What are we going to do about the 2 billion worth of BTC that Mt Gox plans to release very soon to the public, won't this make BTC crash heavily or the rumour is fake?.
No it's not a rumor, and could have been the news that affected the market recently as bitcoin is going down. However, part of the settlement is that they will be paid in cash, and then some in crypto like BTC and Bitcoin Cash. Although I think that it will have a huge impact to the market, it might be short term though. Or at least investors are not worried about it because as I have said, part of it is in cash and maybe those who are going to received it will still hold the coins and wait for the next bull run because that is the right time if they ever want to sell it. |

A good strategy that will convert to a win. Ancajas can regain that title and be a champion again. Also, a good opportunity for the promoters if, in case Ancajas win, they can immediately call for another rematch/trilogy to decide who's really the one who deserves to keep the belt. It's a must for Ancajas or else he will be forgotten, as there are many competitive young fighters who can challenge Martinez if Ancajas failed his attempt to win back his belt.
The other scenario here if Ancajas wins other than the trilogy is that Martinez would go back to his original division and continue depending his belt while Ancajas would go on fighting Ioka which was the original plan of MP Promotions and might also be a chance to avenge the loss of Nietes in the hands of Ioka which for me, Ancajas has the better chance of winning than this fight. That will be a big fight as Ioka has recently beat his arch nemesis, another Filipino in Nietes. I agree that Ancajas has a better shot since he is still very young as compare that time to Nietes who is already over the hill at 40 years old. But as what we want to see, Ancajas should win first and dominate Martinez. He was a huge underdog in the first fight that we thought it is easy path for Ancajas. However, Ancajas demanded a rematch so here we are and hopefully this time, Ancajas will win and I wanted to see a knock out win for him. Yup, this Martinez rematch is way for him to get back on track in his boxing career. As I've said before that he might not be focused in the first fight because Martinez was a replacement fighter but this time around, no reason or alibi for him if he loses, it's just that Martinez is superior to him. Now that he has experienced how Martinez moved or how hard Martinez can hit him so he has now an idea on how to defeat him in this rematch and for sure bookies will place Ancajas in the underdog position here. Right, maybe Ancajas was thrown off by the style of style of Martinez because he hasn't prepared for him. But nevertheless, there should be no excuses this time, he has months of preparation against Martinez, he knows his weaknesses and strength based on their first fight. So he has somewhat of an idea, a blue print in mind on how to beat Martinez. We would love to see Ancajas as the underdog so that we will be more willing to bet on him, maybe 3:1 odd as underdog would not be bad at all for us to bet. |

So we have seen Cryptocurrency hit with many huge scams, come under increased scrutiny and regulation, as well as being the subject of environmental concerns.
As of late, Bitcoin is trading at the lowest levels I've seen it trade in quite some time.
So I made this poll to gage the latest opinions of the users here.
The question is, due to any of these issues, or a combination of them, are we finally going to see the end of Bitcoin and
Cryptocurrency or is it still a safe haven?
Numbers speak for itself already, 11 votes so far for No. And I don't know, as much as we hated it, but scams do exists in any way or form in other markets, do we forget this man? Who Was Bernie Madoff? So I guess the poll is just a moot point, as I don't see people opinions here swaying ot the end of Bitcoin/ Cryptocurrency, sorry to burst the bubble for you. |

