We are halfway into January and we are still around 20k Bitcoin price we may have a very slow growth in this period and since we are already above 20k the only time we can expect to end the month at a 25k price of we should be climbing up to around 22k before this week end.
some speculators are already predicting a further pull back since the price have dropped below the 21k within the last 24 hours. But if tge price of Bitcoin can really recover up to 22k in thos months only then we can expect to see a significant bull come back with a lot of recoveries to do in the coming month if all things keep being equal and on a positive appetite. The next days are going to be very important as according to some reports Genesis could declare bankruptcy a week from now, and it would be natural for the bears to take advantage of this opportunity to try to make the price to go even lower. Regardless though, we haven't seen that much impact and dent on the price, although we have some corrections, going to back < $21k. But I think the $20k price is our support for now. But if the price can sustain itself and does not drop that hard then that would mean there are not many weak hands left on the market and that a stronger recovery is just a matter of time, and while I think this is the most likely scenario, a strong downward movement cannot be discarded completely.
As I have said, still holding and we didn't go below $20k, so maybe those who are selling are just small fraction, and investors are continuing to take advantage of the cheap price and loading as much bitcoin as they can at $20k price. What we should look is the price action throughout this month not just the end of the week as I have a feeling that we are going to sustain above $20k this month which is a good sign. |

Also, Donaire is more suited in the bantamweight division rather than looking for a title at 115 pounds as I'm inclined that his career might end sooner that what he expected. Having a fight against Moloney for the vacant title is already a good opportunity for Donaire to display his prowess again in this division that he was once a champion, it will be a perfect bout for him to test if he can still do few more fights or it's time for him to hang up his gloves.
It's such a waste to go on retirement soon when he still feeling it and he still can punch to knock out his opponent. since this boxing industry gathers huge money, it's really hard for those like Donaire to turn away from offers while he still can box and can give the fans excited when he fights in the ring. I think he will stop when he will gonna suffers the same loss again when he will gonna be knockout out cold or can no longer take some punches like how he used to be in his prime. right now, his speed is not the same anymore, and when he retires he will be soon fighting celebrity boxers if he still wants to make money from boxing. Whether we like it or not, Donaire will be retiring soon, he is already 40 years old and that's already old in boxing now. He suffer many losses already, one was against Inoue which was his recent loss, but of course, he has a chance to be a champion again as Inoue has already moved up in weight. So it's nice if he will just retire as a champion in case he'll be a champ again. It only make sense for Donaire to retire because admit it or not, father time has catch up with him, have you notice that thin hair line now? just like what we have seen in Lebron James, signs that they are getting old. So this is his last chance, we don't want him to get knockout cold, if he lost for the belt against Moloney then that should be it. It's time to admit that he can no longer box. There's only a limit for a certain thing and Nonito Donaire should already accept the reality if it turns out that he cannot have a title in this division anymore, there's no need to look in the lower division too because there's nothing to prove anymore. He's been known to be "The Flash" but lately, he's not that flashy or fast anymore as his opponent are already catching up with him. I think him going to 115 lbs as his plan in the beginning is obviously to get another belt under his waist, that's why he is looking for Juan Francisco Estrada as his best ticket for that. But as we all know, Inoue no longer wants to fight at 118 lbs, so all the plans of Donaire were scratch. Now he is back at 118 lbs and looking for at least one belt against Moloney, but seems there is a hindrance for that one. |

The Mavericks are building a team around him so he has the power to demand the whole management to be active in trades. He's like Le-GM Version 2.0 now. Kidding  . He will eventually become like LeBron who will have a huge influence inside the management. I think it's too early for that for his career to bring a demand like that, he has not proven anything yet, like carrying his team to the finals, like what LeBron did in 07, until he realized he's not getting any help from the Cavs management. The Mavs are in a better spot right now. Luka just need to make his teammates getting involved more offensively. Here's to hoping that Luka won't end up demanding a lot from the management and getting all the attention get up to his head. He's still getting better each time, and we haven't seen prime Luka Doncic yet. Hopefully the Mavs management take advantage of their current position while Luca is still happy with the current setup and build the team around him with better teammates that has the offensive power and can make plays for him as well. The man also needs to be more active in terms of leadership in order to have his team motivated to play instead of just relying on himself to win games for the team. Not sure if he is happy or not, he is still very young and probably not demanding any at this point. But there will be a time that he might ask Cuban to surround him with better role players, who can really help and contribute not just playing just for the sake of being in the team. He already shows that he can carry the team, but it's not always that he will have to do that because his body can only take so much in the grueling 82 games and then we have the playoff. |

