161  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin stable and invisible preventing the devaluation of government Money on: May 02, 2024, 10:31:25 AM
This is what Bitcoin BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto said
It is an electronic cash. I think it is an electronic cash.

So the question is why the price of Bitcoin increases? Why do we want to save?

Answer: In fact Bitcoin price does not rise, in fact the value of government money is gradually decreasing from -3x to -6x to -16.......and more wil decreasing in future.

BTC 1 Bitcoin was worth 1$ in 2010
Now Today' (2-May-2024). 1 Bitcoin is worth 57000 dollars, 1 Bitcoin is 57000$ means 57000$ worth of money has gradually reduced to 1$ and bitcoin has a power to show it clearly.

  Cool And that is the invisible depreciation of inflation and we are become safe when we hold Bitcoin.  Cheesy

Yes, it was designed to be peer to peer electronic cash by Satoshi and in the beginning it is working as designed, but throughout the years, it evolved to be an asset or store of value.

I don't know what you meant by depreciation though, Bitcoin price is very volatile, and base on cycle, the price can go down hard, and we term that bear cycle. And then when the price are going up, like the one that we are seeing this year, then we are in a bull run. But as you have said, just continue to save and accumulate and sooner we might see the price increasing again and the prediction is that we might see 6 digits in the future.

And now it looks like the pattern that the OP put here might be emerging, and base on the response including myself, I doubt that $50k might be reach. But today, we've seen fluctuations as long as $56k and then moving forward to $60k.

It's seems that we are in bear market after the halving?

Or it is just the market is not reacting to any as there are no positive news but instead we will go on another downward trend?

@Kemarit. You are correct. There is no argument against the signing of the contract with the rehydration clause is Ryan's fault. My argument is against the fans who do not consider the rehydration clause as the cause of King Ry's loss. Similar to what you have said, Tank will not fight this version of King Ry because he does not want to fight King Ry where he is strongest. However, King Ry agreed to fight Tank in his strongest and with a rehydration clause hehehehehe. I reckon it is very clear who will create a bigger legacy. This will not be Tank.

Too early to say who has a clear legacy, this fighters are still very young, and as per argument there could be fans that at the end of the day will used this fight to push Tank as the best compare to Ryan. Similar to fans that boasted Floyd's 50-0 against Manny Pacquaio for all the greatness after their retirement. But as we can see though, Manny's run was incredible, 8 division and many still considers the greatest and the best and Floyd is just second to him. So let's see how Ryan career will go after that big upset win against Haney. He could be a champion like Manny an be like by fans and even if he has lost already perhaps down in the future, if he chooses good fight, maybe, just maybe he will be up there with some of the great fighters.
164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: May 01, 2024, 10:05:57 AM
There are a lot of great 122 lbs in history, for sure you are familiar with Manny Pacquiao as he was once a champion at this division. And we will forget about Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales fights at 122 lbs?

I doubt though that a grown ass man can put down a pro 122 lbs. This are train assassins with their hands as their deadly weapon.

The first three fights between Rafael Marquez and Israel Vasquez were also in this weight class and are considered some of the greatest fights of all time. Even thigh there is usually more talent in higher weight classes, super bantamweight has always been a notable exception.

Size isn’t all that matters. Inoue might be shorter than average, but has managed to reach the top of the pound for pound rankings and become a major attraction, selling out the Tokyo Dome. Skill level and entertainment value are what really matter the most, which is why this bout is so highly anticipated .

And I've read that the stadium that Inoue is performing in Japan is around 50,000 capacity and he can fill that up when he fights. In the US, it's only 20,000 full capacity sits. So it make sense for him to just fight in the Japan, but still though US fans wanted to see him in the US soil.

I also love to hear Nery very confident and trying to trash talk his way into the mind of Inoue and, but I don't think that it's going to work.

There are a lot of historical fights in 122 lbs, yes, the trilogy between Marquez vs Vasquez, (maybe they have a 4th fight, I can't remember though, everything is based on my memory so pardon me if I'm wrong here).
165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 01, 2024, 09:44:47 AM
The Philly game tonight was something else. They may have won the game but I feel like the basketball community is turning on Joel Embiid. They’re tired of his flopping antics and it shows on social media.

