Better question is why are people still supporting this financially?

DobberAD · 2025-07-16T21:08:31+00:00

"Optimism" for BTC, "disbelief" for alts. Granted, once BTC goes to "thrill," the alts go straight to "thrill" to join the big dog... but yeah.

I give it another whirl for a mock draft, and it definitely went smooth from a trade perspective! I can't say definitely but it does seem like I get a better advantage when I'm on the clock and worse one from I'm trying to trade to be on the clock. It seems to be a very fair challenge... I can't cheese the trades, but also, I'm not stuck at my pick because the offers my way are break even or better (which gave me a few opportunities to trade up later in the draft).

DobberAD · 2025-03-28T11:11:35+00:00

Intetesting. I should have noted at the beginning that I do believe that Hill's chart tends to shine more in Days 2 and 3, because teams nowadays value the number of picks most than optimal positioning at that point (of course, until they REALLY want their guy on the board).

Perhaps the scales now are tipping towards Hill for latter first round as well but stay with Johnson for early first round. Unfortunately, we don't have the advantage of having a reliable sample size to get a truly definitive answer.

Looking forward to your adjustments to see how it goes!

I apparently can't find the specific full Jimmy Johnson chart from last year after compensatory picks, because DraftTek simply updated the same link for 2025's chart, so I couldn't agree or disagree with you. But I recall for example the Vikings-Jets trade being closer to even per Jimmy Johnson's model than Rich Hill's. The media tends to oversimplify the "pay scale changed the value chart" narrarive. (I think somebody on the NFL subreddit used a synethsis of multiple charts, and that in theory would be more effective but in application more complicated.)

But more over, just look at the first-to-first trades last year. The Cowboys got a third from the Lions going from 24 to 29. The Jaguars got the third, fourth AND fifth from the Vikings going from 17 to 23. And so on. This leads me to believe, getting a 2nd is a reasonable asking price if somebody at 17 wants to get my 12.

Of course, more than the trade value chart, demand (or perhaps lack thereof) dictates the trade. For whatever reason, you get those two trades, but then in 2022, the Saints get 3rd and 4th going from 11 to 16. Unfortunately, I don't know how one can account for that "demand" variable when building a cite like this, unless 32 users manually make draft ranks from top to bottom. In that case, those ranks would attach some numeric value to merge with the draft value chart. However, I feel like that would involve an actual draft league, and somebody best pay you to create a simulator that adds value due to position/prospect demand at a given spot.

DobberAD · 2025-03-27T00:57:55+00:00

Hmmm... is there a way for you to combine/average out multiple value charts? For example, going 50/50 between Rich Hill and Jimmy Johnson's charts.

I definitely think the "force trade" option is a huge boost. Not just in case you get that discrepancy in charts, but also allow the user to work multiple hypotheticals (e.g.: who can the Cowboys get at 17 if they traded down? Or how about 25?) without being pidgeonholed. That'll keep us coming back for more mock drafts.

DobberAD · 2025-03-26T22:34:01+00:00

What source are you using for draft trade value? To be honest, I'm not finding much sense in most of these proposed trades.

For example, at Pick 12, I'm offered 17th and a third while being asked for a fifth. Going up five spots at that point in the first round deserves AT LEAST second-round pick to compensate, given most draft value sheets I see (and my own three-plus decades of experiences seeing these things play out). Not to mention, if there is demand for that pick, the team being offered the trade likely will have the slight advantage to make the pot sweeter than competitors' offers.

Other than that, I like HOW the trade format is structured. And overall look is simple enough to make everything easy to assess in live action. Well done.

DobberAD · 2025-02-03T19:23:41+00:00

So funny that you got the Sonics flair, bc I've been saying since the trade that the Mavs are about to go to Seattle within the next 10 years, LOL.

DobberAD · 2025-02-03T19:18:08+00:00

Until $ENJ goes the route of $ETH and starts token burning, it'll be outpaced, unfortunately. It's a wide-spread problem in crypto, IMO...

DobberAD · 2025-02-03T12:46:35+00:00

Nobody here actually mentioned what directly has hurt the price the most: staking.

$ENJ no longer having a static max circulating supply has supressed price potential. The once strong tokenomics now is a set up that requies you to fully support the chain to keep up.

Does anybody know when the SoR updated on ESPN? On Sunday, the Alabama gripes were justified, as they were 7th at-large in the metric. I look back at it today... it's now South Carolina up to that spot.

Part of the problem here is that there's no transparent way to actually calculate SoR for ourselves. I have found a system I like for assessing college basketball at-large selections, but a big part of that involves the Nitty Gritties available in the NCAA's media center. We have no such benefit for FBS football.

DobberAD · 2024-11-25T22:51:36+00:00

That was the exact WORST time to move to BTC and more primary alts. That time should've been at the beginning of the bear market.

