Proving your point even further, Bitcoin is back up 13% since your comment - looks like today was just another opportunity for those looking to ride the roller coaster. Perfect opportunity for a media story about how much money the Winkelvi lost today.

The only thing that will make Bitcoin stable is if people start actually using it for ordinary transactions. Currently, Bitcoin is very rarely used to transact in goods and service. The only people transacting in Bitcoin are miners and speculative traders. Because it doesn’t have much use/utility currently, the…

He’s taller than 6'1". He was handily taller than everyone else in the and never looks short next to other politicians and execs. 6'3" is about right.

On the second question, no - there’s really two concepts of blockchain. One way to think of blockchain and bitcoin is that blockchain is an information technology idea, and bitcoin is a specific experiment with that idea. Blockchain is a ledger system, for tracking transactions and data, that can be hackproof and…

Honestly they’re not in that bad of shape. Roster turnover happens in the NFL. This team will still be OK because they have the most valuable piece of the franchise, Russell Wilson, locked in at a reasonably priced deal.

Sorry but how is the penalty for this hit longer than the penalty for JuJu Smith-Schuster’s hit on Vontaze Burfict? Schuster intentionally headhunted Burfict, a player who the Steelers have a lot of bad blood with, and stood there taunting him after knocking him out. That was obviously intentional.

There’s a more reasonable and nuanced version of this take. It’s fairly hard to evaluate Russell Wilson as a pocket passer because he rarely can be. People like to say he’s not as effective as a pocket passer, because when you watch the game you don’t see him make the type of throws that Brady and Manning make -…

I’ve been trying to decide what the best part of this receipt is, and narrowed it down to 3:

Ohhhh I get it now, the jokes become funny when they’re written in ALL CAPS.

I’m not a fan of Manchester City, and as an Arsenal fan I can’t help but grumble about how they’re only good because they spent a net $350M in 3 years and Pep has only ever won with superstars and needs to buy the perfect player at every position in order to coach his team....

Kind of a genius move by Lavar. At this point it’s clear that the 2 younger kids are not going to be lottery picks (and Liangelo likely would not get drafted), and aren’t really anything special. The problem is, he declared them to be special, and so if they end up ordinary, they are failures. If they go to UCLA, stay…

Being sent to live in Lithuania is a cruel and unusual punishment for shoplifting from a Louis Vuitton in China...

Awesome pump fake, but not that effective given how long it took him to get back down and get the shot off. He had more room to shoot on the first fake than on the follow up shot.

There’s a counter narrative out there that the wave of sexual harassment is a result of “PC police” deciding that previously quasi-acceptable behavior is now tantamount to sexual assault, and that all the good ol’ boys are at risk of being accused of sexual assault and losing their jobs all of a sudden. There’s a…

You forgot the part where only 200 people watched it.

The guy on the right in the last picture looks like an extra from Narcos.

They’re 4-5, are giving up the 2nd fewest points in the league, and scoring at a decent rate. The offense will obviously take some time to figure out because they have a completely revamped starting lineup including 2 ball stoppers. They will be fine. If they win 2 of those 1-score games, they’re ahead of the Spurs in…

Explains all the drops.

Can Deadspin stop its anti-football BS? All this criticism of the NFL and football generally, when we all know damn well that Deadspin, a sports site, would be dead in the water without football.

Glad Deadspin gets their pageviews by writing think pieces on how terrible Barstool is but at least gives them credit when borrowing content.
