1581  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Who makes such predictions? on: March 03, 2023, 10:56:07 PM
We've all stumbled upon predictions for all kinds of coins, including Bitcoin, of course. Some may sound like they may happen in the future, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or Polkadot, coins with actual potential. However, some are so exaggerated that they have no foundation to back up their claims. I recently got my hands on some BTTC (BitTorrent Coin). It has so many zeros after the decimal that I've lost count, and they are literally worth almost nothing. I was curious to see, though, what the community believed about its future.

The first website I stumbled upon claimed that BTTC had the potential to reach $30 by 2050. Firstly, how can a coin worth $0.000000866 as we speak rise so much in value? It currently has a market cap of over $800.000.000. If the price were to double, it'd have a market cap of $1.6 billion. That's already extravagant and it'd still be worth close to nothing, nonsense.

Secondly, how and why is someone making predictions 30 years from now? The world might have ended by then. On what data is someone making such a prediction? Fortunately, other websites I found didn't have such extreme forecasts, but some still did, over the moon. For most coins out there, plenty of similar examples can also be found. Do you believe that they're based on any actual statistics and/or considering the coin's potential, are they purely fictional?

P.S I'm not implying that BTT could possibly reach $30; I'd be a multibillionaire if that were the case. It's just a simple example of how many exaggerated forecasts are out there.

Website n.1: https://telegaon.com/bittorrent-coin-price-prediction-2021-2022-2025-2030/
Website n.2: https://www.cryptonewsz.com/forecast/bittorrent-price-prediction/ A more plausible prediction

Crypto predictions are hilarious.  There are a zillion of them and the ones thelat coincidentally hit one boasts about being able to predict the crypto market.  This is one market that is dam near impossible to nail because there are so many singular factors that can alter a price trejection.  They are rediculous and just leave it as that, comedy.

I don't know who needs to hear this but after years of being a bounty hunter and keeping a close eye on how bounties are conducted, it's safe to say most projects make the biggest mistake of paying bounty hunters using their native tokens, why do I say so, well bounty hunters don't share the long term foresight as the project to the point of being a hodler to grow with the company but rather see their bounty payment as a service and will sell the tokens for less to get whatever money they can because they owe nobody anything.Of course, for the project to pay using the tokens is cost cutting but if the project is truly slated for the future, paying using non-tokens is a good signal for a strong project.

Going forward in the best interest of investors and the project itself, hope to see "more" bounties being paid with established coins in this industry.

What do you guys think?

They do that because sending out their own "free" tokens doesn't cost them a cent and provides some possible interest in their project.  Most everyone of them are not needed or just a straight up scam so why would the projects owners use "real" value in providing to bounties?  They all just want to cash in.  That's the trick they are useless.  Steer clear amd you don't have to worry about any of that crap.

It is a little bit of a shame that Westbrook’s impact is now considered negative on the Clippers while his departures has also had a winning effect on the Lakers. Russell has been playing great for the Clippers too. I think it’s time to admit his athletic style of play is no longer possible at a high level due to his age. I suspect the end of his career isn’t going to be pretty.

You should've watched how they are defending him now. Leaving him completely open at 3point range(since he shoots fairly low percentage) and just crowd the paint. With lower confidence, he's not even shooting the ball for 3 pt range, he is just trying to drive in and hopefully create space for an open teammate. It's kinda sad to see what has come of Westbrook, all I ever known of him is as "Westbeast" if you still go through his highlights, it still looks freakishly athletic. Which is no longer possible like it used to be. It kinda feels like how Rose faded away but without the injuries on Westbrook's case. It's the case with most athletic players though. You have to learn to shoot when your athleticism isn't the same or be chucked out of the league. Vince Carter comes to mind, who transitioned fairly well.

It's a good point there is a life span to his style of play.  He still has plenty in the tank but he isn't going to transition into a long range shooter he is and always has been a slasher.  I loved his game in his prime.  His driving to the paint and just dunking on anyone was great to watch.  In his prime he was a triple double machine and was unguardable.  I'm hoping the Clippers works out for him.  Dude always played hard.

