It doesn't matter, the reason why all these stories are making a come.back now is because Bitcoin have better value compared to past years a d some sold for a penny while few held as if they knew that Bitcoin is going to beat gold in terms of value one day, I am happy for them and they leave those who sold too earlier in a pot of regrets, I am glad I am not one of them but it's a good lesson to learn something from.

That's fine.  I think it should be encouraged that regs itt post and share any interesting developments from the UFC.    And while it's def gonna be a decent match up, it's still not Ngannou vs Jones.    That would've been the MMA heavy weight match up for the ages.  If I were in the UFC brass, I'd offer Ngannou a one fight contract that's worth something Ngannou would find hard to refuse.  That fight needs to happen imho...  For the fans.

From my point of view the UFC 290 will be so far the best UFC event of the year, I don't know why but I have a bad feeling about Moreno, I feel like he will lose the belt this weekend, but maybe it's only a random feeling, and for this event I only have one bet, and that's Yair Rodrigez to win, I catch an earlier x4.5 on that fight, so, let's see if "El pantera" do the magic and make us hit the moon this weekend.

I believe the Story of Taihuttu Family is most iconic story for me because this happened when I'm new in the Bitcointalk forum and many believe that time that he is crazy because he sold everything for Bitcoin and let his family live on a very simple environment. Their sacrifice that time is already worth it now since they do that crazy investment gamble when Bitcoin is 900$. I think they are so rich now since they still hold their asset the last time they made interview last 2021.

Why do you think the guy is a looser, who gave Bitcoin a value back in times when it still didn't have some "official" value. AFAIR the guy who offered 10k BTC for two pizzas had a lot more of Bitcoins because IIRC he programmed one of the first GPU miners (not exactly sure about that). For him it was a fair price for what he ordered. He had the balls to give Bitcoin a first value and challenge a trade.

Yes, we tend to look at it from today's perspective with current rates, but this is kind of stupid as it doesn't have anything to do with the reality back then when some bitcoin-rich guy craved for two pizzas. Totally bonkers to calculate how many hundred millions in fiat the price for two pizzas is today that was paid when Bitcoin had not yet a price.

I have the same opinion as you. If we learn about bitcoin but don't have the money to invest, it will cause us to miss a lot of opportunities, as well as we will quickly become bored and not motivated enough to continue. Instead of spending a lot of time learning about bitcoin with no money to invest, I would choose to find work to earn money. In any field, if we can both practice and learn the theory, we will progress very quickly. So when we have money, we have more advantages than just learning cliché theory.

It reminds me something that happened some years ago, with a social media that allowed NSFW videos and pictures. I think it was tumblr or maybe I am wrong. Anyways, if I recall correctly they decided to terminate any content which contained pornography and people started to migrate from there.

In the case of threads, I think it is still too early to say, but considering how some media have been attacking Musk this last year, I would not be surprised if Threads ends up having the backing and advertisement support of many in positions of power, in order to damage Musk's ego and wallet.

Wow, this is not very common to happen, I particularly never experienced this situation.
I was very curious and looked to see if there is something in the rules that details this situation, and I found it, at least on the platform I use:

So, the bets will be voided, but I don't what happens if the users already did a withdraw for example, pretty hard to deal with this situation, since the campanies and the users are not guilty in this case

In a situation when a government asserts total control over the payment systems, P2P may not be a solution. You could still do it, sure, but you could be facing investigation for suspicious activities if you keep sending/receiving money from unaffiliated strangers.
The only true way to prevent censorship of financial transaction is to not get corrupt governments get into power, and create serious political resistance when there are signals of government overreaching their powers.

That's the problem I have with many bitcoiners. They're way too tolerant of any attacks on cash payment, or sometimes even cheering for them hoping that "It's all good because bitcoin will replace cash". That's a silly approach. If the rulers won't tolerate cash because they can't control it, then they will introduce a crackdown on Bitcoin, it's just a matter of time.


