1901  Economy / Speculation / BTC Sentiment Poll for December on: December 02, 2022, 03:51:01 PM
Ok...  November wasn't really that great for BTC.  To recap, it was doing great the first couple of days and looked like it was finally starting to break out and trend up higher until the FTX fiasco spoiled the party.  But then around November 22, the market seemed not to care anymore and started going up again.

The chart below doesn't really look all that good but if you have been following the price action everyday it feels like there aren't a whole lot of sellers left.  So hence the poll.

^  That's the thing, if Holland took a striking heavy approach, I think Thompson will be a problem.  Holland will have a hard time closing the distance as Thompson is mostly light on his feet and could kick from different angles.  It could prolly end up something like point fighting for Thompson.  Dunno...  But yeah, the last couple of losses were from fighters who are really good at wrestling.  Then again it's also possible that Thompson is washed. 

Edit:  As for the odds, Holland at 1.57, Thompson at 2.36.  Oh...  Not much value for Thompson.  Lol.  I thought I saw he was at 2.75 or something.  :/  My bad.

There are some talks about Sebastian Vettel taking a little break at first, but then becoming a team principle.

I know that Horner and Toto is solid at where they are and won't change, but if it is possible then Ferrari, or even Aston Martin that he left, or any other team that takes him could really have a huge chance. This dude is the epitome of a great driver who understands the car, like Lewis for example is a great racer, but he is great racer behind the wheel, but when he is out, he is just a fashion icon or whatever, whereas Vettel understands the car itself just like an engineer as well and that could really turn a team into a marvellous future if he can be hired.

It's def a possibilty...  Vettel becoming a team principal I mean.  But def not a team principal for Ferrari.  Vettel lost his hair in that team as obv there was a lot of team politics at play.  He even said that he wanted to as Schumacher for advice on the finer side of team politics.  But it wasn't possible because of Schumacher's skiing accident.

Back in the day in Red Bull, Vettel would be beside Horner when he got a DNF and just be looking at the monitors or in the garage he'd be talking to Newey to understand more about the car.  And it was said that he worked very closely with his engineers in the garage, working all night until the wee hours in the morning.  So yeah...

He'll prolly be groomed to be Red Bull's team principal to replace Horner.

I'm more looking forward for the other ONE event happening this weekend.

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/91288-one-championship-164

I don't really know who these fighters are but the main event looks to me like it's between two guys who love to bang til one of them gets cracked.  Lol.  The champ is a Filipino guy at 125 but the dude looks like he could be at 135.  The other guy is American who looks like he has a wrestling background.  Should be good.  

I also like the event from Singapore because I know some fighters there mostly Filipino fighters and their Muay Thai event where Superlek Kiatmoo9 is fighting that guy is really SUPER, a literal super in his name aswell, and the Return of Brandon "The Truth" Vera and mostly fights for those Filipino fighters Joshua Pacio, Geje Eustaquio, Jeremy Pacatiw, Jhanlo Mark Sangiao, Adonis Sevilleno, and Jenelyn Olsim most Filipino I would surely support them, and the beautiful Fighting kitten Lara Fernandez, She is not Pinoy but that is one hot chick,

Yeah I like what I saw from Joshua Pacio's high light reels at YT.  But the other guy Brooks isn't a slouch either.  I'm not really sure what to think as I don't really know both these guys but the fans in Tapology has overwhelmingly voted for Brooks to win and the books that have a market open for ONE have Brooks at 1.25 and Pacio at 3.75.

Check it out at Best Fight Odds:  https://www.bestfightodds.com/

Here are the weigh ins.  What are these Asian fighters eating?  They're leaner and more ripped!  Lol.

^  Wait...  There's a fine if a Russian flag is displayed by the fighter?  I know Russian flags were disallowed in F1 but I didn't notice it was also the same in the UFC or even football.
No flags of any country will be carried by any fighter and that is the new policy by the UFC, if any fighters violate them, there wont be any fine but probably released from the UFC and that is how Dana White usually conducts business, his way or the highway  Cheesy.

Yeah..  But I think some people are trying to pin the issue totally on Dana White or the UFC.  He has his hands tied and he prolly doesn't give a fk which flag you wave around during walk outs.  You could wave a flag around that says the UFC sucks and he wouldn't care.  It's the United States gov imposing those rules as Russia is currently 'the enemy'.  It's a weird time.  

