@bisdak40. Agreed and it would be in a higher weight division where Casimero will not he overweight similar to what he has done in the bantamweight division.
In any case, what is the latest news? Is this fight only postponed or is there a chance of a cancellation? This might give a chance for Casimero to enter the show if he can challenge someone with a high rank in super bantamweight.
For now it seems that the fight is going to be scheduled sometime or until his injury is totally 100% healed.
And as I expected, it's a hand injury that he suffered during the sparring session, and if I'm not mistaken Inoue has history of this kind of injuries. Against Omar Narvaez and we all know that Inoue punches so hard, that's why it's just a matter of time before he broke his hands. Probably the same case with Canelo as well, punching so hard in the mitts, or in the actual fight causing them to have this injury. Might take time though, 3 months maybe before he can go back to sparring again and try that hand? |

It is difficult to predict the exact price of Bitcoin in the future because it is a highly volatile and unpredictable asset. However, Bitcoin's value stems from several factors, including its limited supply, decentralization, and its use as a medium of exchange. It is important to note that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and that the cryptocurrency market is highly speculative.
And it's becoming a store of value and hedge against economic crisis. It has been even a legal tender for a country already. So there's a lot of things to consider right now as to the narrative of bitcoin. In the last bear market , we don't know where the money will come, but it did push to $69k levels. Yeah, hard to predict the price, but if we have to look at the past historical logs, then we can deduce where the price will be in the next 10 years or so. Of course, one of the biggest factor is the limited supply as every 4 years we have the bitcoin block halving that is the catalyst. So it is "expected" by the next bull run, it could be around $100k-$180k. |

This may not be an exciting fight, but at least we'll get to see Casimero in action again. By keeping himself active, he'll be ready for bigger fights in the future. Although his opponent's record isn't scary, Casimero still needs to work hard in training and should not underestimate him. As we all know, upsets can happen anytime in boxing.
Hopefully, his next fight will be a championship fight. Let's watch this!
By the way, where will this fight be held?
Okada in the Philippines, a hotel casino, been there and played some, but to be honest, I'm not feeling that casino. Anyhow, going back to the fight, yes, as what we have thought, this is a tune up fight for Casimero to fight someone with the record of Nghitumbwa. But I do agree that he shouldn't take this fight lightly and be overconfident. And we wanted to see that brandish style of his again, willing to go toe to toe if needed just to get that huge knockout win. And just for the record, Casimero is now being handled by Treasure Boxing Promotion a Japanese based boxing company.  https://twitter.com/TB_PROMOTION/status/1639854524285468674 |

Trae got ejected in the third quarter because he threw the ball "to hard" to the ref, haha. How this in enough to through a player out I don't understand, these refs are getting more and more like a Karen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dXqZt5moRESomething has to change I think. LOL, it wasn't that hard, but the good thing is that they won the game. Trae Young is very important for the team, and I hope the technical fouls he committed this season won't have any effect on the playoffs. We don't want to see him getting suspended for one game because he accumulated enough technical fouls to merit a suspension. Anyhow, Denver demolished the Bucks very easy, it's the preview of what could have been the finals, but it was in the Nuggets home court so they have all the advantage. Giannis still had a good game with 31 points, but I think it was Middleton, who had a bad game. Good game for the Nuggets, the Bucks controlled the first half, but in the 3rd quarter it was all Nuggets, everyone who got on the floor played very good for the Nuggets and if they play like this, their form, their shooting and their defense, it's hard to stop them. Bucks lead at the top is now just 2 games behind the Celtics, so if the fight for the playoff spot in the West is close for the 8th to down position, I think it's also interesting how the Celtics and the Bucks will end up as well in the top in the East. Philly losing 2 games now could have also had an impact, if they won those two, it will be obviously closer as well. Lakers vs the Bulls right now, the Bulls had a big lead, they might have to spoil Lebron James comeback game here. |

I live in Australia and we have no taxes on all gambling winnings (lottery, hose racing, sports betting and casinos).
I know the USA has gambling taxes and I think it's ridiculous.
You are risking your own money and if you win you are penalised.
I'm curious as to how many other users have to pay taxes on their winnings.
As far as I know, here in the Philippines, gambling winnings are not tax, and it was only the casinos and other gambling franchises are tax here, so I guess we are just lucky. But if I'm not mistaken, government as well is looking for online games to be tax, so let's see. But I with you with those ridiculous taxes imposed by USA or any other country for that matter. I mean you bet and you win big, but the government will have a cut on it? not fair for us gamblers. But it is what it is for some of us here, they will have to pay tax so that they can continue with their gambling activity. |