Finally, the last obstruction to make this happen is cleared as Dela Hoya posted on social media the contract of the Ryan - Davis fight, so glad that they did not make this another Spence - Crawford scenario, this is the biggest fight coming in April I'm eager to see their press conference and their face off and what they are going to say to each other. Tank Davis vs Ryan Garcia deal appears done, De La Hoya shows off contract I am very skeptical hehe. I speculate that Oscar dela Hoya knew already that the contract will be signed he and only created some headlines to give the fight more attention from the sportsnews media. It worked, I reckon. Everyone started to talk about Tank, King Ry and similar to me, people were creating storylines of which boxer really does not want to fight on May hehehehe. In any case, is the fight on April or May? I have read a few articles where it was mentioned to be on May. Newer articles mention it will be on April. Maybe, we all know that Oscar or at least his guy Ryan Garcia wanted to get the attention of the media to create the hype for this fight although we are already waiting for this huge fight to be sign. So the storylines have been seen, regardless if the fight is April or May, at least they got the contract sign and that is the good news for us. We will just have to wait for the official date and venue and then bookies opening their lines. |

The only drawback for Ethereum is that it become so very centralized now that it will not sit well with some of us. There are even reports that there are a million validators, so imagine that, everyone has control and maybe there could be one validator who has the majority.
But if you are ok with this kind of setup for Vitalik's project then why not, there are predictions that it might hit 5 digits in the future.
So if Bitcoin goes to $100k, Ethereum might see $10k.

What are they thinking? is this their way to keep everything balanced?  ~ Ja Morant is surely one of a kind and the fans are always looking forward to seeing him dunk on someone every time he plays. Thankfully he always has been negative and we can see more of his amazing dunks in the future. Though they are different from Vince Carter, I'm glad I'm seeing in the NBA who can actually dunk without hesitation whenever he got the chance. He really needs to do more of this because he will miss it when he gets old as Vince does. When you are doing the unnatural, you will be tested. Didn't we see that right after Donovan Mitchell posted 71 points against the Chicago Bulls? The next day they tested him and he even tweeted about it. The funny thing is, the NBA said the drug testing will only be done 4 times per season. 1 pre-season, 2 regular, 1 final. Ain't this too much testing Ja Morant? I mean, his leaps are extraordinary but considering how fit he is, that should be normal and we have seen it a lot of times already, so it won't be a question anymore. He can jump, no doubt. It makes you wonder how many players will have to go thru this whenever they feel like they want to jump higher. Not the first time that we have seen this kind of spectacular dunk by Ja Morant though, and maybe last season he was also tested by the NBA and all is clean. So we shouldn't be surprised if players are tested and pass because some of them are gifted athletically like Morant or even the Giannis. And he is still in his prime though, so no question about it. Well if he is like in his 30's and not in his top shape then suddenly dunking again, that will raise an alarm. But right now, it's normal, just like what we have seen in Vince Carter when he was in his prime. |

It's tempting, but no dice for me, it's too early to sell as the price is still very low. Even if you bought at $15,500 the margin of profit is still not huge as compare to selling your stash in a bull run.
(....)
But if you are not looking forward to a bull run this year, you gonna sell even if you bought at the $15,000 level. For me, I have some Bitcoin that bought around $17,000 and just sold when Bitcoin broke the $20,000 level a few days ago because I believe, there are still a lot of opportunities to accumulate more Bitcoin before this year ends. There are a lot of opportunities to accumulate, but who knows, maybe it will not present itself like when the price is $15k-$17k. So maybe it's best to keep it and hold for a while. And I'm surprised though to hear from you saying that people are not looking for a bull run? Because that's what we are looking at right? You saying that you are not looking forward in 2024/25 ATH and will just keep on selling as long as you are making profits? |

