A mismatch? An easy win for Inoue? Not even a big challenge for Inoue? Can't blame some people's view about the match as the distance between Naoya Inoue and Paul Butler is really that wide and long gap. I can't even think of a way how Butler can survive the wrath of Inoue.
Agreed. The odds for this fight might be 1.05 for Naoya Inoue and 8.50 to 9.00 for Paul Butler. The ending will also certainly be another knockout for Inoue. Where the oddsmakers might place the over or the under might be on 7.5 rounds and they might favor the under, I reckon. However, Paul Butler was knocked out only once and it was 7 years ago. I speculate that Inoue will knock Butler on the 10th or 11th round. Spot on mate, current odds are: Inoue, Naoya - 1.02 Butler, Paul - 9.80 We don't have the under and over rounds, but yeah it could be +/- 7.5, I reckon. I speculate that it might be earlier than 10th or 11th round, less than that. Butler might survived the earlier rounds, but for sure he will be soften up later and then Naoya will go for the knockout round 6th to round 9th. We should give Paul Butler more merit because he is only 33 years old and in the prime of his career not like Inoue's last opponent who is a very good boxer but presently very old for the sport. @Boafeng. It appears that the speculation on Inoue vs. Fulton might become a reality hehehe. Inoue might become the next Pacman. Former two-division world champion Naoya ‘Monster’ Inoue plans on moving up to 122 to take on super bantamweight champions Stephen Fulton and Murodjon Akhmadaliev after he finishes collecting the final belt at 118 against WBO champion Paul Butler on December 13th.Source https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/08/naoya-inoue-wants-stephen-fulton-fight-after-paul-butler/ |

Get well soon Hhampuz. I had covid on June or assumed to have covid hehe. I was in the house of my friend and everyone who went there got sick. Half of the people tested positive, the other half negative. I was one of the people who tested negative but I had one of the worst headaches of my life. I was feeling very sick for a day. The next days I had a cold, however, I felt okay.

@morvillz7z. I did not know there was a veto or votes on trades. Are trades similar to claiming new players from the waiver wire? In any case, if the trades are between participants within our league going into a trade deal with each other, I think there should be a process for transparency and fairness. If it is claiming players from the waiver wire, does this imply that some of my claims were vetoed?

It appears that that our new friend Jim Cramer has made another tweet telling everyone to sell the cryptos and the nfts and the ipos and the SPACs before they take your life's savings. No more nonsense!Source https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1564758962725130241This is what happened to bitcoin 30 minutes after he made the tweet hehehe. Can everyone see it now?  |

Many fighters do not recover from the type of knockout that Leon Rocky Edwards has given to Kamaru Usman according to former lightweight champion Khabib. We cannot be quite certain if he is correct with his analysis, however, Khabib has also made a similar prediction on El Cucuy after he was beaten by Justin Gaethje and he was very much correct. Khabib Nurmagomedov has said he is unsure how Kamaru Usman will react to his knockout defeat by Leon Edwards, admitting: “A lot of people don’t recover.”
“I’m aware that the trilogy is already in the works,” Khabib added. “I believe [Usman] can beat Leon Edwards, but after such a knockout, a lot of people don’t recover. It will be interesting to see, but I would love to see the trilogy.”Source https://news.yahoo.com/lot-people-don-t-recover-145032420.htmlIt must be difficult to recover from such loss. Its shocking to see yourself dominating the division for a longtime and fall instantly. Usman was winning their fight and then suddenly drop. If the resounding headkick keeps replaying in his mind, he may not recover. First cut being the deepest does not apply to his loss though. Its not his first time, he'll get over it. It might not only be about Kamaru Usman being the Nigerian Nightmare, pound for pound best or the money that he was having for dominating the division. I think that it might also be more about how he was knocked out! In any case, I speculate the odds of the rematch might be similar to the first fight. Leon Edwards will be underestimated again and Leon Edwards will prove everyone that we are wrong again hehe. |

I hope there's a way to estimate from empirical data how much of the time he's actually right, using a boolean algebra model or something.
Because I'm starting to see a phenomenon, the oppisite action of the decision you make is usually the correct one.
Why would we complicate this? There is a simpler way to estimate this by only using a chart and mark them with the date of the predictions. I saw one of Jim Cramer on social media but I cannot find it anymore. It looked very much similar to this image hehehe. This cleary shows that many of the experts in mainstream financial media are so very wrong.  |

Also, for anyone who really read the article, I reckon Pete Rizzo is desperate to convince the readers that the limitations of bitcoin are only short term in this statement.
they believe that these crypto assets and services are profiting off the short-term limitations of Bitcoin,
However in the same article he mentioned a commitment to slow software changes.
3. A Commitment to Slow Software Changes and Enfranchising Users
This appears for me as a request for everyone to be patient for updates that might never arrive. There is nothing wrong with this. Bitcoin should continue being a store of value if the community and the developers want it and leave the other developments, experimentations and scams to other projects.