Just as i speculated, David Benavidez won the fight via unanimous decision (115-113, 116-112, 117-111).
Lucky for Plant that David started the fight slow as he compiled points but at the end, he seemed lost all the stamina but still kudos to him that even though he absorbed all the power punches in championship rounds, he was still standing.
I don't know mate, Plant took too much damage in this fight, if I'm the trainer, I could have raised the white flag here and stop the fight. Plant doesn't deserved to be punished here by David's power, he could be LHW in this fight. And with the damage he took, it could have taken a lot from here though and might not be the same fighter next, just saying. And as I have said, after the fight they are going to huge and bury their hatchet for good. Yeah, the beef might be true and personal, but at the end of the day, after the fight, they will have to forget about it and move on with their careers, specially Plant. They have settled it, bring everything in the table, but unfortunately, there's only one fighter, one winner here and that is David Benavidez. Edit: On my unofficial scorecard, David winning 116-112. |

Generally, Asia is more accepting of Bitcoin. In general, I could think of a couple of things why. - Asia has been technologically advanced in recent years
- Lack of trust in Banks
- Transferring money has become easier
That is the current trend in the world, and Asia is at the front of it. I think it will continue in the next decade and hope it will rise in price. I don't think it is only Asia who is buying and pushing the bitcoin price to nearly 28,000$ (as of this writing). People all over the world have realized in the recent past how unreliable is the whole banking sector and the only thing which can protect their capital is bitcoin. Sooner or later the US will again start the Dollar Printer and inflation will be out of control. I think mankind has discovered the best store of value in the form of bitcoin. I think his point is that Asia has a lot of bad experience in the past as compare to the West and even EU that a slight change and disrupt in financial systems, they are going to look for alternatives and other option to hedge their wealth. So obviously, bitcoin is really the best alternatives for now, there could be others though, but I guess Asia is deep into Bitcoin as we all know of it. Majority of the countries are friendlies, China used to be the biggest miners, they have the monopoly, well Japan and South Korea is not far behind. And there are South East Asian countries that are also on the front, like Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong as well heavily invested on BTC. |

I think they are a waste of time & do nothing constructive. I think it’s trolling, filling up blocks with crap. I don’t think they have any future as a means of trade, money orientated. Nobody who is serious about bitcoin wants anything to do with them.
They are one reason why the network has been clogging for the last couple of months. To be honest, I haven't heard of it until I research and see what causing this huge fee to increased in bitcoin network whereas it was relatively cheap already. And with that, yeah, I agree 100%, it's just a waste of time and it has nothing to bring in bitcoin. We have threads about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5444666.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437787.0 |

And here is the weigh in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR4Xe7PT_24Caleb laying his hands on David's face, hehehe, very intense face off and so they have to be separated as it can go on a full brawl by both camps. Both make the weight, obviously Caleb is more dry and so he is cut, not bad for David though, showing some abs muscle as well. So this going to be explosive fight as they genuinely hate each other and wanted to take each other heads off in this fight. Must watch for us boxing fans here and make sure you put your bets already. If that laying of hand on David's face was part of the marketing of this fight then it was a success hehe. I think the hatred towards each other seems real to me and for sure I'm going to bet and watch this fight as this would be my first time watching David fight live.  My take is that this fight would go the distance and that over 9.5 @1.87 looks juicy to me and is definitely my bet but I'm also throwing some bucks with Benavidez via decision @3.95. I'm sure that Canelo will be watching this fight as he wants to witness how David will dismantle Caleb here. David Sr prediction though that this fight will last 8th-9th rounds and his son going to stop Plant by knockout hehehe. Bold prediction by Sr but that's what exactly the bookies are, as far as the over and under rounds David is still a huge favorite, he had all the advantage here except for the experience. Yeah, for sure Canelo is going to observed the fight specially Plant and see if that power is real or if there is a potential weaknesses because he might face David in the next couple of years. I doubt the fight can be made this year though if Canelo is interested, he is more looking for a Bivol rematch at 175 lbs. And I don't think this is personal though, at the end of the fight, whoever wins, will show mutual respect to each other. That's how this sport is, and will be, everything is to sell the fight and to just motivated themselves against each other by trash talking. I already locked the voting as well and this is the final results:  Majority thinks that Benavidez will win by KO/TKO. |

