1241  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ferrari introduced BTC payment option for their cars on: October 15, 2023, 02:08:42 AM
I seriously doubt that there is a high interest among those who own bitcoin to use it to purchase an expensive car like a Ferrari.
Well, not many people buy Ferrari in general (they sell 10-15k cars per year which is nothing compared to let's say Toyota who sells 10 million) but there's still decent amount of nouveau riche crypto millionaires who like to flex with expensive cars so there will be some interest.
This is a great move buy Ferrari. It shows that they are a forward-thinking and progressive organisation. The super rich clients may not have any concern about this but trust me they are going to have new clientele base from crypto millionaires all over the world. I look forward to a day when fashion brands like Zara, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and other big fashion brands would make this type of company wide announcement.

I very much agree. This is also free advertising for bitcoin very much similar to the campaign of Robert Kennedy Jr who will be running as president of America on November 24. Also, this is not only good for bitcoin, this is also good for the whole of the cryptospace because Ferrari will also be accepting ETH, XRP, stablecoins, APE, the memecoins dogecoin, shiba inu and other cryptocoins through the use of Bitpay.

I very much agree with @stompix and @Rikafip who has noticed why some people are not cheering on this news update. This might be the effect of the bear market, I reckon.

Football is great and all, but why can we only bet on the game when it’s clear that all people really care about is how many time the camera is going to show Taylor Swift, how many times the commentators are going to mention Taylor Swift, and when Taylor Swift will be leaving the game? I mean, Taylor Swift…

I was watching the Chiefs vs. the Broncos and on halftime one of the cameras was filming a bookshop which might have been near the stadium. On the the stand near the cashier were books about the NFL and beside these books were the books written by Taylor Swift hehehe.

In any case, are the Chiefs revenues and profits going down? Would it be shocking if this relationship between Kelce and Taylor Swift is fake and this was only another marketing tactic? It might also be working, I reckon.

Neither the NFL, the cheifs, nor Taylor Swift are losing money right now it's quite the opposite.  The NFL is better than it ever has been.  They are using this to onboard new fans (Taylor's fanbase) but it's not because they are hurting.  Just with any business you cash in on these opportunities.  Just sucks everytime you watch the cheifs you have to deal with it.  In the end people are going to get more annoyed and stop watching if anything.

If people get more annoyed, they start pointing the camera on a different celebrity who is a girlfriend of a different player and start a NFL players get celebrity girlfriends storyline in mainstream media hehehee.

On my team, it appears Deshaun Watson will be out for another week vs. San Francisco 49ers. It is also being mentioned that he will be out for more weeks after this. He also has not been giving me the expected points. Should I drop him?
1243  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: October 14, 2023, 03:49:26 AM
Its said that Usman who will fight against Chimaev. And whoever wins will hve a title shot against Leon.

Leon is fighting Colby next and I don't think he'll keep that belt. So we're very likely to see Colby Vs. Chimaev for the next title bout, which would be perfect if you ask me.

This is a head shaking decision from uncle Dana after he promised that the winner of Belal vs. Burns would challenge Leon Edward. However, I speculate that American politics might have influenced this decision. Uncle Dana is an outspoken Trump supporter and Colby also is another ourspoken Trump supporter. The presidential election will be on November heheehe. Perfect for the UFC's campaign for Trump if Colby is the welterweight champion hehehehe.
1244  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Robert Kennedy Jr. Promises to End White House War on Bitcoin on: October 14, 2023, 03:20:09 AM
Will Robert F. Kennedy Jr get much voters from the bitcoin community? Are there enough voters from the bitcoin community that would make a difference and help him win? The cryptospace is only a small community. The skeptical me thinks that his support for bitcoin might be real and sincere because he cannot gain anything from being very outspoken in his support.

Also, he has been telling everyone that he wants the issuance of treasury bills to be backed by gold, bitcoin and other assets. This would certainly make the dollar backed by bitcoin and the other assets indirectly.

I reckon if he delivers his promises, this might be good for bitcoin and the whole cryptospace because the regulators under his administration might not act similar to uncle Gary.



U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) discussed a variety of topics, including bitcoin, in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine, published Wednesday. RFK Jr. is a son of former U.S. Attorney General and Senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

The presidential candidate pledged that if elected as the President of the United States:

I’m going to make sure that bitcoin is protected, that people can keep their own wallets, that the current White House war on bitcoin will be over, that transactions will be protected and encouraged.

What I would like to do is to provide at least some issuance of Treasury bills that are backed by hard currency, and that could be a bucket that includes bitcoin, that includes platinum, gold, silver, and other hard assets.

@BABY SHOES. I reckon having the type of illusion Sam was having for himself might be caused by taking too much Adderall. This is a drug that will make the user feel good but also might make the user think he can achieve bigger goals than what is within his reality.



Drugs like Adderall may help you feel more alert, awake, and focused. It has a stimulating effect that releases dopamine to the brain, giving you a sense of euphoria and well-being.

On Sam Tabasco, it has been speculated that he is an informant.

Also, I have not read all of the statements made by the Chinese quant and sweet Caroline, however, it is being mentioned in social media that Caroline got a loan for a gambling company. What is this gambling company? It was never mentioned.
1246  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Stand with crypto. Bitcoin is not a security on: October 14, 2023, 12:43:34 AM
@zasad@. I reckon if projects want to receive funding from venture capitalists, the development teams will need to form a company and accept funding in exchange for shares in the company. The tokens will have to be bought from the market if they want the project's tokens.

What I am not quite certain if is if the tokens held by the projects in their treasury will be securities if they sell them direct to the public market. If not then venture capitalists can let the projects' teams to hold the tokens for them before unlock.

