I don't think Paul will agree he is a boxer never train like an MMA and he likes it this way because he knows MMA fighters are good at takedowns, he doesn't want to see his face mess up while an MMA is on top of him pounding him, boxing is a safe route, you'll not get pounded if you go down and you'll get a mandatory 8 counts, MMA is more dangerous than boxing you can break your bones, and your face smash.
If you are not aware of the wrestling skills of Jake Paul he is a wrestler in high school and he has won competitions, so you cannot say that Jake Paul does not know wrestling but he transitioned to boxing well and i have no idea about his submission skills, but i am sure he can hold his own if it is pure wrestling as well.
I do accept it is not easy to master all the techniques in MMA and it will take a long time to master these.

The problem i see with Tyron Woodley is that he is not in his prime shape and age is not in his side and he is on a loosing streak in the UFC and i do not remember when he last knocked out anyone because he was having the knockout power in the past but somewhere he missed that trigger.

I tend not to put too much weight, on the actual weigh ins or how they conduct themselves in the press conference. I've done it before, and usually it means nothing. Even recently with Ferguson I thought he looked good leading up to the fight with Dariush, and that didn't turn out all too well. The only time which I actually consider the weigh in is when someone misses weight, as that usually indicates a bad weight cut, and they couldn't quite do it.
I do agree with this as some of the fighters looks really weak and we will never expect them to fight that well depending on the looks but they end up winning the bout and it was especially evident when Conor McGregor was fighting at 145 pounds, all his weigh ins looks really bad and a few times i placed a bet against him thinking there is no way he is going to recover from that weight cut but he ended up winning all of his matches in that division.
Tony Ferguson was on a loosing streak but he was confident and i expecting him to return to his winning ways if he ever wanted to compete for the title again and now that window is closed.

Shouldn't we concentrate our efforts on using clean renewable energy, rather than restrict our use of it?

Frankly, if there is a problem with too much energy consumption, we should go back and live in caves, and hunt in groups.
It is not about the problem about energy consumption which is renewable, but using fossil fuels and coal to create that kind of energy and if the majority of the electricity is made from renewable energy then no one will be having any problems.

Today CZ made a great tweeted about energy consumption, Elon Musk who is creating electric vehicles is complaining about Bitcoin's electric usage and boycotting them, this is hypocrisy to the highest level Cheesy.

The days for the btc are over unless elon dies.
There is no point giving too much emphasis on a single person, we have seen many savior like figures in the past and some even back stabbed and moved on and some scammed their way and ended in legal troubles and some are giving too much importance to individuals which should be avoided, if is always good to learn about the meaning of decentralization  Tongue.

Whether the market rises or not is a different story and it depends upon huge investors who have a major investment in the market and there are multiple investment firms that hold more than $10 Billion worth of Bitcoin and they can have control over the market depending how they are going to do with the coins they are holding.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: June 03, 2021, 07:37:38 PM
I do not get this obsession with being maskless. I mean why do people want to remove their mask so much? What is the purpose of a mask? It is to prevent either you getting covid or you spreading covid, that is the only reason right? So if I am wearing a mask there is a big chance that I will be safe or others will be safe from me, that's something I love to do, I would do that for years if it means I would be saving others or myself from death.
There are stupid people out there and there is nothing we can do about that, all we can do is to take our precautions and i am not even confident to walk into a crowded place even now even though the situation is not that bad like in the past. But we have to take our precautions and vaccines does not help in either as there is a high chance of infection if you are exposed even if you are vaccinated


Why are we rushing into being maskless, why do people want it so much? I get that some people find it "uncomfortable" but let's be honest, those people would be the first ones to wear it, people who do not mind it are not the reason, people who do not want it are the reason we have laws to mask people anyway. It's weird, you tell someone "would you wear a mask to prevent yourself or others from dying" and they reply with no, what type of people are these?
These stupid people are the reason why governments are forced to come out with strict rules and regulations.

I don't know if it's the browser I'm using or what, but the site doesn't allow me to place individual bets anymore.  I can only place multibets.  It has been this way for a while, but in the past I've always been able to use the multibet window to make individual bets so it wasn't an issue.  I seem to have lost that ability with the last update and this will seriously effect my ability to place bets.  Is anyone else having this issue or knows how to resolve it on my end?
Which browser you are using, i am not facing any issues and i am able to bet and there is only a 20 second delay if i am placing the same bet again, the rest is fine with me and never faced any issue. You could reach the live support and they will sort your issue.