It seems inevitable to be honest even just due to impracticality of paper cash and high processing costs. You don't even need CBDC for that, cash use is already on steep decline. Masses will always go with the easiest and most comfortable solutions, and digital payments are far easier than handling cash. At very best we could hope for cash to function as a niche way of payment. There are countries like Slovakia who actually added right to cash payments to their constitution. And to me being able to use it (even if 99% of the population don't) is good enough.

It was the NATO that first used drugs as a weapon to wage proxy war against countries on the opposite side of the spectrum. After they took control of Afghanistan in 2001, NATO soldiers encouraged opium poppy production and even guarded the poppy farms. Heroin produced in Afghanistan was then sent to countries such as Russia and Iran, where millions of young people died as a result of drug overdose. Now China is giving the Americans a taste of their own medicine, by shipping fentanyl to the United States. The death toll is much lower though. As per latest reports, around 100,000 per year.

I don't think so. Making a speculative fight doesn't really make sense to me just because they are planning to launch something as the names like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk surely doesn't need something like this just to become relevant in the public and so that the people will know if they are launching something or not. The question now is why Mark was the one who launched it first when in-fact it was Elon who started this engagement? As I said, doesn't really make sense.

We will always have one or two topics on gambling addiction because gambling and gambling addiction cannot be separated into a forum that discusses gambling addiction, the only thing that we should avoid are topics that keep on repeating and answers that are redundant, we cannot stop people from pouring their emotions here and posting their good and bad experience in this board, because by posting their experience and emotions he can contribute on how players avoid to going addicted to gambling.

Even on other sports which weight division is something that should really be having because its really way too simple on betting up on those sports if ever this category wont really be that applied because the bigger and heavier would really be definitely be able to win but of course we do really have that underdog chances on beating up the favorites but we know that this doesnt happen all the time and something that you cant really
rely on to have this kind of betting behavior.

In the talks about betting on a certain sport on which you are knowledgeable then it is really just that a common approach or must be to be done. Gambling or betting is for fun and betting on the sport on which
you are completely that fully aware or does know its mechanics and does know teams is more entertaining to watch on which every bet you do make would really be having that significant
worth of the money you do spend on that on which you wouldnt really feel out that it would be a waste.

The fact that if luck is having less percentage in helping people to win the game especially in the football sportbetting. People with very good knowledge about it can predict it who gonna win the game easily.
Sometimes luck can also lead you into the lose. It likes when you are putting your bet for the popular team or individual that will face amateur club or individual but luck was helping this amateur club to win the game.
That gives you bad result as you will be losing your bet. Luck can lead us to the win or lose. I do agree not to take it seriously.

I think that Rodriguez gonna be declassed badly this weekend. You are correct when talking about Rodriguez stamina. He is always breathing hard in late rounds. Take his opponents previous fight - after 5 rounds against one top p4p fighters, he was ready to continue. Rodriguez is a master of all kind of kicks. Gimli, even though isnt highest fighter, got nice reach. He can take Yairs leg, take down or counterpunch hard, and Yair has weak boxing skills. Yair already lost to Holloway, and Holloway is like Volkanovski on low settings

Not only the Champions league, predicting any sports isn't easy at all, because even games with low odds can lose, how many times we have seen our parlay lose by 1 match, it's really common.

Personally, I like to bet in UFC because the fights are fast, you don't need to be waiting a long time to see your bet results, and since it's a 1 vs 1 sport is common to win with the underdogs, you only need to see one good punch to turn the odds in your side.

If you've gotten to the point where someone has called you out as being addicted to gambling, then you might want to sit up and listen. It's only something that someone who sees you regularly or who you share a lot of information with that will be likely to identify such a problem. If it's from someone random, maybe they're just projecting or you've not explained your situation adequately enough. However you should always be trying to learn and take assess new knowledge throughout life, sometimes we sleep walk into such a issues. It could be the wake up call that you need or that other people have been too scared or reluctant to highlight to you. Take a step back and think if you do need to change your ways.
