The casino has low review ratings and that must be a no go warning for you. Apparently there are 2 threads created about them, one seemed to be a resolved accusation but the other was thought to be a shill account of the casino showing faking wins. Your call.

Totally. Pereira vs Błachowicz is a fair pair. Its not gonna be easy to beat Blachowicz, Pereira could even lose the fight once Jan bring the fight to the ground.

Dana will see whether its worth paying again that leg operation if Chandler breaks Conor's leg. Conor is bound to lose with such condition, he is not fit to fight anymore.  A lot of fans would rather see Dana work together with PFL for Jones vs Ngannou. They should give it a shot this time.

The bull season has yet not come and you already have FOMO. What more could you feel when BTC goes more than 100k already and altcoins green in consecutive 3 months.

There are several memecoins out there that are quite new and they are just like Pepe that we haven't heard of before until it ranked up on CMC as it pumps its way making early investors millionaires.  You got to be careful though because it works both ways, you could win tons of money or you could lose a lot more.

1584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco - May 20 on: May 18, 2023, 07:23:44 PM
I know Loma is already past his prime but I really hope that what is left to him is enough to outsmart Haney. I expect Haney to make another boring fight just to secure his undisputed belts. Haney will jab, move and then hug Loma every time he goes near. At this stage of their careers, Haney will be the stronger guy so he might dictate the hugs in this fight.

Past prime ? GGG fought Canelo at the age of 40 (Loma is 35) and lost only 3-4 points shortage. Before that GGG has finished his opponent in dominant way. He was also 35+, basically same age a Loma. I dont think age is a primary factor here. Age can be interpreted as experience here. Like I've said, it is either Loma goes "pedal to the metal" from very start, or will lose by points. I really doubt that among such experienced fighters, fight is going to end by KO or TKO. So it is all about winning rounds. Right now, Loma prefers to lose first rounds and increase tempo, trying to catch his opponent.

It might be a bad idea for Loma to lose early rounds and to do catch up. He should be blasting Haney whatever way he can, and not give him the confidence. Otherwise, it might be difficult for Loma and for sure he will be looking for a knockout to settle their difference. The more I watch the promotion leading up to the fight, it seems that either one of them are taking this fight personally. Haney saying that Loma is not that good guy that he is portraying in public (and I think this is what the Lopez's has said leading up to their fight). And so Loma will really have to show his talent here and not allow this fight to end in the judges cards.

Well, the last time Loma fought, he was not the same fighter anymore. Was it only ring rust or he just declined? Until I can't see the Loma that beat Linares, I consider him out of his prime. I anticipate Haney as the quicker and stronger guy in this fight. I also hope Loma does not give the early rounds to Haney because that kid will be contented with his jabs throughout this entire fight and will move away or hug to avoid any risks.

Fighters aged in different ways but most of them lose their primes in their mid-30s. Conservative styles like Lennox Lewis, GGG, Bernard Hopkins, and Mayweather Jr. tend to last longer than fighters that use a lot of energy when they fight. Guys like Loma, Roy Jones, and Tyson consume a lot of energy and relied on speed so they will be in trouble once their bodies start to diminish.

Just what I thought so. It could turn into a hug fest if Loma can get a close distance. Devin will likely set the pace for the fight as he somehow does in most of his fights. He'll always step right on it in the middle and it could hang on power jabs that he can throw and body punches.  

Both are fast but I think Loma had declined already. It's always that way and Loma knows it could be his only chance in his weight class.

Nice tools. I have been using dexscreener.com to check the chart of altcoins not listed on major exchanges. dextools.io certainly can be another neat tool to monitor them.

I'm also careful in investing memecoins, I'd rather be going for Doge since it is a lot safer than spending $100 for tokens I can see have pumped over 500x already.

Well I don't think people really know what the law implies about bitcoin  in my country, and what the government  of my country was trying to saying is that, transacting with bitcoin  isn't  bad, but anyone doing so, should be doing so at their absolute  risk and have no right to report such cases as related  to bitcoin  and cryptocurrency at large if things go wrong.

