Bitcoin has gained so much popularity and recognition in the past few years that it rose from nominal prices to almost $69000 in 2020. It however gained hundreds of billions of dollars in capitalization over the years. The situation has changed with both appraisals/approvals and backlashes on the cryptos by some countries, especially government officials.
Inflation is another problem, and they have successfully caused Bitcoin to remain at lower levels compared to its all-time peak of almost $69000. Its market capitalization today is a little above $454 billion, which is still a good value. However, in events that more backlashes and higher inflation negatively affect the crypto some more and finds itself at about $1000. What would be your reaction? Will you turn your back on Bitcoin or has your investment just begun on it?
As for me, my investment has just begun. I have learnt from my past mistake.
If it reaches 1000$ again, then I'd be pretty happy because I'll be able to buy more, in fact, that is what I'll do. I'll buy as many BTC as possible at the time, depending on the time savings I have. atm bitcoin market cap is around 350 billion and total market cap is below 1trillion that's more than half compared to when BTC price was somewhere between 50-60k That's right! Buying more bitcoin is a nice good move in case the market drops to as low as $1000 again and buying it at a cheaper price is really an advantage that any investor doesn't want to slide. But how about if you have already accumulated plenty of bitcoins in the past? How would you react? That's the problem right there, chances are we might get problematic because the options are only buying more or hold. We can't possibly sell that asset in a much lower price than the price when we bought it because that's already a loss. |

Yeah, there's nothing yet. Even the fight will be happening more than a week from now. It will be available before the fight or during the fight day. I will personally take Ancajas whatever the bookies will give him. I am still confident with his surviving skills, he just need to throw more solid converted punches and not to let Martinez dominate once again.
Odds will be there three or two days before the fight, usual for fights between not-so-popular boxers and they are fighting for the 115lbs division which is not so popular to most of American fight fans (just my observation). This is getting exciting and personally, I would be betting for Ancajas to win by decision as he will be fighting smart in this rematch. Like i said before that he should forget that Martinez once has his numbers and just focused on their game plan and bring glory to the Philippines once again. Overtraining and weight issues are things in the past so I hope there will be no alibis this time around. Still a week to go before the fight, and we as boxing fans are really excited that finally we are almost here. Yes, we can wait for the odds to come, for sure they will, bookies are smart and will definitely add this to their list. We just have to be patience just like the rest of the fights wherein odds are release like 1-2 days before the fight itself. If Ancajas lost, then there should be no excuses on his camp. This is already the rematch and should have made the adjustments regarding the weight and overtraining issues. Few more sleeps to go before we can witness this fight and I'm expecting that the odds will be released within 48 hours before the event will start, that time will be enough for us to make some bets on our selected boxers. Few more days left and we can answer the questions on the top of our heads mainly Ancajas's situation this time. If he will be the winner here, a trilogy might happen but if he will get defeated again then I think it's time for him to move to the next weight class because that's already a clear reason that super fly division is not for him anymore. |

I miss the days when there were also world title fights in the undercards. Legendary Manny Pacquiao for instance used to defend his title while on the undercards like during the Lewis-Tyson fight. Glorious days for boxing. Now it's all about playing safe and money.
Boxers these days are moving like they were the promoters or organizers rather than boxers, they are too attached and more interested to know the money business instead of focusing in making their own legacy to be known in the industry just like the good old days. Probably the reason why almost all known boxers in the industry had built their own promotional company after their professional years. |

Let's see if this new coach can guide the team more than Ime so that their efforts won't be in vain.
The new coach needs to work more since they are the runner-up and the expectation for this team is high. He needs to make sure that the team is still intact and the chemistries that they've established while coach Udoka still around should be remain or better to be enhanced now that it's the assistant coach term to mentor the entire team they need to work together and continue the chase on the winning the NBA crown. After reaching the NBA Finals, we are expecting that they will start stronger this season but I'm afraid that is not the case for them this season because as we know, the Boston Celtics now are so fed up with many incidents that have happened lately. Not just in the coaching staff but including the players as well that played a vital role last season. Danilo Gallinaro - Injured (expected to miss the whole season) Robert Williams III - Injured (expected to miss the first two months of the season) Ime Udoka - Suspended for the whole season |