Francis Ngannou the UFC Heavyweight champion is the newest addition as the brand ambassador of Stake, looks like we will be having more news in the coming months  Smiley.
1107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No One Can Shut Down Bitcoin on: June 02, 2021, 08:02:13 PM
It's very impossible for the world to lose its internet. There's already some backups that are on the space to provide internet access for some areas and that's why if there's a world problem about internet, they'll use that. We probably don't know how it's going to be possible to lose the internet worldwide but there could be a way but that won't happen because it would lose not only billions of money combined for every country affected.
It is possible for internet disruption if there are natural disaster and we have seen that in the past and then we have experienced that when the underwater sea cables were damaged in the past and no one was able to log online for a while and the internet connections were really slow during that period and so this the reason i am telling that it is possible that we can face internet disruption but that does not mean that the entire Bitcoin network can be shut.

CZ seem to have a hang on how to keep binance from falling.  It is however dangerous for Cryptocurrency ecosystem that a centralized point of failure is controlling large percentage of Cryptocurrency market share!
We have seen some big failures in the past and you never know when they are sinking until the last moment and we have many exchanges who looked invincible but ended up closing down after a few months after a major hack and Binance is not stranger to hackers as they lost millions and we have no idea whether they have tested everything and can very well vouch that nothing like that can happen again, i doubt they can vouch like that.

That is how it is a man always need to keep his promise to his beloved mother I am just missing how the way he fights and pretty much curious in the fact that is there no one that could ever beat him in his style, and surely I would miss the excitement when he is fighting and while I am having a bet for sure, the way that it feels will be sorely missed And speaking of Jon Jones he will surely be having a hard time in the heavyweight division but I guess that is how it is
I respect everything Khabib Nurmagomedov does and he is a breath of fresh air who does not go after money but rather sticking on to his words is a new in this day and age.  The UFC and Dana White do not want to allow Jon Jones to dictate his future and his biggest mistake was when he vacated the Light Heavyweight title and now he does not have any leverage to negotiate.

Oh! I think I have seen Khamzat Chimaev's style but I don't recall any Islam Makhachev, but I will surely look down on it, and Khamzat Chimaev may have a little similarity with Khabib Nurmagomedov's style but there is something still lacking, but I think he could not surely copy that because they are still different in many aspect and ways.
Khamzat Chimaev is a good striker with knockout power as well as a great ground fighter with submission skills and i am expecting him to be the champion in the next two years and the fighting style of Islam Makhachev is similar to Khabib Nurmagomedov because his father was the mentor to Islam as well and he has the potential to become the champion as well.
1110  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | 8 Years of Dicing | 90 Billion Bets | 113 BTC Jackpot! on: June 01, 2021, 07:54:08 PM
It is a proof that Primedice is very serious in their own busines, although the competition among online casinos is getting tougher but Primedice is able to survive till now.
Primedice had a fan following for a long time and they were the leading dice site for a long time and some of the users migrated to their sister site which is a much bigger version with games that are unmatched by other sites including their sports book and they are an established team who will compete with any cryptocurrency based gambling sites.

8 years is not a short period of time for a gambling project, I have seen many sites stopped their business after few years only but 8 years is absolutely awesome.
Yes we have seen multiple gambling sites closing their doors but the once that were established are still there and only recently they started to promote the site outside the cryptocurrency circles as well and we are here to celebrate many anniversaries in the coming years.
1111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on: June 01, 2021, 02:00:11 PM
Jake Paul and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley have agreed to a deal in a boxing match. This is another easy cherry pick fight for Jake Paul in my opinion. Woodley is not a boxer, he's 39 years old and has lost his last 4 MMA fights.
I do accept that Tyron Woodley is in a loosing streak in MMA and his best years are behind but i am not sure it is going to be an easy fight. Yes Jake Paul defeated Ben Askren easily and Tyron Woodely is his team member and he had knockout wins during his MMA career and he was really explosive when he was in prime shape, i am expecting a good bout and let the best man win but i am rooting for Tyron Woodley to win the fight.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Donaire vs Oubaali - May 29 on: May 31, 2021, 11:58:39 PM
it would be nice to see the rematch against Inoue, we've seen great adjustments with the way Donire fought this match,
There were  many changes he made in his approach and Nonito Donaire made history with his win and his counters are just impressive and he is improving as he ages and that is a beauty because attain new skills when you age on how to maintain the flow is crucial when you are fighting late in their career and lets see whether he will get Naoya Inoue for the rematch but Innoue has a fight coming up as well against Michael Dasmarinas.

Double headers are the only logical option in front of them if they do want to finish the tournament with tight deadlines. Sat-Sun should be double header anyway. As far as WC hosting rights are concern ICC must show some backbone. Both BCCI and ICC are speculating that by the time WC kicks on, cases would go down in India.
It is wishful thinking that situation would improve by the end of this year, who knows when India will be struggling with the third and fourth wave as i am certain with the huge population they have there is no way they can vaccinate even half their citizens in the next one year and to expect everything will be fine and smooth takes some nerve especially after flopping big time to conduct the IPL in a secure bubble  Grin.