Maybe they are also on the process or discussion on how to maximize their profits and make the fight bigger than mega-fight as an undisputed fight is really rare to happen in the boxing industry, also, I happen to read somewhere that Spence's camp is asking for Crawford's camp to help Spence sell and market the fight as he couldn't carry all the load even if he is the king of PPV. Don't know if it's really true but both of them should really try to sell the fight even if they know that their fight is much anticipated.
They share the obligation but I'm curious since both fighters are top calibers and their names already have market value. I don't see any needs of selling as in one formal announcement of this possible fight fans will be there to support, especially the gambling industry Exerting more effort into the marketing will help them sell more, more PPV and gate entrance means more money, and probably more sponsorship as well. This is an anticipated fight and it could only happen once, so they have to take this opportunity to make more money. Trash talking and other form of taunting especially on social media is I think enough for them to gather hype for this match, they are big star already and for sure many of their fans would provably watch this fight because for sure many are interested to see on which of them is the more dominant fighter. Provably there are still ongoing negotiation for this fight to happen and maybe there promoter just want more people to talk about this fight so that they can also get huge revenue for this match up. There is already a big hype on this fight, I don't see why it will not be push through by promoters at this point. Even casual fans know both fighter are elite and undefeated, so why need to hype it more in the public? revenue for this match up is already guaranteed. I'm seeing the tickets for the live gate will be a sell out, it's just the matter of PPV as what we have discussed that it's too expensive and because of piracy, the numbers might not be what it is expecting, but still a lot of money for both this fighter. |

The schedule is out. https://www.nba.com/news/nba-unveils-2022-23-regular-season-scheduleThe 2022-23 NBA regular season will tip off on Tuesday, Oct. 18 with a doubleheader on TNT as the 76ers visit the reigning Eastern Conference champion Celtics and the defending NBA champion Warriors receive their championship rings before hosting the Lakers. It's still a long way before the season starts but I can't wait to see them back with their jerseys on. Will a guard be included in the top 3 of the Season MVP this year? i.e. Luka Doncic, Steph, Ja Morant. These are the players I will be looking forward to being on top of their careers and doing most of the damage against their opponents. But Jokic will still be there, I don't doubt that. Only an injury will stop the Joker. If Kawhi will be back healthy, it's possible he will also be in the MVP discussions. It's Jokic consistency that really put him in the MVP race, if my memory serves me right, Joel was the front runner midway, but when he suffers a injury, Jokic takes over. So if those guards are just going to be consistent and injury free, I think they will have a good chance to win the MVP this year. If will be another close one, Kawhi and even Paul George could be in the discussion as well, or even Jokic's team mate Jamal Murray could also be inserted if he just continue what he left off prior to his injuries. |

I guess what interest us more is how is Loma after his long break again, remember that after his lost to Lopez, he comeback strong and dominated his opponents, Nakatani and Comley.
Unfortunately, war broke out and he is supposed to fight Kambosos, but Haney was tapped and then get all his belts. So this is a tuneup as others said for Loma and hopefully he is still in his prime and that he can get back all the belts he had once held.

This looks really really one-sided right now for Fritz. I am also quite surprised as I thought Fritz might be running into trouble defending Kyrgios' serves. I think Kyrgios' strength regarding the serves can also turn into his weakness. We have seen that against Djokovic in Wimbledon. When he hits his serves it is almost impossible to defend him. He collects countless aces or easy points that way. But if he doesn't hit the serves well, he sometimes seems a bit lost against players who are very strong at longer rallies. Still fun to watch him and I guess he will also play an interesting role at the US open.
That was a pretty quick 51 minutes. I cannot even tell if Kyrgios was tired or bored. In any case, it was a match without highlights. I had already thought that Fritz was the favourite. But I did not think it would be that easy for him. And that Nadal would lose. I did not think that either. Lots of surprises for us in this tournament, as for Nadal, I guess he is just trying to see if he can get back to his old form after missing a lot of games. He did try, but it seems he is out of rhythm but it goes that at least he stay and remain very positive for the US Open. For Nick, just woke up in the wrong side of the bed. He seems to be very angry with his coach, the girl friend and then the crowd get involved. |

