^ He said it a year ago, so obv he got it wrong as it was really just the start of the airdrop meta. But if he had said it today, there's reason to think that he's gonna be right. I mean after Layer Zero, zkSync, Linea and Scroll, what other projects are gonna give good airdrops? There's Monad at the end of the year but most of the projects releasing next all look like they're gonna be handing out dust like the latest wave of airdrops after Wormhole.

Edit: You guys think Kroma Quest Master holders will be eligible for an airdrop even if the holder just bought it off of the market? It's selling at just 71 bucks at Hypermarket rn.
I have some experience about such scenario. I had Mode network early adopter NFT, Mode team announced that holders of this NFT will get extra points, I didn't care for extra points as I didn't expect much from those and wanted to cash out as soon as possible, so I did instant sell on bid price. Funny enough, I got points for holding NFT and since NFT got sold too so those 90 dollars were just extra. Poor luck for buyer. Later in their discord, people were arguing with Mode team that they should have locked selling of NFTs after the announcement, as plenty users bought nfts for extra points but they lost the money and didn't get points either ^ Lol... 'Fairness and justice'?  That's funny. Didn't they farm their own users to the tits then gave them like a hundred bucks worth of tokens? Crypto is hilarious, not sure if I'm ever leaving. Hundred bucks is generous, Polyhedra airdropped like 10 bucks to each user. Crypto is hilarious place indeed, I won't ever be leaving it either. Meh ok. I'll just hold on to my Quest Master NFT and see how much in the airdrop it makes me. Lol. It was like one of the most tiresome I've ever did to get eligibility for an airdrop. I hated myself while I was doing it because I started it late and time was limited. But was able to finish it with a day to spare. As for Polyhedra... Wow. 10 bucks? They deserved to be bullied then. Not that I'm saying we should be expecting more, I mean it's free money. But still disappointing. Glad I faded. |

I've heard a lot of rumors that Jose Mourinho will not go to Saudi Arabia, and I think he won't. I don't think that man needs money anyway.
He goes to a club where he can achieve success and manages that club. Former Fenerbahçe president Aziz Yıldırım said that if he became president again, he would talk to Jose Mourinho and bring him to Fenerbahçe. They even stated that they had a one-on-one conversation. He said that even if he does not become president, he will give half of the transfer fee for Jose Mourinho to Ali Koç. These are developments only on Fenerbahçe's side. I think Jose Mourinho will go to any club in Europe.
Yeah... Mourinho is the kind of guy that won't debase himself by going to a Saudi league. He'll prolly opt to stay in Europe among the top 4 leagues, maybe even Ligue 1? And if not, he'll prolly choose to manage a top club in Portugal. But if both of those isn't an option then he'll prolly retire or take some time off then pounce on the next job that's more to his liking. I think guys here should be looking into where Klopp and Naglesmann are going as their next clubs will have league title and UCL trophy implications. |

Boring but emotional race today.
As said in Monaco you cant pass, it is only about strategy, for example if Charles was driving in 1.25 (and not 1.16) and saving the battery in correct turn he was still able to win.
What a destroyed car Perez got, and the incident was not so at high speed, crazy.
Yeah.. It was so boring and the red flag at the start of the race didn't help. It took some time and by the time it was around the 10th lap or so, I just stopped watching altogether and went on to do something else. The next race is at Canada... :/ Yeah skipping that one. Will start watching the next few races starting at the Spanish GP up to the Singaporean GP. Anyway, here are the results since no one posted them yet. 2024 F1 Monaco GP Race ResultsCharles Leclerc 2:23:15.554 Oscar Piastri +7.152s Carlos Sainz +7.585s Lando Norris +8.650s George Russell +13.309s Max Verstappen +13.853s Lewis Hamilton +14.908s Yuki Tsunoda +1 lap Alexander Albon +1 lap Pierre Gasly +1 lap Fernando Alonso +2 laps Daniel Ricciardo +2 laps Valtteri Bottas +2 laps Lance Stroll +2 laps Logan Sargeant +2 laps Zhou Guanyu +2 laps Esteban Ocon DNF Sergio Perez DNF Nico Hulkenberg DNF Kevin Magnussen DNF |

