🇪🇸✅🇺🇸 Olympics mens basketball USA Advances to the Semi Finals 

 
I may not have been posting, but I have been glued to the Olympics. I like it so much that I wish I could watch all the sports, or at least all the sports that the US is competing in. Saw this game and the one before it. Swimming, gymnastics, volleyball, you name it - and of course my old sport - track and field.

Believe it or not, I was on a relay team that won the Junior Olympics, held the national record and were just all around big time in the kiddie scene. Thank goodness I started young because I did not grow up with the body of an Olympian. The rest of me caught up with my then long legs along with too many curves. Oh well, I would not have had the discipline for it anyway.

But enough about the far distant glory days. I would love to go to the Olympics again what it comes to L.A. I was lucky enough to attend the last time and it was a fantastic experience. Yeah, I'm old. But you will never feel as patriotic as being at the Olympics shouting USA USA all day long. Tickets were by lottery so you have to apply for twice as many events as you can afford and hope for the best. We were pretty lucky with our draws and only got one dud which was the bronze medal match in men's basketball. It was like Hungary vs Bulgaria or some such uninteresting match. Had 3 sets for track, the gold medal women's volleyball game  (which we lost to China) and a couple nights of boxing back in the day when it was great. Saw Evander Holyfield before anyone knew who he was.

OK I've droned on long enough, but I don't have many people who are into sports like I am so I will be happy to hear any of your impressions on the Olympics. Simone Biles? Poor Connor Fields? 

 
@2earls wow! What an experience i only watch fiba on the Olympics because im a hugeeeee durant fan… whats the latest on simone? 

 
She came back and competed in the balance beam and got a bronze medal behind a couple Chinese gymnasts. I felt bad for her teammate Suni Lee because she ended up in 4th so I am sure she wished Simone had stayed out of it.

I have been conflicted about how I felt with Simone quitting. At first I had no sympathy and had the mindset that GOATS can't be quitters. Like someone said Tom Brady could not quit at halftime because he threw some interceptions and say he wasn't in a good head space. Then after I listened to her interview I thought who am I to judge? She is the one who will most likely suffer with regrets and "what ifs?".

As usual our men's team sucked. 

 
@2earls i think the media is making simone situation is worse than it needs to be daying she dosent have her ritZz crackers no thats debunked lol

  2. S @ sawganaut: I bet btc bottom is in
  3. D @ dragnetopher: No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.
  4. xenxra @ xenxra: there is no shortage of whales - https://tikolu.net/i/fmnru.png
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: tokenisation is not a plan its already been happening for months, ive been trading this whole move on silver through ethereum
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: you think whales are dumping bitcoin because of something everyone has known about for like 4 years? what does bitcoin liquidity have to do with trading tokenized assets? they don't have pooled liquidity.
  7. D @ dragnetopher: Whales are tanking BTC due to the fact that the future is coming now, literally. There’s a plan to tokenize every single asset possible. This is whales dumping so they can have liquidity for the Springtime.
  8. xenxra @ xenxra: @Gulp2788 this is a terrible spot to buy bitcoin haphazardly because it's going down another $5k -$7k if 80,000 doesn't hold. i told everyone to get the fuck out of bitcoin at $103k. it's better to buy late when the bottom is more certain than throw darts and act like the opposite outcome was unavoidable just because it went down "a lot" and everyone seems to be "freaking out". wait for it to get back over 85k
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @aarons the last time i said monero was on discount in here it went up 5x in 3 months
  10. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: good opportunity to buy more btc if you are gonna do so imo, me I'm buying the btc to switch into better currencies
  11. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: bah politics, no need to worry BTC is a honeypot anyway
  12. fishladder @ fishladder: down since trump
  13. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: btc has been hovering around 90k for a year everyone is freaking out tbh I am laughing
  14. shoutback @ shoutback: Wow wasn't btc just at 120K or something?
  15. shoutback @ shoutback: Also 1.Usyk 2.Inoue 3.Crawford top 3 and anyone thinks anything else they are crazy
  16. shoutback @ shoutback: So what? No fight fans here?
  17. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: xmr has always been what bitcoin wanted to be
  18. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: On one hand I would like to see Danrnold finally get his ring after all he’s been through, but on the other hand drake maye taking the pats to the SB in his 2nd year? Idk which I want to see. I’m not a fan of either, I’m a joe shiesty kinda guy lol WHO-DEY
