    The Queen's Gambit

    I think what I was looking for was a bit more struggle. Losing at Speed chess and losing to the Russian twice didn't feel impactful because there were excuses behind those losses. The 2nd loss to the Russian she was hung over. And speed chess wasn't her forte, then she became a god at it and was...

    The Queen's Gambit

    You're defending this pretty hard, you're not going to convince me it was absolutely 100% believable. It just wasn't for me. I really loved the artistic direction and the acting was really good. I can't get behind the fact she was more of a prodigy than the others. Nothing in the show...

    The Queen's Gambit

    Did you sleep through the numerous parts where they strictly say she's an "intuitive player". The show was so confused on how to make her appear as a Prodigy that they literally threw everything at you. Drugs, intuition, obsession. The problem i have is it just doesn't come across as...

    The Queen's Gambit

    All of those people were obsessed with it though, it doesn't give her an edge and her moodiness is a huge fault. The reasons for her chess ability just seemed really strained and unbelievable. Any top tier professional chess player has crazy ability to think way ahead. I don't know what made...

    The Queen's Gambit

    I like the art direction & acting of the show but I couldn't get over the fictitious chess playing. Felt like there were no stakes at all. It's very clearly laid out and her chess playing is just explained as a gift rather than any sort of skill. A godly "intuitive" player. Seems lazy. The rise...

    I hardly ever do Expeditions but I believe deck size starts lower so Teemo is a lot stronger, also being able to add over 3x of key cards helps a lot.

    I like Viktor but he's an engine champ and not a closer. Zoe will probably be the closer for this archetype. He looks fun, a bit of RNG for sure. Pairing with Zoe (Targon) means you should have decent protection for him too. Getting Elusive, Tough, Regen, etc... will make him a beast, but that...

    interesting that the Mt.Gox saga isn't over yet. If these 140K coin get distributed price will likely drop a bit. 55K bitcoin were bought in November vs 28K mined, so 140K is about 5 months of supply from mining. Also Christmas drop is coming, and volume has already dropped since last month...

    Finished 3-2.... I won 2 of those to forfeits. Meaning I only played 3 rounds and won 1 of the 2. I feel like I got high rolled in the 2 losses pretty hard, oh well. I believe I get the card back, which is all I could have expected. My initial impression is that... wow, they really did a great...

    As I said last week, just a holiday dip. $19.8K reached today, I'm out at just over $19.5K , as it is dropping a bit. Might look to get back in on the next big dip, if there is one. But I'm happy to be out for now.

    I think the last time I posted was when LoR was dropping it's 1st expansion. Anyway, yea, it's a FTP model for the most part. They are doing some battlepass stuff, which is usually worth it. It's really not much different from HS except you can earn "Wildcards" and "Dust" (Shards) which both...

    We've been crucified in this thread before, but since you asked, LoR hits almost all of these. The weakest scene would be the streaming talent / popularity. I won't say more, already did that in the past and was chased away. In LoR you don't spend money on cards, you use it on *optional*...

    BTC almost $18.5 on Coinbase. Today seems very bullish so far compared to the last couple. I'll be greedy and ride it a bit longer, I said I'd try to wait for $18.5, I'm close to pulling the trigger but fun to ride the wave a little longer :) edit: just crossed 18.5 as I wrote this

    Some might try, I doubt it will work. I can't really comprehend how they would do it, without it just being Digital Fiat. What I see is BTC, or something like it, eventually becoming a reserve currency. And then overtime it surpasses USD as the primary reserve currency. Biggest issue I see...

    Don't be afraid of "missing out". There's always a dip. I'm going to try waiting for at least $18.5. This spike is making me nervous though. It can suddenly pull back any second really. Long term I do expect 20K+ but short term I see 14-17K for a while. When BTC halved the price was below...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Im really considering selling it all prior to the $20K. I feel like we'll be hovering in this range for quite a while, if it does hit 20K it'll definitely pull back, probably see 14-15K again before it gets much higher than 20K. So selling anytime between now & 20K seems safe.

    Bitcoin has been due to get closer to 20K again since it halved. Markets are up too because Republicans are still likely to control the Senate & have improved in the House. Bitcoin tends to follow the markets as well.