Jake Paul posted on twitter that he just got an opponent for October and he’ll be announcing it this week. https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1563650857803173889I’m really hoping it’s Andrew Tate. That is the fight to make right now for the money and one that is actually be excited to watch and maybe even pay for. Fingers crossed it isn’t some no name boxer at the end of his career. Andrew Tate would be the very best opponent for him if they want much payperviews from the younger fans hehehe. However, from Jake's tweet it appears to be someone else, I reckon. Someone who might have fought one of the Paul brothers already and had the victory? I predict the next opponent might be KSI. KSI has fought and knocked out Luis Pineda recently. He is a Mexican professional boxer who has a record of 2 wins, 5 losses hheehehe. @Baofeng. Can you suggest a list of the top 10 boxing events or fights for September that everyone should be watching. |

@cr1776. Agreed. Also, if those articles and stories about the government of Iran mining bitcoin through their chosen delegates of miners are real, I reckon yes, it would not be very shocking if they choose to use bitcoin instead of an alternative to SWIFT.

According to this Dune analytics dashboard page by a user called @phabc, Tether has banned 716 addreses already with $420 million of USDT held by the addresses in total. Circle has banned 82 addresses with $4 million held in total. We can use this information if there are updates on Tether and if Paolo will wait for instruction from the government concerning funds that came from Tornado Cash. https://dune.com/phabc |

Someone should create a survey for those 28% of Russians who bought bitcoin and ask them what they used bitcoin for, I reckon. Would it be for speculation, gambling, buying something in the darknet, moneylaundering, day trading altcoins or buying regular items. I am quite certain much of them would answer that they have used bitcoin for speculation and day trading altcoins.

@Coin_trader. I speculate that because of this bear market, the gambling sites might be forced to offer more exclusive tables with lower minimum bets to be more competetive in attracting customers from a smaller pool of people of gamble. I also think that gambling sites should promote those games with lower house edge so that they can keep their players longer and they would avoid losing their money very quickly hehehe. If they lose money quickly they might play in another site.
Yeah bro. This is exactly my reason to brought up this exclusive tables with lower minimum bet to let small players enjoy playing on the rgular blackjack table. Evolution gaming itself is the one that choose to increase the minimum bet in fiat right after this bear market occur. I remember that there a lot of regular table before with 1$ minimum bet and those tables like infinity blackjack offers 0.1$ minimum bet which is not available nowadays. Only exclusive table by casino is the only way to make this happened and I hope livecasino will consider this soon. I personally limiting myself on playing my typical gambling budget due to current bear market but since the minimum bet is 5$, I was forced to play using bankroll that capable to withstand a 20 lose streak just to give a better winning probabilty against house edge. Do these table games creators like Evolution or Infinity exclusively make the games only for casinos in the cryptospace? I am not quite certain of this, however, I think they might want to maintain their revenue counted in bitcoins instead of dollars or euros. And people looking for small house edge games with small stakes can already "bet behind" good BJ players they've spotted.
That is a good idea, I might try using that tactic hehehe. Thank you for sharing. |

@Hueristic. The OP and the next first posts in the pages after this until draftday hehe. One other thing just occurred to me; what will the prize distribution be?
Champion: 0.02BTC
2nd Place: 0.005BTC
Or something else?
This is also a yes for me, however, I am okay with anything if the group wants something else. |

@estenity. It would not be a good idea for who? The regulators or the investors in the cryptospace? It is certainly very clear that in this bear market more strict regulations on stablecoins are coming and this might affect the stength and how powerful the next bull market will be. However, I speculate the stablecoin issuers might also fractionalize and print more out of thin air hehehehe.

Maximalism isn't fanaticism. It isn't bad; it's neutral. It's similar to being stereotypical versus being racist. True, but to be far we really don't have an official definition of "maximalism". Simply put, a Bitcoin maximalist is a person who supports the ideals of bitcoin, and fights FUD. That's how I understand it. Being toxic or non-friendly on altcoiners is reasonable, because having multiple currencies that thrive to give a solution to the same problem is somewhat against the ideals. I identify as a Bitcoin maximalist. You do not support the freedom of other developers to create other projects in the cryptospace that might be better than bitcoin? Also, would you support those projects being developed in Ethereum to be developed in Bitcoin's ecosystem instead? I reckon if the Bitcoin developers and community were supportive of this there would not be any growth in the Ethereum ecosystem. It would also be arguable if Ethereum would be created. |

I am sharing this article without antagonizing anyone and also sharing it with much neutrality. What are your latest comments, thoughts and opinions on Bitcoin maximalism?The replies of the older members of the forum who joined before 2015 will certainly have more importance in this because they have witnessed the changes and the growth of the cryptospace from being simple to presently being billions of dollars of crazy hehee. Bitcoin Maximalists are skeptical and critical of claims to technical advances made by other cryptocurrency softwares, and seek to maintain and bolster a culture of scrutiny.
Still, they acknowledge there are new services and products made available in the crypto sector, and that the product of this effort can provide learnings to Bitcoin.
However, they believe that these crypto assets and services are profiting off the short-term limitations of Bitcoin, and thus their use should be discouraged in order to inspire and fund the development of like offerings built on the Bitcoin network.Read in full https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterizzo/2022/08/25/how-to-be-a-bitcoin-maximalist/?sh=76bcd4897036 |
