'm not completely up on Solana but have heard great things about the project.
1571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 05, 2023, 08:31:34 PM
For east I still think that Bucks and Celtics are way too better compared to everyone else. Sure the wins may not look like the difference is staggering, but it is actually much bigger than what it shows there. First of all Bucks missed Giannis and Kris for a long time, so that is one reason, and Celtics had a coaching change at the start of the season after a finals year so that was one of the reasons as well.

All in all I am guessing that the best thing to do right now is to wait and see how they will be during playoffs because during regular season it's obvious that they are one level above everyone else. This is for only east conference of course, there are some good teams coming from west too.

The Bucks are definitely on top and record says what it is but I think the Celtics have holes.  I don't like teams who are reliant on theor outside shooting.  Too many series to get through, a couple cold games and they get booted.  Will be an interesting game tonight Celtics vs knicks.  Knicks defense has been great as of late.  Might not have brunson which will be a huge loss for the Knicks.  East I think it's Bucks tier one.  Tier 2- Philly, Celtics, cavs and knicks.  Tier 3: Atlanta, Miami Toronto.  Then everyone else...yep including the Nets they will probably drop into the play in games.
1572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 05, 2023, 05:05:48 PM
In fact LeBron James is injured, and will be sidelined, this is terrible for the Lakers, as LJ is the team's guide.
But I saw on a website that LeBron James could play again, even though he was injured, he could participate in regular season games to help the Lakers.
LeBron does not need to undergo surgery, so most likely, he will be back soon, as his team really needs him.
Yes, it doesn't require any surgery as it's not that actually serious to undergo in any medical operation but his injury which is a tendon injury in his right foot is also a serious one. The Lakers will re-evaluate him again in the next 3 weeks and given that time frame, LeBron might not be back to finish the rest of the games in regular season.

Well, regarding the Lakers x Timberwolves game, it was extremely clear that AD is an excellent player, even though he was playing without LJ, he managed to play his basketball and help the team significantly.
Schroder wasn't able to score like in the previous games, but on the other hand, Schroder had 12 assists, most of which went to AD.

Look, I believe that without LJ the Lakers are unlikely to make the playoffs.
But for the team to get a seed, AD and especially the other players will have to play extremely well to fill the absence of LJ
Yes, AD is unstoppable, but the Lakers cannot rely too much on him, as that will only put him in an injury-prone situation again. Without LeBron, this team will not make it to the playoffs, but once he is back, I think there's still a chance, as they have been playing well so far since Westbrook got traded. It's just sad that LeBron has been out for a while.
I guess that is the predicament they are facing right now because if they rely heavily on AD, he might get injured in the long run and their efforts will be in vain even if they manage to qualify for the play-in. What they have to do is to divide the load, not that equally but just help AD from carrying the team and that means that they should step up their game.

Exactly surgery or not 3 weeks is a long time it's the last quarter of the season and that's a big chunk of it.  By the time he gets reevaluated it might be too far gone.  He's old for basketball too so any injury like this might be a nagging one.  I'd shut it down if I were him.  Focus on next year this squad ain't doing anything anyway
1573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 04, 2023, 10:13:48 PM
Despite scoring 38 points, Davis was unable to carry his team to victory. The Lakers really need LeBron; although they have won some games without him, their playoff chances might be at risk without consistency. It was a home game, so they were supposed to win with their home advantage, but they lacked energy, the ball movement seemed lost, and they relied too much on their big man AD."
So that's an interesting factor...
In the victory against OKC, most of the Lakers players scored, and they won the match without LJ and AD.

I have no doubt that in the game against the Timberwolves, AD would be the team's reference player, and indeed he was, AD scored 38 points, KAT was not playing, but Gobert played, in my view, AD played extremely well against the Timberwolves and mainly against Gobert.

I believe what happened in this last Lakers game was that the other players didn't perform relevantly to help the team to beat the Timberwolves.

Let's see if in the next games the Lakers can reverse these losses they had!
Tomorrow he will play against GSW and during the week against the Grizzlies


Lakers are toast.  With LeBron out they won't be able to sustain any kind of winning streak.  They are essentially a non factor whenever it comes to playoff scenerios.Lebron needs to split he doesn't have much time left and this Lakers team just isn't it.
1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: March 04, 2023, 07:31:17 PM
Does the Falcons have the money to give Lamar a contract for 5 years that is fully guaranteed very much similar to Massage Watson's contract with the Browns?

Also, the article mentioned that it will also open a window for the superbowl for the Falcons if they can trade for Lamar? Is this real? I am shaking my head. The Dolphins might have a bigger window for the superbowl with Lamar, I reckon.
I am not so sure Lamar will be available as the Ravens can always put the exclusive franchise tag on him and if the negotiations fail he will still have to play for the Ravens, however if Lamar wants out he could follow the formula that Kirk Cousins used to get out from the Commanders and receive the tag on consecutive years and by the third year the tag becomes so expensive the Ravens will have to let him go and only receive compensatory picks instead of actually trading for him.

This is the only way I see Lamar opening a SB window for any team other than the Ravens, because if a trade has to take place for him to play at any other team then not only they will have to pay the huge salary of Lamar, severely limiting the option of bringing free agents, but a trade for him at minimum will entail 3 first round picks and this will limit the amount of talent which can be brought on the draft too.
I could see that happening too.  The problem is that franchise tag is so front heavy.  Who knows what happens but that's probably the best scenario for everyone.  Let's not ignore Lamar does get hurt and laying pit a $300 contract for a guy who can easily miss a quarter or half the games would wreck your squad.  That cap is tough and expensive quarterbacks tend to constrain teams to not being able to get people around them.  I'd steer clear if I was atlanta to be honest.  

