PPV and obviously the live gates where the money will come in, and they are guarantee to have millions already. So yes this could be one of the biggest fights for the year and who knows, could be fight of the year if both of them left their hands go and fight till they take each other's head.
And the hype is already there, all they have to do is create more drama in their face-off, which they did already and that's why the tickets have been sold already. Only contention is the PPV numbers I guess and there are a lot of speculations on how much they will get either in US or worldwide, but I think it will still be big numbers.
If they sell out the arena, they will undoubtedly make a lot of money in ticket sales. Just imagine the price of those tickets How much do tickets for Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia cost? Tickets for Davis vs. Garcia start at $729, per TicketSmarter.
Prices then range from $800, $900, $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000, $5,000, $6,000, $8,000, $10,000, and $11,731. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/boxing/news/gervonta-davis-vs-ryan-garcia-ticket-prices-las-vegas/h7dvl5lqvkxbzhtjmjb334loOnly true boxing fans would be interested in attending the fight in person. While the ticket prices may be expensive, there will undoubtedly be people willing to pay the price to witness these two great boxers face off in the ring. According to some articles, after the tickets were sold out, there were some buyers who wanted to by them for $29k. This is fight is very much hyped. I wish it will be a very good fight similar to what much of the experts have predicted. Also, the promoters should rent Las Vegas Raiders' Allegiant stadium, have a big screen and let everyone pay $100 per person to watch the fight hehehe. In any case, what Tank is telling everyone in this article might become a reality if he gets the victory. Similar storyline for King Ry, I reckon. Gervonta Davis was at a bold mood this week at the press conference for his blockbuster fight with Ryan Garcia, claiming he has taken Canelo Alvarez’ spot as the biggest star in boxing.
Clearly buoyed by that feat, the Baltimore puncher told attending media that he believes he stands alone as the biggest name in the entire sport.
“I feel as though I’m already that guy in the sport. Canelo is going out the door, all these guys. I’m the face of boxing, let’s just say that.”
After this win, it’s just me getting over the hump. If you don’t watch boxing, this is the fight to watch – for sure.”Source https://boxing-social.com/news/gervonta-davis-warns-canelo-hes-new-face-of-boxing/

It appears that Elizabeth Warren, the good senator of the Democratic party, has begun her storyline for this year. This will be to blame the cryptospace if the failure of Signature Bank will spread to other banks very much similar to the financial crisis that begun on 2007. She is presently not blaming the cryptospace directly, however, it would not be shocking if the banks will be given stricter regulations if they want to accept institutional clients from the cryptospace. Senator Warren further alleged that Signature Bank took on “excessive risk” to boost its bottom line by serving crypto clients, such as the Nasdaq-listed crypto exchange Coinbase, blockchain infrastructure platform Paxos, and collapsed crypto exchange FTX. By December last year, crypto clients accounted for about 30% of Signature Bank’s total deposits. Warren stated:
Signature Bank bought into its get-rich-quick narrative … Signature Bank was caught short because it embraced crypto customers with insufficient safeguards.
According to Bloomberg, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) were already investigating Signature Bank’s work with cryptocurrency clients before regulators took possession of the bank last Sunday.Read in full https://news.bitcoin.com/us-senator-signature-bank-collapsed-because-it-embraced-crypto-customers-without-sufficient-safeguards/

What will happened to those who use the mixer previously. Is there a chance that my Bitcoin will be connected by Bitcoin use from money laundering or we are still safe? I use Chipmixer every week to mix my coins. It’s sad to read this bad news. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) Agreed. This is very much similar to how the government has arrested Tornado Cash's developer for creating a tool to protect someone's anonymity and privacy. I reckon if a car was used by a criminal to kidnap someone, the government cannot arrest the car company or if a cellphone was used as detonator for a car bomb that killed hundreds of people, the government cannot arrest the cellphone company. And yet, in the case of Tornado Cash, hundreds of millions worth of different coins linked to the mixer in one way or another were frozen. This was generally a blanket move. This wasn't just done selectively to suspicious wallets and addresses. This included funds of innocent and unsuspecting Tornado Cash users. However, the argument remains the same. The government does not have the right to arrest the creator of the knife if his creation was used to murder someone. The government should arrest the murderer. I am shaking my head why there are some people who argue that the arrest and detention is acceptable because it is not.