I don't blame the lecturer if he thinks so of bitcoin  bit the truth  is that seeing is believing  and the lecturer  might not believe  in the system except if his shown how it works and I believe  one of the reasons that made your own father believed in it was because you were closer to him and he could see the improvements on your life through bitcoin.

I believe  the lecturers son isn't a child anyone, and should be old enough to make decisions for his future and hence this is when he needs you more and you shouldn't get discouraged  because of his father and you should try as much as possible  to help the poor make wise decisions  now that he can rather than  making regrets tomorrow.

If our school system is built to teach citizens to be part of the military, we'd all be warriors invading countries nearby. But we're not.

They don't really need to start teaching Bitcoin at such early age. They could start with money first.
The entire school system is built entirely for people to become a worker/employees of big businesses. But when school teaches how money works and finance works, they may not find employees anymore. They'd get out of that rat race and work for their own and become a trader themselves. This will have some effect in the future though. Its why students should have choices.

Not sure who he/she is. Most likely the individual could be a member of this community as well.

In any case, it's was a fresh air to see some blogs regarding the community, it's rich history and of course, Theymos himself, to be the man who keep this forum on-going when all others admins has quit.e

Some of us may have known the story already, but there could be some here who even didn't known some facts about this community and it's good that this blog post has open the eyes of this newbies.

Surely the author took time to do some research to have all this information. Bitmex seems to have a huge interest that they've published all of these along with its criticism.  After the criticism though the author appreciates Theymos of his management.

Whether it's true that the hackers got access to the private messages or not. It's gotta be concerning for someone at that time if they have shared information including identities.
1588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: May 17, 2023, 08:57:04 PM
It's been a year and half that I talked last with a family friend who is living in North America and finally, he replied my messages after so many sms sent out to his number, he told me about how he own 60k in gambling and I somehow feel sorry for him but at the same time I doubt this, because I don't see anyone talking about gambling debts before.

To play in any casino you have to come with your money or asset, or are there any casinos that allow play and pay later? Or I am thinking if maybe he used a credit card for gambling? We all know that debt is possible on cards..

I know some people likes taking loans or borrow money, but I know him too well, he always advice us to never take any loan for anything.

I know some are wondering why I don't ask him, he is way older than me and I don't want to ask him, I only told him to take things easy with himself, I don't know if asking can make him feel bad even more.

So is gambling debt one way or other possible without the person taking loan or borrowing money?

He seems to be knowledgeable but you also think he is gullible too?
Just ask him straight you have already sent him messages countless times enough to spook him.

They don't want to obnoxiously take money from people, they will probably avoid the scheme play now and pay later. The house wins all the time and they will realize this scheme is nothing but a robbery.

It's not going to frighten anyone anymore when they find out that Bitcoin price continues to rise up since 2010. This is kind of an assurance that your investment can exponentially grow 100x when you invest for long term, this alone simmers down investors and adopters even when the market suddenly changes.

I have become familiar with this topic by reading info at https://www.babypips.com
I am not an employee of this service, but I want to recommend it because it is well written material.


The free trading systems they share did work for some time until the market changed which happens a lot in crypto.  But I learned a lot about indicators.
1590  Economy / Speculation / Re: Leak Reveals Secret Democratic Plan For A Game-Changing U.S. Crypto Crackdown on: May 17, 2023, 07:44:37 PM
Coinbase is currently fighting this fight for us to get clarity.

With no luck so far. They managed to get the court to force the SEC to respond to their petition but they got denied with SEC essentially telling them to f**ck off and that they'll take however long they want to clarify the rules.
https://blockworks.co/news/sec-responds-to-coinbase-request-for-action-no

Quote
In its response, released Monday evening in New York, the SEC alleged Coinbase has no right to mandamus, which orders a government agency to fulfill certain duties.

