To be honest his opponents weren't the toughest. He has a perfect score but that doesn't mean anything if you're not fighting against the best. Like you're saying this is going the be the time when the opponents get tougher and more experienced. Fedor had 25 fights in 9 years and won all of them and then he started losing. Maybe Adesanya is a prodigy who doesn't lose? I doubt it but time will tell.
If you compare opponents, Blachowicz fought tougher ones.

Anyway, congratulations Stake for getting such a good representative.

Sure, it's possible that one day it's going to be used the way described in the article but for that to happen countries would have to create legal frameworks and treat bitcoin transactions as binding.
I feel like the most common use of bitcoin will be holding followed by a high value transfers made by the private sector (companies and wealthy individuals). Nobody is going to use bitcoin to buy a pizza but it's going to be your first choice when you decide to buy a private jet or an island.

And by selling weapons to every other nation around the globe. Sometimes it's for money, sometimes for favors, and if you don't want to buy from them you're the enemy (like Saddam).
Most countries are barely holding on if you think about it. The ones that are printing less are held together by a leader's strong hand, others, with more freedoms, have to print more because free people want more and you can't shut them up by force, you have to bargain more.

I do it very often. Last minute changes in the roster are probably one of the most important factors when it comes to betting on team sports like football. If a team loses an important player because of health issues it's less likely to play well, everybody knows that.


There were many real life situations that backed this statement, especially in esports. There were teams made of champions that were simply doing bad and were disbanded after 1 tournament.

I usually try to save up as much as possible, so that's the main use of my signature campaign earnings. When they grow in value enough I spend some, usually during the bull runs.
My nature of a hodler makes me think twice before I gamble anything away or use for charity, which doesn't mean that I don't gamble or spend on charity, just that fiat is much better for it.

FYI the purpose of the heat pump is not to mine coins but to heat your home and your water.
I'll give you a nice example of how this could come in handy from my own recent experience. My friend has a house in one country, but moved to another before the pandemic and had trouble coming back for winter, so he decided to stay at his girlfriend's place for a few months. I got a call from him a few days back to check on the house and it appears he had a flood because it got so cold in there the pipes froze and burst (the temperatures went down to -20 this winter which is pretty rare. Last winter we maybe had -5 outside tops and his house was fine). So if he had a mining rig in there he'd be able to get some coins for free and keep the house warm.

The whole market is in the red. If you bought BTC or almost any other coin, not counting Cardano, BAT and maybe a handful of other coins, you'd suffer a loss to fiat.


He made the wrong decision again when he posted about ETH in bitcoin discussion.
I don't believe ETH is an inflated market at this time since it's the most popular chain upon which other coins are built. In this market the important features are scarcity and utility. Bitcoin is the most popular scarce coin and ethereum the most popular utility coin. I'm sure that if Bitcoin continues to gain value (and it will) ETH will follow.

Exactly. Good picks and counterpicks can decide the game. You can have better players and simply be outpicked at the beginning and you'll lose the round. That's why at top level events they usually play best of 5, but in normal casino scenario nobody is going to play for 5 hours straight to get the reward. Casino games have to be pretty easy and fast. They need a los skill entry point, so that a newbie can understand the rules fast and they need a fast paced matching system. Dota sucks in this because team picking phase alone can take 10 minutes.

I'd rather ask why their wages are so incredibly high. For instance, a good specialist in his field, a scientist, a researcher, can make maybe 10k USD a month. Football players make 100k. They're getting so much that it's easy for them to become spoiled. It's especially hard to stay true to your beliefs when you come from a poor country and suddenly advance to a world league.
It's my belief that as long as there's big money in sports, there will be corruption and the governments won't be able to change anything. They can't monitor the flow of cash.

When you're rich you start looking for ways to allocate some of your wealth and once you did the obvious like some stocks, real estate, foreign currencies, you start thinking of alternatives like Bitcoin. It doesn't mean bitcoin will be "hijacked" by the rich. When some of us, early adopters decide to sell bitcoin and buy houses and cars, won't that that mean that we will become those rich people that you're so afraid of? One day Bitcoin will become a stable personal account for storing large sums of money and we won't change it.

I'll cut it short:
You can see that Bitcoin became quite expensive at 60k USD a piece and we haven't even managed to overtaken some of the biggest private companies in the world. At a total of 2.1 million Bitcoins, how would you be able to afford it? How would you be able to transact? I feel like the lucky 21 is just right.