Anyway, you guys got any picks and bets for this weekend's event?  There are some pretty good match ups in here...  Levy vs Valdez is gonna be good, Price vs Rowe, Hermansson vs Dolidze, Tuivasa vs Pavlovich and Nicolau vs Schnell.

It's always weird when politics takes over. The war sometimes extends to MMA matches.
Tuivasa is the only recognizable name on the list. Will go for Holland as long as he isn't fighting Khamzat.





Not just to MMA but they extend to all other sports and sporting events.  In F1 a Russian racer whose dad is an oligrach and somewhat connected to Putin was given the sack by his own team.  In EPL football, Roman Abramovich was forced to sell his football club Chelsea as he was getting hassled left and right.  It's crazy.

And yeah, I think there's only amfew guys itt who watches UFC events from start to finish.  To that I say, give it a chance, read about the fighters, the news, etc etc...

As for Holland vs Thompson, at first glance I got Holland but the more I look into it, Holland should win but I think the line should be closer imho.  Thompson's last couple of matches were against really in wrestling but Holland,  ot so much.  If Holland is gonna go into a striking battle then he's playing into Thompson's strengths.

Edit:  Live weigh ins here.

1907  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for the Next Great 1000x on: November 30, 2022, 04:36:15 PM
^  Speaking of NFT's, I was just thinking about that and the criteria for finding the next great 1000x.  I think one of the rules could be applicable for NFT's and that is it has to have a doge logo.  Wink

Remember, one reason that I made that the criteria is because of Elon Musk.  As said, the guy could sneeze about doge and the thing pumps more than 10% in a day.  What more for highly illiquid markets like NFT's.

In this case I think the best advice is to always be one of the early birds when investing in any projects, nothing beats getting your tokens at a very cheap price and wait for a better pump.

1000x is not something that happens everything so it makes no sense hunting for one, those who invested in Shiba Inu at early stage wasn't expecting that incredible gains, belief me.

It is important to remember that not every new project can grow, in 2021 we will have thousands of projects, and only Shiba will be able to do that. It can be said that there will still be projects that can bring profit x1000 but finding it is not easy. In my opinion now is not the time to start hunting for those hidden gems but we should wait for the signs of bull season to make them easier to find.
not only in 2021 but specially in ICO days , remember that thousands if not million that fails and scam investors this is why the ICO days are gone and died with those scammers.

SHIB  on the other hand still not posing big potential aside from being Pump and dump meme coin.
a copy cat of dogecoin and another baby of Elon Musk.


For the sole purpose of the thread, I'm pretty sure SHIB has reached a high enough market cap to not give its holders 1000x returns if you bought it today.  Those days are gone for SHIB imho.  That's why we should adhere to 'the criteria' for finding the next great 1000x.  I'm not saying finding it is going to be a sure thing but the criteria can at least help.

The last time I logged in the site, I removed 2FA and was able use the site with no problems.  Could the removal of 2FA caused the problem?

^  What do you mean?  Binotto wasn't team principal for Ferrari until the year 2019.  If he's going to step down, he should likely be back to his role back as the chief technical officer.  But if you're saying that he should totally be given the sack then who should replace him?  I've said this before but I'll say it again, I think it's going to be a mistake.  I'm sure some of you would disagree just because, but ok..  A part of me wants to see Binotto get the sack just to see if I'm right or not.  Lol.  It's going to be a big loss for Ferrari, I feel like.

If there is no better replacement then maybe it is going to be an error but the fact that Ferrari is not winning a title from the distant year of 2007 says a lot about how the team is being managed,not in the best way I would say and there has been some changes in the direction with Binotto also being promoted in 2019 but he was there a lot of years before so in this context I think his time has come only if the replacement will bring better result to the team.Unfortunately for this year he took all the blame despite the team strategy being screwed up by other members but since he is the principal those people are there with his approval so it is normal all the rage to be geared toward him.In this context I think this year has been really bad for Ferrari starting as heavy favorites and losing because of terrible mistakes.

Binotto is a good engineer.  It's just Mercedes was dominating F1 due to their engine advantage after the sport's switch to the V6 engines.  But they did almost win during 2018.  If not for some of Vettel's errors and esp in Germany, of all places, I think they would've won the title.  