Yeah, and it's Tyrese Maxey who carry the team as the made a incredible run to tie the score and force OT.

So let's see how the series will turn out, I thought that it should be a close out for the Knicks and then relax, now they have to travel to Wells Fargo to get back and end this series for good.

Same with Boston, they need to get a win at the road against the Heat for a 4-1 series win.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul to Fight Mike Tyson in Live Netflix Boxing Event - July 20 on: April 30, 2024, 08:00:37 PM
Perhaps he haven't follow boxing or exhibition matches as we all know that this is not a professional fight and as such, it will not end in 6 seconds because people big money just to see Mike Tyson. And if it ended it 6 seconds, it's going to be one of the biggest scams in boxing.
Officially this fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is now sanctioned as professional fight and it will count on both fighter records.
This is surprise for me, most people expected this to be exhibition fight without judges and with draw possibility because only knockout would count as a win.
Instead we are going to have eight rounds that are two-minute long, so there is a chance someone wins on points.

Whatever you look at it though, even if this is sanctioned as a professional fight, it is still 100% exhibition. A pro fighter, a legend against a glorified Youtuber. That is no match and purely for entertainment purposes only.

Of course, they will have to put some spin on it and supposedly now become a pro fight to hype it. They just want to removed the stigma of Iron Mike vs Roy Jones Jr wherein even if there is judges, the fight was declared a draw.
167  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next movement of Bitcoin. Let's share everything you can about Bitcoin. on: April 30, 2024, 10:41:52 AM
Hello everyone,
I am a crypto investor and have invested much in meme coins and other altcoins. Now I am in minus; you know it is pressuring my head. Because I am a beginner investor, I need to know the next movements of Bitcoin. It will help me and other noobies who have invested in crypto.

Thanks in advance

That is a bad sign if you are pressured on your investment, that is why,

"Invest what you can afford to lose", so I guess you can't do anything about your holdings of altcoin, just be patience and if you wanted to sell at least get back what you invested.

We don't know what the is the exact movement of Bitcoin, it's a speculative asset and so you just have to be a long term investor. Why? because it will take time for Bitcoin market to be in a bull run, meaning price is going to be up for a certain period of time and will likely reach new all time high. And with that, if you just buy and be a holder and then sell when it reaches top price maybe next year.
168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your favorite to lose slot game on: April 30, 2024, 09:17:49 AM
Anyone plays Pragmatic's Sweet Bonanza?

This is one of my favorite games to play right now and as much as I don't like to say, but yeah, I'm losing money on it, or at least as an excuse 50/50 so far.  Smiley

And everyone for sure despite losing money in their favorite slots, as least we are enjoying the game.
Yes, I played Pragmatic's Sweet Bonanza. Slot games are really very difficult to win, especially big wins.
I can only dream of winning it. I have never won more than $5 when I lost more than $5.
The game made me lose many times, even though I returned to play it another day. I don't know why I haven't managed to get a decent win from that slot game until now.
But I can only assume it was because I didn't have the same luck as the others.

Yes, same here, Sweet Bonanza game is really addicted specially if you hadn't experience the bonus and makes you want to get it with regular games (not buy bonus features). And then as what you also experience, the volatility, really hard to win.

So this is only one game as well for me that I've lost many times and even if I win some, still if I have to compute everything, I will still be in minus playing this game. But this what makes this slot games exciting for us, the adrenaline chase.
169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 30, 2024, 07:42:22 AM
^
The Lakers just didn't learn. Cheesy
That's one heck of a perimeter running shot from Jamal Murray for a game-winner. That's not easy, I could tell. No balance, feet not set, and being in front of a defender. He really mastered basketball to be able to do that.

And there are early reports if I'm not mistaken that Murray is hurt. Another buzzer beater, they can now call Murray the Lakers killer, lol. And then the defense that Jokic put on Lebron on those dying seconds forcing him to pass the ball.

Timberwolves against the Nuggets. That will be fun!