“Perhaps recognizing this, Coinbase instead asserts that this Court should compel the Commission to act on Coinbase’s recently filed rulemaking petition,” the SEC wrote in its response. “But no statute or regulation requires the Commission to take such action on a specific timeline.”


A despairing situation for crypto companies trying to look for a way to comply but the lack of clarity made compliance impossible.
It's not good for the US to just watch what is happening in UK and EU, Dubai, and Hongkong this coming bull market while they are still discussing which one SEC or CFTC regulates the crypto market which none is even providing regulations.

The positive thing that is happening though is that they are talking about crypto, and even having a joint hearing.
1591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 17, 2023, 06:38:40 PM
I think he is just talking to talk and trying to get the attention towards him. He is not going to have that kind of success when he does come back. He is obviously one of the best fighters in the UFC. There is no doubt about that. He has certainly become the old hat of the UFC. He is just trying to get attention so that probably he can divert that attention towards his whisky company and increase the sells.  Other than that if he is actually thinking that he will be able to do what he is saying I think he is just being delusional.

Conor McGregor saying yesterday that he will get the all time UFC knockouts record seems a little ambitious for a guy coming off an injury who hasn’t knocked anybody out in a while… Not to mention he isn’t getting any younger so he must be planning a massive comeback with a lot of fights if he thinks this is possible for him to obtain.

He must have been looking at how Ngannou took the stage already while him Connor's career is fading daylight. But he wants to remind fans that once upon a time he was the best in MMA. Ngannou taking big offers from other promotions besides UFC is also making him bigger, it could be that the world will know him more than Connor.

It seems like Ngannou's name grow big after what he did to UFC and showing reluctance to sign easily to any of the other rival MMA promotions. The $20 million 2-fight deal from ONE is the biggest per-fight guarantee although PFL's deal allowed Ngannou to become part of the board, allowed him to box, and have a huge PPV share which will be more beneficial only if his PPV numbers grow more than his previous numbers at UFC.

Ngannou is expected to return to MMA action next year so it will be 2 years of inactivity. Although he is expected to have a heavyweight boxing tune-up this year before vying for a shot at either Fury, AJ, or Wilder. Seriously though, he cannot beat any of the top 20 heavyweights except his puncher's chance. A shameful loss to boxing at least won't hurt much if in case his market will diminish since PFL only gave a guarantee of 7 digits in each of his next 3 MMA fights. 

Sounds like ONE's offer is a lot preferable. There could be changes to his fighting style by now after some boxing training, I'm sure he has a chance to win against any boxer.

1592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: May 17, 2023, 02:52:44 AM
I don't understand this love for Trump at all, makes no sense to me. As we all know Trump could go out all by himself, no questions, no debate, just him, and he would still lose votes when he does that, that is exactly what happened when he was the president.

When he got elected, that was a lot of people not wanting to vote for Hillary, that was the main reason, people who would normally vote for the democrat candidate, didn't went out to vote for Hillary. After Trump got elected, people saw their mistake and a record breaking number of people voted for Biden, you think that was because Biden was good? Of course Biden is not good, of course he can't put two sentences back to back that makes sense, he sucks, but people hate Trump more than they like Biden, that's the key. How could someone not see that?

Ever since 2016, a majority of voters in the POTUS elections have voted for a candidate not because they like him or his policies, but because they oppose and hate the opposing candidate. Happened with Trump in 2016. He won because there was a massive wave against Hillary. And in 2020, Trump was at the receiving end. There was a massive wave against him, and this enabled Biden to win. And in 2024, once again it is going to be the same. Biden has record disapproval ratings as of now, and if Trump participates in the election, then a lot of voters will chose him just because they hate Biden.

That would likely happen as people will compare how they are in the time of Trump vs the time they are in Biden.  Surely they can tell the difference since Trump had not made the prices of stuff go up the roof. More crises got worse in Biden's time making the voters hate. And this hate means no vote for him.