I know Japan is a very rich country too. Japan is the third biggest economy in the world after the US and China. But I'm still wondering how they are willing to pay $20 million dollars just to see Mayweather facing a non-boxer. Or the Japanese just had a different taste when it comes to sports. I heard Rizin is very popular there and they also had superstars just like K1 before and they are paid well.
By the way, Floyd Mayweather is currently in the Philippines. He must be looking for Naruto after dispatching Sakura.
Same here, I'm really curious about that as well. Maybe $20 Million is nothing for them compared to their total earnings from that fight because as far as I know, Japan is also a huge fan when it comes to boxing and bringing a legend to Japan will generate hundreds of millions. Anyway, Mayweather has earned $30 Million for the fight because he won and PPV sales are not included in that yet. On the other hand, yesterday I read a line that Mayweather had a done deal with Connor McGregor. Must be a hoax, but not surprising considering how these athletes talk and hype themselves. I won't be surprised if that bout will happen next year or in December this year, both camps will earn millions again and honestly, they wouldn't let this fight slide as long as the people wanted it. By the way, Floyd Mayweather is currently in the Philippines. He must be looking for Naruto after dispatching Sakura. He should be careful tho because he might find an Otsutsuki in his quest instead of Naruto  |

The winning reward is greater if we bet on Butler but the odds of that boxer winning is very small according to the predictions of members here. How can it maximize winnings when the percentage of winning is very low.
Maximize the chance of winning maybe, not maximize the winning. However, there are odds that's why even though Inoue has a huge chance of winning but you cannot expect your $100 to win $100. Based on the current odds, which is -3300 for Inoue, your $100 will only win $3. converted; https://www.aceodds.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter.htmlI would not risk at that kind of odds, I'd rather look for an odds of 1.50 over 1.03 even if there's a huge chance it will win, one of the reasons is that upsets do happen in any sports, especially in boxing. Well, just let us know the odds for Inoue winning by KO in less than 6 rounds, I think that would be more interesting. |

But I'm wondering though, since the Shakur fight, what will happen if Ancajas can't make the weight again, will the fight go on and Martinez willing to sacrifice with some monetary incentives like Robson did (accepting $50,000, if I'm not mistaken)? Of course, this is different since Ancajas is no longer the champion, but it just makes me wonder this scenario.
You answered your own question, it's different because Ancajas is not a champion, and why would Martinez accept money? for what? If Ancajas will not make the weight again, that means Martinez will remain as the champion, no sweat for him, but unfortunately they will not make money because no fight is gonna happen. Martinez would be happy with that, he does not have to fight anymore and he will keep the belt for long. Well, I hope that will not happen as that will not make the fans happy, I mean, no one should be blamed but our expectation is to see an exciting fight, so you the disappointments. |

It's not that Martinez is not good, but we think that it was just a fluke win and Jerwin should have won the first fight in there is no problem on his side. (I might be biased here, hehehe).
Actually, it's not a biased comment just because we are supporting Ancajas here. It should be noted that even though Ancajas is struggling the whole fight because of that overtraining he did just to reach the required weight, he was able to finish the 12-round fight against the much healthier Martinez and the result ended up in the decision. It's a landslide win for Martinez, not even close, 117-111, 118-111, 118-111. I hope Ancajas will turn that scorecard in favor of him on their rematch. Much better if Ancajas will win via TKO. That would be sweet revenge. Whatever words we put in it, Ancajas still lost the fight unanimously and was defeated dominantly, the scores says it all. Ancajas didn't really expected that Martinez can throw good heavy punches but the good thing is that the Filipino warrior can withstand all of it especially in that state he's in and still managed to finish a full 12-round fight. Two factors why Ancajas lost from the fight, lack of training because of the sudden replacement and second is he is not in good state where he can give a good fight to Martinez. Just like what you have said from your first statement, nothing can be put on words because Ancajas lose that first match he did try but Martinez dominated him and even he survive and ends the entire rounds we see how exhausted he is in trying to fight back and defend himself trying not to be KO. Those reason about his loss might be a good basis to enhance now his winning chance, proper trainings and scouting if what fighting strategy did Martinez use to him and anticipate if how he can manage to outrun him and change the dominance and most of it reclaim his title/belt. What they can do now is to keep a close eye to Ancajas to watch his diet and weight loss regimen so that this time Ancajas will not have the situation he had in their first encounter, that's just his biggest problem because if they can manage to overcome that then we can safely assume that Ancajas will take the belt again. His chances will get bigger and bigger because he is already in a good healthy condition, also, he is not fighting blindly anymore as he is now knowledgeable enough on how Martinez fights. |