Yes, this is going to be an interesting series, we have Gobert vs Jokic for sure in the middle. Gordon another defense job for him to control ANT just like what he did to Lebron in this series, make him work for every points.
170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul to Fight Mike Tyson in Live Netflix Boxing Event - July 20 on: April 30, 2024, 07:10:23 AM
This will be among one of the top fights ever in history in boxing. From my observation and information Jake Paul simply want to make a name in boxing, and that's what he us working towards of which this fight can make such show.
I believe  Mike  will end this show in 6 seconds with a a super Knockout(KO) can't afford to miss this fight.
Let's not exaggerate, this is an exhibition fight, and that alone disqualifies it to ever become as important as you claim it can be, and if that was not enough this is a fight between an influencer and a boxer, which despite being at the top of the boxing word when he was a professional, he is way past his prime.

So if you are excited about this fight that is cool and all, but do not try to make this more than what it is, otherwise you will be disappointed when you watch the fight.

Perhaps he haven't follow boxing or exhibition matches as we all know that this is not a professional fight and as such, it will not end in 6 seconds because people big money just to see Mike Tyson. And if it ended it 6 seconds, it's going to be one of the biggest scams in boxing.

But I do agree, everyone is excited to see Tyson in the ring and maybe win here.

However, this could fight is not as what we expected, as base on the odds, Jake Paul is the favorite and not Mike Tyson.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 29, 2024, 01:56:44 AM
Watched a few of the games so far tonight. Decent games. Was surprised seeing the Clippers take out the Mavs, and tying up the series. Definitely interested in how that series is going to end up. Then watched the Knicks and Sixers games a bit. Still kinda hard to believe the Knicks have been doing so well, especially getting a 2 seed. Will be interesting to see how these other games play out.

Playoff Paul George and Harden's Houston version show up in this game. It was George who carry them in the first half and then Harden's becoming a scoring like he was still in his Houston's day against the Warriors in the playoff.

So this series is evenly match as this point, and it's really hard to see who is going to win the series.

Kawhi is out, but still PG and Harden are good to match what Luka and Irving can do. They silence the Maverick crowd with this big win.

I think it's more on the software side lingo, that's why it was called "block" chain. As it means, that data is being broken into smaller units.

And that's why aptly called blockchain chunks on data, and it become ordered records.

How can it be a bad data structure when it is chronologically ordered?
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Israil Madrimov vs Terrence Crawford on: April 27, 2024, 08:49:47 AM
Here is the press conference,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5rTN-Xs_rE

So for now there is no trash talking, seems that Madrimov is respectful. But we all know that this is two warriors so as the fight get's close we might see some trash talking. I would agree that this fight looks good in paper, but I think Crawford will win and then face Spence later.

Most fighters from the former Soviet Union are honorable and respectful but very tough. I think Bud was trying to get the attention of Madrimov during the faceoff but it was ignored like nonsense. Cheesy I remember Tyson Fury and Adrien Broner trying to start a drama against Usyk and Pacman but to no effect.

I also think Bud can land his powerful counters on Madrimov. But then it depends if Bud has enough speed and power to hurt the bigger and younger guy. Madrimov is not yet popular in the western world which is why the odds are too wide but I'm still excited in this fight.

Or maybe there is also this language barrier? I do agree though, I remember the Maidana vs Broner, wherein Broner was really trash talking, but Maidana didn't bite anything as obviously he didn't understand what Broner is saying but it's way below the belt. But it was the classic example of trash talking gone wrong, Lol.

I think Bud will have no problems at 154 lbs, although with just eye balling Madrimov, he looks bigger and stronger. But I think Bud will figure him out in about 2-3 rounds and then go counter all night and I wouldn't be surprised that he will utilized his upper-cut here.
174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 27, 2024, 08:29:12 AM
Maybe Austin Reaves is the only player that I think will remain with AD and Lebron. D'Lo 0 points in a must-win game is unacceptable unless he comes back in game 4 with a big offensive flow and help the team win.