^ The guy isn't really tested apart from his debut in the UFC. But his last win vs Yusuff was decent since Yusuff is regarded as one of the better prospects. Not sure what happened to him after his injury tho. He's still strong but I think coming back after a one year lay off vs Barboza for a 5 rounder is bad match making. The UFC should've give him an opponent lower in the pecking order to get him acclimated in the cage. And giving him Lopes after a tough loss Barboza is just dumb imho. ^ Yeah cos most of them like fighting cans instead of the best guys. In the UFC, Bellator, PFL, ONE, etc, etc that can't happen as they have the match makers doing it for them. Not really sure how the match making works in boxing tho. But when I used to watch it, all I watch is the main event as most of the under cards suck. And what I don't like about boxing is they put too much of a premium in unblemished records. I mean who cares if the fighter is undefeated... In MMA, that only means that the fighter hasn't really been tested yet.
Floyd cares so much about undefeated. Same with Jones. Legacy I suppose and when a fighter retires undefeated, they have the opportunity to promote products while they can brag about the undefeated record. Tyson Fury used to brag about it. Being undefeated means marketable. MMA is very different though. You can only be the best when you have all the skills from boxing, jujitsu, wrestling, and all sorts which is why if the match team is going to test a striker against someone who has wrestling skills chances are that the striker will be at the disadvantage unless he learns fast with his team. boxing is just boxing. but some of them are just decorating themselves with KOs even the fights in their amateur days like 8 rounder fights. Maybe but I could say that staying undefeated in the UFC is waaay harder than staying undefeated in boxing. There's just a lot more going on in MMA as fighters have to study and practice multiple disciplines. Boxing on the other handis just boxing. Lol. And I know the next question would be then why do MMA fighters lose when they fight boxers in boxing? Ok if they're so good at fighting then why don't the top boxers fight in MMA? A top 15 UFC fighter would win vs a top boxer 7 times out of 10 in MMA imho. And that's being generous. Name a great boxer right now and I'll name an MMA fighter outside the top 5 who I think could win. In the UFC, when you generate a lot of clicks and views, you end up having a moral compass with the boss and being able to choose fights. I don't know how it works in boxing, but in the UFC they seem to choose which fights they want to fight and that creates, for me, cartels that aren't reality. Let's say that 20% of all the undefeated cartels are false. So you saying that the UFC isn't making good fights and that something should change? ^ Let's say Inoue fights anyone on the list using the UFC gloves, those guys will stumble to stand up with just a jab from Inoue. As long as he can defend himself from a takedown, it will be hellish for these guys. They could potentially win by submission but not if they stand head-to-head. To believe themselves to win in standing, they have the slightest chance. Its like Kamaru Usman picking Jan Blachowicz https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1793649032595706220 And then Jan replied to him If you still feel the same about it @USMAN84kg, lets go. I will be ready. I think Kamaru is really up to it since he seems to have no fight at all, he is going LHW. But he has the slight chance too. Uh lol... I'm pretty sure this Inoue guy will make the MMA guys who has almost no wrestling in their game look like Daniel Cormier. |

^ Lol... 'Fairness and justice'? That's funny. Didn't they farm their own users to the tits then gave them like a hundred bucks worth of tokens? Crypto is hilarious, not sure if I'm ever leaving. And why did they use 'ZK'? It's already pretty obvious that zkSync would be using it. They should've used POLY or PLH or something. Edit: You guys think Kroma Quest Master holders will be eligible for an airdrop even if the holder just bought it off of the market? It's selling at just 71 bucks at Hypermarket rn. |

Some line movement in qualifying. Looks like the books have priced in Leclerc's performance in FP2 and FP3. He's line is at 1.57 rn with Verstappen behind him at 3.00. I think there could be value with Verstappen at the current line. The guy just finds a way to get ahead and be on top above everybody else. It will be sooo hilarious if he does it.
Anyway yeah... Just a quarter of an hour to go guys. Feeling really excited with this one as the crazy Dutchman is the underdog again.

^ So I looked him up and he fights at boxing's 122 lbs weight class. That's flyweight in the UFC which is up to 125 lbs.. And since we're just trying to make a point that the top fighters in boxing would have a hard time winning vs some if the top guys in the UFC within the same weigh class, then let's list the guys from the top 6 to 15 in UFC's flyweight...
Muhammad Mokaev
Manel Kape
Matheus Nicolau
Steve Erceg
Tim Elliott
Matt Schnell
Tagir Ulanbekov
Tatsuro Taira
Sumudaerji
David Dvorak
Out the guys in the list, I think Inoue could prolly win vs three of them... Matt Schnell, Sumudaerji and Dvorack. But then again with the wrestling, the hard leg kicks and the BJJ... Dunno. It's prolly zero.

New rumors today about Sainz.
He is rumored to have be in contact with 2 teams lately: Williams and Mecedes.
Following the rumors that links him to Mercedes, the voice has been turned off so it seems to Mercedes for him.
Redbull offered 1 year extention to Perez, he asked for 2. So at the moment Redbull has no second driver for the next year.
Williams looks like they're trying to be a great team again. There are words swirling around that they're determined to get Adrian Newey to join them. Dunno tho... It feels like Newey will take at least a year off from F1. He's been meaning to do it from what I've seen. As for Red Bull... Lol. That means they've given up on Ricciardo. Looks like the guy is washed. Here's FP1. Interesting result even tho we know most of them are in sand bagging mode. 2024 F1 Monaco GP FP1 Results1 Lewis Hamilton GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team 1m12.169s 2 Oscar Piastri AUS McLaren F1 Team 1m12.198s 3 George Russell GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team 1m12.295s 4 Lando Norris GBR McLaren F1 Team 1m12.396s 5 Charles Leclerc MON Scuderia Ferrari 1m12.397s 6 Fernando Alonso ESP Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team 1m12.775s 7 Lance Stroll CAN Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team 1m12.789s 8 Yuki Tsunoda JPN Visa Cash App RB F1 Team 1m12.875s 9 Daniel Ricciardo AUS Visa Cash App RB F1 Team 1m12.901s 10 Carlos Sainz ESP Scuderia Ferrari 1m12.954s 11 Max Verstappen NED Oracle Red Bull Racing 1m12.984s 12 Sergio Perez MEX Oracle Red Bull Racing 1m13.229s 13 Valtteri Bottas FIN Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber 1m13.248s 14 Kevin Magnussen DEN MoneyGram Haas F1 Team 1m13.390s 15 Alex Albon THA Williams Racing 1m13.425s 16 Nico Hulkenberg GER MoneyGram Haas F1 Team 1m13.576s 17 Logan Sargeant USA Williams Racing 1m14.150s 18 Esteban Ocon FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m14.159s 19 Zhou Guanyu CHN Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber 1m14.570s 20 Pierre Gasly FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m15.574s |