In any case, I predict the ruling will discourage venture capitalists from entering the cryptospace and we will witness these small projects that have smart and hardworking development teams become successful. Do you know the project Unibot?

Friends, sorry I come with bad news. The campaign fund has not yet been replenished, so I am currently suspending the campaign. If there is no news by Sunday, I will make sure that from Monday some of you will continue to work with me in other campaigns that I manage.

I am quite certain I would not only be speaking for myself if I say I am sorry to hear the bad news also. But it is okay, it is not a big problem.

Thank you for the update.

Wrong on what? I am talking about asking the people around you in real life who are not bitcoiners when you walk on the street or go to work.

In any case, you know it gained very high value? This is caused by bitcoin's monetary policy which can also be argued that it is the cause of price volatility.

I am not quite certain why some people in the community think bitcoin's success as a world reserve currency that would overthrow all fiat currencies is a certainty. This is very head shaking and not living in reality. The reality is it cannot scale, it is volatile and it needs government issued fiat to determine the price.

You tell me I am part of the forum for a long time and I share the opinion of uneducated people? To this I reply, what I have learned is to stop listening to the larpers of the community who base their utopian predictions on belief and faith. It is very much similar behavior to these gold holders who have been waiting for many years for the gold standard to be adopted again hehehehe. This is what I have learned.

I only want to tell these larpers to be humble and not to act that they are better than everyone or act like bitcoin will solve all the problems about money. Bitcoin is not perfect.

Also, this is how unreasonable and funny larpers sound like. Watch video hehe.

My team is ready vs. Hueristic's Barbarians! I predict this to be an upset because the Patiots defense will for certain stop Josh Jacob. The defensive team has kneeled in front of Bill Belichick and promised never to repeat their very embarassing performance against the Saints, according to sauces.

I predict Thielan will have a career day and crush me for being impatient and cutting him too soon. Cheesy
*If I had kept him and played him last week I would have won lol
GL

Good luck to you also, you will need it hehehe.

Lol..I just took a look at your matchup versus Hueristic's team, and you've certainly got your work cut out for you, but it's not like you don't have a chance.  I'm not real sure why you have Derrick Henry out of the starting lineup and have Cook in over him..but..you've still got a solid chance.

I'm not sure Bill Belichick is done having awful games.  That team is god awful, and I just don't think he's the coach/GM he use to be.  To me he's lost a few steps and this could be his last year with the Patriots.

I am only speculating that James Cook will play much more better like a demon after their loss vs. the Jaguars. Also, the Giants' defense against rushes is not very good compared to the Ravens defense which Derrick Henry will be playing against.

On the Patriots, similar argument. Their defense will play like demons after witnessing an embarrassing loss against the Saints. They might also win the game.

@zasad@. Agreed that it is arguable but only on how the sales of those tokens transpired. But the most important part of the ruling is the tokens by themselves are not illegal securities. If the next projects to be created take the judge's ruling as a predecent, they should avoid token sales as shares directly to investors and make direct to public market sales with them. This will need some creativity, however, it is not impossible similar to how we are witnessing airdrops and memecoins start their markets.

@BenCodie. I might be stuck in the past. However, this is the reality that we witness and if you ask the people who are around you in your real life and talk about bitcoin very much similar on how you talk about it in this thread, I am quite certain many of them will have a similar reaction.
1255  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [Updated] FTX on: October 12, 2023, 01:42:12 AM
@BABY SHOES. On Sam's political ambitions, he never had a chance and if FTX was not a scam but a successful exchange, I reckon the chance will never be there for him.

In any case, the Chinese government having frozen $1 billion and bribing Chinese government officials was a shock for me. The other statements from Caroline similar to planning on scamming Saudi investors and convincing the regulators to crackdown on the competition is expected.

@cryptomaniac_xxx. I reckon if Casimero is lucky to have this fight against Nery, gets a knockout or makes a very impressive performance, I reckon team Inoue might be persuaded to Casimero if there is a possbility that it can be a fight for big money.

However, Casimero is facing a Japanese fighter on October 12, is he not? This might also have team Inoue watching because the fight will be in Japan. Casimero might give another trashtalk heheheh.

Hahaha I don't know what exactly Gary Gensler wants, he probably want to buy Bitcoin at lowest as possible and then he make good news like approval of Bitcoin etf.

In my country bitcoin is considered as an asset or commodity and it is legal to trade here even government gets a slice of the trade fee. This is best meme for Mr gary right now


Similar to what everyone who is following the news on uncle Gary has said, it took a judge to do the SEC's job for them and ruled the XRP token by itself as not a security. This has created a legal precedent that many of the tokens by themselves in the cryptospace are not securities.

Uncle Gary is the security hehehehehe.

1259  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [Updated] FTX on: October 11, 2023, 01:01:31 AM
@Rikafip. I am very skeptical that sweet Caroline has stopped supporting Sam. I reckon from that testimony it appears that Caroline is being told or already has a plan to make Sam appear insane so Sam can plead insanity or temporary insanity caused by Adderall and avoid time in prison if he is charged guilty.

Sam and Caroline were lovers and on a psychological level, sweet Caroline is not very beautiful and the attention from a man she might have only felt from Sam. Her loyalty to him might be very deep hehehehee.

@BenCodie. I am sorry, however, this image you shared is only something similar to a meme. Itmis difficult for bitcoin to be the dominant reserve currency because there will not be a dominant military to back and support it. There is a higher chance that bitcoin will be very much similar to gold, being used as a speculative investment and as a store of value.

In any case, what the next dominant reserve currency might be is the country's currency with a dominant military and a dominant economy. It might be China, also do not underestimate the rise of India. India's economic and military growth will shock everyone.