Before rebuilding they can taste another play-off run with Bron, maybe one last time.
That's what the Lakers fans want to see even though the chances are kind of slim at the moment. But who knows as long as the Lakers are trying their best to remain alive in getting this year's playoff spot regardless if they will play on the play-in or not. LeBron James' possibly achieving one of the toughest records in the league which is becoming the number 1 in NBA All-time Scoring leaders + Lakers competing in the playoffs will be a sweet achievement for the Lakers this season. Anthony Davis might come back with a few games before the All-Star or early February as far as some rumor about his status is concerned. Maybe when Davis comes back, there chances are going to skyrocket to make the playoffs. Hopefully when Davis goes back, it will not be too late for him. Although they are losing games, it's very close one and it could go either way. And it seems that the whole Lakers is somewhat getting their second wind as they are playing very high level with James and Westbrook and some of their role players. So let's wait when is AD going to be back and hopefully he will be healthy throughout after the All Star break. He is one key figure with the Lakers, and he will have to play the second half of the regular season to stay alive their hopes of getting into another playoff together. |

There is no official announcement yet of this fight, but the two are still going at it at their social media accounts which lead me to believed that this fight is going to happen. They are talking about the March date, so maybe the 2nd or 3rd week of that month.
However, it can still push thru if they haven't settled down small things like the size of the ring, and weight of the gloves and others. Hopefully we can hear it officially before the end of this month.
maybe, they are talking so the interest won't die down among boxing fans. they need to earn from this fight so they should make sure there's hype for this match. sometimes the delay is owed to purse split if both camps don't agree with their share. but in any case, if they feel they are ready to rumble, their promoters will publish the date. I agree, they really need to sit down and talk about this fight, the hype has been building for years for this two to square in the ring. And then with a spectacular knockout of the year from Caleb Plant. They need to settle in the middle if those small things are to be settled. Most probably Caleb Plant is playing mind games with David and his team regarding his request of a bigger size arena so that he can run from David's power punches. But then when the fight happen, Caleb will have a different game plan. |

Damian Lillard expresses to the Blazers before that if the team won't work out properly to improve the team, he might break that loyalty thing. But several seasons have passed now and looks like Dame already accepts that Blazers won't do their very best to sign a Superstar level to join him. What's the reason? For me, it's because the Blazers have nothing to offer such a huge contract to other Superstars as they go all-in for Dame. Inspired by the late Kobe, Jerry West, Larry Bird and Dirk? Maybe that's the reason why Dame is very vocal right now regarding him staying with the Blazers and be loyal instead of him going out and find another team. If he really is genuine into what he is saying then we might see him staying with the Blazers. Right now, they are at the bottom spot again of the standings but they've got a promising player in Simons. Having better players alongside Lillard and Simons might change the whole team. On the other hand, their chances of winning a title so far is close to zero. I mean we don't see any reasons for the team to win a title right. . Maybe lets just hope that they will enter at least the playoffs or the play-ins this season. Those name won championship that's why they remain loyal to the franchise. Dame has not proved anything yet so we shouldn't compare his name with those great players. Yes, Simons is good but I don't think it will be enough help for Dame. It's just CJ 2.0, and we all know that their partnership didn't end well, not even close to bring the team into the WCF. |

Artur will surely win in this fight , Yarde is good but not enough to defeat a monster like Beterbiev , just watch the past fight of him and the answer is already given,
Perhaps the right term is that his chances are high, because he has a immaculate record and has been knocking down his opponents lately, so he possesses a power in this division that no one can take, even Anthony Yarde. But just like any boxing fans, Yarde chance is very slim and maybe what we call a miracle can make his win this fight. That one punch that will chance the outcome. But we will see, both seems to be very confident of their talent to win here. |

Probably this is just one strategy made up by someone who bet on games that he didn't know and won some money and later he know that what he bet is against the public.
So yes this could make or break for some gamblers. I mean the strategy is just to simply that you just have to look at what the public is betting on public like going to Vegas and see how the betting is going on several games and then choose the opposite. If you win then good for you.