My next question is which team would be the most to give the risk to trade Lamar for the type of contract that he wants. A contract very much similar to Massage Watson. Also, which team has the money to give Lamar his contract?

The teams where I want to see Lamar go and that might also have the money are Miami Dolphins and the Las Vegas Raiders. They also need a good quarterback.

There’s a few teams that need a quarterback and could afford Lamar, the Dolphins are not one of them. As much as I feel that Tua Tagovailoa needs to hang it up if he wants to have a functioning brain by the time he’s 45 years old, with the Dolphins recently announcing that they are open to resigning Tua, I just don’t think he’s going to leave the game like he should. The Raiders are absolutely a spot I could see him landing. Though I don’t know what their cap situation is like at the moment.

Correction: I stated Calvin Ridley plays for the Falcons, completely forgot he was traded to the Jaguars 🐆

Yeah there are tons of teams who would snag Lamar in a second.  If he is on the field he instantly makes your team a contender that's how good he is.  Where he ends up, no clue.  My bet is that he stays right in Baltimore.  Think vegas is gonna splash and get Rodgers then he can play with davante again lol.

Went 1-3 last night took the Knicks when they were -3.5 it dropped all the way to +1.5 once they announced Jimmy buckets was playing.  Oh well at least the Knicks won Smiley

Got 4 games tonight all home favorites(one dog).

I like the heat -1 lost a tough one and think they will bounce back
I like the Wizards at home +2 against Toronto

Gimme the Bucks-4.5 at home have to ride them

Last I like Sacramento-5 at home. 

Good luck tonight everyone.

Such progress in just one year is impressive, and it should be noted that it has been possible not only thanks to the efforts of the players but also the efforts of Mike Brown, who has been recently named the Western Conference Coach of the Month.

Actually, that's not a 1-year progress in the making for Sacramento Kings. The progress overall takes place over a decade. Smiley

The last time the Sacramento Kings established a winning percentage of over .500 is way back 2005-06 season and that's also the last time they make it to the playoffs. Just do the Math on how long they are not making the playoffs from 2006-07 until now. Although this season, that will be changed.

Sacramento Kings will surely be able to break the curse now and their home crowd will witness again the NBA playoffs.

It's fun when Sacramento is in the playoffs.  Back in the day with Peja, Bobby, etc when they were challenging the top the were fun to watch.  The crowd playoff crowds there were amazing.  Helped that they had Jason Williams who is still one of my favorite players to watch, never knew what that dude was gonna do.  Good mix of streetcars in his game.  Either way I will be rooting them to go far this year.  Tired of seeing the same old teams in it year in and year out.
1577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 04, 2023, 03:24:44 PM
The Phoenix Suns are now officially a very scary team after the game against Chicago and they just boost their chances to win the Finals this year. Devin Booker seems like he's getting back to his old self with Durant on their team as he now have more spaces to make shots. Just like what I've said before, It is impossible to double team Durant, Booker, CP3, and Ayton all at the same play.
I may not be rooting for them to win the championship, but I cant deny the fact how strong this team is. Does Chris Paul finally get his first ring this year? Let's see about that lol.

Yep, I need to see a Denver/Suns 7 game series that would be incredible.  Suns/Grizzlies would be good too.  But with the experience on that team I can't see them losing a 7 game series if all theor starters can stay off the injury list.

Knicks.....straight.....stunting on the nba.....talk about it.

Bulls…straight…..not stunting on the nba…let’s not talk about it lol

Nah I’ll bitch a little. At this point with them playing like such shit all season, and obviously clearly not having any legitimate shot at making any sort of run in the playoffs, it’s time to maybe trade some pieces and start losing. Would be amazing to someone pull another situation like we did with Derrick Rose and luck out in getting the number 1 pick again (would be something with the Bears and Bulls getting it).

They have the pieces to be good they just need to put it together.  If there is any year to get the number #1 pick it's the year.  Victor W is the real deal.  I usually don't like picking bigs early in the draft because they get injured a lot but I'd be all over Victor at the 1.  He is a franchise chasing pick.

I can't really say that I totally expected that outcome because at the back of my mind, it's hard to disregard that the Lakers are much more vulnerable in that game because there was no LeBron and Davis on the court to help them and lift the team whenever they needed it. But it shows that they can still manage well and the absence of both superstars gave Schroder a moment to gain another experience that will help him to be more confident during clutch time or intense games especially if they can participate in the play-in.
Yes, exactly!
Well, even though the Lakers aren't that far off OKC in the championship.

Now, if the Lakers manage to maintain a great consistency of victories with or without LJ and AD, that will be a good sign (which in my opinion this could happen).
The Lakers will do anything to get a seed in these playoffs!

Tomorrow they will play against the Timberwolves, it will be an interesting game to watch, as Minnesota is in a similar position to the Lakers in the championship, I have no doubt that this victory will be important for both teams

Man, I can say all the bottom teams in the West needs every win they could possible get for the remainder of the season, so every game is a very important game that someone who's vital for the team needs to play even with a minor injury. #4 down to #13 does not guarantee a playoff spot until the season is over. With less than 20 games remaining in the season, games will get interesting to watch.
I'm not so certain about the Lakers though if both LeBron and AD is out.

Yeah I actually don't remember a season where the log jam between 10 teams is literally a couple of games.  A good week brings you from out of the playin to hosting a playoff series lol.  Gonna make for a wild last week of basketball.  Can't wait for it.

In other news another huge game for the Knicks.  Mia.i is right behind them and another chance to clear some room away from the play in slots.  Love this time of year for basketball.  Between the last quarter of nba season and March madness for college there is something good on everyday.
