So do we have some members here that wished to invest in bitcoin a year or 2 years ago? Now that bitcoin dropped below $20k, investors have the opportunity to travel back in time which was 2020, the year before the last time bitcoin went into halving. Next year is bitcoin halving once again. There is plenty of time remaining for us to invest or start a DCA on bitcoin and some of your chosen altcoins. Personally, this drop in price can only lead bitcoin to another mini bull run this year which will be around $30k or even more. 

Hopefully, he will just retire for good. Even in that Murata fight, he looked too old and he was saved by his gifted powerful punch. He is already small at middleweight so at this stage of his career, it'll be scary for his health if he wants to continue fighting at 168. Maybe he can get an easy fight so he can retire with a win.

Time flies really fast. It seems like it was only a few years ago when GGG was then based in Germany just like his Universum stablemate Marco Maidana and then they entered the US and made a name for themselves. Such a very humble guy and is very straightforward with his goal which is to collect all the belts. Too bad he was exploited by boxing politics and was ducked for many years. Not sure if he can enter the International Boxing Hall of Fame but there is also a possibility knowing all his 2 defeats came from Canelo, a clear HOFer in the future. And he was clearly robbed in his first fight against Canelo. The 2nd fight was close and could go either way but it is very hard to win a decision against Canelo. Even Bivol and Mayweather nearly get robbed in spite of them taking Canelo to school. 

It looks like Tyson Fury took not just the WBC from Wilder but the being a duck champion as well. I remember when duck Wilder became the WBC champ and all the remaining belts were already held by Wlad and were denied a chance to become the first ever undisputed in the 4-belt era. Now Fury also has the chance to deny Usyk not just the undisputed heavyweight championship but also the chance to become the first undisputed in 2 divisions.

It's possible that Fury wants Usyk to become inactive for about a year. Fury can drag this out until April or May and when the sanctioning belts or Usyk will try to book for another opponent, Fury will accept the deal and schedule this fight around July or August.

I can smell a newbie spamming threads in order to gather merits. OP, maybe you should provide figures including sources to your basis. Or if you are just talking with the speculations in your mind, you can do research and check to verify what's on your mind.

If bitcoin has not accumulated any impressions then it won't be worth hundreds of billions of dollars today. It even reached a trillion dollars in value last 2021 and for most of the people that have deep experience than you, bitcoin is about to reach another all-time high in the next 2 years. There are also many shops and commercial companies that are accepting bitcoin already. Bitcoin is regulated in most countries around the world and some countries banned it which means it made huge impressions over the years. Bitcoin is also traded daily for billions of dollars.

A financial advisor that asks for fees and then will give us stats and information that can be taken on the internet for free? Maybe it works if the investor is too busy or lazy to check and research thoroughly the assets he wants to get in. But considering a person who's planning to take a loan in order to invest in a volatile asset and has no time to research about it is a big NO already. If the guy is rich and is just trying to diversify his investments without taking unnecessary loans then yeah, it is reasonable to pay a financial advisor. Otherwise, it is wrong to pay a financial advisor. It is even wrong in the first place to take a loan in order to invest in an asset without much knowledge about it. Purely, the guy is profit driven and is just tempted due to the words it keeps hearing and seeing around.

No one is late in crypto and that includes bitcoin. I always hear people saying bitcoin is already expensive and it prompted them to take a pass. Little that they knew that bitcoin is not even adopted by almost all countries around the world as a legal tender. And if someone is looking for a short-term investment, bitcoin is currently priced at $21k which is 3 times its previous highest price of $67k. Bitcoin's 4-year cycle is about to be reached and we all know that it always broke the ATH during the cycle. We may not able to see bitcoin increase by as many folds during its last cycles but I think it is safe to say that it will continue to increase at a significant level compared to traditional investments.

Tank has been campaigning in 3 divisions already and became a champion at 130. Although Tank's opponents are mostly cherry-picked and exploited which is normal as he was carefully handled by Mayweather before, Kingry's level of opposition makes no difference. So overall, Tank has the edge when it comes to experience and better opponents.

