Yeah, maybe just a matter of time before someone became a traitor and got that huge bounty in his head. And throughout history we have seen it already so he needs to be careful now or maybe he is hiding in Russia for obvious reasons that US can't reach him.
So good job by the combined forces, but job not done unless they got their target alive and sent to jail for good.

What do you think the overall situation could be if more countries recognize Bitcoin?
Isn't it obvious that the effect is that we might see adoption of Bitcoin increasing if a country will recognized it just like what El Salvador has done. Although there are a lot of Bitcoin friendly countries already or at least in the grey area wherein it is not illegally to have Bitcoin and there are no taxes yet. But in any case though, Bitcoin will continue to thrive, regardless if there are big countries that are going to support it and make it legal. We have survived the last 10 years, and so it will go and sustained it run in the next 10 years with our without countries recognizing it. |

I voted no as well as I don't really see Bitcoin price reaching even $70k, much less $75k being that it's price is stuck at a particular range, trading at around $62-63k. If anything we'd experience a range of $65-66k before the end of this month but hoping to see it get close to the ATH threshold will be too much of an expectation.
Yes, it seems that we are in the sideway pattern again, but it we base on the last bull run cycle after the halving, almost the same movement so no worries. There is a jump to $64k if I'm not mistaken, but it wasn't a sustainable run as it seems to be a fake break out obviously. But don't be negative if we have a sideway pattern, at least everything is even out as far as buying/selling goes and then the volume. On the other hand, another golden opportunity to continue with our DCA at least for this month. |

Been gambling for 3 straight days, online and offline, and it doesn't feel good at all because of the losing streak so most likely I will stop day 4. And although I can afford that money to lose in gambling, but sometimes you have to think that if you didn't gamble, you might have that money still in your pocket, so that could be part of the mental effect on gambling to me and for others too.
Nevertheless, I'm fine, don't you worry and as I have said, there is no day 4 losing. I will not chase anything and will go back once I feel like to and not forcing myself to gambling just for the sake of recouping what I have lost in the last 3 days. It's not that big amount though.

However, it appears his next opponent is not very good and we can be quite certain that this will be in Japan again. Inoue might not become something similar to Pacman in fame after he retires.
Who will be his next opponent? was it already announce? I hope it will be Casimero as I've been waiting for a long time to see these two make a conclusion about who is the better between them. Casimero making joke on Inoue again, he said if it was him who hit Inoue, Inoue might not be able to continue, well, it's true that Casimero has the power that's probably the reason why Inoue does not accept his challenge. There's a rumor that Sam Goodman will be his next target that man is if I'm not wrong the number one contender on IBF also on WBF titles. I try to research about the record of this guy and we can see that he's really a big thing also have good chances to fight Inoue https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/832952But we don't know yet if they really aim to fight Goodman so lets wait for their official announcement since for sure they provably release the names of their next possible opponent. Also for sure Inoue's camp will not chase for any possible match up against Casimero since they don't have anything to take from him that's why Casimero will be less on their priorities. But who knows right? If Casimero will be the mandatory challenger maybe we can see this fight to happen. Did you see the interview after the fight? Bob Arum brought Sam Goodman in the ring to stand beside Naoya Inoue already heheheh. This man Bob only wants another hyped scam that does not give fans a thrilling experience. These promoters should learn from Eddie Hearn and Mr. Net Stockings Oscar dela Hoya. They are the promoters of King Ry and Devin Haney. I reckon Casimero should fight someone in the rankings immediately and create an argument that he should be the next challenger for Inoue. So it will be an Aussie who will have another crack at Inoue. I think being mandatory, and I don't think this is so called scam fight as obviously mandatory fighter should be next in line to fight for the belt and so be it. Nah, Casimero is aging, doesn't impressed at 122 lbs and I think he is already way passed him prime already. He is under a Japanese promoter though, so they should give him a good test time and win astoundingly to catch Inoue's attention. |