Here's my bet, Sacramento vs Spurs, I will go wit the Kings -6.5 @1.95.
And then with Nets vs OKC, OKC (underdog), ML @2.55 and 4.5 @1.94.
It seems that you got this 2 bets already, Just imagine though if you have parlay the underdog OKC with the Sacramento handicap that is going to be huge odds. But still I understand that it's a single bet as lately parlays are getting destroyed. So good win for you mate. Lakers vs Sixers, again, I like the underdog Lakers, ML @2.25.
Very close game so far, Lakers still at the middle of the game against the Sixers. Last 4 minutes of the game and the Sixers just lead by 1. |

It's important to remember that predicting the price of bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is a tricky business. There are many factors that can influence the price, including market sentiment, government regulations, and even world events.
What is more important in bitcoin price guess is the market sentiment and bull period, others factors like CPI and some others can affect it too, but in long term, market sentiment is enough to know the bull run time. So, while bitcoins reached $20,000, it's also possible that it could go in the opposite direction. One thing to keep in mind is that the crypto market is still relatively young and volatile. It's not uncommon for prices to fluctuate wildly, even within a short period of time. So even if bitcoin crosses $20,000, it's important to be prepared for the possibility of a correction.
That is true but it is still good to continue to DCA. Even if we hold some coins, bitcoin can not remain at $20000, it is still going ATH, but the kind of money that should be used for this kind is the one that we do not need until a long time period. Yes, never think that just because we are in this sort of bull run, we shouldn't buy and continue to accumulate through DCA and other strategies to stack sats, this is still good buying price in my opinion. CPI will be a big factor for this price surge that we have been experiencing. Hopefully this could sustain it's run till hitting that $25k price range. That will be the biggest test for us, $25k and then see how it goes. Or maybe will see some corrections along the way, we shall see. |

I love me some Dame time. But he is on the backend of his career he can't be the young juice they bring in. AD and Bron will be another year older. Bringing in vets barely ever works. Honestly Beal might be a good option though, haven't followed his injury history although I know he has been out this year a bunch already. They need bodies on the floor 82 games a year. That is their issue. Yeah, but maybe he can still bring some championship to the Lakers? He is still good no doubt about that, it's that the Portland management was not able to surround Dame with good players. and maybe if him and Lebron can be team mates, who knows, maybe they will click as long as the second unit will be their to assists them. I understand that they have to play gruelling 82 games and then the playoffs, but that's the true testament of a good player and solid team. And I think Dame + Lebron might be a good combo. |

When it comes to defense, I'll go with tank davis. His footwork is so good that he dodged a lot of punches from his last fight between him and hector garcia. His punch is so powerful that bigger opponents can't take the damage in their body. I don't know if Ryan has a body that can take the punch of Tank but he is an orthodox fighter and he has a crazy fast hooks and jabs. He dropped Javier Fortuna with his crazy jabs. The hook of King Ryan is also powerful so we should expect that we can see hooks vs hooks between him and Tank.
Hector Garcia is too slow on that's fight, he can't predict which side Tank will punch him, that's why he get many punches landed on his face and his promoter stopped the fight since Garcia complaining about his eyesight. Ryan Garcia once fall when he was fight with Luke Campbell, so it's proving if Garcia doesn't have a tough chin. Tank just need to play like this to beat Ryan Garcia, fast and unpredictable, it will shock Ryan Garcia. Both are close fighters, their accuracy is their premium talent, and both are young with a chance of one punch KO. I think we will see knockdowns happen but they will fight back. Like that time Ryan Garcia was knocked down by Campbell, he went back up and ended it with a liver punch that made Campbell unable to stand up. He must be more aggressive here though as he is the challenger. While the Tank starts slow, the strategy could be to not let him have an opening. More attacks, and get that haymaker land as early as possible. I am worried Garcia's chin won't be able to handle Davis' hook though. The power though of Campbell is way below Tank's level, so imagine if Tank caught up Ryan with that left hook, gonna be good night for Ryan as I doubt that he can get up from the power of Davis. On the other hand, Tank was hit by Hector Garcia in his last fight, and if that is Ryan Garcia it could also ended up in a different outcome. So we will see which one with landed that first left hook and what will be the reaction. |

