Did anyone notice that Dana has been making 2 sex kittens fight in every recent event? Andrea Lee vs Montana  dela Rosa will be the fight to watch hehehe.

A player leaving the team after a winning season? Is this common in the NBA? I reckon the Raptors will give Kawhi a big bonus and a big increase to the money the pay him to keep him.

Toronto Raptors will surely offer a luring contract.

However, we all know that Kawhi did not really prefer joining the Raptors prior to the season. He just wants to get out from the vicinity of San Antonio Spurs so any 1-year deal with any teams will do. Now that he worked together with the Raptors especially they got the Larry O' Brien trophy, we don't know if something changes his mind along the way.

The Raptors has always been in the playoffs in recent years. He should try it for 1 more year, I reckon. He is the prince that was promised! We the north hehehe.

Bitcoin maxis say that their frat coin will get adaption thanks to Facebook Libra coin, whereas XRP gets adaption by being used in Moneygram.

When flippering?

You do not understand. Libra is a centralized network where it decides who will be its own validators similar to Ripple. It will also conceptually function similar to a bank and compete for banking partnerships versus platforms like Ripple.

Bitcoin is not about payments we got it long time ago, this is why it so useless.

What I said was not about bitcoin. I do not care about bitcoin. Bitcoin does not compete for banking partnerships versus Ripple, however, Libra will. Facebook also has the advantage of already having a network of connecting people together and has scaled it to billions of users.

@joniboini. I doubt it will not have users. Facebook's Libra might be what Ripple or Stellar want to be. To bank the unbanked in 3rd world countries. Facebook will succeed in where Ripple and Stellar has failed because it has already built the infrastructure to connect people together first and scaled it.

News update.

The truth will always come out and it has regarding to what has occured behind QuadrigaCX's closure. This is also embarassing, Gerald Cotten's wife was telling the media that his husband had a good heart by covering customer withdrawals from his own bank account. He was using customer deposits to speculate in other exchanges, however.

I reckon the next step in the investigation is to look for more evidence of his death. Is he really dead hehehe? He died in a region in India where the fake death syndicates are located.


Ernst & Young revealed that QuadrigaCX, a failed Canadian crypto exchange that lost almost $190 million of its users funds, may have committed fraud. Auditors found that the exchange’s late founder and CEO transferred user funds off QuadrigaCX and used them for margin trading on other exchanges, losing millions.

And in the end, AD still goes to Lakers. Damn, if I were the Pelicans they should have acted on the first drama to acquired Kuzma too then market the others.

Los Angeles Lakers will not make any transactions now involving Kuzm. Sealing this young guy at the franchise.

Lakers did the first move this post-season. What's next and what's team.

Following this: (these players are on the hot list prior to the opening 2018-19 season that is expecting to leave their respective team after the season).

-Kawhi Leonard

A player leaving the team after a winning season? Is this common in the NBA? I reckon the Raptors will give Kawhi a big bonus and a big increase to the money the pay him to keep him.

@Ronnie. I hope your team will consider and like it. I will start a thread if you have the odds available.

Before watching season 2, read this old article.

It has some of the odds available for that season.  You might want to do some imaginary bets hehehe.

@yusupjatigumilar. There are reasons why the government in any country do what they do. They want to spread fear and then make themselves needed and available to "keep you safe" hehehe. However, it is really an illusion made to control their citizens.

30k satoshis was supposed to be my entry but I made the mistake of waiting for Aeon to pump again so I can sell to buy Grin hehehe. The pump never came, however.

In any case, I will continue to wait for my Grin $0.50 dream. Cry

@Ronnie. Westworld is also a nice and unpredictable tv show that will be released next year, what do you reckon we begin another round of betting similar to the Game of Thrones hehehe?

@CrazyLoaf. Is this how desperate we are for hashrate hehehe? I reckon the community should push for Asic friendliness and also have the roadmap on how to transition by the end of this year.

We should learn something from Grin's transition.
6513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin, Dark Web, Drugs and Government. on: June 19, 2019, 03:53:31 AM
Drugs are often an excuse to make many other things illegal. They kill a lot to "save" people from this terrible menace.

They also mentioned that they were winning the drug war. This is false. The prohibition of drugs has only brought more money, guns and political power to the cartels.

The American government, the most powerful government in the world is already 5 decades into the drug war, however, nothing has changed. The amount of drug users has only grown in their country.
6514  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-06-15] IRS turning its attention to recreational bitcoin investors on: June 19, 2019, 03:25:38 AM
Would trading baseball cards for basketball cards among sports enthusiasts then also be a taxable event?
Yes:
You must include in gross income in the year of receipt the fair market value of goods or services received from bartering.
Generally the view is that if you barter, swap, or trade, any goods or services, for tax purposes it should be treated as two separate trades - first you initially sell your good for x dollars, and then you immediately buy the other good in question for the same amount. You then have to pay tax on the money received on the initial sell. This is can be complicated further by how much profit you made from selling the original good, how much the price changed while you owned it, how long you have owned it for, etc.