Ferrari needs a good team principal and a good race strategist.  The race strategist they have now is a clown.  There were races when ot was Sainz told the team what to do.  Lol.

Pulisic to Arsenal please.  I would love to see him play in Arteta's system and Arteta has the kind of man to man managerment style that makes a footballer play better and up to his potential.  Gabriel Jesus is a good example of it.  I thought Jesus was done after he left City but lo and behold, he is flourishing in Arsenal under Arteta's system.  I think Pulisic could thrive too.

Newcastle would be another decent destination...  Moving to Man United would def be a big mistake as everybody already knows why.  Ten Hag could even leave by mutual consent at the end of the season.

1914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Doge can it go 1$ on: November 28, 2022, 04:22:48 PM
The ath reached by doge is close to $0.74 which is almost near to $1. With the occurrence of Twitter there is big expectation over the price of dogecoin. We don't know how far this will go in real-time, but Elon Musk being a cryptocurrency influencer have got the ability to drive the price.

The market being bearish, and a positive drive of dogecoin can be easily identified as manipulation. To experience the regular growth we need to have the patience for the market transition. Maybe during the next bullish move along with the support of Elon Musk this could happen.

Yup, Elon Musk would just sneeze about DOGE and it would be up by more than 10% in a day.  Lol.  I know a lot of folks in crypto hates him these days but I'm rooting for him to hype DOGE and to take it as high as he can take it.  That's the key in looking for the next great 1000x coin.  If DOGE trends up to 1 USD, there's a pretty good chance one of these other microcap dog coins around 1m USD market cap or under could be the next 1000x.  So keep your eyes peeled.

I started a thread about looking for the next great 1000x and one of the criteria is it has to be a dog coin.  Lol.  Cheesy
1915  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for the Next Great 1000x on: November 28, 2022, 04:08:45 PM




And here, just to let you guys know I already made my bet for my next 1000x.  I won't tell you exactly what it is to avoid the blame game but will tell you a year or two later.  What we'll do is follow the coin's progress.  I'll be posting the chart every now and then.  I have around 100m coins of this which I spent 200 USD on.  Small risk.  It's a micro cap coin with a market cap of around 1m when I got in.

If you think you don't want to tell us the name of that coin, wouldn't it better to just close this thread? No point to keep this thread open while you just keep it hidden

Rofl now why would I do that?   The idea of starting the thread isn't about which coin we're supposed to be holding or what coin I'm holding but it's about what criterias are good to somehow find and luck box the next 1000x coin.  

But what I'm gonna do is tell everybody which coin it is I'm holding in around a year or so, doesn't matter if it's up or down.  As said, it's all for fun.  And tbh, I bought the coin must to put money where my mouth is.

-cut-
It must have a dog logo.  What can I say, memecoins seem to go up by a lot more than the rest of the market.
-cut-
This made me laugh out loud.
But your list is spot on. I would like to add that it needs to be new token/coin that people haven't yet tweeted about, at least not too much. Preferably with no advertising bounties. Old projects under 10M marketcap have either died or something bad has happened behind the scene. Something that no one is interested in them, so unless you know some inside news about those, you are betting on a dead horse.

Also no price talk on the channel gives a professional touch that makes me think it's already more mature and professional then 90% projects out there.

Yup!  You get it and prolly the only guy who got the idea of the thread.  I will include your criteria in the OP, good advice.

1917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2022/2023 on: November 28, 2022, 02:42:50 PM
I think it is very difficult for Manchester United to finish the season ahead of Liverpool. Because I don't see a more impressive game by them comparing to Liverpool. Yeah, Liverpool have had a really inconsistent run so far as well but they have a bigger potential than Manchester United anyway.

First of all, Liverpool are more productive than them in the league right now. Manchester United's main problem has been this for a long time period. They just waste too many goal opportunities and this causes them to suffer a big hardship indeed. I expect to see Klopp making a good progress in the rest of the season. Liverpool had this kind of times before and they know how to deal with it as well.

What do you mean difficult?  Man United is up by 4 points against Liverpool in the league.  It could be the other way around imho, as Liverpool has the UCL to worry about and getting top 4 in the league and the couple domestic cups.  United isn't in the same kind of pressure Liverpool is in judging from how much each of them spent on transfers during the summer.