Back over months is reddish, I could hardly think about bitcoin as anything good soon but it seem like there will be positive green movement this mid of the year coming. Bitcoin can never be overrated sometimes it will destroys your feelings, sometimes it will bring excited, dudes, is been a while we reap the juicy part of bitcoin. 3 days now is looking greenish with improvement I hope the pump starts soon enough, this green looks real positive
There has been progress in particular this month in bitcoin, the price point is more concentrated on the green line and although it looks a bit of a correction. If true regarding the bank crisis in America as it was and should be it will be better for bitcoin. As much as we don't want that banking is failing right now, we are indeed the beneficiary and the big winner right now. People are looking for a assets that can hold their wealth against inflation and bitcoin is the right asset for that. Just imagine putting your wealth on it, and just wait for a couple of years and it will grow massively as compare to putting your money on that bank will low interest rates. Just do that math. The bullish market may not last until the end and the beginning of the next month, but we are starting to believe that there is a positive increase in bitcoin, so from now on we are even more excited to see its development. The bullish market momentum should have signaled an accumulation process towards the next ATH journey next year and hope this is the first step towards a new price perfection next year.
Prices even in stocks tend to slide from time to time, there is no asset that we know that can grow parabolic in prices. Sooner or later there will be a time that investors sold for whatever reason they have it could be in the bear market or most likely in a bull state because they are going to take profits. |

It's already 2023, no one gives a **** as to who Satoshi is, the chances of him being identified could have been better in the early days of bitcoin. But after more than 10 years and yet people don't know who Satoshi is, I doubt that we will find him in the next 10 years. I'm not clicking that youtube link, it will just give him the exposure and the algorithm he needed to keep his channel alive because we know that Satoshi can't be identified. Sure we have all our speculations and we even have a lot of discussions here in the community. But there is no smoking gun as to Satoshi's real identify. So sorry to say that it will be just a waste of your precious time. If there a community that can better identify him then this forum is. But you have to search it for yourself because I have said there are tons of it. |

Yeah, just 1/3 for me, the Cavs though, they need to make a huge comeback and another thriller 3 in the corner for them to win. They have the games already, but they allowed the Nets in the 4th quarter to build momentum and a good lead.
Lots of crucial games for teams that are trying to go to the playoffs:
Warriors vs Philly - I'll go with GSW -5.5 @2.01. If there is no Embiid and Harden, Warriors will take advantage of that.
Bulls vs Portland - I'm with the Bulls here, -5.5 as well with @1.93
Finally, hit both of my bets last night, Warriors allow Joel to have a monster game but check their core players. While the Bulls just steam rolled passed the B
lazers with a huge win. I didn't bet on the Hawks vs Indiana, Hawks though with a huge lead already in the middle of the 4th quarter. Nuggets vs Bucks - preview of what could be the final? I'm going with the Bucks at the road, this is going to be a big test for Giannis, ML @2.32. Doesn't want to see the Nuggets starting hot and leading double digits, the game should be close enough to see how the Bucks are going to respond. Heat vs Nets - battle for the 6th spot, Nets going to travel to FTX arena in this game. And wit that I'm taking the Heat -4.5 @1.74. Clippers vs Pels - I'll go with the Clippers at home here, -4.5 @1.88 |

2. By chance Spence lost this fight and maybe go for a rematch Hopefully if this scenario happens, Spence will be forced to risk his belt(s) Do you mean Spence will stake his belts for the rematch with Thurman if he loses here? What will be forced is, Spence will risks his belt at 147 and might possibly face Crawford although as I said previously, there might not a chance now to see Spence fighting at 147 due to some problems. I mean that's not possible since if the rematch will happened with Thurman, it will still be in 154 and his titles are all in 147. I don't know though the rules of what will happen if let's say, Spence will ask for a rematch with Thurman and if he's still eligible to do that without vacating all his titles at 147. I think that's a rare case to happen or I just missed some same scenario in boxing history. What I think is that we might see a different scenario once Thurman is able to defeat Spence at 154, there's a strong chance that the latter will ask for a rematch but since a rematch clause wasn't written on their contract (I suppose), Thurman has the choice to decline the offer if there's no belts at risks. And if a rematch won't materialize, Spence has two choices, first is he will vacate his belts at 147 and second is that he will defend his belt at 147 with a risk of facing the boxers he ducked. And this time, I think that their influence won't be used even if they wanted to because the WBC is already under criticism because of this fight. Alright, let's say Thurman won against Spence at 154, how Thurman can even demand a rematch with a risky title if, in the first place, Spence doesn't have any hold titles at 154? Not unless they will make the boxing circus again and Thurman instead will demand a rematch at 147. Anyways, as stated it seems that this fight will now again just be part of a rumor as no official negotiation happened. I wonder what's the timeline now for Spence if this match against Thurman won't be materialized. As far as I know, the negotiation for Spence vs. Crawford bout will be in process again after the fight with Thurman. And even if the first negotiations of the Spence vs Crawford fell off, there are a lot of rumors right now that they are still talking though. So I'm thinking that this might be one reasons why they can't really declare this fight officially as maybe they are waiting for the negotiations and see how it goes. Just take note that this is a rumor though so don't let get ourselves excited yet. Maybe both camp see that big fight like Garcia and Davis can be made if both camp will give an inch in the agreement. Oscar is in the middle of it, and we've seen him and Crawford in public a couple of months ago. So maybe if Oscar can make this fight and talk to every camp, it's possible too that Crawford can learn from Oscar or even get him as a middle man even for this one fight alone and then he can go solo if he wants. So let's see, if this fight happens to be sealed already then good, wait for the result and then hopet hat Spence vs Crawford can be made at least for this year. |