True but it's too late for Lebron, they need another star player that is as good as Murray so Lebron and AD could continue doing their job. I don't know if the salary cap can still accomodate but if they really need to improve, they should trade DLO, actually they should have done that before the trade deadline, they could have a more reliable shooter now.
I don't know why the Lakers management broke the 2020 bubble Lakers roster because that's the best one that I've seen with Dwight Howard as the center. He likes to bully ball Jokic underneath the rim and it was so effective as Jokic stats was down big.
Yeah, they badly need a better pointguard but they also need sharpshooters, those who can really contribute in high pressure games like this one. DLo is good when he gets hot so he is more of a shooting guard. Wait for the ball to get in his hands and shoot.
I think the Lakers might just win one game as Coach Malone may try to restrict the minutes of Jamal and Jokic in game 4 and then end it in Game 5 with a fresh stamina in their homecourt.

Dwight Howard is too old to run up and down an nba court.  It's not like anyone else has him rostered either.  We are 4 years off that bubble season.  What a weird playoffs with barely anyone in the stands.  Felt more like some preseason exhibition tournament than an actual finals.  With no hoke or away court advantage I'm not sure I fully recognize that Lakers championship.

He did played in Asia league right? So I don't think he is too old to run or even grab a rebound. You can watch the highlights of his stint and he can still dunk the ball. And I think he was been considered by the Lakers.

Unfortunately, teams right now that don't have legitimate center like the Lakers or the Warriors or even doesn't have a point guard like the Suns are not doing good. With that we still need coverage inside, like what Joel Embiid is doing and Jokic.

News update for the fans of boxing and mixed martial arts together.

According to Sugar Sean O'Malley, boxing against Ryan Garcia is not an impossible occurrence. We have witnessed uncle Dana mention before that he does not like to promote something similar to Conor vs. Money Mayweather anymore. He did not tell everyone his reasons. I speculate this is because uncle Dana certainly knows that his UFC fighters will be defeated and become the jokes of the internet again hehehehehh.

Going to be a mismatch if this fight is going to happen, obviously it will be boxing rules so Sugar Sean is at a disadvantage. Everyone is now calling Ryan or at least Ryan is looking for big names at 147 lbs. And I don't think that Dana will allow this cross over fights, no Ngannou scenario again, MMA fighters getting knockout.

Oscar said that they can do a catchweight of Tank, but he can fight full at 147-154 lbs. Romero is out of the pictures already as per Oscar.

So everything is going on Ryan's way right now, for Haney, needs to take this year off and get a tune up fight next year. No immediate rematch for him.

I very much agree. King Ry will certainly knockout Sugar Sean and put him on the stretcher. I reckon we will know if uncle Dana cares for his fighters or if he only wants to take money from them if he allows or not allows Sugar Sean in boxing. If he allows this, we can be quite certain that uncle Dana is only there for money.

@Dave1. Are they rapping? It appears that they are having a rap battle, Jay Z vs. Kanye hehehehee. They are sprinkling their saliva, give them water.

I speculate that Bill Haney knows that his son's only chance to become a popular boxer again is a victory against Tank Davis. Who can Devin Haney fight that can have good revenue on payperviews? There is no one, I reckon. This might be the beginning of a challenge by Haney's team.

Lol, not sure, it seems that Bill Haney is on the offensive on that video and says that Floyd's record is nothing eventhough he is undefeated. But Bill doesn't want any of Tank Davis as there are videos of him saying to that effect.

He might have to take this year and yes, enjoy the time with his family before making any move at 140 lbs. Maybe a fight with Teo Lopez or any other champion like Pitbull Cruz might save his career if he wins.
176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Israil Madrimov vs Terrence Crawford on: April 26, 2024, 09:06:44 AM
It is a legacy bout for Terrence Crawford and he can fulfill his dream of adding records to his career by becoming a champion in a heavier division this is his way of proving that he is the best pound-per-pound boxer in the world. I want to witness him taking those huge challenges to become the next champion and also a possible unified champion because of how strong and skillful knockout artist he is. Also, I would like to watch Isaac Cruz get back to the ring to fight again since Mini-Tyson is getting popular nowadays due to his peekaboo style which has some similarities with Mike.