Jamal Murray not facing suspension, but NBA hands Nuggets star massive fine after throwing heat pack on court. The NBA will not suspend Jamal Murray for throwing a heat pack onto the floor in Monday's Game 2 loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he has drawn a $100,000 fine, the league announced Tuesday. Amid an awful start, Murray couldn't contain his frustration, and late in the first half, with the Timberwolves already leading by 17 points and Murray on the bench, the Nuggets star threw a heat pack onto the court mid-play. And it's obvious that this is a sign of frustrations from Jamal Murray as he was lock-out by the Wolves and he can't get anything going on game 2 at their homecourt. He is lucky that he didn't get any T right on that game and not suspended as the NBA knows that he is one of the stars of the Nuggets and so he needs to play game 3. And with that, Murray realizes that they are not facing the LA Lakers anymore  .

I was browsing the old web about bitcoin because reading old forums on bitcoin is so fascinating to me. Thats how i just found this platform. I was reading through conversation from 2011 and seeing people just throw around bitcoin not knowing its future value just blows my mind. I wonder where these people are today. I was searching up some of the wallets and it seems like most of the people emptied there wallets by 2012 probably during some of the first pumps. I also came across many old users that still have around like $50,000,000 in their wallets still but havent been active for years. I wonder if these wallets are abandoned. Man this blows my mind its like being in a time machine.
Of course, it's nostalgic to read those early forum post here, some of them might have even interact with Satoshi himself. Maybe some of them are self made billionaires and still active in this community, or at you have describe, could have lost their bitcoin forever. And you can't blame some of them who might forget their bitcoin and their private keys and mnemonic phrases. Because in the beginning, no one would have thought that the price is going to be big in the future. |

Yes, you read right as the topic stated. Also, which gender do you think can easily give up on gambling?
Which gender will get worse when they are addicted to gambling?
Or do you think it's the same thing for every gender that is into gambling?
I was just having a little chat on the other thread when I read a member's comment who says that women are better gamblers, which I really disagree with. I believe that men are the better gamblers here. With all my thoughts running through my mind, I just decided to create this topic to get your view on it.
Although some woman are strong but majority of the woman population have weak emotions and that is why I feel they will easily give up on gambling because they hate to continually loss and the second point is that since women have weak emotions, they can easily get addicted to gambling and can often practice revengeful gambling.
What is your view?
There are studies that support that women are risk averse, meaning that they are not risk taker like men. And with that I think women are more resistant to gambling. And if you go to land base casinos, you can see that there are women sitting on slots machines or card game table, but it it still men who dominated gambling in my opinion. Even if high ranking positions in government of corporations, it's more of men dominated. However, if we talk about gambling addiction and not just regular gambling wherein women just want to have some fun and entertained, it could be tricky as both sexes can fall on the addiction. |

Given the prevalence of online gambling and crypto casinos I think this might be a realistic development that could be coming. It makes me wonder what the future of gambling online with crypto will be then. Will casinos be forced to create their own slot and live games? And perhaps even bring workers abroad to run them without legal consequence? What do you think?
Nah, I don't think that casinos will be forced to create their own slot and live games. They're still going to ride on casino operations, used their license slot and live gates and I don't think that regulators will completely stop online gambling per se. And for me, for a country to stop online gambling, it's either 100% stop or no continue with it, no middle ground whatsoever. Or there could be local gaming providers to comply with local rules. |

^^ Yeah, Canelo by decision will be a good bet for us and the odds are very attractive.
Of course a per round by Canelo to win by knockout is also a good option, but the risk are very high and you need to also have some luck on your end. Munguia though is very young and we will give credit to him for fighting Canelo. This kid has cojones and for sure, we wouldn't be surprised that he will go mano-a-mano and try to outbox Canelo. And yes youth is on his side and let's see how he will take advantage young age or the fresher of the two.