Honestly this 100k weekly thing is getting out hand, that's like probably the biggest there is. Stake either found some huge investor with hundreds of millions of dollars in their pockets, or this pandemic period really gave you guys a huge boost in profit. To check what they have done in 2021 as far as I know: they partnered with ufc, they got few fighters signed, they gave away a million dollars, they are giving away 100k per week, they agreed on a stream live deal with NBA and NHL and MLB, and these are all I can remember.
The team is one of the biggest in the cryptocurrency market and this is not the first time they are giving away huge amounts for their users and they are continuing this and the amounts of coins they are having is huge considering how big the price of Bitcoin is right now from where they started and hence it is not a big deal for the team and they do not need outside funds to give away these huge rewards.

 
1115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 31, 2021, 07:14:18 PM
In my part, I really am missing Khabib Nurmagomenodov style in the ring I got the itch when I could not see that fighting style of his, when I first saw how he fight I am amazed at its unique way and how he executes I really am amazed at fighters that have a unique style and technique.
I am also disappointing with the retirement of Khabib Nurmagomedov as i thought he would continue for the next couple of years cementing his legacy and thereby giving us a good bet to wage as well and now he is gone and Jon Jones is not fighting and even if he comes he is coming as a Heavyweight which is not going to be easy for him either.

If you are really looking forward to the fighting style of Khabib look after Islam Makhachev he has the same style of Khabib Nurmagomedov and another similar fighter is Khamzat Chimaev.
1116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr on Aug 21 in Vegas on: May 31, 2021, 06:40:42 PM
Well.. it is clear that Manny won't be taking part in any fight during 2022, because he is participating in the presidential election.
What are the chances that we will see Manny Pacquiao as the president, a legendary boxer becoming the leader of any country would be the first time in history and hopefully we will see that happen if this is true.

There is a chance of another fight in 2021, after the one against Spence. But I don't think that it is realistic. If they want another one, then the planning needs to be done now, and Pacquiao's team hasn't shown any interest in it. Also, Manny had earlier stated that he wants his farewell fight in Vegas. So this fight has all the characteristics of a farewell fight.
Lets see how this fight goes as it is not going to be an easy fight and it is best to take things slowly rather than rushing things and if this to become the last fight of his career then it makes sense if he is really running for the presidency. But still i would like to see the rematch against Floyd Mayweather before his  retirement.

Almost every exchange starts caring about source of funds, and more and more of them start behaving the way Bittrex does.
I am yet to experience these issues and so i have to expect these situation, i do hold coins that were mined in the past and do i need to provide all the wallets as source of funds and there are coins that were mixed and held for the long term, so i am sure i might get into issues in the future if i am not able to provide the source of these funds especially the coins that went through mixers, if that is the case it is a bit upsetting and worrying .
1118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: American convenience store chain now accepts btc, etc, litecoin dogecoin payment on: May 31, 2021, 01:55:09 PM
Such positive news will have a positive impact on the entire cryptocurrency market. And accordingly, such news will have a positive impact on dogecoin, which can lead to an increase in the value of the coin even without Elon Musk shill. But all this will only be possible if the market continues its bull run.
Everyone who is expecting a huge market space in Doge should appreciate Elon Musk for shilling the coin to new users and there are many users in the cryptocurrency space and invested just because Elon tweeted about it and that hype and rally is the reason other stores started accepting Doge along with other top cryptocurrencies which is a big deal for the Doge market and i hope the developers will be serious about upgrading everything in time .

When the popularity of cryptocurrency rises naturally the crime rate also increases along with it. You need to be careful which sites you visit when you are storing your coins in a wallet which is always connected to the internet and it is not clear how they fell to the scams. It is either they have invested in scam sites and doubling scams, other than that it is not clear about how $29 millions are lost to criminals.

This happened because some players ignored the safety protocols for various reasons thinking they would be safe with a mask on their face. It's as simple as that.
Not sure whether they ignored the mask, there were talks about some of the players going to hospital for checkup and they will be following the standard procedure of wearing a mask and they did not return to the bubble and was quarantined but instead started mingling with the players inside the bubble and that is how the virus started spreading inside the bubble and those were the talks during that time.

~
They are planning to conduct the remaining portion of the season in the Sep-Oct window though they haven't finalized the dates which will probably be revealed sometime next month.
So we are almost certain that the World Cup will not be conducted this year, not sure what the plans are but the proposed date for the T20 World Cup was October this year and if they continue with the plans then the work schedule will be tough for the players.