This is a good fight for Terrence Crawford, new set of challenge and so another belt will he is, here is the highlight of Madrimov vs Kurbanov

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiQ4ko1yciM

You'll the judge if he has a chance against Crawford or not. But for me, Crawford is still in his prime and so I doubt that the style of tools Madrimov have is enough to defeat even if this is 154 lbs. So good choice of Crawford to fight him, just like when Manny is going up in weight, careful match making of the champion and then Manny will just walk down the champion and annexed their belt.

This is a very sad day for Bitcoin privacy advocates. Kruw, some of your fellow developers were arrested, move on for today. Debate again tomorrow.

I opened an issue to have a warning displayed to users about the data they are leaking, Samourai closed it and later deleted it: https://web.archive.org/web/20230417145554/https://code.samourai.io/wallet/samourai-wallet-android/-/issues/458

I've spent an enormous amount of time warning people about the risks involved with this exact outcome. Now whatever data Samourai had is within arms reach of the Feds.

Your prediction will surely come through op,  but it will not going to be this year if you have visited the market this year because the price is still around $63k, which it will be difficult for the price to jump to $200k in this year, well that is your prediction because anything can happen in the market for someone prediction to come to reality.

I would have agree with your prediction, assume you mentioned 2030 because I know that the price of BTC will hit $200k before the end of 2030 because the price has break into a new ATH this year, that made hodlers to rejoice because that is the first time seeing the price hit $73k over some years now.

If you want to be part of that amount you predicted in this trend, you can start saving some money from your working place so that you can buy when the bear run come and hodl till the price hit $200k before you can sell.

For the bull cycle, maybe we can get to close to $200k, as there are predictions like $150k-$180k. But there are a lot of factors to consider here, like the war in the background and some other negative news that might impact the market to reach that high.

Anyhow, almost week after the halving, fees are back to normal or at least not that high as compare during the halving itself, pretty much the market has settled down. So still time to accumulate and see if the conditions next year will improved and as so we can at least see 6 digits this bull run.
179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 26, 2024, 05:56:36 AM
And they got destroyed again by Nuggets in the late game. This is always the problem of Lakers when it comes to dealing with Nuggets. They can’t find a way to lock down Jokic being pesky with his assist and attack in the inside once Lakers defenders was focused to the perimeter shots of Nuggets.

This will be a back 2 back playoffs sweep for Lakers made by Nuggets if ever they lose the game 4 which is highly possible considering how they can’t find a way to deal with Nuggets.

It’s an end of an era for the King. I smell change team for the last time.

PS: The rebound count of Nuggets show how dominant they are on this game since all of them is making an effort to save the ball.

This was a crucial game for the Lakers, and now they have almost no chance left in this series since they lost it. The funny thing is that the Lakers played pretty solid and led after the first halves in all three games of this series against the Nuggets, but then they performed very poorly in the second halves each time, especially in the third quarter of those games. In other words, they've made the same mistake every time. Maybe it's the inexperience of the coach or something else.

Yup, the Lakers are cooked. It will be interesting to see what moves they make in the offseason. LeBron wants to renegotiate. DeAngelo is gone. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went after Klay Thompson.

Yeah, I think everyone should go including their coach and retain only Lebron and AD. Playoff Rui is not their, D'Lo 0 points, getting Dinwiddie, bad decision. They should have gotten a big man instead like Dwight to be able to contend with Jokic.

Embiid’s performance tonight is even more impressive now that he has revealed he is playing while being treated for Bell’s Palsy.

Oh, that's why I've seen a post when Embiid is shooting free throws and it's obvious that he is suffering from something because his eyes and face are different as it there is a glitch. Hopefully he will be ok as they were able to climb back today.

Do you have favorite gaming strategies? Are there any effective approaches you know of that can be used in different games?

Luck based games doesn't entails strategy at all, obviously, it's either you are a lucky or not simply as that. In some card games let's say baccarat, other uses martingale system, but it's a disaster if you experience successive loses and you need to have a deep and bigger capital just to break even.

And with that, I doubt that you will have effective strategies, sooner or later the house edge are going to catch up with you. But if you ever found one and you win money, then it's better to quit early.