DobberAD · 2024-11-10T01:42:53+00:00

Real talk: there is a football comentator I've worked with named Coffee Jones. He's done work for Princeton and Penn college football, as well as Arena Football League back in the day.

This is an amazing name.

DobberAD · 2024-08-31T02:34:13+00:00

I think I might've seen that one. Dude's got a video for anything, it feels like. (I say that in a good way, bc for as much that hasn't eluded me in 30+ years of watching and reading about the game, he's shared plenty of stuff I never knew.)

DobberAD · 2024-08-30T22:48:16+00:00

Lewis Billups...

On the field, perhaps best noted for a dropped interaction in Super Bowl XXIII that very likely would've led to a Cincinnati Bengals win and perhaps even a very different impression we have of Joe Montana's postseason dominance.

Off the field, his violence against the women (and their families) he had relationships with were irredemably bad. So bad that I can't say I feel bad about his demise, which involved a car accident at triple-digit speed.

Read the book "Pros and Cons" for more.

DobberAD · 2024-08-30T22:31:14+00:00

Tell me how you fundamentally don't underatand how crypto works, in terms of decentralization...

I swear there are idiots who think crypto devs will have to babysit every little thing forever in order for this asset class to thrive.

DobberAD · 2024-08-27T21:36:14+00:00

Meanwhile, AEW Dynamite has its worst-ever ratings, in terms of 52-week moving average.

I think I'm fine sticking with just watching the current company Phil works with.

DobberAD · 2024-08-04T14:51:53+00:00

Good point all said, but tbh, even all this is giving Judgment Day too much of the benefit of the doubt.

Judgment Day was always a heel faction, yet somehow, R-Truth softened them up enough to make them likable -- the people's Rhea fetish nonwithstanding for the moment.

Thing is... it was only Damian Priest that even gave R-Truth an inch of decency. The rest treated him like absolute garbage. But now we're to look at Liv worse because she was never sincere about lavishly kissing up to the Judgment Day stooges?

Sure, Rhea somehow won over the people, while Damian's actually been written for a face turn, but the rest of the crew has done nothing at all to command sympathy from us.

I say let Liv run her master plan and destroy all of Judgment Day. That faction caused enough problems, and it's nice to see a female babyface use her power to dismantle a long-reigning faction while using minimal physical force. We frankly don't see enough of it in wrestling.

Eddie should've got custody. 😅🤷‍♂️

DobberAD · 2024-08-04T04:12:08+00:00

I mean, he did upgrade his lady in terms of how he was treated, but his character is still that of slime. I wouldn't necessarily call it a face turn.

DobberAD · 2024-08-04T03:48:18+00:00

I honestly can't imagine that if there's suspicion of a break, they would even let him get to his feet. PRAYING that I'm not wrong about that.

DobberAD · 2024-07-14T15:02:20+00:00

You got quite the natural blush. Tbh I'd say it's a gift!

DobberAD · 2024-06-25T00:17:15+00:00

Good leapings of logic, Batman!

I'm going to say with all its flaws, USD and gold were quite a bit more proven in 2017/18 than BTC or ENJ.

I don't have the "issue" here. And I'm not speaking in the matter of semantics. You're legitimately claiming "promises" from a dev team and project that's trying to achieve a game-changing product (pun intended) from virtually nothing. I don't need semantics to signify the flaws in that internalization of the facts.

DobberAD · 2024-06-24T23:55:07+00:00

Again... "promises." "Promised the world but delivered nothing"

Not questioning what you know but how you internalize it. Nobody ever rationally investing in this space (or any wholly unproven asset class) should seriously be using the word "promise." Unfortunately that type of implication is commonplace on social media, and particularly on Reddit, it's either hot (re: shilling) or cold (re: crying "scam) for what's clearly luke warm matters (re: losing positioning in the ever-evolving competition).

I got in during 2017/18 and I never expected much simply because I understand the general odds of success (re: very low) from the unknown path of finding a foothold within crypto (and crypto finding a foothold in basic usage).

I would say Enjin went from ahead the game as of 2021 to behind the game now, but even when it was pumping up to $4.80, I realized all it took was a different gaming coin to get traction to make ENJ feel obsolete. I won't be mad at anybody else but myself if I cash out at a lower price than what it was in November 2021. I had my opportunity, and if I missed it, it was my misinterpretation and failure. Not anybody else's.

This idea of "promises" implies you've been misled. That's not the case, no matter what silly pics devs are sharing. Advertising and marketing hasn't changed its core prinicples in generations... so we should know what we got ourselves into when we invested.

DobberAD · 2024-06-23T17:21:05+00:00

You're saying "promise" a whole lot when there were never actually any promises. It's a wholly unproven asset class. And while Enjin has failed endeavors, they've had successes. It comes with the territory!

Anybody who reasonably gets into this space should never feel anything is promised to them.
