  1. damn, not the response anyone wanted. Bullock picked a hell of a time to go ice cold. I guess that is the fallacy of needing 'one of these guys' to step up every game vs expecting a proven badass to be themselves to win. When all of the step up candidates wilt, it's Luka and the spares. gotta think we will be hearing Mr. Cash cover 'Hurt' soon.
  2. latent lust between Porterhouse and Texilla not going away
  3. put in an order on this one supposed to ship first week of June or so. total newb on watches but taking some ill-gotten gains and wanted a moon phase. was very taken with this one and pulled the trigger.
  4. not interested in your trouser snek
  5. i was getting used to Danny pimp slapping hyperbole Corby...le sigh
  6. curious on what people in this threads 'strategies' are. - buy and hold. dca on monthly/weekly buys. mostly BTC and top alts - not really timing the market, but having no issues getting 100% in fiat and set buying and selling targets with goal to stack fiat - buy/sell memecoins based on tweets i fall into the middle category with the goal to stack fiat at the end of the day. i really only keep ETH on hand and that's to degen around in NFTs. After any decent sale i will normally convert most of the ETH to USDC or something.
  7. just speculating, but after Mike left, for better or worse, Danny had a lot more airtime on the show. if he got no pay increase, no increased title/role then i can see getting pissed when cumulous probably told him to stfu and stay in his producer lane.
  8. that's why this year being in the final 4 is the Mavs best chance at a title for a few years. As someone said earlier in this thread (or maybe the Mavs one) that they will believe Dallas can attract a big time FA the moment after it finally happens. this is a golden chance with the only obstacle to the Finals being a Warriors team that is damn good but not at their peak from a few years ago.
  9. did they actually sell it on an exchange or give it away to some key holders to try and make them less pissed/whole?
  10. yeah, that's throwing the horns down level bad and hence the ensuing karmic correction. i just wish we could hear the smack between Luka and the Suns fans down there in first quarter.
  11. to be fair, Kidd called him out too for shitty defense. Luka responded.
  12. i don't view it as that differently, but I am not a buy and hold crypto person. Buy and hold people, in general, are not keeping their BTC/ETH in a CEX, but in their own wallet. So setting up a stop loss sale is difficult from that perspective (or maybe i just don't know how to do it). Whales are highly manipulative (sometimes seemingly in conjunction with the CEXs) so it's hard to read the tea leaves and guess the direction of the market. Easier to buy and hold, but must have stomach for huge swings and you are counting on entire market going on a sustained run to lift a long period of DCA buys from the ATH. Whales want to make money too. they still need to buy low and then move the market higher to sell. You cannot time the bottom and top, but lots try to draft the whales moving the market up. If you set areas to take profit and set SL to limit losses, it comes to resemble stock trading whether one sees any intrinsic value or not. crypto can be easily traced. that's the point. if a gov agency wants to find out where money is going and who it is, they likely can. amateurs find and dox crypto scammers all the time by tracking how wallets interact to follow the crypto. tracking is not recovering though and obviously freezing like with a traditional bank is not happening, but they can keep an eye on suspect wallets and pounce when it's moved to fiat.
  13. This is what i don't get from all the Suns fans saying "we needed a big man" when defending the #1 overall pick. No one needs a big man to have success. That is not the same as saying you cannot have success with a big man. Luka posted up more times than Ayton in the series (and got more rebounds, lol) but when bigs are getting torched on defensive switches and/or getting pulled out of the lane to hedge the corner 3 there is a strong argument that the cons outweigh the pros to having them on the floor for long stretches. When Ayton was effective, he would slide up the high post and sorta invite his defender to help on a baseline drive and open up that easy dish for a dunk. He needs to play like Shaq and bully opponents each game by battering into them on the block. make the refs determine what is allowed and what is not. otherwise, any player can get a jump hook off in the lane and he brings no advantage. if you allow a smaller player to guard you and are not creating a need for a double team, a true big should not be out on the floor.
  14. Spencer cemented that win. Luka was balling out from the tip, but every other starter was playing nervous on offense, not hitting anything. Suns could have easily come back but SD came out confident and on fire. Then JB took over in the 3rd and removed any doubt that the Mavs were going to throttle the Suns.
  15. damn. so this dude bet the Terraform Labs CEO (creator of LUNA) $10MM that the price of Luna would be lower than $88 by March 2023. After the crash, he just bought 120K shares of LUNA for < $1 to cover the bet should LUNA recover by then. fucking lol. https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/145739/trader-doubles-down-on-10-million-bet-against-do-kwon-by-shorting-luna the bet is supposedly escrowed.
  16. biggest win was buying tether (USDT) when people were panic selling below $1. people were literally selling a $1 for 80-90 cents when it appeared that it was 'depegging' i remember being mad a few weeks ago that my last transaction on Luna was getting a SL hit at 92.50 to close out my entire position, because of course it wicked straight up right after that. cannot imagine riding that down all the way. everyone has their own strategies, but holding something just for the sake of holding and never willing to sell or put in a SL seems like a bad play in crypto.
  17. yep, that's what it was. not a margin call, but their own loan backed by BTC.
  18. maybe tomorrow lol. i've been straight cash homey for while outside those failed SOL buys and quick SL hits. btc zoomed through 34K, just plowed through 31K and south of 30.5K as I type. i cannot chart to save my life, but I think that's bad. ETH longers are still getting punished, but the good news is that as more people convert to doom and gloom outlook, the whales will change direction or at least pump fake. LUNA has gotten the stuffing beat out of it. almost 50% down since wed. what's the price where Saylor's company explodes? BTC at 22K is where they have margin calls on their collateralized loans due is what i remember reading a few days back.
  19. wife wanted to go for mom's day. we and the kids had consumed wandavision and the what ifs so pretty much knew what was going on.
  20. yeah, ctwitter is melting down for the most part. lots of sell-shaming people who are exiting stuff at a big loss. beside the 610 of APE i kept to mint the otherside deeds, i exited above 20. but yeah, NFTs and crypto are both down. in the past a lower eth would drive some decent NFTs pricing, but no one wants to play right now. made some SOL buys this morning but put a SL in right after. people are still pouring money into BTC longs so I think the whales will keep crushing them until they stop. everything could keep going down.
  21. seems pretty fucked up that they cannot go after the service company. Are you liable if you take your gun to the repair shot and either by accident or malice two employees were involved with a shooting?
  22. was exhausted and tapped out after the 3rd. what a beatdown the 4th turned out to be. was browsing tix for game 4, depending on how they look in Game 3, they might be pretty cheap