I am liking of a Tank by KO/TKO. But I won't probably bet since I want these 2 cherry-pickers to fight in a blood bath after years of ignoring the top tiers of their division. And hopefully, the winner will be ready to face the real dogs of their divisions; Shakur, Haney, Loma, Lopez, Taylor, Caterall, Prograis, Matias, etc.

I am one of those that wanted Donaire to hang it up over the years. There is nothing to prove in this division anyways. It could be financial that Donaire continued his career despite being past his prime. If Donaire wins, I doubt he will retire as his dream of becoming a 5 division world champion is still doable provided he can make the weight.

Boxing is one of my favorite sports but I am not really into black-and-white fight replays although I did watch a lot before. But Donaire could be a top 3 IMO. I always hear the name Eder Jofre as the GOAT of this division. I also ranked Donaire higher than Inoue in this division despite the latter becoming the only 4-belt undisputed. It's because Inoue had trouble against an old Donaire which means he would've been stopped if it was a prime Donaire that hurt him. Donaire also beat Cucholito Montiel whom I believe is better than all fighters Inoue beat at 118, except Donaire of course.

Earlier I woke up seeing a clip on Facebook of Kevin Durant slipping on the floor while warming up against OKC. I thought it won't become a major issue until I heard updates that he is not playing against OKC. It was supposed to be the first game of KD as a Suns in Phoenix. No update on his injury yet but hopefully it isn't that bad. Phoenix Suns are on fire right now with a 4 game winning streak. They'll be in trouble if KD isn't back as their next 3 games are against the Kings, Warriors, and Bucks. Imagine if it is once again a season-ending injury. Booker and CP3 are bad luck. **peace**

It really depends on your taste mate. Aside from that, it also depends on what stocks you are looking at. Is it your local stock market or the international stock market? Is your local stock market doing well? If you are looking at the popular world stock markets then it is best to have a broker wherein you really owned the stocks, unlike eToro where the spreads are somewhat wide. Generally, I can say that you should do both as part of diversifying your investments. But you should stay away from exchanges stocks or crypto that provide wide spreads.

Sad. But you have to accept what happened OP and learned from it. We just have to double-check everything before we proceed with our bets. It also happened to me many times already. The last was when I thought I was using a currency with the lowest balance. But in reality, I forgot to change the currency settings. So I went on and clicked max balance and throw the dice with a 4% chance of winning. I was so annoyed but there is nothing I can do but move on. But what you did is probably the most common and I had experiences with it too including a bet wherein I was supposed to bet 0.005 and was shocked the next morning when my winning was only small because I only typed 0.0005 BTC.

I listen to music or watch funny movies or clips in order to change my mood. Maybe you can do it too OP.

Relax mate. I am not yet done accumulating. But there is no new ATH until the next halving of bitcoin. Maybe bitcoin will close at $30k by year-end. The world economy is still recovering. $100k may not even happen until 2025. Instead, I am taking this time to continue my DCA and it will continue until next year. I felt happy every time bitcoin moves up or down anyways. How I wish it is really as cheap as peanuts so I can buy hundreds of thousands of them.  

Yoshino might have beaten Nakatani by TKO but he will be facing probably the quickest hand speed and footwork in boxing right now. And Shakur is always overloaded with confidence and he will be more confident than ever since he is back in front of his hometown. Shakur is not heavy-handed but there is really a chance of him stopping Yoshino if the Japanese cannot earn his respect in the early rounds. Maybe Shakur's chin is untested, especially in this division so this is the chance for Yoshino to test it.

If Haney will win over Loma and won't move up in weight, imagine how big the fight will be between him and Shakur. Tank and Kingry can only watch and envy because they don't dare to be great.

Bitcoin is not illegal in my country but it is not considered legal tender. I'll be very happy if my country will follow the steps of El Salvador and the Central African Republic. I am not a whale nor a small whale but I will probably remain private as much as possible. I will be one of those that will use bitcoin as a regular currency in normal transactions but of course only if the fees and prices are similar to the normal expenditures using fiat. I really hope that within 2030, a lot of countries will adopt bitcoin as a legal tender.

