161  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: May 24, 2024, 07:47:36 AM
So this comes from a well know source, so I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe they are doing their due diligence to test it the right way and make sure that it is not contaminated whatsoever because their decision are going to be very important to the boxing world.

With that, we need to wait further and see if Ryan's is going to be exonerated or not as there are already a trial by publicity here and he has been labeled as a cheater by some boxers.

As per Dan Rafael's post, Ryan Garcia's B sample was still positive for the banned PED Ostarine. I do think that this post is from a reliable source as Dan Rafael was also the one divulging on the A sample being positive.

With this development, what could be the sanctions of the governing bodies to Ryan Garcia? Could he be banned from boxing on his entire life?

I am very sad and also very much disappointed on this. King Ry, similar to the scammer Tank, might also be a scammer. What does this imply for Devin Haney? This does not cause his strong boxing image before his loss to return unless he makes the decision to start challenging the other champions in his weight division beginning with Pitbull, later challenge Matias then the final challenge against Teo.

In any case, King Ry's legal team is arguing that there might be a contamination.



Garcia's legal team responded to the claims by stating independent hair-sample analysis came back negative, which would indicate contamination rather than long-term use.

That is a very brave prediction of yours hehehe. I will also offer a brave prediction. I predict Islam Makhachev will win against Dustin Poirier very much similar to Khabib and this will be with a rear naked choke hehe.

In any case, I wish @Saint-loup will not see this prediction because he might again challenge me to bet against him and I will again be forced to be brave heheheheeh. This might become another donation for him. However, yes it will be a rear naked choke.
You've called me?  Grin  Last time you've bet against me, you didn't lose, you didn't win either, nobody won unfortunately actually IIRC.
How much do you want to bet?  Which odds do you propose?

Hehehehehe I did not expect for you to see this heehehhee.



However, I cannot be very certain how much odds I can propose to you because there are many types of submission technics in mixed martial arts. The rear naked choke is only one of them. If I propose something, you might tell me that I am being unfair. Also, Islam can also win with a knockout punch or a technical knockout.

It appears that I cannot be brave for you hehehehe.

Does anyone have news updates on the SEC's wells against Uniswap after what appears to be a uturn of the Biden administration's war on the cryptospace?

It appears that there might be nothing for uncle Gary on this case. Similar to the precedent on Ripple's case, the tokens by themselves that were listed and offered directly on a secondary market in Uniswap are not an investment contracts that will not pass the Howey test.

164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Price Predictions? Predict the new ATH! on: May 24, 2024, 04:51:40 AM
@Bureau. I reckon that after the approval of the ETF, we can be quite certain that institutional investors from traditional finance will begin twapping on Ethereum and take the new all time high for this to more than $20k. However, there is another man who might have more on his roadmap that will make Ethereum the blockchain for traditional global finance, for real world asset tokenization and the new internet platform for new financial applications. This man's name is Larry Fink the new mayor of Bitcoin.

165  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: After Bitcoin spot ETF, there is Ethereum spot ETF on: May 24, 2024, 04:33:30 AM
19b-4 filings were approved just an hour or so ago.

If the S-1 filings are approved (can take weeks still), this will make the US the fourth country to have spot Ethereum ETFs, after Brazil, the UK (Bermuda), and China (Hong Kong).

Price is quiet until now, but somewhat of a pump occurred today earlier, when the SEC had already given clear hints that the approval was coming soon. I think however the ETH price in Bitcoin and the dominance could go up to 2023 levels (dominance of around 20% and BTC price of 0.006 approximately, which would be around $4000 at current Bitcoin prices). The reason for this prediction is that the ETH ETF approval means that the field would be "leveled" again between BTC and ETH as it was before the Bitcoin ETF approvals, but then Bitcoin was able to take some advantage since January which caused the dip below 0.005 in ETH/BTC price.

The 2021 ATH is however still relatively distant, at approximately $4880. I think if Bitcoin breaks its own ATH and goes over $75000, then also an ETH ATH is possible relatively soon.

I was very much mistaken hehe. My prediction was uncle Gary would postpone approval similar to what he has done on bitcoin. However, it appears that according to some rumors on social media, the Democrats are beginning to have a procrypto agenda because Trump has become more popular caused by his procrypto statements in his speeches. This is headshaking because the cryptospace has become a political theatre for collecting votes for the presidential election on November hehehe.

Never heard about them...here is one of the many positive aspects of not using social networks or time waster Roll Eyes

I had seen posts about bitboy on some telegram groups but I didn't think it was something with followers and a certain "frequency".

if they are intended as "fun" and not "sports" matches, they have a point in existing... otherwise it just becomes a way to ridicule a sport, and this Is not fun anymore Sad

Hehe it depends on how you use social media and who you are following. However, social media is always certainly good for the latest news updates and articles.

