He’s as smart as anyone who bought a winning lotto ticket and no more.

Nah, I’m good. I am prepared to miss it completely. The Superbowl, too.

nobody’s shitting on him for making money on Bitcoin. We’re shitting on him because he’s an arrogant little fucking twat for saying “if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault.”

He gambled on something arbitrarily worth 1K and won big. He’s lucky, not necessarily smarter than anyone else. I don’t think people here are butt hurt over him making a lot of money that isn’t backed by anything. They’re annoyed that a 19 yr old kid with zero life experience thinks he’s now qualified to lecture…

All investments are gambles at one level or another.

Kid took a gamble with money he didn’t earn and it paid off in the short-term. Let’s not over estimate his intelligence.

Yeah I want to see that smug son of bitch broke, just him not anyone else.

I’m not saying they can’t. There are two outcomes for alternative currencies - either the current financial regime gets in on it or destroys it. I don’t know enough about BTC to know if the powers that be can or can’t get into it - but I don’t need a crystal ball to know what they’ll do if they can’t get in on it.

Sorry...I got my numbers confused. I did the calculation mistaking that he had 60% and not the true number, 40%. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. Serves me right for being too quick to get the comment out.

I mean it probably sounds like a dick thing to say, but you had to have seen this coming. Did Cryptocurrency people really think that World Powers and World Banks weren’t going to either want a piece of the action, or to summarily execute a rapidly growing competitive currency that they couldn’t get in on?

This is one of those deals where the winner and loser is defined by how you evaluate risk. An above-average starter with one year left on his deal and a mid-first round pick for a guy who could end up becoming one of the worst contracts in the history of professional sports if he gets hurt again, or is a top-15 player…

I gotta give the guy points for creativity as to asking for a few minutes alone with this dirtbag.

The only thing the league should do is ban this fan for life

Assault does not necessarily involve a physical attack. Assault is any action that causes the other person to fear bodily harm. It can be a slap, a punch or a shove, but it can also be a verbal threat of violence, aggressive posturing (a raised fist, jabbing a finger) or yelling angrily in someone’s face.

Space they should be? He’s on the court screaming in his face. I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not.

I mean, I suppose if you wanted to get dead, there are worse ways to do it than aggressively confronting an adrenaline riding Russell Westbrook.

His balls, of course, have long since entered Valhalla

“But not my pissant daughter.”

“...and I’d really like to thank my son.”

He is at fault for the volleyball, Wilson, dying in Cast Away. He then comes home and makes Helen Hunt feel like shit for thinking he was dead. I consider him the villain.