If he will manage to take this one away from the monster, it is surely a good start to move up and challenge the current champ on his chosen division. Actually, I want to see Stephen Fulton having a rematch with a much-improved Brandon Figueroa in the 126 after this match against Naoya Inoue. I'm sure Fulton won't bother to stay at 122 anymore regardless of the result of this match as that was already his original plan and it's just timing that Inoue decided to move up. I also think Fulton is not considering having possibility of a unification match against his fellow title holder at 122 lbs, Murodjon Akhmadaliev which has a scheduled title defense against a Filipino, Marlon Tapales next month. He is surely want to moved up weight no matter what. Can't wait to see the result of this match and how it will change the current phase of the Super Bantamweight division. If Stephen Fulton loses against Naoya Inoue, it might not be good timing for him because Figueroa won recently vs. Mark Magsayo for the WBC featherweight interim championship. Fulton should win 1 fight in featherweight before he can argue for a challenge against Figueroa. Has anyone created a thread for Murodjon Akhmadaliev vs. Marlon Tapales already? We should watch this next fight of Inoue's next opponent after Fulton hehehe.

This is true, there are some casinos out there which when one of their gamblers obtains a big win they try to find even the smallest detail they can to try to refuse paying the money they owe, and one way to do this is by asking way more than what is needed for a standard identity verification, with the hope the gambler fails to provide the needed documents and then they save themselves a lot of money while still protecting their reputation, as they can later claim it was the gambler the one that failed to pass all their tests and they were justified on their refusal to pay them.
In such casinos, players simply will not play. All players play at the casino only in the hope of a big win, but if they know that they will not be able to withdraw their winnings anyway, they will not play at this casino. They will go to another casino. If only things were that simple, what you are saying makes sense but unfortunately this is not the way things work, and we have a very obvious example with the 1xbit casino, this casino is widely regarded on this forum as one in which no gambler should ever play if they want to someday get some of their money back, but people ignore our warnings or are not aware of the existence of this forum and they keep gambling there despite their negative reputation. However, do you not reckon that in many occurences when the winner is a new account that has not yet passed all the KYC requirements, the casino should be very careful in giving a very big win without carefully checking all the details of the person? If it is an old account that has been gambling in the casino for years, there would certainly be a good argument.

If CZ was indeed serious and genuinly wanted to protect his users he would put the whole 1 billion USD into bitcoin only and not spread it across two other altcoins. And miss an opportunity to pump his centralized BNB coin? The fact that he even puts BNB in the same category as bitcoin is laughable. BNB is just as centralized and just as risky as BUSD. I made a similar reply but only jokingly hehehe. However, my serious reply is I speculate that CZ might not pump the coins that he mentioned. I reckon it would be a more careful decision for him to wait when Bitcoin, Ethereum and Binance smartchain have gone down after a pump. He announced his intention already. If he pumps this, there will certainly be whales who will buy before him and dump on him.

I will quote some important things from here: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1574581/downloadAs explained further below, NGUYEN used the moniker “ChipMixer” on the popular bitcoin message board BitcoinTalk (available at bitcointalk.org). On May 18, 2017, NGUYEN, as “ChipMixer,” posted (or caused to be posted) to BitcoinTalk that he was looking for testers for a new bitcoin mixing service. On May 26, 2017, NGUYEN announced in a new thread that he was “Introducing ChipMixer,” which he described as “Mixing reinvented for your privacy.” Since then, “ChipMixer” has made over 400 posts to BitcoinTalk, the majority of which involve addressing questions about ChipMixer. As of March 2023, NGUYEN’s “ChipMixer” account was still active on BitcoinTalk. Further, since May 15, 2017, NGUYEN Does this imply that there are government agents who are reading our posts and following some accounts who might be a danger to society hehehee?