Depends on your country's law OP. Most countries are requiring 18 as its minimum. Nonetheless, if someone below 18 years of age is addicted to charts and technical analysis and was doing well, the guardians or parents can simply create an account for the kid to use it. If doubtful like your concern OP then why not make him a demo account for him to prove if it is worth it or not? Or you can even provide a real account but with only a minimum balance. Binance minimum spot trade is $10 or $20 only. No leverage trading, of course, otherwise the kid is just biting more than it could chew and must rather focus at school.

Bitcoin price growth and altcoins won't be the same as before so I am a little more conservative here. Maybe $100k for bitcoin is achievable. Even at that price, there'll be a lot of money put into it in order to reach that price.

No mate, this is my first house. But in 2018 I was forced to sacrifice more than 10 bitcoins at $3k+ each just to make sure I have funds available to pay the last remaining balance once it's completed. What's in my head right now is to focus on crypto and then diversify again at the start of 2026.   

But the Suns are too upgraded compared to Luka and the Mavericks. I don't trust Kyrie since leaving Cleveland. Either he is injured or he will do some controversies to catch public attention. Either way, Kyrie is nothing compared to the great KD. And even without these 2 former Brooklyn players being shipped, the Suns are already a trio of superstars compared to Dallas with Luka only. I think many Suns fans are just butt hurt and were not able to move on after its team achieved the best record in the NBA but only to exit in the 2nd round after being shamed by Luka single-handedly. I like KD but now I want the Suns not to win a title with Booker.

GSW is a dark horse once the playoffs begin. Playoff games are too different compared to these regular games. GSW is too experienced and has chemistry proven once the biggest games of the NBA start. Although I also believe that Boston and Milwaukee are the strongest teams this season. I am an underdog guy though, so I hope teams like the Kings and Denver are the ones getting the title.

True. It's a no-brainer to choose between an educated and a non-educated as to who will become more successful. It's like 2 kids with the same IQ, the other one went to college while the other one didn't. After 5 years, obviously, the one with a degree will end up having better and more enhanced skills. Of course, there are always no guarantees in life, it could be that the other 1 that has no degree was able to grow his little business while the degree holder just graduated college. But chances are, the ones with degrees will be more successful than those that stopped schooling. Maybe 8 out of 10 or 1 out of 10 degree holders have a better success rate.       

Both Moloney and Donaire are not scared to face each other, both faced Inoue knowing they were underdogs and were expected to get KO'd. When the WBC announced both fighters to face each other, team Moloney in Australia was interviewed and they were very excited about the fight and are hoping that they can bring the fight to Australia. I haven't heard nor read Donaire's reaction to the announcement but there is no way that he is scared of Moloney too. It was Bob Arum, the promoter of Moloney that issued the statement that they no longer want to pursue the WBC belt saying they do not want to get involved with Probellum (Donaire's promoter) after it was linked to the Kinahans (a powerful Irish mob wanted in the US). Whether Arum is just using an alibi (he's been linked with the Kinahans too) or not, the cancellation was not because of Moloney or Donaire. I believe Arum realized that the WBO route is far easier for Moloney to become a champion.   

With regard to the purse split. Isn't it 50/50 when it is for a vacant belt? Unless a deal is reached to avoid a purse bid. So I doubt Donaire demanded the bigger purse. Unless Probellum can offer a satisfying offer to Santiago to prevent a purse bid which would probably guarantee a bigger purse for Donaire since he is obviously the bigger market of the two.

We'll see if they will actually dare to trash-talk face-to-face. Maybe they can bark at each other online but can't do it face-to-face. And it'll be fun to see how the other top fighters that are also throwing bombs at each other like Haney, Shakur, and Lopez. These Top Rank guys will probably laugh at this PPV event but with no real belts on the line. I really hope that the winner of this fight will go ahead and face real competition and not go back to the usual cherry-picking of opponents.

Baofeng mentioned before the 70k capacity Allegiant Stadium and the arenas of T-Mobile and MGM Grand. And as I mentioned earlier, I really doubt a stadium will be used in this fight. Boxing promoters in the US will most likely stick to boxing-proven venues like the MGM and T-Mobile, especially in a Vegas fight. Tickets will be more expensive of course compared to making this event in a stadium.