I don't think Canelo though is like avoiding him, it is just Benavidez at this point in his career hasn't beaten anyone to deserved a Canelo shot specially at the super middleweight wherein Canelo clean that division already. While Canelo seems to be looking to cement his legacy, Benavidez is climbing and looking for fight that will give him the biggest paycheck.
Benavidez even thinks that he can really beat Canelo at the point of his career that's why he worked hard in getting to where he is now. He's really aiming for Canelo, and that's what fueled his determination to take down Caleb Plant at the bad and worst situation as possible. Just less than a day waiting and we will now witness the fight between Benavidez and Plant main event, March 25th. True, but he says that the more Canelo is looking in other direction and doesn't want to fight him, the more he will get that needed experience under his belt. So in a sense he is correct, he is still young at 26 years old, undefeated, so there's a lot of fights in him in the future that will bring him more experience so that when the time comes to face Alvarez, that experience that he gain will be very beneficial to him. And one thing that he got is that he is the interim champion just like John Ryder, so in any case if the organizations will inform Canelo that he needs to fight the interim champion and that is David Benavidez, maybe, just maybe Canelo will do that. But we all know that this sort of mandatory fights can be bypass specially with the stature of Canelo. He can pick whoever he wants to fight with the blessings of the sanctioning bodies. |

Embiid played brilliantly and made 46 points, but there weren't many players on the team to accompany him. In the Warriors, Poole took the stage alone at the most important moments and had the most important share in the victory. If it was James Harden, this game wouldn't have ended like this. Melton and Tucker played very badly.
Looks like the Sixers will stay in 3rd place. The gap to the top 2 has widened, and the fourth-placed Cavaliers can't keep up with them. Sixers - Heat first round would be awesome.
Yeah, Embiid performed well, although it wasn't enough to beat the Warriors. Honestly, I don't think the loss in this game and the results in the remaining regular season games will be particularly important for the 76ers, as they've already guaranteed themselves a playoff spot. However, that doesn't mean Embiid should relax. Instead, he should focus more on his individual stats in the remaining games to finally win the coveted MVP award. Embiid is a beast, I love how he plays but he can't just be enough to beat a team like GSW when they play like themselves. Steph and Klay contributed good, Green was effective again, Poole was great and honestly, exceeded my expectations of him. Warriors had a bad time recently but they seem like getting back into the championship form. I have to admit that it is somehow a little bit pointless but every season, I get excited during these final weeks about the mvp race. Embiid showed that he is going to do everything he can to get it this year. But every one of the contenders deserved it this season. Even Tatum, because Celtics had a great season. Let's see if Embiid can continue his last performance in the remaining games. Draymond said that right after the game, Joel told him that he went off like that against them because Green says that Jokic is the hardest big men to guard in the NBA so Joel took offense on it and took it personal. And he really did, the Warriors defense can't stop him, Looney had a hard time bodying him up and so is Draymond. They throw everything on him and yet he scored that huge. Maybe what they really wanted to is get Joel tired in the fourth quarter and missed some shots, and that's exactly what happen in the last quarter. Last 6 minutes Joel played but he is too tired already because of the big efforts he bring in the first three quarters. So they come up short even if Joel take it "personal", hehehe. Only MJ can be motivated and be personal on players, the team or even to the coach and managed to win the game for them. |

