Hehe yes. Also, being in a very warm climate, the high humidity and a jail cell full of Bahamians sweating beside him while he sleeps will certainly not be very comfortable.

In any case, this might also be part of their plan. Sam has hired one of the best lawyers to represent him, Mark Cohen. He prosecuted El Chapo and presently also the lawyer of Ghislaine Maxwell, the partner of Jeffrey Epstein in his sex trafficking business.

My prediction for Inoue for the year 2023. He will wait for Stephen Fulton to unite all of the championships in super bantamweight before Inoue will challenge Fulton, however, if he does not do this, Inoue will do it for him hehehe. Inoue will challenge Akhmadaliev first and win the IBF and WBA championships then challenge Stephen Fulton for the WBC and WBO champioships. He will leave bantamweight because there is nothing more to prove and there is nothing more to earn. Bigger challenge and bigger money is on Inoue vs. Fulton.

Are you ready boxing fans?

Brendan Fraser might presently be the most popular choice for best actor, however, after the Golden Globe awards and Screen Actors Guild awards this might change. This is where you should be fast on moving before the odds have changed hehe.

According to this news, Everything, Everywhere All at Once has dethroned the Fablemans as favorite for the best movie. But did sportsbooks change their odds quickly? You will find 4.20 if you know were to go hehehehhe.



This is one universe “Everything Everywhere All at Once” definitely wants to stay in. The genre-bending dramedy has dethroned “The Fabelmans” to take over the top spot in the Best Picture Oscar odds.

Much of the people in the community would call speculations or news a type of fud if it is bad news and call the bringer of the news as an antagonizer. They will choose to put their heads under the sand and refuse to accept reality.

I will tell you what is not fud. It has been 1 month already since Gemini earn has stopped withdrawals and Gemini's lending partner Genesis Global, owned by Barry Silbert, owes users more than $500 million.

In any case, instead of accusing anyone of spreading fud, read and share some news.

Agreed, the government has never wanted to protect the people. 99% of the politicians who run the government only want to act on their self interests and the personal agendas of their backers.

The cryptospace is a threat to the banking system because it will break their monopoly on the creation of money, moving money, laundering of money and many other things about money. It will also break the monopoly on the government's definition of money. If anyone has noticed, much of the people in the community has considered bitcoin to be a more authentic form of money than fiat.

I disagree. I reckon the next set of regulations will concentrate more on stopping moneylaundering in the cryptospace, on controlling liquidity that enters and exits stablecoins and a stricter stance given on Defi tokens as securitized assets.


It might be and I have created threads having this argument in the forum, with many arguments accusing me of being always the antagonizer again hehehe.

However, my argument against NFTs as the next to be strictly regulated is the government will concentrate on Defi first and this will not be an overnight development. It will be a process that might take more than 3 years, I reckon.

In any case, only one of you replied with a suggestion and this suggestion is a Trump NFT hehe. It is too early to speculate on Trump NFTs but start observing them near the Republican primaries on 2024. Trump will certainly declare his intention to run as president and it appears that he has strong support.

My suggestion would be DR/VRS NFT.

I like the artwork, their roadmap and their team appears to be good on paper. They are also cheap and the price is going lower. This might be a good longterm investment.

Agreed! I do not want to bring race and ethnicity into this similar to what Kanye has done when he talked about who controls hollywood or much of the medical industry , however, there appears to be something similar to what is happening in the cryptospace.

Sam Bankman-Fried and Alex Mashinsky created ponzi schemes, but cryptonews media is not really exposing the truth of what they did.

Barry Silbert is another one. There is something happening with those cryptocoin projects connected with his companies after a coordinated dump, however, cryptonews media is quiet on this.

Changpeng Zhao, a china man with no proven record that he created a ponzi scheme, however it appears that there is a negative propaganda against him.

We cannot be quite certain of this anymore because it appears that Sam's mother is very much connected to the politicians and the financers of the Democratic party. There are speculations that FTX and Alameda were created to be a moneylaundering operation for a certain group of people.

There was also a theory that implied that the aid the American government sent to Ukraine were laundered through FTX and sent to the Democratic party to use for the midterm election. This was denied by the government and the Democratic party, however, I would not be shocked if there was some truth in this.

We might know more when the trial begins or we might not. There are also speculations that Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison has began talking to the feds.



Following the arrest of the former FTX boss Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), spectators continue to wonder where ex-Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison is, and whether or not she turned on SBF. A few reports suggest Ellison is “likely working with feds” and it’s possibly the reason why Ellison was reportedly spotted at the Ground Support cafe in Soho.

Hehehe this is very much a similar behavior to NFT trading or they call this flipping.

In any case, week 16 will be a bye week for all of the participants. This will be very useful for me to check on the health and performance of Lamar Jackson and my favorite trade of the season Dallas Goedert hehe. They are speculated to be taken out from the injured list and play on christmas eve!


Hehe what is bad for Harris is good for Stevenson and Stevenson was on questionable for the whole week, I thought I was dead and would have to depend on the tie breaker.

In any case, Did anyone watch Patriots vs. Raiders? Heheheheheheeeee.

Your opinion is certainly respected, but I am afraid that I have to disagree. Neodice is a very beautiful site that brings its players in a relaxing mood. The music, the sound effects, the graphics and the theme are perfect. It is a dice site created not only to make profit quickly for the owners, it was also created to offer its players a different experience.

The gamefied faucets are also something new and they should continue this. However, I agree that they might be dull, only because there is no sound and music if you play them.