For a full list you can check this link: https://coinmarketcap.com/largest-companies/We are in the 20th spot, just ahead of Walmart and Tesla, but below JP Morgan and NVIDIA. And on top, Apple, MicroSoft, Google and Amazon. In any case though, not sure if comparison is needed by Bitcoin against this company, I mean the market is very volatile that we can jump several places below/higher. Just wait till the next bull run, for sure we may crack top 10-15, and then goes down hard again in a bear market. |

The organization itself will find ways to connect him to Inoue. Marketing both fighters is no longer hard, as they already have that trash talk connection, just need to add more ideas to bring a huge fire.
The thing here is if the promoter of Inoue would consider a fight with Casimero. It was Bob Arum's fault that the second chance for both boxer to fight got dissolve. Remember the 1st fight were canceled due to the pandemic and the second possible fight did not materialize because Bob Arum has a different thing in mind. The fight Inoue - Moloney should be Inoue - Casimero but then Bob Arum has another plan and agreed with the Inoue - Moloney. It is indeed easy for these to boxer to meet in the ring but their promoter made it difficult. Bob Arum is more on the money side, if there are many readers who can be converted to a possible viewer/ticket sales, maybe Arum will consider this possibility, for now, he still leaning with his cash cow Inoue and he needs to maximize all the profits that he can earned from his champ, still have a chance for Casimero but like what I said above he need to make his way to bring his name up inside the division and force the fans to bring him to an option for Inoue's fight. I think it's more on Inoue's fault why he didn't get the chance to fight Inoue. All he had to do is make weight and win the fight against Butler. Now, it's getter harder for him to call out Inoue because he has no belt and not even recognized top 5 in any of the body in his new weight class. So forget about Casimero for now, the focus of Arum is Inoue against the champion in 122 lbs like Fulton and Murodjon Akhmadaliev. That is where the money is right now, not Casimero to be honest. |

Jazz are looking good, they have successfully defended their home court again in a close game against the Magic.
As usual, Lauri and Clarkson are the top performers, but they also had some help from other role players.
Also, Sexton was already back, so he was a good help to the team, just sad to see that he isn't as clutch as Clarkson because he missed his 2FT in a crucial time, good thing they gain the rebound.
How about the Denver Nuggets? They are the underdogs when the game started against the Clippers because they played Jokic-less and yet they won the game by letting it rain 3-pointers. This is a good sign, they can win games on the road and against a strong team even without the heart of their plays. How scary is the Nuggets? when we thought that without Jokic, the Clippers can at least snag a good win and carry their momentum. But they are also so inconsistent that they allow the Nuggets to take over the game in the last 2 quarters. So yes, this is a good sign that Nuggets is proving themselves to be the top seed in the West right now. No Jokic, they can win with Porter Jr and Jamal Murray taking the lead. Things will be different in the playoffs though but I believe this lineup is a great lineup that could potentially win a championship. Clippers? I think they need to stay healthy, especially Paul George because Leonard alone cannot win against the strong teams in the West. Nuggets vs Warriors in the WCF, I think that's fun to watch. And I guess Jokic has matured already, so no more emotions in the playoff if ever they make it as a first seed in the West. And obviously, he doesn't have Jamal Murray at his wing that's why they have to fight it out in a very competitive playoff series. He just need to be healthy and so is Murray and Michael Porter Jr, and Gordon, I think this is the best season that they had and hopefully it will not go to waste this time. |