Good lineup tonight hitching onto 4 games tonight.  Gonna ride with everyone else and:

Take Suns-3.5 on the road against the Bulls.  Until proven wrong I'm riding them

Knicks -3.5 on road against heat.  Tough game but knicks have been bullying people led by the EC player of the month jalen brunson.  Knicks stole him from Dallas.

Portland +8 on the road against the Hawks.  Dame almost getting double digits I will take my chances.

And gimme the Celtics-11 against the Nets.  Nets are in a tailspin and it won't stop vs Celtics.

Good luck tonight everyone!

When Durant and Booker play together, the Suns can win the match very easily. Against the Hornets, I think they were pretty good. It's just that Durant's injury would be pretty bad for the team, that's what scares me. If he doesn't lose his health, the Suns could have a huge success in the playoffs this year.
Durant has been a pretty good basketball player for this team. I hope they get used to the team soon and they can play better together

That will be a big problem if that happens because the Suns have no longer good bench players left to substitute whenever they need some because the Suns traded them just to acquire KD to their roster. We all know that KD's presence will certainly enhance the teams chance but at this rate, the team might be seeing a replay of what happened to themselves in the recent playoffs if ever KD will get sidelined again because of an injury during the playoffs.

But if KD will be fortunate enough to finish the whole post-season without any harm, I'm sure that the Suns will reach much further and let's expect that. What we saw in the game earlier was just a teaser, that was the Suns who are still adjusting and when they find the rhythm which I'm positive they will, the league better be prepared.

I mean you can say that about any teams superstar.  If giannis goes down then yeah they will get booted, embid, jokic ,etc.  That's why Suns traded who they did for him.  If he goes down then yeah it will be rough for the sums just like if any teams superstar goes down for a significant time.
1586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 02, 2023, 12:26:29 PM
KD had a wonderful debut game with the Suns. He was unstoppable and could shoot from anywhere on the floor. With even a little opening, his accuracy is really high. I think the Suns will be a tough team in the playoffs. Even if they're not the favorites to win the championship, I would certainly bet on them if they have attractive odds.

The flow of basketball is very easy with Durant on the floor, which makes them unpredictable. Now, they have Durant and Booker, and of course CP3 can also score.
Classic Kevin Durant. The Phoenix Suns will be one of the teams that is difficult to defeat from now on. Even KD takes a rest, Booker will be there, then they have Warren, CP3, and Ayton. He just need someone who could space the floor more and let him do his isolation game. A very big catch by the Suns here and now they are on the discussions of a championship contender once again.
Brooklyn Nets on the other hand, (where KD came from) is unable to win another game after receiving Bridges and Johnson. 1 win in 7 games. It must be hard for them to create chemistry.

Yeah, it was the old and classic KD, shooting mid range even if someone is in front of him. And then Booker taking over the game and it was CP3 play making, dictating the tempo, Ayton too with another great rebounding night.

As for the Nets, it was always close, but then they really like melting in the 4th quarter. Maybe they got tired or something or their defense is not holding up. Unless Bridges is now on a break out as when he was transferred to the Nets, he has a good scoring average and could be potentially the new face of the Nets together with Spencer Dinwiddie and Cam Thomas.

I don't know what Nets game you were watching.  Knicks were up 20 points in the 1st quarter and were up by 24 at half.  It never got close.  Knicks scored 81 points in the first half.  It was a wire to wire blowout.  There was no 4th quarter meltdown it was just the Knicks dominating end to end.
1587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 02, 2023, 03:26:22 AM
Knicks just stunting on the NBA right now.  They got a good rhythm.  Scored 81 in the first half tonight's.  Nets aren't a good team but regardless these games are encouraging.  I know there isn't many teams that are glad to see them on the schedule. 2 big away games against Miami and Boston again coming up.  Then a 4 game west coast swing.  Pivotal 2 weeks here.
1588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 02, 2023, 12:20:16 AM
Is everyone in this thread really this concerned with the Lakers?  It does really sound like a Lakers fan board so let's switch it up eh...