Yes, I also would like to think the Inoue can at least go as close to Manny when going up in weight. But it seems their strategy is very different. Inoue want's to unify belts and then defend it. But in Manny's case, as far as I know, he will go up in weight class immediately except maybe in the 135 lbs and fight the next easiest or weakest champion that they can find. A very intelligent and careful match making by Bob Arum. And maybe another comparison is that both are under Uncle Bob and so he knows and have the blue print already. But Inoue chooses not to do that at this point and may want to stay at 122 lbs for the time being and clean up the division.
Manny always aim in going up, he could be more than 8th division champion if he didn't skip a division. We can compare him to Manny and that could inspire him but we should not expect too much from Inoue as he seemed to be taking it slowly and doesn't want take an aggressive action about moving up in weight class. That time will definitely come, so let's just be patient and let's focus more on Inoue's upcoming fight and we can again discuss after the game is over. And perhaps he is not moving up as quick is that maybe he knows his limitations. Can we imagine him fighting at 147 lbs? Manny's settled as this weight class and beating a lot of great boxers. So maybe Inoue might not see himself in the future banging with top prospects at 147 lbs and so he chooses to stay at 122 lbs and test all the mettle of the fighters here before moving up to 126 lbs. And I think he already had history and cemented his legacy this early and so they want to play safe first option. And base on the odds, he is a huge favorite against Nery and so it's hard how Inoue is going to lose in this fight. He is surely the huge favourite on this upcoming fight. In terms of going up in the weight division, I believe, Inoue's camp is also careful in increasing his weight. It is understandable to have that kind of strategy as he has reputation to keep. Yes, it's understandable that they will be careful on his body, although he is not that young anymore and I think his body has matured and he could go only at the featherweight to Jr Lightweight and that's it for him, no more 130 lbs as he might bulk and it could affect his speed. So let's see his body of work against Nery, although Puma is very confident in this interviews that he will beat Inoue, but let's see. I'm not saying 100% that Inoue will win and there's no chance for Nery to win. But look at how Inoue's version in the last couple of fights, hard to see how Nery can overcome Inoue. |

The Lakers have fired Darvin Ham. Jokic has fired one more person. Now the Lakers need to rebuild. And it looks like LeBron is leaving the team. They might not make the playoffs for many years.
Tonight the Cavs and Mavs will play to end the series. I'm not sure if it will go to Game 7 or if the series will end today. Maybe the Magic can hold on to the series at home, but if the Mavs don't win today, Game 7 will be very difficult for them.
Yeah lebrons only move is to go to a top contender. What's the point now to start on a rebuild team. If I had a spot for a good landing it would be the Pelicans. They are one or 2 pieces away from being a title contender if you ask me. That and a healthy zion. Or I can see him coming back to the east and finish with the cavs and maybe go for one more shot with them with his hometown team. A little crazy that they seemingly blamed Darvin Ham for the Lakers issues. I think Rob Pelinka deserves most of the blame. I’m hearing lots of talk in Phoenix about the Suns trading Booker and picking up LeBron to pair with KD, or KD going to the Lakers to pair with LeBron. Probably just nonsense talk, but I’d love to see those 2 link up. Yeah, I think Rob should also be fired as well. But we all know that the first head to roll if something bad happens to a team is their coach, so I guess this is forthcoming, just like what happen to Vogel prior, he bring championship to the Lakers but the next season after, it was a disaster. And so the job tenure of a coach in NBA is short, even if you have successes, you are going to be fired like what happen to Griffin from the Bucks. And then good riddance to them, they've been eliminated by the Pacers and probably some fans could blame Doc Rivers for their woes. |

Looking at the results of the poll, the majority thinks Beterbiev will continue his undefeated, 100% KO streak, but my money would be on Bivol, likely winning by decision. He's simply a better rounded fighter with very high tactical discipline and high "fighting IQ". It's good to have this fight finally happen, especially when both are still in their prime. Say what you want about the Saudis, but I'm glad they started to make great fights happen. Here's a link to the press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzgQcJIAzlIand 6 mins highlights of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8INpr4YlC8I can't understand why they wouldn't just let them speak in their own native language and just get an interpreter, the results would be much better imo. And if I'm not mistaken, Bivol is the slight favorite, so I would also think that the oddmakers might be right again. I wouldn't say that Beterbiev is still in his prime, although undefeated, he is already 39 years old. Bivol for me is in his prime at 33 years old and not much of a wear and tear in his boxing career. Also there is news that the winner might face Benavidez next. |