The previous support level will be a strong resistance at the present time, and 30k levels were support levels for a long time, and therefore approaching these levels will lead to a correction in the price, so we find that the price is slowly moving towards those levels. As for the resistance at $25k or $26k, it is nothing but a reflection of the strength of the resistance at the levels of 30k, which makes the price weaker the closer we break a barrier. It started with $21k, $22k and so on. you can read more from here ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405627.0Yes, at some point that $23k became a resistance, but as time goes on, we overcome it, weaken and now it is the support. So it's also a cycle, resistance and then it will become a full blown support level, then goes up to the next price. So it's just a matter of time, it could be days, weeks and months for a certain price to be overcome like in our present price $25k. I can't remember how many times we get to it and then it went down very fast, maybe twice or thrice. So we will see how it will be in the next try, whether we can break it easy and then we will have a momentum run and then it will become the support. |

Jesus christ, 50 million a year give or take, which I am sure is still good money for Lebron even though he must worth like a billion already, maybe more. I am guessing that he will definitely pick up the player option, but it all depends on where his kid will go. I guess Bronny looks as solid as it gets for a candidate, both a legacy which is like the biggest we can think, but also a solid top 60 draft pick for sure even without the dad (well he wouldn't be this good without his dad lol). So all in all, I am guessing that if Lakers gets Bronny then Lebron stays, if not then Lebron may leave to wherever drafts Bronny for sure.
Looks like LeBron will most likely retire a Laker on that contract. The extension also makes him the new highest paid career earner in NBA history, passing Kevin Durant. In another two years I’m not sure if LeBron will still be able to be healthy and play at a high level, but he’ll probably have the option to sign another deal if he wants to. I’m sure LeBron is celebrating tonight… And Rich Paul too could have been celebrating with him with that huge contract he was able to make for his client Lebron. Seeing how Lebron was really putting hours in his body to protect it, I'm thinking that he can still be very competitive in the next 2y years or at least the arrival of his son/s in the NBA because we all know that this is his dream to play with his kid, maybe it could be in the Lakers uniform and then makes history. |

Seems to be that the Middle East is the preferred destinations of most fight, the Usyk vs Joshua will be in Saudi.
So it make sense if ever Bivol will reconsider a rematch with Canelo, it could be good venue for the fight.
However, it's up to Canelo, he need to win against GGG first and we will see what will the plan. If he is chasing for a 5th world title then Cruiserweight could be his next, but who knows, if the money is right for a Bivol fight and then probably it will be their best shot.
Canelo won't be that interested. Hosting the match in United States is beneficial for him and the organizers in terms of increased revenue (gate collections, sponsorships.etc). That said, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are not bad options. There are a few advantages as well, such as the lack of taxes on ticket sales and endorsements. It is up to Canelo. He is the cash cow of boxing right now and Bivol by himself can't attract a lot of revenue in terms of PPV buys (most of the PPV revenue comes from the United States). Possible but what if rich nations Saudi Arabia offers big money for Canelo to fight there? He could be getting up front money but just showing in the gate and as you have said, he is the cash cow so definitely he could demand the money and if the Saudi organizers can afford that then definitely it's worth a try for him. They can still have the PPV just like in the AJ vs Usyk match, although the time difference could be a big factor. |

Consider my personal account is a merit source or say not anymore or it was never a merit source lol.
When I see a post is merit worthy I send merit. But I am hesitating to send merit to the team members in the Ann thread and other threads created from the official account. One mind says it's okay, they are not my alt accounts but another mind is saying sending merit to them seems like I am giving them an unethical (may be not) favour.
How would you judge it if you are in the same situation? I would like to have some discussion and based on that I will take a note if I should or should not.
Thanks in advance.
As others have said, merit is subjective, you can find one liner to merit worthy, but others look for more comprehensive and detailed post to merit them. So I don't see anything wrong with sending merit to Ann thread, it won't harm or benefit the project, in my opinion. And for this project or business, it's the exposure and the number of investors that count, how much money they can bag because they created a Ann thread in this community and not for the merits. |