@ChiBitCTy. The Jets might do better if they traded for someone else. Aaron Rodgers will be 40 years old and his performance were not very good much of the games I remember. However, if the Jets are not seaching for a quarterback that would bring them to the post season, Rodgers might be their quarterback hehe.
@DireWolfM14. However if the 49ers trade and have Lamar in their team, would you say that he can increase the odds for San Francisco to win a superbowl?

@Rikafip. I reckon CZ might be holding much of this $1 billion in bitcoin because it has the most volume and also has much of the liquidity in the market. However, the skeptical me thinks that if he pumps bitcoin he cannot ignore his own Binance smartchain and because of this he might get criticism, so he needs also to include Ethereum in his list heheheheh.

It's not today's news, it was 2 days ago news, there was even a related discussion about it on this forum a day ago.
Still, I guess I missed the other thread and I'm kinda glad OP started up this one. Wasn't NY supposed to be the new "crypto capitol" a while back? There was somebody who was even going to rent an entire block and try to turn it into a bunch of bitcoin-related businesses. Whatever their status is, the state's actions speak loud and clear that they're very much pro-regulation, and I'd say they're going too hard with this one. Not surprising I guess, since NY was one of the first states to be on Binance's blacklist, and you can't even use instant exchanges like ShapeShift if your IP is from New York (are they even still around?). I'm giving two middle fingers to the Empire State, and no offense to DaveF or anyone else who lives there who might be reading this. It was only assumed to be the crypto capitol because everyone also speculated that what regulations the state of New York might create, the other states might follow. It did not occur as speculated, however. What really occurred was New York was only isolated from the cryptospace and it appears that the Biden administration also wants to isolate the whole country. This is head shaking because much of the protocols that are being created in the cryptospace Defi category have the quality of avoiding regulations hehe.

I generally don't agree with Academy when it comes to Best Picture winners (looking back at the last ~15 years, the only time I actually agreed with them was Nomadland), this is the first time I disliked the winner so much I couldn't even finish it and probably won't even give it a 2nd chance. Kudos to Everything Everywhere All at Once though, not an easy feat to win 7 Oscars, especially not for movie with smaller production. Biggest surprise for me was that The Banshees of Inisherin didn't win a single Oscar. While I knew that Colin Farrell beating Brendan Fraser is unlikely (even though i preferrede Colin's performance), I still hoped for at least for Best Original Screenplay but I guess since movie didn't have any woke bs, chances to win anything were slim to none. Needless to say I failed miserably at betting because I went for those who I though should win, not for those who I thought would probably win. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) It appears the Oscars have been looking for movies with happy endings for 2 years. It might be because of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and other negative news. However, I speculate that Russia's invasion of Ukraine will not be avoidable and the threat of a nuclear war will be the biggest storyline in mainstream news media. On account of this, my next bet for best picture for the next Oscar awards is Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan who will be my bet for best director. Hollywood will be on the nuclear war fear agenda hehehehee.

@ChiBitCTy. Aaron Rodgers will not go to the Las Vegas Raiders? I always speculated that Las Vegas would be his next team after the Raiders traded for Davante Adams. They might need that type of partnership to bring them to the post season. Also, it appears Lamar trade to the 49ers speculation is growing. This does not imply that it will be an effortless negotiation, however. Then you have Lamar Jackson. The Baltimore Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on the former NFL MVP, giving them the right to match any offer from an interested team.
Kawakami believes the 49ers are (or were) intrigued by the possibility. At the very least, they probably haven't dismissed the idea, and the writer doesn't believe they should.
"I checked around myself on Wednesday and was told that the 49ers are looking at everything, as always," Kawakami wrote.
He notes that the 49ers were not included in a list of organizations seemingly ruled out of a potential Jackson sweepstakes—teams like the Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Commanders, and Miami Dolphins.Source https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/167559-kawakami-lamar-jackson-49ers-would-nfl-defensive-coordinators/

Also, CZ should start asking for assistance from his backers from China.
Because you mentioned China here,is it possible that what Binance is experiencing is some government stretching it's invisible handle to try and send a message to its other counterpart... Something we have seen in the Huawei China trade war. And of all exchanges why are other exchanges delisting Binance assets when they too have their utility tokens listed on other exchanges, and btw Coinbase isn't the first to do this either,there is a long list of exchanges delisting them. I very much agree that there is someone who is sending CZ a message and it might be someone from the American government or from the American side of the cryptospace industry. It might be the backers of Sam Bankrupt-Fraud from the Democratic party hehe? CZ was the one who triggered the liquidity cascade for Alameda Research's loans backed by FTT as collateral and this also brought down FTX. Someone might want revenge against CZ hehehe.