Considering the weight division, Shakur is somehow at a disadvantage because he isn't a normal 135 lbs boxer so yeah it is wise to say that it is more difficult for Loma to beat Haney than Shakur.
Yeah, though the weight difference is only 5-8 pounds for each division, but we can look Canelo who're the best on super middleweight but got beaten on light heavyweight division. I don't really think Haney would rank up very soon since many people will judge him if he's scared to defend his belts against other boxer. I wonder what the next opponent for Lomachenko after Ortiz, maybe Tank? considering he have WBA belt. Shakur came from 130 pounds and then declared that he can't shrink his weight anymore so now he's moving 135 pounds, it's still to early to judge Shakur but he should at least test the water first before cracking the boxers in the top. Normally, he should fight through ranks too just like the other boxers. And just like you said, there's no reason for Haney to climb the next division, he doesn't have some problems in his weight too. It's much better for him to defend his belt for now. And if in-case Haney will indeed climb up, Tank Davis is more suitable to fight Loma. I'm surprised with Shakur's decision but it is what it is, when the a boxer feels that he cannot maintain the weight anymore, he need to move up to be able to perform at his best. Haney might stay in his division for awhile, but if he decide, that's alright because there's nothing for him to prove anymore. He already gave us some few signs that he might be going to the next weight class before he declared that he cannot meet the weight needed for his fight against Robson. Personally, he did a good decision because he knew what he needed to do rather than forcing his weight to shrink, he knew that it is much better to have a fresh start in the next division while he is still young. |

I have read news that the Celtics players were caught off guard about Ime Udoka's case. Majority of them found the news in twitter like Jayson Tatum and so they are confused.
And then they are talking about how excited they are to come back this new season to do it all over again and duplicate what they have accomplished - go to the finals. But it seems that the players are affected by it and they are taking about the 'process', as they will be coach by Joe Mazzulla.
Well, they have no choice but to accept the reality, no more Udoka this season and probably the succeeding seasons as well, but they have a job to do, it's an unfinish job, they reach the NBA finals, it's time for them to win this time. But we know it won't be the same anymore because Ime Udoka won't be around guiding the team, it's just too unfortunate for the whole team because they needed their coach now more than ever and they are one of the early favorites to win this upcoming season because of what they achieved recently. Let's see if this new coach can guide the team more than Ime so that their efforts won't be in vain. |

for me its still bearish for me . btc is still bearish thats why the market is not goods it still bear. maybe btc will be drop on 10k soon or 8k thats why iam still bearish foe now.
It's true that we are still waiting for bitcoin to determine where it will stop at its lowest point and is currently continuing, and it is feared that this will continue until the end of this year, although this is just speculation. .. Correct, all of it were just rumors and speculations because there's exactly no way to find out when does the bear market ends and the bull run starts. If only we know when it is, for sure many people will hold unto their coins and there would be nobody selling their assets anymore. Well, all I can say is that we must take advantage of the market while it's still selling at a discounted priced. |

Floyd won another exhibition match in Japan,
I have forgotten about that fight, thanks for reminding. Another easy money for Floyd. Google says that Floyd would get 20 millions if he competes and 30 if he wins that fight, and most funny, 1.5 million if he appears on a press conference. Surprisingly, this exhibition fight last more than 1 round. Damn, 20 - 30 million is a dream money fight for some of the elite boxers that we have right now, Canelo is still the cash cow, but GGG get around that money fighting him. So just imagine those lower weight class champion, I doubt that they can get around how much Floyd is making in exhibition fight in like 6 minutes. I guess that's just one of the perks that a famous boxer could enjoy in their retirement years, $30 Million is already a guaranteed money because there's almost no way that his foe will defeat him in an exhibition fight especially the fight have took place in the ring where he is the dominant. I'm also curious though if the organizers can really get more than what they gave? $30 Million is already a huge money, a money that a lower weight class champion cannot even earn in a year. |

Let's say if Boxer A dominated the whole fight and knocked out Boxer B, will the camp and promoter of Boxer B activate a rematch even if they know that there chances is already small?
In that particular situation, I think Boxer B will still activate the rematch clause even if they know the chances are small. There's a preparation for that in the first place. Aside from that, Boxer B and his camp will never ever think that their winning chance is small. Almost every loser wants a rematch as they want to get their revenge. Even Boxer B will have a small share of the purse split, as stated on the rematch clause, that's still a good contract to consider. And if they won, a big recognition and will open for another good contract in a possible trilogy. Yes and just like what I stated in my past quote, the Boxer B's camp can still do whatever they think best for their boxer whether they want to activate it or not. Also, health can be an issue if they will pursue a fight that has been proven already as in that specific situation, Boxing A already knocked out Boxer B, so that means there still a high chance that it will be repeated again. Anyway, this fight is different because Spence and Crawford have a different situation, Crawford might win the 1st fight but he will be at disadvantage if a rematch or trilogy will take longer before it'll happen and that's expected because he is already getting older and in fact, Crawford will turn 35 tomorrow. |