How bout them NY Knicks!!!  No honestly this is another big game for them.  With the Nets right behind them in the standings they need to spend the last 20 games getting some space between them and the teams right behind them to lock in the 4/5 spot.  Don't really care which one since the Knicks are actually almost better on the road then they are at home...dare I say they sneak into the 3 hole?  Knicks win tonight and Miami beats Philly it almost gets into range.

Gonna be a good last quarter of the year finally as a Knicks fan Smiley
I'm curious to see how the Kevin Durant debut goes tonight for the Phoenix sun's.

Lakers are just in the news lately, that's why alot talk about em.

I know I get it the Lakers have worldwide appeal to so they get the prettiest girl in the room treatment.  I can't wait to watch Durant on the Suns either.  Think this is the first time he has played with an elite true pass first point guard.  He has had kyrie, Westbrook and steph as his point guards.  If dude stays on the court I'm throwing some dockets on them to win it all.

I. Quickley 10+ points / I. Quickley 1+ 3pts / Knicks ML @1.88

It would be an understatement to say that the Knicks' last couple of games has gone extremely well. They are coming off an impressive win over the Celtics, an almost perfect month of February, and a six-game winning streak that is second only to the Bucks' 15. With three straight losses and being on back-to-back games tonight, i don't see the Nets doing much, so i'm picking the Knicks to win.
I had Quickley in a parlay with Randle against Boston, taking him at 10 points and at least 1 3pt again. He's seen double-digit scoring in each of his /L7 and has put up 1+ 3pt in 7/L7 @43% shooting.


I like that parlay all day everyday.  IQ is going to get a lot of run in this game, his last couple weeks he has been on fire.  Thibs is using him as a true 6th man.  Just need the Knicks to come through with the win.  What's the odds on that parlay you got?

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. 
1591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 01, 2023, 09:08:22 PM
Took last night off here are my picks for tonight.  Gimme the Knicks at home -8 vs the Nets.  I feel like this can be close but the Knicks defense is playing as good as it ever has, think they win by double digits tonight.

Okc at home vs Lakers.  -3.5 and without AD or lebron.  Think the young okc squad comes through tonight further burying the Lakers into the bottom.

Then last but definitely not least.  Gimme the Suns only laying -10 in Durant first appearance.  Charlotte goes runnerless without ball on the court.  And the Suns are gonna be jamming.  Could see them winning by 20 just on adrenaline.

Good luck and enjoy the games everyone!

Big game for the Knicks tonight against the Celtics.  At this point in the season if they want a 4 or 5 spot they need to win games lime this at home.  Don't think many people are giving them a shot but I think they keep theor streK up here tonight and beat the celts at home.  The Knicks don't match up well against Philly and the Bucks but I actually think they match up well against the celts.  Maybe I'm wrong and they get blown out but they way they have been playing defense lately this one shoukd at least be a tight game.  Can't wait season is heating up finally.

Right, actually I'm one of those bettors who lay a line on the Knicks winning against the Celtics today, it's going to be very hard for them, but the way they are playing, I'll put and risk some money on them ML and at handicap.

It was reported that Jaylen Brown might not play, and so that could be an advantage for the Knicks as he was like averaging just a shade below 20 points. Someone from the Celtics team will have to cover that one. And then we have Brunson + Randle combo, and they are going to play in front of their home, so lots of screaming fans that can push the Knicks mentally.

Boom knicks win in a blowout.  They went up by double digits early on and never let go of the lead, almost a wire to wire.  I know brown was out but it was encouraging to see the Knicks dominate the game tonight.  We'd against the Nets.  Another big one as they are only a half game in front of them.  Time to create some space.  I like theor vibe right now haven't seen this in awhile.

Anyone in the community know more about YoBit? Has anyone done any due diligence on them? Are they trustworthy?

Please don't use this exchange.  There are countless amount of people who have gotten locked out of the exchange, they provide little to no customer service.  You literally could end up losing everything you send there without even trading a single thing lol.  Use one of the reputable exchanges there is no reason to use them.  If they happen to be the only exchange that has a market for the coin you own well then its probably not going to go anywhere anyway.

