    AFL overtaking NRL in QLD

    Funny because I've lived in Brisbane 3 times and only at one workplace has anyone ever cared about NRL. Even then, they mostly only ever watched Origin anyway.

    Expansion 3rd Western Australian club

    1. Who would they represent? 2. WA talent pathways aren't that great currently due to a lack of incentive from Freo & WCE to invest in them. Why bother when your best players go to other clubs? 3. There's already a significant difference in the amount of WCE supporters to Freo ones. A third team...

    Victorian AFL clubs raked in $40m from poker machines last financial year

    AFL/clubs 'rely' on gambling because it's easy money. They don't have to actually get creative and come up with new revenue boosting initiatives, because the gambling money just flows in. If gambling revenue was taken away tomorrow, they'd completely collapse, because they have NFI how to come...

    Victorian AFL clubs raked in $40m from poker machines last financial year

    I remember when smoking advertising was banned during sport, yet here we are with 15 Sportsbet/Bet 365 ads being rammed down our throats every ad break. It's ridiculous.

    Dunno, not me. Their project has been implemented so incredibly poorly.

    Sure, there's a lot of scams. There's a lot of legit projects. Metaverse has some interesting concepts in regards to VR, still in its infancy though. Opportunity is there to make big gains, as well as big losses. Just depends on your tolerance to risk.

    Right. You just made my point of "You can really tell who the boomers/people who have NFI about cryptocurrency are in this thread." Thanks for coming.

    How about we offer real initiatives to aid Indigenous talent for 2023. NOT JUST TALK?

    Not sure extra list spots are required, they can already come onto lists via the Cat B category after all. It'd probably be more appropriate for coaching/support staff to undergo cultural sensitivity training to gain greater empathy when working with players from remote indigenous backgrounds...

    What? You titled your thread all caps, no need to shout.

    How about we offer real initiatives to aid Indigenous talent for 2023. NOT JUST TALK?

    Hopefully we can start by teaching them to use capslock appropriately when starting forum threads.

    The AFL reliance on sports gambling (Age Article)

    You need to stay off those gambling sites if you don't want to see the ads..

    So are Fiat and Visa. How many transactions per second can you do down at Woolies, or at the bar, with cash directly from your wallet?

    Crypto Sponsorship for the AFL - and now NFTs

    People buying obviously, however when an exchange first starts up the exchange itself provides the initial liquidity, otherwise people can't trade. they are actual assets you can move off the exchange and store in a private wallet. You only need to look at the available supply of Bitcoin and...

    No, we're not. There's a liquidity pool you can swap tokens into, it doesn't require another buyer, as the exchange will swap cash for crypto and vice versa.

    Lol what? You have no clue. They have to hold the crypto to be able to trade it on their exchange. Seriously, just stop. You have NFI.

    Crypto Sponsorship for the AFL - and now NFTs

    That's completely wrong, you're describing the stock market. The Excchange actually does purchase, or get provided, the tokens for trade. Otherwise, how on earth do you think you can send it to a private wallet? You can always sell in crypto without someone having to buy. Seems a LOT of...

    Crypto Sponsorship for the AFL - and now NFTs

    Stealing people's music and selling them as NFTs. Pretty disgraceful behaviour but quite commonplace in the NFT space unfortunately. Not like Loud Market, who have signed up nearly 500 independent artists who mint their own music and set their own selling price and royalty fee. Owners make...

    The main negative talking points raised in this thread would indicate that no, they actually don't have much of a clue beyond mainstream news articles.

    How do 15 year olds buy crypto, other than their parents enabling them?

    Crypto Sponsorship for the AFL - and now NFTs

    Well they shouldn't. Go on YouTube though these days and if you look up investing, the algorithm will pummel you with eToro and similar stockbroking ads. All investment comes with risk, we should cancel real estate ads also in this case. Having said that, whilst I understand there are...

    Good. That's why I said I hope you're not one complaining about the environmental impact, considering you've mentioned your investments into lithium before. For the record, I was too lazy to check if you had made comments regarding Bitcoin's power usage.

    Crypto Sponsorship for the AFL - and now NFTs

    I certainly agree that the reliance on fossil fuels needs to go but at what cost? It's easy for us living our comfortable lives to feel good about ourselves driving our electric cars and using renewables instead of fossil fuels to feel good about doing our part for the environment. That's cold...

    So you're cool with destroying the earth, taking advantage of indigenous populations and utilising child labour? It's fine as long as you make money, right? Just don't want you to portray yourself as a hypocrite is all. This 'renewables revolution' isn't as clean as you may think it is. Far...

    Very much hope you're someone who doesn't complain about the environmental 'impact' of Bitcoin then.

    Crypto Sponsorship for the AFL - and now NFTs

    There always could be growth, depends on other countries adopting it like El Salvador has. On chain data suggests the big players are buying and moving off chain so it'll likely go the way of gold in my opinion. Other cryptos either don't use proof of work, or are moving away from it. They...

    Crypto Sponsorship for the AFL - and now NFTs

    But that's the point, there aren't as many transactions, nor will there likely every be, so it's a moot point because other cryptos don't have the power consumption of Bitcoin.