The biggest mistake I see people make with bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies, and or investing just what so ever is the absolute lack of reading and self education I see. The simple fact of the matter is most people refuse to take the time to actually sit down and educate themselves. I always hear people say they just don’t have the time to sit down and learn but that’s just excuse.
Tbh I don't feel bad when I see those kind of newbies lose money in bitcoin and other crypto. Their idea of cryptocurrencies is it's just going up that it doesn't matter to them whatever price they will buy. People like them are always doomed to fail when diving into different investments. Most of the newbies are not the researcher type who studies the crypto first before making their move and start to invest some coins that they'd see profitable in the future, most of them have just invested blindly without knowing the coin/project first and it's either they know someone who got rich by specific that coin/project or it's just pure trend that's why along the way they lose money because they didn't understand it. |

That makes the three of them inside the same team an injury prone namely Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and John Wall. However, if they can maintain their health throughout the whole season, I bet the Clippers will be sweeping teams or will reach the conference finals. There will be some high expectations for the team now because their roster is now stronger than recent season.
And if you guys remember last season, when Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are having their respective recovery periods because of their injuries, the Clippers show they can still win despite the absence of their superstars. They are having a good run without their superstars. It does mean that the Clippers are having good support from their role players. Hopefully, they will be a fully healthy team this season to increase more the competition in the Western Conference. Yup and they managed to get their team to participate in the play-in tournament and almost got to play in the playoffs when PG got back but unfortunately, he was again sidelined because of the Covid-19 issues, IIRC. Anyway, now that they are all back with their new additional asset, hopefully everything will be fine this time so that we can see some interesting games in the West because the Clippers already got what it takes to defeat any team, their only challenge is to avoid getting serious injury throughout the whole season. |

What's your ultimate choice? Or both?  I think our choices are still in both, BNB and ETH. The two are interrelated. If we choose one, of course there is something unattractive on one of the coins. But the Ethereum network has brought success to most projects. Likewise with the BNB or BSC network. But for the time being I use BNB more often, because swap fees are much cheaper than Ethereum. I agree, there is exactly no point in choosing between the two said coins if you can always have both BNB and Ethereum in your portfolio, it's just a matter of perspective on how will you use BNB and ETH. Yes, these two coins are different but they have their own reason why they still exist up until this day, but as of now, we know that Binance is quite famous because they are much cheaper just like you said and their platform is user friendly while Ethereum is slightly avoided because their gas fees are quite expensive but when it comes to hodling, both of them can be profitable in the future. |

The promoter won't possibly let Crawford or Spence to activate that rematch if the outcome of their first fight is a knockout or TKO, if that will happen, the defeated boxer won't have a choice but to move-on on the situation because a rematch won't give much difference as the first fight is already clear enough to know who's more dominant.
Not truly aware of that but as far as my knowledge about boxing agreements is concerned, that doesn't count as one of the reasons why a rematch won't happen. Regardless if the fight was finished and ended in a TKO, the purpose of the rematch is simply, to have a rematch. If Boxer A is dominant in the first match, it doesn't mean that Boxer B won't stand a chance to get his revenge in the rematch. There's always a chance for turning the table in favor of the loser in the first match. That's what a rematch is all about no matter how dominant the winner of the first match is. Let's say if Boxer A dominated the whole fight and knocked out Boxer B, will the camp and promoter of Boxer B activate a rematch even if they know that there chances is already small? Also, a rematch won't be marketable just like the first encounter because people already knows who win and there's no need to go for such depth because Boxer A already proved that he is more dominant and stronger than Boxer B. Nevertheless, you have a point that the camp can still choose to do so if they wanted it even if the fight won't be getting that much revenue again, the thing is they still want to try and settle the score. And if by chance Boxer B won the rematch, then a huge revenue can be expected if a trilogy will happen. |

I get that Ancajas chance is only 50%-60% because Martinez is also aggressive and knows his way how to control the fight, the main disadvantage of Ancajas that time is he is not on his 100% because of his situation and that made him so fatigue, and Martinez took advantage of it. That situation could be avoided but I think his camp didn't know what to do that's why it's good for him that he have his own nutritionist now. He only needed to meet the weight needed because after that I know he can defeat Martinez, dominantly.
On the betting side, I think Ancajas will be the underdog this time, so if that is the case then that will be an advantage for us.
If Ancajas meet the weight requirement without any problem, I can say his chance of winning is around 70% and up. He is able to absorb Martinez punches, he has know Martinez fighting style and there are lots of available strategies to counter Martinez and they are not that difficult to implement. If Ancajas is in full condition, I would think that he has more chance of beating Martinez than the other way around. Right! That's the thing that he need to overcome first because he can't have this upcoming fight if he can't shrink his weight to make the required weight, and if he won't have some problems about that then there's indeed a high chance that the outcome will be much different this time because he now knows what could Martinez give him in the fight and how strong he is. He can do it, he's still at his prime and this is not his first time going for a belt that was once his. |