When I see this tweet from someone I cant imagine if the owner is where now. He didnt touch his asset for a very long time or is it that he is just still waiting for a great run? I do hope he isnt dead cause the money he left is really a huge one. Or if he loss his key is one of the surreal nightmare ever that will happened.  Lots of free airdrops and fork rewards to his wallet.

I haven't checked bur there are tons of addresses on higher ranked coins.  Quite simply it wasn't worth back then what it is now and the owner of those keys might have forgot about it or got locked out of it somehow.  Check older bitcoin addresses, there is a ton of dead money out there.

First up knicks +2.5 at home against the Celtics.  Yeah I know but jaylen brown is out and think the Knicks can suffocate Taytum enough.  Gimme the Knicks

Sixers -6 at home.  Hard loss against the celts the other night.  Think they roll this one.  Embid goes for 40 tonight

And gimme the Pelicans -4 yeah they got blown out in NY the other night but I think this one is a good matchup. 

Good luck everyone!!

Congrats go to Dame on his career night with one of the highest single game scoring performances in NBA history. The craziest thing about the story though is how the NBA pulled a vial of his blood immediately following the game for blood testing. Dame said it absolutely killed one of the greatest moments of his career and was the first time he ever had to give blood for a PED test.

That's just the NBA being the NBA lol.  I'm a huge Dame fan love his game so good for him.  Dude deserves to be recognized he has been buried in the non media attention getting northwest his whole career.  If he spent his time on a major market team he would be more widely considered one of the better players in the entire league.  Nobody wants to be up 1 or 2 with the game on the line having to guard dame.

Atlanta Hawks - Brooklyn Nets

I'm watching this game on stake.com and it's being a very balanced game, with the Hawks having a little advantage, at this rate the Hawks can win this game by a small difference in points, and the nets need to stay focused and calm and avoid making mistakes, every time they are only 2 points apart or even with the same points as the Hawks they start to make mistakes and the Hawks manage to stay in a 5 point advantage, it has been like this in every game and I am not seeing changes, so I see the Hawks winning this game but for a small difference in points, I'm waiting for the odds to increase so I can take the risk of betting on the Hawks to win the game

It's gonna be a close game, but I will also agree with you that the Hawks has a good chance to win this game on their homecourt.

2 minutes to go and they are leading by 4, but to increased the odds though, the Nets will have to comeback and tie or even take the lead for that odds swing. The good thing with the Nets right now is that it has balance scoring, from Bridges, to Dinwiddie to Cam Thomas to Cam Johnson.

New set of players that brings more from the Durant trade.

Edit: Trae Young with a difficult buzzer beater, Spencer behind him and almost block the shot.

That atlanta hawks game Finnish was crazy.  They were up 8 with a minute to go and Nets came all the way back to tie the game with a 3 only to have trey hit a 12 footer with .1 seconds left on the click lol.  I thought it was going to get blocked no clue how he got that ball off with 2 defenders dropped on him.  Good for me, the Knicks are now tied with the Nets for 5th place.  Knicks need a big win tomorrow night against the Celtics.

I am also thinking that he'll be able to assure the other new teammates from the Clippers that he'll also be adjusting quickly from them.
The Clippers will take him because they know that he'll be even be there to help them up maintain their position currently in the stats.

Russell Westbrook really knows how to adjust to a new team. It's just that the Lakers system is not fit with him even after playing for the team for a season and a half, especially when being handled by Darvin Ham who is terrible at doing playmaking strategy and poor rotation of the Lakers role players.

Westbrook critics think that no team in the league right now still wants his service but they are all wrong.

If utilized properly by the Clippers, Westbrook will be a good help to the team.


Westbrook will be fine.  The Lakers team the way it was constructed before the trade deadline was not going to win anything.  The bench was terrible and really nothing for russ to work with.  Clippers team is much more suited to his game then the Lakers were.  Slashing works well in the Clippers offense which is his bread and butter.  I expect a chip on his shoulder type playoff from him this year.