Desantis seem no match in terms of popularity.
Luckily Biden seems to be useful for both parties and not yet thrown him under the bus unlike Andrew Cuomo who could have been a better presidentiable but in a snap, all his dreams crumbled.
1593  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which wallet should a beginner choose? on: May 17, 2023, 02:33:33 AM

Currently, there is an issue with the Ledger wallet that pissed off their customers regarding their TOS. I think it's for the new hardware where they decide to allow users recovery of seed. From what I understood, they are going to send the seed to 3rd party for the seeds to be kept.

This is the article I've read. https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/05/16/ledger-bats-back-criticism-of-new-wallet-recovery-service/

People are already saying this is not an opensource wallet so seems very sketchy to just trust them about it. I wanna hear some opinions from you gus about this.
1594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: A long term investor here, thinking about adding RoLLBit Token on: May 17, 2023, 02:14:00 AM

It's risky but if you see the token to be at its bottom price, it's less risky as it also gives you the advantage in a share of the casino’s profits.
It's up to you to decide.

The casino was planing something else for the utility of the token but it's yet to be discussed. If there is a sudden pump of the token, I wouldn't be surprised if it's about the new use case.

And they have like a grand arrivals, MGM Grand.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkx_kBZobqE

Both look great, so we should be expecting a close fight, lots of fans in attendance. Good interview and overall good marketing ploy for Top Rank and maybe they still want to attract as much as casual boxing fans to bring in the money this weekend.

So for sure, everyone is excited, I haven't put my bet yet, but a Loma bet is surely very attractive ML or by decision win or by knockout or technical knockout.

Well, we can't blame people for getting excited because this is a big fight. I agree that the odds of Loma are very attractive, so I'm sure some fans will be placing significant bets on him. This could potentially be Loma's last fight if he were to lose, but nothing is certain. Loma has been dominant in the past, but he is not getting any younger. Going up against a young champion who holds most of the advantages, it's clear that the majority of fans will be cheering for his opponent.

Though it's not as big as the promotion for Garcia vs Davis, this is still a big fight. With the advantages, Haney would be my bet for this fight.  Yep, this is a young fighter vs Loma where Haney also has tons of experience and also has a KO punch. 

Haney is risking belts but if he wins, a bigger fight for his career will happen. There were talks about Haney vs Davis after this and this is a big motivation to win.

For a decade people are hearing about Bitcoin going up and dying several times, yet up to this day it's still alive. They sure have an understanding of what BTC does. Whether they see it as investment or currency, it's going to make them profit.

It's not the understanding of Bitcoin that is wrong, its what they believe it can do in a short period of time especially when they see it as a get rich quicxk.

Online job however is not for all. Some people couldn't last an hour in front of a monitor. While you wanna test your limits in learning trading skills and see how it works out, you're going to find out what you're made of in tough times such as a long bear market. This will indeed test your emotions, discipline, and resolve.

Offline jobs are always available, people today have 2-3 jobs to survive. One person I know has to borrow my bike to show up at his 2nd job where he throws the thrash of the residents in a building apartment. This is their resolve.

I imagine how he did it like by the time the manager is scheduled to check the post count of Duel participants, he changes his sig to Duel as well and then does the same when it's time for Better Call Raul. That's tight!  This is hard to investigate. I'm speculating @shasan caught him because he catches the username @Shan85 every time on threads.

Now that someone is doing it, it's possible there are other jogglers out there.

I couldn't help but think they are also stealing from us. Taking advantage of the situation since we are trying to avoid withdrawing BTC due to high fees, this time they are also increasing the amount to deduct upon withdrawing altcoins.

I kind of feel the need to ignore it though compare to having to send BTC for more than $10 in 30 minutes. That's the condition for anyone trying to send out, I feel you but the 2nd option may still be a good option.

Running out of patience is always a problem we don't easily get rid of and most of the time it results differently from what we hope. You already tripled the amount and then lost everything.

I needed the money. I stop betting $1 and the faster I can make money the faster I can get out of the site and as I'm saying to myself so doubling down fast in a coffee break just using my phone. Before I could even go back to my job, I already lost it all.