At the start of the season not many people would have thought Newcastle United would be sitting in third place. Now they are there, how many people think they will maintain their form and be able to finish in a Champions League position at the end of the season?

It is difficult to see Manchester City falling out of the top four, likewise on current form it is the same for Arsenal therefore Newcastle United will have to fight for the remaining two Champions League places with Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United. I see all four teams having stronger squads than Newcastle United and am confident two of the other four will end up playing in the Champions League next season.




It's not going to be that hard for Newcastle, looking at the current of Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and United.  Lol.  Eddie Howe good, Newcastle good, Saudi oiler money good.  Wink
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 28, 2022, 01:51:53 PM
Premier League is the big fish here while Serie A is the small fish (like all the others leagues).

If they come with 120-150m € and test they can, any player from Seria A, Liga, or Bundesliga will leave for England.

Any.

The Big fish eats the small fish.

If we take top clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, then any club from England except City will be a small fish. If we are talking about United, which cannot guarantee the player participation in the Champions League, then this fish becomes very small.
By the way, the situation in the Premier League is quite funny - there are too many contenders for the top 4 and no club other than City can be sure that they will play in the Champions League.

But in England, what makes a 'big fish' big?  Surely Man United is one of the biggest fishes in the league as far as how they are as a company.  They got one of the widest global reaches of any club possible.  But in terms of current market value of their squad, sure not as big as City, Liverpool or Chelsea.

But that could only be because their players are losing value in the transfer market.  They could be on par or slightly higher than Chelsea if value was still at the prices they were acquired.
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 28, 2022, 01:45:16 PM
^  True that.  Even tho Dana White has been given negative press every now and them, deserved or not deserved, one thing I really love about him is the guy dgaf.  When it was the height of the pandemic, he went on while everybody was on lock down and it turned out to be the best decision.  People needed that sense of normalcy.

I think it sucks for Teixeira as he lost his opportuntiy to go at it another time.  I'm not sure why the UFC decided to drop him from the chance to get an interim belt.  
It was not UFC to blame this time, Teixeira made this decision to refuse this fight on his own, maybe because he knows how serious opponent Ankalaev is and he would probably lose a fight.
People probably underestimate ANkalaev is same way like they did it with Khabib when he was starting to win his fights, and then he cleaned up all division  Cheesy
This is perfect time for Ankalaev to take fast road to championship belt, and it's going to be hard for other guys to come back after serious injuries.
Someone said that Jiri shoulder injury is worst injury he ever saw in UFC.



Oof Ankalaev may be a slow starter and a low volume fighter but he's tough.  And pretty sure Teixeira had a camp tailored and trained for a specific opponent in Prochazka.  But what also sucks for Teixeira is his age.  He wouldn't get as much opportunities if he misses the first one that drops on his lap.
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 26, 2022, 02:39:50 PM
Joao Felix has decided to left Atletico Madrid this winter so he asking to his agent looking for new clubs in January this because he hasn't feel to comfortable anymore in Atletico especially during this season he cannot earn trust from Simeone and always be starting the match in the bench and some rumours mentioned Joao Felix want to play outside Spanish league and probably will joined England clubs and his agent offering him to Manchester United because this team was required new forward player but Manchester United hasn't respond this news yet however Joao Felix has contract clause 150 million euro so i was wondering which clubs are willing to buy him and release this clause

I am not always happy to see such a young talent always play from the bench. I don't know if he has any fall out with Simeone why he is benched. I used to compare Joa Felix with the like of Liuz Diaz of Liverpool. I support Felix to leave but we have to understand that his performance in this world will determine his work and the number of clubs that will be available to buy him. I wish him luck in the world cup

Simeone is a good manager.  Maybe Joao Felix isn't good enough for what he wants in his squad?  It could also be stylistic differences when what the manager wants isn't the skills that the player has.  Perfect example of this is Kevin De Bruyne.  He was at Chelsea back in the day and couldn't get in the starting line up under Mourinho.  So he moved to Germany where he played for Wolfsburg.  Then a couple of seasons later, Guardiola acquired him and turned out to be one of the best midfielders in EPL history.  

It was funny how that turned out.  A loss of one club is another club's gain.  A huge gain.