There's a little over two weeks for the fight now as the promo hasn't even started yet nor have either parties been posting about it on socials.
This has dragged on for so long that it has killed most of the hype. We originally thought they were going to fight in 2022, only for them to go in separate directions over disagreements about how much money they each thought they deserved. The Saudis then came in and were able to meet their financial demands but a poor performance against Ngannou and a sparring injury delayed it further. Usyk also didn’t leave the best impression in his previous fight, where he managed to survive due to some dubious refereeing. Yes, they didn't capitalized on the hype, just like when there was also talks of AJ vs Wilder 2018 era if I'm not mistaken when both are still undefeated. They could have earn huge amount but they waited and waited to build that hype until AJ was upset by Ruiz. And we are probably in the Ryan Garcia hype still as we are talking about a supposedly failed drug test by Ryan. So boxing fans around the world might have forgotten about this fight and it might only gain traction in the last week of the fight itself. |

With the information I gathered about cryptocurrency, I had interest and decided to buy some coins.
Being fully aware of the volatility of these coins, I was patient and did not panic as their were various degrees of ups and down and was told that this year is the best time to invest in crytocurrency due to the bitcoin halving which has taken place. I have been watching my coins dropping everyday in value thereby inducing fear in me as the value of what I invested has been on the continuous decline.
I do not know how soon they will begin to rise again.
That why it always advisable to always make critical research about anything you are getting your money into. It’s just too bad to see someone still asking questions like this, you don’t sound like someone who made enquiry before even investing. To make it clear to you no one actually knows when a coin will dump or pump, but we can make assumptions based on past details or facts. And based on past facts using the bitcoin Halving to predict the recent halving there will be a pump in the coming months but nobody can say for for sure when it going to happen. It if is Bitcoin that he invested, then perhaps we all need to wait, currently it seems that this month is not a good month for all of us. And if it's in altcoin, we all know that it's based everything on the movement of Bitcoin so it will be just the same bearish sentiments. And if we have to look and study, Bitcoin is and will be the prime mover in this market. With that I would suggest to the OP to invest on Bitcoin and at least majority of his portfolio and then just wait and HODL for the right time to sell. The effects of the halving is not that immediate though, at least wait at the end of the year and see how it grows. |

The cryptocurrency market is going viral every day by day across the globe in which Bitcoin ETF approved attract new investors towards the industrial. Hence Bitcoin halving always occur every four years that makes all time high (ATH). Therefore Bitcoin new investors keep increasing as long the cryptocurrency market keep existing the more community keep expanding.
For the record though, approval of Bitcoin spot ETF might be attracted to whales only. For us retail investors, we should know how to take care of our precious Bitcoin, save it in a wallet that we have total control of. And again, everything cyclical here, like the bull and bear cycle. So if there is a new investor being born every minute, then there could be investors who learn the tricks and become experience or there could be really quitting. |

With all these happening, I suggest we should be reminded as bitcoiners on what we are made for and should not loose focus on how we can achieve our target with the use of bitcoin for our financial economy in all modules of it's applications Privacy should be our heritage with bitcoin, using centralized exchanges is the weakest means to have it, because the governments will be after you when you're under a centralized exchange, they have all your details with them.
Every bitcoiners should understand why they need to have in custody their own digital financial asset and not with third parties like exchange ss, they can be attacked, hacked and if any of these happens, our asset with them are gone, we should learn to avoid the use of exchange, hold our bitcoin on cold storages and remember that not your keys not your coins still ever remains verdict in bitcoin network.
Light sentence for him, and he is lucky, although he had cough up billions already and cooperate with the authorities that's why the sentence is just 4 months, a slap on the wrist. As for our Bitcoin, yes, although I don't see any connection as he already step down at Binance and so he don't have access to our Bitcoin. Nevertheless, it's bull run already and so it's better to have our BTC in our wallet in which we have total control, private keys and mnemonic phrase. |