I have no doubt swaps and trades happen all the time without people paying tax on them, but as far as the IRS are concerned, they want their cut even if no cash is involved. Crypto is no different.

Ok, can I pay them from my collection of NBA basketball cards? There was no cash in the exchange, only cards. If they tax for example they tax me 10% for a trade, will they accept a 10% portion of the card?

I reckon this is a government in desperation. It cannot do anything to the cryptospace except lockdown on users on exchanges that have KYC. What can the government do if you personally give me bitcoin for an altcoin?

Tom Lee has spoken hehehe. This handsome looking guy appears to be looking more handsome from each dollar growth of bitcoin.

Also, he mentioned that everyone is silent about this bull market. I reckon he is talking about the mainstream media. Once mainstream media begins hyping bitcoin, be cautious hehehehe.



Having crossed above the $9,000 level on Sunday ahead of Facebook announcing its own cryptocurrency, Libra, bitcoin is now up 146% this year. But that could be just the beginning for its bounce back, says bitcoin bull and Fundstrat Global Advisors’ research chief Tom Lee.

“I think bitcoin is easily going to take out its all-time highs” of $20,000, and has the potential to run to $40,000 if its use cases grow, Lee said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Futures Now.” “We’re deep into a bull market, and people are pretty silent about it.”

@mich. No. That is very dangerous. For the sportsbook hehehe.

@swogerino. It might be team incompetence. The drivers were only unlucky to be in the team in a period where they cannot produce a winning car. Also, why did James Allison leave for personal reasons and only to return not to Ferrari but to join Mercedes?

Maybe you are right, even Mclaren is suffering from team incompetence but teams like Ferrari ,McLaren and Williams are the biggest names in F1 history so I hope they will be back stronger than ever and we will see a truly competitive F1 Championship that is been years missing in F1.

Probably true. Ferrari is nothing since Schumacher left. This is something that we will all agree. But thing this season McLaren starting to look promising after so many years in the dark. But think that they will need to produce good car on this I mean more aerodynamic. Rb is good on this they dont have speed but they produce excellent car on this.

Williams is near bankrupt so I dont think we will see them next year if they dont score one point.

The improved results and the possibility of success in McClaren's 2018 restructure might show on 2020. That is what they are hyping according to some articles.

In any case, can Ferrari again beat Mercedes during qualifying in France?
6517  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where's FOMO at? Tom Lee on: June 18, 2019, 02:33:55 AM
What would stop bitcoin from pumping to $20k this year if there would be hundreds of millions more in liquidations of short positions?

Tom Lee approves

FYI that's a picture of tom cruise, not tom lee. Wink

shorts are definitely ripe for squeezing on bitfinex. 25k BTC outstanding, outnumbering longs. it looks like ~7000 of those were added in the $8000s, so those bears must be sweating now. bitmex data is more opaque but i'm guessing trader commitments reflect similar sentiment.

If his predictions of new all time highs occur anytime in 2019, I reckon everyone will be looking at him like he was Tom Cruise hehehe.
6518  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-03-08] Facebook data dividend model by using issued coins as payment on: June 18, 2019, 01:55:57 AM
Will Facebook become the biggest financial issuer of a dollar pegged stablecoin and become the Federal Reserve of the internet? I reckon it might if it gets the support of the big American banks, those same banks that helped create the Federal Reserve itself.



There is a schism in the cryptocurrency community concerning Facebook’s foray into crypto. While some think that Facebook undermines Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of a decentralized cryptocurrency, prominent influencers, including Mike Novogratz and Anthony Pompliano, look at the bright side.

On the flip side, major Wall Street players seem to agree that Facebook’s stock will see plenty of love once the company unveils its much-talked-about crypto project.

SunTrust, MoffettNathanson, Bank of America stick with a “buy” rating on Facebook.

MoffettNathanson goes as far as claiming that the Mark Zuckerberg-led company aims to become the biggest e-commerce platform on the planet.

"We believe a Facebook cryptocurrency-based payments system could be especially useful in countries with high inflation/unstable banking systems and for cross-country remittances. So, Facebook’s commerce ambitions do not appear to be limited to developed markets. Rather, Facebook has its eyes set on becoming the world’s leading ecommerce platform as well.”

@o_e_l_e_o. Would trading baseball cards for basketball cards among sports enthusiasts then also be a taxable event? For the lack of laws defining cryptocoins, I reckon they can only be something similar to collectibles.

@acroman08. I shake my head to these people who use bitcoin for the darknet. Someone should advice the leaders of those drug syndicates in your country to use Monero or they will be sorry.