Not only this. Satoshi as a known person is a vulnerability for multiple reasons:
1. He can be targeted as a person
-as a taxpayer
-for political views
-for certain qualities of character (emotionally unstable, nervous, autistic)
-for the place he resides in (e.g. if it happened to be a country like North Korea, Russia, or one of the countries currently at war)
-for sexual preferences
2. He could be attacked physically
-kidnapped
-extorted
-could become a target of intelligence operatives (spied on, converted)
3. He could involuntarily became a market catalyst. Imagine hearing about Satoshi's sickness, hospitalization, car accident, death in his family...

In his last interview published yesterday Crawford said that he has 2 options for fights one is with Porter and the other with Pacquiao and he would prefer to fight Pacquiao. I guess it's because of the money. Also, he's going to get 10 mill, not Manny. Manny is getting 40, but I guess most people already know that if they read any of the articles. That's going to be a good fight that's for sure. I hope they won't play the covid card and reschedule.

I feel like most of the community has a positive attitude towards Bitcoin. Those who want a big correction are really people who missed the bull run and would like to buy cheap. For this reason this attitude towards bitcoin is not a very good way to measure the market sentiment. People who are waiting for a correction to buy cheap are the same people who will buy anyway if the correction doesn't come. For this reason I'm as bullish as I was when we broke 20k.

There is a strong support between 40k and 42k. It's not like Bitcoin was looking for anything. There were 2 most likely scenarios. A drop to 47k followed by a continuation or a drop to 40k with a continuation. Without bearish news we won't go lower. Now it's either a dead cat bounce or a continuation of the bull market. Either way, we're going to go up this week.

I hope we'll see more people like you, who say that it's all over and that we're now in a bear market. This usually means exactly the opposite, just like when we were at 30k people were saying that the bull run is over and we're going to have a correction, but we went straight to 50k instead.
Observe the majority and you'll see that the crowd is always wrong.
Some examples? Sure:
-2016 lows, people were selling for $300 saying that it's game over for bitcoin
-2018 highs with first correction to 10k, people, lead by CNBC and Tom Lee were saying that it's just temporary and we'd go to 30k
-2020, people were expecting a correction to 1k to end the 2018-20 bear market, not seeing that the market was already over in 2019 when we went to 14k
-2021, people were expecting 40k to be the top and the end of the bull market
Now, the correction is most likely going to end before 40k with a strong upside move. We have a very high probability of a new high by the end of this year if we don't dip below 30k within the next 6 months.

I don't agree. Licenses are a way for the government to make additional money on the side. They are already earning money when the casino pays its taxes, but licenses give them a secondary source of income from license fees. The government doesn't care if the casino is a scam or not and is not going to audit it prior to issuing a license. All that matters is if the books are in order and all fees are paid. They don't even verify location, because online businesses only need a mailing address and this is usually done by renting out a mailbox in an office building.

Firstly, please fix your quotations. You're doing your best to make your posts look smart and can't even place proper code tags.

Secondly, you're in denial. When you first read about Bitcoin it looked like a scam to you, so you tried hard to prove it is a scam, while it was growing and becoming more popular, but then you thought to yourself: it's too late to change my mind now, I'll keep going, it can't be real. Now you're stuck in this awkward situation where famous people are investing in Bitcoin and you're that grumpy guy in the corner who refuses to join the party or leave and find other entertainment. Instead, you're standing there alone, mumbling: you're all stupid, you'll all lose, I'm the only one who sees through it all.  

Thirdly, who is scamming here? It's a free market where people are free to buy and sell at any point. Ask people who bought a month ago and sold this week if they feel scammed. Ask people who bought a year ago if they feel scammed, ask people who bought 3 years ago if they feel scammed... I could go on.

It's hard for us to speculate. If he keeps looking for scapegoats after every defeat it's going to become more obvious but for now it could be his frustration coming out. People love humble fighters who can take a defeat and learn from it. If you aren't like that just keep your mouth shut in public and have all arguments behind closed doors. What Wilder is doing is the shortest way to being booed at his next fight, or even not getting the next fight at all because nobody is going to want to work with him.

Yes it was.

I remember watching her last video before her attempted getaway and she said that if she's captured for the second time, she's going to get killed. When she was caught for the first time they kept her in the basement and force fed her. Her father's bodyguards were threatening her that if she tries to escape again she's not going to leave that basement alive. There's a new video posted by her last week where she claims that her room was turned into a prison with bars in windows and she can't go anywhere, so at least she wasn't killed.
Her father is a total psycho. For those who didn't know, here's a few facts from his family life:
In 2019 he divorced his wife under Sharia law, without asking for her opinion or even informing her about the proceedings.
His wife took their children and moved to London where he was harassed and threatened by her ex's goons. He demanded she returned children to him but she refused and won the court case against him.
His other daughter Shamsa escaped to the UK in 2000 and was abducted, brought back on a private jet and most likely imprisoned. She hasn't been seen for the last 20 years.