^ Taiko... I did like a lot, I'd say almost all of their Galxe stuff, their testnet and even KYC'd in Galxe to get the 2500 points. But still got nil from their airdrop. Maybe I should've run a node. I saw a couple of guys got around 1000 TKO tokens for setting them up via cheap VPS. The monthly was prolly around 20 bucks a month or something. Not bad. Anybody here have experience in running a node? Give me some suggestions on which VPS services to use please. Thanks. |

Let's say that the future promises well with a challenge between Max Norris and Leclerc.
However, a lot will depend on the car available.
Redbull is still the main force (with Max) but it is no longer dominant like in previous years and now they have also lost the Messi of the engineers.
You saying we'll see the tide turn this season with the McLarens and the Ferraris catching up in car development in the next few races? :/ If so, yes please... I for one would love to see a more competitive season among the guys at the top. Throw in Mercedes in there too. They have been lagging the last couple of seasons. Anyway Joylon Palmer has something to say about McLaren and closing the gap vs Red Bull. Enjoy... Are McLaren Closing The Gap On Red Bull? | Jolyon Palmers F1 TV Analysishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSk_6wCxNg0I think McLaren surely is and the problem is this exact next track during this weekend which we will be in Monaco.This can be a double edged sword as it can prove very much beneficial to McLaren which can win the race if they get the pole position as we know how difficult if not impossible is to overtake in this track.If they have problems though and they start from the 2nd row of the grid or even lower it can impact their race for the worse.Whichever the case one sure thing in Monaco is that will be a boring race as the pole sitter if he gets out first from the first corner most likely will win the race. That's why McLaren and Ferrari need to get their sht together during qualifying... If they get pole then more likely than not, they win the race. Verstappen is at 2.40 to get pole. This could be another spot the books are giving us some decent value 'preflop'. :/ Another race week has arrived already!  It is Monaco Grand Prix maybe but it is still nice to be able to watch F1 quite often. This track is all about qualifying effort considering how narrow the track is. When it comes to the weather...  Source: Formula 1 official websiteThere is some rain probability during qualifying. If it happens the session can get more exciting. It is already a quite challenging track which needs full concentration every second. On a slippy Monaco track that concentration level must be as high as possible. Otherwise the barriers are really unforgiving.  I might bet on Norris or Leclerc to get the pole position to add some extra fun into it. There's prolly gonna be some drizzle but no hard rain like those ones we've seen happen in Spa and Suzuka for like more than a couple if times. |

What spam attack were you talking about?
|
|
|
|
^ Wdym spam attack? Against XMR? I'm sorry but I haven't really been up to date on stuff about Monero for the last couple of years.  But here's the thing tho. With all the recent delistings it has suffered because some exchanges are getting spooked... I think the thing to get around this is Fluffy's project called Tari which afaik is still being built on top of XMR. There has to be some kind of thing onchain that could convert Tari to XMR and vice versa. If so and if Tari gets listed in exchanges like Binance then all we do is covert XMR to Tari then use that. Dunno tho, but hopefully. |

José Mourinho, after separating ways with AS Roma, currently without a club. Throughout his outstanding career, he has achieved remarkable success, but recent years have struggled challenges. Some football commentators contend that his tactical approach is outdated. Currently, he has several options on the table, including Turkish clubs like Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş, as well as potential opportunities in the Saudi Arabian league. While the financial offering from Saudi clubs are enticing, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş may offer him a chance to prove himself in European football once again.
If anything, a washed up, once great football manager like him should prolly retire from club football and start managing a national squad. Who knows... With his pragmatic style he could win the Euros and prolly even the World Cup. It's what brought him two UCL titles. That still should mean something. Would love to see him manage the Portuguese national squad or some South American squad. |

^ It's not just you. And I think Poirier is prolly retiring after Makhachev. But if by some miracle he wins, he'll prolly fight one more time to defend the belt the retire even if he wins. Finally some interesting fight card coming in UFC, Islam Makhachev vs Dustin Poirier sounds interesting on paper, but I have no doubt Makhachev will win this fight in Khabib style. I always enjoy watching good heavyweight fight and now we are going to have King Kong Romanov vs Almeida, this could be another big KO win As I think Almeida is gonna win the match, I think it's gonna end via sub like most of his wins. But we'll see... Romanov could put anybody's lights out too. Lol. But yeah, my money is gonna be on Almeida. Here's a vid about Makhachev's rise in the UFC.