On Nic Carter he is a very intelligent investor and he knows much about bitcoin. He has good understanding and opinions on this. On David Hoffman he is a cohost on Bankless podcast and he is an Ethereum maximalist hehehe. I speculate that Nic and David had a high temper argument on social media and they have made the decision to settle this argument with a fight under full contact karate rules on May 30 heheheheee.
167  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Number of new Bitcoin wallets drops to lowest level since 2018 on: May 23, 2024, 12:35:58 AM
Price-wise it is OK to be bullish because bitcoin is a deflationary asset but adoption-wise, it is kind of concerning. We have already seen Litecoin beating Bitcoin on bitpay stats and that happened 5 months consecutively. I don't think the stats for May will be much different. People simply don't use bitcoin for payments anymore and it is not people's fault, they simply can't use it because of the high fees and that's why they are using something else. In this situation, it happens to be litecoin.


https://bitpay.com/stats/

Maybe it is better this way. If people want to make payments, they can choose an alt and there are no shortage of good, cheap & fast altcoins. Litecoin, Dogecoin, XMR and even bcash is not that bad if you want to pay cheap tx fees. People who want to get digital gold, they'll get bitcoin.

However, if everyone considers where the bitcoin community and much of the toxic maximalists are taking bitcoin, this should certainly be expected, I reckon. They do not want a medium of exchange, only HODL. They want a store of value and it appears that they presently are beginning to have a store of value. Also, not only a store of value, they also have a speculative investment hehehehe.
168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: After Bitcoin spot ETF, there is Ethereum spot ETF on: May 22, 2024, 05:57:27 AM
It is only 2 days before uncle Gary's decision on the spot ETF for Ethereum hehehhe. It also appears that the rumors that an approval will occur in increasing. Polymarket has increased the possibility that it might be approved from 10% to 61%. I am not quite certain how these markets are accurate, however, if there is much money behind this then these bettors might be serious on this.

https://polymarket.com/event/ethereum-etf-approved-by-may-31/ethereum-etf-approved-by-may-31?tid=1716255934738
We should also not forget this tweet.

https://x.com/JSeyff/status/1792636774067413502

Eric and James, who are well-known ETF analysts, made a tweet a few hours ago showing & increasing their prediction on the chance of ETF approval to 75%, which was also announced on Bloomberg.
 
A few hours after the news was speculated, we started seeing the turn-up on the market. Eth already crossed $3700 from $3100, which it was trading earlier, and Bitcoin hit $71,000+, and we are still counting other alts that were also not left out.
 
I just hope this pump doesn't stop half way or the market takes another turn immediately after the ETH approval, just like what happens with Bitcoin.

75% is very high and this is almost a certainty if Eric and James increased this by 3x from their original estimations. The prediction market in Polymarket has also increased to 69% from 61%. We can presently be certain that we will witness another pump after approval or a dump of disappointment after rejection or postponement heheheh.

In any case, agreed! I also wish this pump will not stop! If uncle Gary rejects this or postpones, I wish all of the Democratic candidates will lose on November!
169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everything you wanted to know about Grayscale BTC Trust but were afraid to ask! on: May 22, 2024, 05:23:29 AM
News update. The CEO of Grayscale Michael Sonnenshein has resigned. It appears the cause of this might be because of his mistake of not quickly decreasing their fees to the more competitive rates on the ETF market after the approval? The expensive fees might have also been the cause of the big outflows from GBTC. Michael Sonnenshein will be replaced by Peter Mintzberg from Goldman Sachs. He was congratulated by Barry Silbet which might also imply that this is his decision.



Grayscale Investments, one of the world’s largest crypto asset management firms, has appointed Peter Mintzberg as its new chief effective officer, effective August 15, 2024.

Mintzberg, a seasoned strategist with over twenty years in asset management, will also join Grayscale’s Board of Directors.

Previously, Mintzberg held the position of global head of strategy for asset and wealth management at Goldman Sachs and has served in leadership roles at BlackRock, OppenheimerFunds, and Invesco.

I reckon if you do not know these names then it appears that you either do not care for the news around the cryptospace or you have not been following the cryptospace very much closely.

In any case, after Bitboy's victory we have another crypto influencer fight between Nic Carter and Bankless cohost David Hoffman hehehehe. This will be on May 30 in Austin Texas where the next Consensus crypto conference will occur.

You can bet on Polymarket.

https://polymarket.com/event/nic-carter-vs-david-hoffman-Fight?tid=1716350519171

Also, these influencer fights are not done randomly. This is an agreement to fight between 2 influencers who hate each other on social media heheheheheh.
171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing, the Trump pump is beginning on: May 22, 2024, 02:22:07 AM
@legiteum. It appears that bitcoin and the whole of the cryptospace might pump more than 500% under the Biden administration if he signs the bill that will repeal SAB121. This SAB121 that was imposed by uncle Gary is an accounting rule that would force centralized custodians to include the cryptocoins under their custody as liabilities in their balance sheets. I am not quote certain how difficult this will be on the custodians, however, it appears that they are against this.