Why nobody is discussing that the fight is going to be as a heavyweight fight?  When Jake was always a cruiserweight. Even though on the paper that can be only few kg difference, on the fight day, the difference might be +10kg. Jake will be having a debut as a heavyweight (already a soil for excuse if he looses ), so stamina factor might not be so obvious on Jakes side. No, it's a big difference in weight, so he will be at a disadvantage here but maybe he will try to go as heavy as he can. But remember Mike Tyson is not that big though, he can make this fight around 200'ish pounds so that is good enough for Jake Paul to at least make 190++ pounds. Yes, that's what I'm seeing here, gas tank of Mike Tyson is no longer that deep, even if he trains a lot here, he will still be a at disadvantage because of his age. So not sure how Jake Paul can take advantage of that. Maybe he will try to tire Mike Tyson in the first 5 rounds. I believe Paul's entire game will be around tiring out Tyson until he can do something. Because it doesn't make any sense for him to face him straight away and go for a knockout. If he does this he will suffer a lot Yes, and if we look at it, this could be a very good strategy for Paul in the beginning. However, if he will have to tire Mike Tyson, he will have to engage him at some point in the fight and it could be still dangerous for him as Mike still have that power even at his age, in my opinion. And so Mike might go all out in the first couple of rounds and look for a knockout while Jake Paul will try to avoid it at all cost and shell and cover his face to avoid that power coming in his way. But I think Paul's chin is not that solid, so still 50/50 for him to win by this strategy. |

Well if you want to experience the bonus round then I guess you should avail of the buy bonus. In the beginning, I was not aware of it because I used to play on landbase casinos and there is none of this buy bonus.
But when I play online games, and when I saw this features, I will just readily get and opt to play with it.
However, as slots are base on luck, doesn't matter though if you get the buy bonus or work your way up on a regular bonus. If you are not not lucky enough you might end up losing in the end.

Clippers should be investigated them getting blown by 30 points is a crime. The Clippers are just struggling to get back on track. No need to get investigated. lol They've been inconsistent. But still it's surprising to see Dallas leading by 30 points specially since the Clippers are usually strong at home during the regular season. For sure, game 6 will be the end of this series. It's sad to say Harden, Westbrook and PG will still be ringless. Who do you think will win the Western Conference Semifinals series between the Mavericks and Thunder? I'll pick Thunder this time. Many are rooting for this guy to win a ring but I guess the faith would not let them get that since maybe they are really destined to be great but didn't get a ring just like what other great players experience from the past. But I think its fine since fans still could able remember that they are really a lethal player which can dominate on the floor. Also I guess its to early to tell about this since maybe there's miracle to happen and they need to adjust according to how Mavs set their plays. They just need to work well together and maybe they should eliminate their ego that they are the star and they should put more numbers in the game since this will really be the reason on their defeats sharing the ball is really important since Mavs is not really easy team to defeat this season. Luka made his promise to contribute for the game and they won. he isn't even 100%, we can see that he is still struggling from injury but he is playing like an MVP. Kyrie and Luka combo is present, and everyone played well with their great defense. When Harden and PG are struggling, this is what happen and look at Westbrook, 2-11 shooting, really the big 3 are struggling. PG 4-13 Harden 2-12 Yeah, he said that he felt that he let Kyrie down in their last game. And so he comes back with a double double performance, although triple with 7 rebounds. And as we have seen in the series, this is a defensive game and the defense of Mavs is one of the most underrated this season. They've lockdown PG and Harden, and then not let score 100 points in the series. And if they've done that, there is a big chances that they are going to win. So looking for a close out game next game at their homecourt. |