Agreed that this might only be a drop in a bucket. It might also be more safer for CZ to buy when they ha e went down already instead of being the cause of the beginning of the pump himself. In any case, Jim Cramer again is telling everyone to sell their bitcoin hehehe. Everyone has noticed that bitcoin pumps everytime his advice tells us to dump. There are some people starting to joke in social media that the Inverse Cramer ETF is presently becoming a substitute for a bitcoin ETF heheheehhe.

So, the May 20 date is final per the article i've read and this will be held in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that their 12-round, 135-pound championship match will be held at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Their fight for Haney’s IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO lightweight titles will headline an ESPN Pay-Per-View show that night.
This is another fight where there are 2 very good fighters that will bring the sport of boxing back going forward again very much similar to Tank vs. King Ry and Inuoe vs. Fulton. Terence Crawford and Errol Spence has been a disappointment for the fans. They should learn from the example of Tank and Ryan where there are 2 fighters who are in their correct boxing age to fight each other. I reckon this will break records in pay per view and gross revenue. In any case, the winner of this will fight the winner of Tank vs King Ry, correct? The next months will be good for boxing fans. April 22 Tank vs. King Ry, May 7 Inoue vs. Fulton and May 20 Haney vs. Lomanchenko hehehe.

The Oscar Award ceremony is just a few hours away. Have you decided on your top picks yet? It's time to start making some tough choices! Which films and performances have truly resonated with you this year? Will your picks align with the Academy's choices, or will there be some surprises? So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and let's see who takes home the coveted golden statuettes. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) All Quiet On The Western Front won 2 awards already for best cinematography and best foreign movie. I did not hear antiwar speeches except from the speech of the best documentary awardees hehe. Also, the president of the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences went on stage. She is Chinese. This removes all my hopes that All Quiet might win heheehe. Best picture will go to the movie with many Chinese actors Everything Everywhere.@nullama. There is a Netflix special from Chris Rock's stand up comedy. He talks about the truth about what he speculates why Will Smith slapped him hehe.

Bitcoin has been pumping that begun since more than 8 hours. This might be because it appears that the department of treasury of America and the Federal Reserve are going to give Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank the funding and the cashflow that they are needing to give their depositors 100% of their money. After receiving a recommendation from the boards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, and consulting with the President, Secretary Yellen approved actions enabling the FDIC to complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, in a manner that fully protects all depositors. Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.
Finally, the Federal Reserve Board on Sunday announced it will make available additional funding to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors. Read in full https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1337

The skeptical me is beginning to speculate that there is a coordinated attack against the cryptospace.
This is not the first time, but know that those centralized platforms are causing the attack. What is centralized can be controlled, the more decentralized things are, the lesser the control can be. I am sorry if I did not make the post quite clear for you. I will try to create a clearer one next time. What I was trying to tell everyone was the recent bad news we were reading, the rumors of wells notices and the 49k coins of bitcoin deposits to Coinbase made by wallets controlled by the American government, assumed for dumping, have been appearing like something coordinated to bring the price down. It was not organic selling.

I am not assuming that Binance was responsible for the depeg of USDC, however, it is speculated that the depeg going below $0.90 were the manipulations created by the whales to trick USDC holders into converting USDC to other stablecoins. I reckon if someone wanted to take advantage of this crisis and to send a message to Brian Armstrong and the whole cryptospace who is the king, it might be CZ. It is well recognized that USDC is Coinbase's first choice.
If this is proven, I will also not be shocked to know that Justin Sun helped CZ.