Ethereum was dumped down to 950$ in latest Bear market and now it's trading 2x from that price. My question is , what is best price to buy ? Buy now or wait to down 600$?
Unfortunately, no one has the crystal ball to see if Ethereum will still go down to $600 or not. So maybe the best approach is do to DCA. I know your frustrations, we always wanted to buy at the lows, but it's hard to time the market as it is. And I would say that there are traders that got lucky to be able to buy < $1000 because they have profited already. Or maybe you are not that late because next month we will have the merger in the mainnet and it is schedule - Sept 15/16 as this news could trigger another Ethereum run. |

if it reaches $ 106k of course it will be very surprising to the whole world, but in my opinion it is still a question mark,
indeed Bitcoin has reached $ 64k, but after seeing the incident from Luna, I think maybe Bitcoin will never reach ATH again,
and even I have the worst case scenario, which is Bitcoin drops below $10k again.
Lol, how can you compare Luna to Bitcoin? and why does Bitcoin correlates with Luna? I don't get the relationship. You mean that when Luna falls, Bitcoin will not reach a new all time high? How come? We all know that Bitcoin works like magic every 4 years, aptly call a cycle and it closes on a bull run just like in 2021 $60k++ run in November and then after that, the bubble has been burst and we are back to bearish cycle again. |

I used to play with my girlfriend, it was lime a slots machine but a bit different. It was really enjoyable to play together, but I wouldn't repeat it online, it wouldn't be the same.
Most girlfriends prohibit us from gambling activities, but the situation is different when your partner has the same thing to gamble on slot machines, but you still limit gambling only to slot machines and not online gambling. I am sure every boyfriend will not let us get addicted to online gambling and she only allows to enjoy playing gambling for entertainment. And what if your girlfriend is more addicted to you, specially slots? And a scenario such as you introduce your girlfriend to slots and then she suddenly fell in love with it and later you realized that she is more addicted to you? Could be a very difficult situation now as the tide has turn? Same here, me and my wife gamble together, and we complement each other, I mean if she wins then she will give something to me to continue and vice-versa. |

Same here, if I would choose, I like Bradley Beal as he is more clutch compared to Mitchelle who is also a superstar. If a Jazz - Wizards trade would happen, I guess that's more fair as both teams will received a new superstar, and I believe that with Beal, Jazz will improve.
Mitchel was really pissed off when they were losing in the playoffs and it seems like he doesn't really fit with the team and he has the chance to continue his journey on the other team with new teammates. If he can find himself traded to the Wizards that would be a nice new beginning for him. he can really do something new where he will have the chance to prove everyone that he can actually make it to the NBA playoffs no matter where he is or if he is lucky enough, he can have some good team mates out there as well to help him win a championship. Anything can happen in this league, as long as you are playing like superstars, your chance is also higher than the others. I think he fits well with the Jazz, the problem is that they choke in the playoffs. They are a good regular season team, but come playoff time, they seems to be off and the focus is not there and collapse in close game. But if you look at the team, they are so deep that you wonder what could have been the case of them not succeeding in playoffs. Could be the coach? or the players themselves? But now it seems that they are going to reset if Mitchell gets traded. |

I'm still waiting for the announcement if they have already reached an agreement. It's been weeks but still no report from the media. I hope they will reach an agreement soon, perhaps this coming ber months. I don't why Terence Crawford is hard to get regarding the percentage of the money. If I'm Crawford I'll humbly ask 40-60 of the money, beat the shit out of Spence, demand a rematch then appeal for a 70-30 on the contract, ez money.
We have seen the updates already, although not official, but it is a reliable and good source as where the negotiations is heading. It not Terrence Crawford that is trying to 'hard to get', in my opinion it is Spence, because he has 3 belts and he believed he is the A-side, between the two. And all have been speculating that the money split is 60-40 in favor of Spence, and Crawford is ok with that 40. But then again, we might never know that real split until the fight is made, and the numbers goes public. |

I voted no, obviously, we are not out of it, I mean the lowest that we have seen is around $17,500 and even if we have a good bounce back in the last several weeks since the lowest low, it's possible that we can still go down very hard.
And to say that we are out of the bear market, we should be getting into a new all time high. But that is not the case, we should wait till the bitcoin halving, because that will be the catalyst to end the bear market.