It's true that Bitcoin's price can be volatile in the short-term, but in the long-term, it has the potential to benefit everyone. Governments may try to ban Bitcoin, but they may end up banning themselves from the benefits it offers. It's important to HODL and accumulate Bitcoin regularly, even if there are dips in the short-term. Do you have any specific questions or concerns about Bitcoin? Sounds like a bot wrote that post. Everyone and anyone should have "questions and concerns" about bitcoin, so the longer that anyone studies bitcoin, then the more likely s/he is able to understand it, and figure out the extent to which s/he wants to invest into it - including developing some strategies to accumulate bitcoin and then be able to maintain such bitcoin stash, which seems to be the premise of this thread.. Once we have already decided that it is a good idea to accumulate bitcoin and follow some kind of a bitcoin accumulation/maintenance strategy. Correct, so I will give my self as another example. Although I heard bitcoin years ago, I was not that serious, until I join and enter in 2017. That what the year wherein we reach all time high, I was not here prior, so I said to myself this is good. And then the bear market started and most of the individuals that I might have been with that time frame could have quit their job and focus more on this market (because I remember such thread early 2018, around January when we are still in the euphoric stage, I don't know what happen to those individuals though). So if by chance I also quit my job and concentrate on trading, then it's going to be very difficult for me in 2018-2020. Luckily I didn't do that, and so we all know that 2018 was very tough for those first timers like me. But I did survived and learn a valuable lesson from it, that is, the bear market is the best time to accumulate and simply HODL on it. And so when the bear market strikes last year, the last 6 months of it I'm continuing to do DCA or shall we shall still buying as much as I can, save it and then wait for the next bull run. I know it's mentally though, but that is also a character that I developed in Bitcoin investment. You really need to focus and not to be emotional just because you see your porftolio jumping 10%-20% in a day and thinking to sell some. Wait for the right time to offload your stash to maximize your profits. So as you get t he experience, you level up and become a better investor.  |

Gonna be hard to imagine our lives today and majority of us here without Bitcoin. Just imagine the early birds or early adopters who began so rich because of their investments when it was just like < $100k. Me, I'm not an early investors but I have seen the bull run and bearish market so come to the conclusion that it is one of the best investment that I did since 2017. However, it's not that anonymous though, I mean we all know that bitcoin addresses doesn't have a name, but now almost all services that relates to it has KYC already. But I guess it won't deter us from going full bitcoin mode in the next years or so because we know that the chances are high to get big profits like every 4 years by simply buying and HODLing and waiting for the bull run to happen.

So I started this thread last year and it's nearly 5 months already and there is no deal yet between Spence and Thurman? That leads to the assumption as to how hard it is to reach an agreement with Spence. First, he killed the potential undisputed fight with Crawford who's been waiting for nearly a year for nothing. Now the WBC is giving Spence the favor to fight a very popular but out of his prime opponent which includes a crazy VIP treatment of making the fight at 154. Errol Spence is getting annoying.
Now the WBO is mandating Crawford to face Rocha. I just hope the WBA and IBF will do the same since Spence seems not serious about the WBC mandatory on Thurman. I really hope Spence gets ktfo so badly in his next fight, boxing is better without him.
Yes it's been 5 months but for now there's no final announcement yet but I think if this fight will came through then it's will good as we can see that A lot of people around the world who want to watch a good and close fight and for sure these two fighter will give us . But for now it's hard to say that Spence and Thurman will fight in the ring. And about Spence then I don't think so if we really want to fight strong fighters. It really seems to me that Errol Spence Jr. is just messing with everyone else's time without any intention to make a fight happen, in a recent article that I've read about this Spence-Thurman fight, they are saying that they are targeting the fight somewhere in April but up until now there's no official announcement that a fight is indeed happening at the forecasted month. Surely they need over a month to market the fight, so it's safe to say that there will no fight happening in April. Moreover, Errol Spence Jr. is not afraid to cancel this fight because there's no belt at risk, so there will be no stripping of belts that will happen. This kind of boxer shouldn't be supported, I know he got talents but this is too much, he doesn't deserve to have belts if this is way to keep them safe. April is just around the corner, so I doubt that the target date for this fight is going to happen. And worst, we haven't heard any yet from both camp if this fight is push or not regardless of what date it is. Spence has been given by the body to not fight for the belt in the line, but to go up in 154 lbs. So he has all the privilege given to him and yet he is taking advantage of it. Although I saw some tweet that Spence vs Crawford is going to happen in June, but I think the person is just a troll so I won't post it here. |

It's mind-boggling to think that someone could keep such a significant amount of cryptocurrency on a centralized exchange and sleep soundly at night. As we all know, exchange are not safe, and we have seen a lot of exchange failures in previous years. It seems that nothing is going to change.
I guess that person might be close to SBF and trusted him so much to have that huge money of his in that exchange, or really a new comer or someone is managing that fund for himself. True, I don't think there will be changes in the future, we have seen a lot of exchanges that rag pull or collapse with person's entire savings in that exchange. And so this is just another example of it, but no one really learn their lessons isn't it. "Not your keys, not your coins", this is very true in this case. And hopefully, justice can be served here, the ongoing trial should be watch by everyone specially those individuals who have millions wipe out. |