The bill to repeal this will be on Biden's desk to be signed and created into law or he might veto this. I reckon this might be a signal if Joe Biden has changed to procrypto or if he continues to be anticrypto. The deadline for this is on May 28.

@OcTradism. On Conor's fight vs. Michael Chandler on June 29, I reckon there might be a promotion where Duelbits might offer everyone to bet for a knockout victory for Conor and if the bet is a loss, you will be given your money back hehehe. I predict Conor might knockout Chandler on round 2.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 21, 2024, 03:50:28 AM
I will leave my predictions here:

Makhachev will lose, if he doesn't lose Dustin will show the way on how to defeat him and in his next fight Makhachev loses.

Strickland beats Paulo by knockout, the judges won't need to decide this one.

That is a very brave prediction of yours hehehe. I will also offer a brave prediction. I predict Islam Makhachev will win against Dustin Poirier very much similar to Khabib and this will be with a rear naked choke hehe.

In any case, I wish @Saint-loup will not see this prediction because he might again challenge me to bet against him and I will again be forced to be brave heheheheeh. This might become another donation for him. However, yes it will be a rear naked choke.
174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing, the Trump pump is beginning on: May 21, 2024, 02:50:26 AM
On the Democrats and the cryptospace, there are people on social media that are beginning to speculate that the Democrats are retreating on their anticrypto agenda. It also appears that this might begin on the approval of the ETF for Ethereum. The decision on approval or rejection will be on May 23.

On uncle Gary's decision, I have predicted that it will be another postponement or a rejection. However, the pump on the market might be telling be that I might be wrong hehehe.

176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Number of new Bitcoin wallets drops to lowest level since 2018 on: May 20, 2024, 04:45:15 AM
Everyone is beginning to be bearish hehehehe but this article cannot be more bullish, I reckon. New wallets and onchain volume might be down, however, the price of bitcoin has not dumped on our faces. How strong would bitcoin pump again when new investors arrive through the ETF and from retail investors? They will return and new projects created on bitcoin will make this a certainty.



Six months ago, excitement around spot Bitcoin ETFs, developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem such as Ordinals, and the upcoming halving drove the average weekly number of new Bitcoin addresses to approach its highest levels since its all-time high value in December 2017.

Yet six months on, just like in early 2018, the number of new addresses joining the network has cratered as the fervor around new Bitcoin projects dies down.

Other related metrics were down as well including, critically, miner revenue as measured by hash rate, which has also fallen to record lows. Transaction fees on the network are also down, as well as on-chain volume metrics.

177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: A new type of shills similar to ICO scammers, this is called Key Opinion Leaders on: May 20, 2024, 03:34:46 AM
Aren't "Key Opinion Leaders" just influencers under a difference name? That seems to be the case, to me.

I would never trust any influencer, no matter what they say or do. They only have one agenda: to make money from promoting something. You cannot really put your trust into someone like that.

Yes, they are people who have many followers in social media which make it appear that they have good opinions on different occurrences and on the direction on where the cryptospace goes. However, they are only people chosen by the project and given an allocation of tokens with a cheaper price which will be on 2x or more on listing on CEX or DEX. This is very much similar to the ICO scams again.

Also, there are people who have gotten an allocation of tokens before the influencers, these are the venture capitalists! What are the biggest funded projects in the cryptospace that are new and that have not released a token? These projects might become the biggest scammers on 2025 or 2026.

@LogitechMouse. I am not very optimistic on Tyson Fury's chance of having the victory on this immediate rematch on October. He was knocked down by Usyk who is smaller and who does not have much power on his punches? Also, why did Tyson stop the uppercuts to the body? It was beginning to disrupt Usyk on round 7! Yes, this result of this was quite a shock and also certainly a disappointment for the fans of Mike Tyson Fury!
179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK 18th MAY 2024 re-scheduled on: May 18, 2024, 06:21:22 AM
It appears that the Tyson Fury has taken his training more serious for this fight against Usyk. Did I see that there was abdominal muscles in Fury's midsection? Did these abdominal muscles appear when Fury fought Francis Ngannou? I reckon Fury appears to be more slimmer for this fight vs. Usyk than the fight against Ngannou hehehe. I predict this fight against Usyk will be a similar performance Tyson Fury has done against Wladimir Klitschko.

180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: May 18, 2024, 05:28:39 AM
@rdbase. There is another fighter in this event who also has a very good body. This is the mannish woman called Ariane Carnelossi. Her muscles are very hard and strong very much similar to Edson Barboza and much of the men. This appears to be very much similar to Kayla Harrison's muscles, I reckon. Also, she is very much underestimated by the sportsbooks henehehe.



We can be quite certain that her breakfast is dinosaur meat.