I have noticed, that after loosing, or loosing some bets in a row, I usually set the amount of my balance I try to reach, when I be ready to say "it is enough for today". And that is what stimulates me to gamble or continue loosing. I always end with thinking, why did I continue playing, why didnt I stop after X bet or after loosing Y. Anyway, after losing balance, I often imagine how else I could have spent amount lose, or what I could have bought for that amount.
Well that's actually our emotions taking over, and so our decision are clouded and it seems we can't control ourselves even if we say that enough is enough. This is the case even if we are in a winning or losing, we keep on going on, until we realized that it's too late, no more money to play and they blame ourselves for not stopping that early when we still have the money. And that thing is that it's very hard to control, or at least our logic mind come to senses and we completely stop. |

Robson also needs the money, they all need the money otherwise this fight will not materialize. Bob has already rebranded himself for the worse and if you are a hot fighter like Shakur he will give him more fight to fast forward the flow of cash. Make sure as well Shakur will be on the safe side, not killing the cow itself by matching him to someone they know can't beat him.
You can only wish there is an upset because youre too indisposed to bank for Shakur due to the odds.
Honestly there's no champion on super featherweight can kill Shakur career, I believe Shakur will win the entire fight and become undisputed champion. The reason why Shakur want to fight him is because many people think Robson win against Oscar Valdez, since Shakur already won against Oscar Valdez, then the next is proving if he's better than the these two boxers. Yes, that is the selling point in this fight, Robson beat Valdez in their fight, although the judges favor Valdez. So the next big fight for him is to go against one of the champion which is Shakur and it's good that Stevenson accepted this fight without any hesitation. The next thing we will see Shakur fight against the champion on super featherweight division. If he will move up to lightweight division, then he will face many good boxers and could threat his career.
That is the best thing to do with his career, before moving up in weight and call Davis, why not clean up his division first, unify all the belts and then go chase 135 lbs champion. |

I agree, Kyrie and KD could be gone tomorrow, or they will not be gone at all, and we do not have any idea until it happens. I still think that fully healthy Nets for a whole year could end up being great. Last year, at the start of the season the talks were about Lakers vs Nets finals, with harden instead of Simmons obviously, we all saw the result of that.
Harden has left, Simmons is injured, Kyrie and vaccination etc etc all destroyed Nets, and Lakers having one of the worst years of both AD and Westbrook together caused them to be terrible too. So I am not expecting the thing this year, it is going to be a revenge year for Lakers, and Nets could stay healthy and be a lot better if they stay together.
Well... reading this post came to my mind... could the Nets be different this season and could they become a strong and competitive team to beat the Warriors!!? (or another team???). I mean if both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant reverse their requests to be traded away from Brooklyn, I could see this team being very good with another year under their belts as well as having time to gel with Ben Simmons. But whether they can beat the Warriors or not I’m not too sure. I think if they all play to their fullest abilities and stay healthy, they could..Durant is a top 3 player on the planet and Kyrie is top 10..so that should be enough for them to compete with anyone. I don’t know if that’s going to happen. I suspected they would return and the Nets would go on like the trade requests never happened. However, I just read an article that claimed Durant said that he would rather retire then play another game for the Nets. I guess we’ll see soon enough. With only a couple months left until Durant is expected to suit up, we could have another Ben Simmons situation on our hands. If the is the case, then it might ruin Durant for good, he can still ball no doubt, but if he has that kind of attitude now, I don't know if teams are willing to take a gamble. Just play if they are really professional, that's what the NBA and the fans are expecting them to be. Not just diva, so he should expect more former players to criticized him in public and maybe some of his defenders can't shield him anymore from detractors. |