Agreed. There was a story about CZ and Sam. It was said that they met in a conference and CZ asked Sam to stop the market manipulation and the liquidation on their own institutional customers like 3 Arrows Capital. The side story is it was rumored that Alameda Research liquidated 3 Arrows and also Alameda triggered the fud that caused a run on Anchor protocol where billions of Luna UST were stored for yields.

In any case, when Sam appeared not to listen to CZ, it was said that CZ made the decision to liquidate the remaining FTT they were holding and caused a cascade of dumping within FTX which killed the exchange.

What presently might be happening his Sam's backers and his connections in politics might be making their own response by starting their own attack against CZ and Binance.



According to crypto analytics portal Delphi Digital, more than $5 billion were withdrawn from major cryptocurrency exchange Binance in a two-day period between Dec. 13 and 14. The outflow was triggered by rumors that U.S. prosecutors were considering charging Binance and executives with money laundering and sanctions violations.

I can agree in some of your argument that some regulation is good, however, what much of it will do is stop smaller, less advanced scammers. I am quite certain it will not stop the Bernie Maddofs, Elizabeth Holmes and the Sams in the world, who will have the proper connections to develop their scams and steal billions more in total compared to the small ICO, IOU, Defi and NFT scams of the world.

Also, ICO, IOU, Defi and NFT are not scams but only mediums that can be used for scams. This is very much similar to bitcoin where it can be used as a medium for scams but bitcoin itself is never the scam. I hope everyone will distinguish and accept the difference in this.

This is unconfirmed.

According to some accounts in social media, Barry Sibert has begun dumping some bitcoin. There is nothing yet in cryptonews media and mainstream news media, however, I have deployed my computing cluster of 1000 gameboys to collect, process, and filter all the news for everything Barry Silbert has done for the week hehehe.

Updates coming in this thread.

In any case, if anyone finds an update on Barry, please share them.

Agreed that Paddy the baddy has Dana White privleges similar to Conor, also agreed that Paddy lost the fight. However, blaming the judges' decision on Dana might be incorrect. Those judges are not employed by the UFC. They are sent by the athletic commission from the state of Nevada, similar to the referees. Dana does not have control on the officiating that occurs in the octagon.

I speculate the next opponent for Paddy might be a dead body and the oddsmakers will list him as an underdog hehehe.

Similar to what I have been saying for a few months, I speculate that as more and more regulations come to control Defi and the cryptospace industry, the next unregulated part of this will be the NFTspace. And naturally, this is where all liquidity will enter next and this is also where the lowest hanging fruits will be for profits.

However, the problem is which NFT projects should we speculate on to make us some profit hehe. Share your favorite NFTs, both speculated to pump and what you hold.

Also for fairness and to make this thread neutral, I will not share my favorite NFTs in this first post. I will share them after you have shared yours. Thank you.

I reckon no amount of stricter regulations will stop the more advanced type or the higher level scammers similar to Sam Bankrupt-Fried who, has the political connections and who has wealthy financial backers that can finance their criminal and moneylaundering operations. Everyone should become very much aware of this.

I would be shaking my head if we, the commoners of the cryptospace, would support a move for stricter global regulations in crypto. This will only make the use of cryptocoins, Defi and other protocols harder for us commoners, however, it will certainly not make it more difficult for those higher level criminals to create and fund their scams in crypto.



Cryptocurrency regulation is currently a focal point for regulators and lawmakers all across the world. Regulators have been tightening the noose around the crypto industry to safeguard consumers from bad actors.

The colossal fall of the FTX crypto exchange has alarmed regulators even more, and lawmakers are trying to bring effective and efficient crypto regulation into place.

The president of BaFin has censured the current synopsis of the regime that governs the crypto sectors as not strict enough. This points toward the condition where the industry will not be able to keep bad actors in control.

Hehehe Sam kills himself in prison? It would certainly be similar to how Jeffrey Epstein also killed himself in prison. I am sure this would open up new storylines and conspiracy theories on what Sam's connection really is with the Democratic party and how FTX and Alameda Research came to be one of the top exchanges and top market makers in a very short amount of time.

I will say it first be before it happens. Sam did not kill himself.

@Royse777. Thank you, payment received.


We are quite aware that reputable user with his own avatar is @Jayce and the user under his name in the spreadsheet is me?

I am quite certain there are many more Marvel enjoyers here in bitcointalk hehe. I reckon the new Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon might also be a popular choice to offer betting odds for entertainment betting. The original has gotten quite an attraction in the forum before. Maybe House of the Dragon might also get some interest.

Thank you for listening!



I am also not defending any gambling site, but I have observed that there are some people in the forum that have expressed that some of the red trust rating in some of the gambling services' accounts in bitcointalk does not imply that the service is really a scam.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5428255.0

I am worried that what this might imply is that the trust rating is being abused and it might not be trusted that much anymore.

Almost 1 month after your reply, it appears that the legislators in both the lower and the upper house might come to an agreement to create a bipartisan bill for regulating the cryptospace. According to this article, it will create laws and regulations to crackdown on moneylaundering, however, I speculate that similar to much of the of bills created, some statements on this bill would be vague, broad and open to interpretation.



As federal prosecutors seek to imprison former crypto darling Sam Bankman-Fried, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is attempting to push through Congress a bipartisan crackdown on money laundering in the crypto industry.

The Massachusetts Democrat is teaming up with Republican Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas to introduce new legislation on Wednesday that would seek to close loopholes in the financial system that pose national security risks by allowing digital assets to be used for money laundering, Warren’s office told CNN.
