Volatility in Bitcoin is not as extreme as it used to be. We will see less dramatic price swings the more established it becomes. I would absolutely be comfortable with buying at $15,000 if it went up that high again. Just from it's scarcity alone it is logical to assume the price will continue to increase over time and the inflation of fiat currencies should help in it's price appreciation.

I was surprised to find out that Namecheap is now using BTCpay. There is still the BitPay option but BTCpay is right next to it. The minimum amount of funds you can add to your account is only $1 and they are also using bech32 addresses for their invoices and you can pay with Lightning.

~snip~ Have you collected your tickets yet? If not, you have ONLY 5 DAYS! Start collecting now! It's easy: buy tickets for 25,000 satoshi each, or wager 0.005 BTC to earn a ticket. Hurry!
Well, till now I have collected 16 golden tickets only. Total amount of tickets showing nearly 5.4 million! So the probability of winning is tiny for me. And still few days left to collect tickets. Aren't we going to see another Bonanza period before this round ends? My odds are even worse. I withdrew my Bitcoin right before the bonanza period a few weeks ago and wasn't able to take advantage of the opportunity. So far I only have 2 tickets. I'm surprised I even have that many because even with a low balance I was able to wager 1 million sats.

Bitcoin is censorship resistant. Centralized payment systems like Google Pay can close your account anytime they feel like it and Google gets to keep your money. The tradeoffs in convenience and fees are necessary to enable a monetary system independent of government or corporate control.

I'm looking forward to seeing The Monster defend his belts on Halloween night. The oddsmakers see this as a mismatch. I don't consider Moloney to be a bad opponent but Inoue is just too good. I predict we will see an early stoppage. Also Mikaela Meyer is fighting for her first world title on the undercard and that could end up stealing the spotlight since there is a bit of bad blood. Meyer's been very outspoken and is trying to get in Brodnicka's head with her constant taunting on social media.

The developers of Wasabi Wallet must be feeling nervous right now. This is why they make you agree to certain terms and conditions when you first install the software; to try and cover themselves legally should governments start going after mixing services.

Trump's chances continue to dwindle. FiveThirtyEight is only giving him a 12% chance of winning. Two days ago he was at 13% and a week ago he was at 14%. At the beginning of the month he was at 20%. This forecast is only considering the electoral votes each state represents and not the popular vote where Trump's adds are even lower.
Opinion polls never gave Trump a significant chance to win the 2020 elections at any point. However, there is a sharp difference in the odds being given by the opinion polls (FiveThirtyEight just aggregates poll data) and the odds being given by the gambling sites. According to the polls, the probability of a Trump win is within the 10%-15% range. On the other hand, according to the gambling sites it is 30%-35%. FiveThirtyEight does more than just aggregating. Their 'election forecast' takes other factors into consideration. According to their site: Our model relies mainly on state polls, which it combines with demographic, economic and other data to forecast what will happen on Election Day.In 2016 they gave Trump a better chance than anybody else. Many people on the left got upset when they said Trump Is Just A Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton. Prediction markets and casinos give Trump a better chance because a lot of early money was put on him. At the beginning of the year it was assumed that he would have an easy re-election. Then the pandemic happened and his response to it was a complete disaster. If you only look at recent weeks then we can see that this is more reflective of our current reality. A lot more people are betting on Biden and those numbers are starting to catch up to the odds we're seeing from pollsters.

There are plenty of casinos where you can gamble in and they won't ask you for ID and it's highly unlikely that you will ever get in trouble legally. The problem with being a minor and gambling is that your brain is not fully developed and it is much more likely that you will be irresponsible and play in a much riskier way. If bitcoin was around when I was 15 and I discovered online casinos I am certain that I would have wagered more than I can afford to lose. Probably would have lost all my savings after half an hour of martingaling on dice.

Congrats to everyone who bet on Lopez. On the broadcast they said that more people bet on him but there was more money on Loma. The whales were mistaken to underestimate Lopez and they made a lot of small betters very happy.
Loma deserves a ton of credit for being a fighter who is not worried about protecting an undefeated record and always wanting to face the biggest challenges. He has had an excellent hall of fame worthy career and will be champion again.
Lopez and his dad are talking about moving up in weight. I would like to see him against Davis, Haney, and Ryan Garcia but if he moves up there is also Ramirez, Taylor, Prograis and even Zepeda which would all be very interesting.

The drug war has failed. I believe if we decriminalize drug use the world would be a better place. It would take power away from violent cartels and the prison population would be drastically reduced, saving tax payers money that could go towards more beneficial things like healthcare and education.

I think the stringent KYC requirements are far more harmful. The unbanked population are the ones most likely to use bitcoin as a payment method but they have very few ways for them to acquire it without having to jump through hoops.

The scores should have been much closer but the right man won in my opinion. Lomachenko started off way too slow. He made up for it with some very dominant late rounds but ultimately it was not enough. This is a stacked division and there are also options in the surrounding weight classes so I believe Loma is still capable of being a great champion and winning more belts after this setback.

Top Rank is closing the year with a really good schedule. There's this fight, Inoue-Moloney, Berchelt-Valdez, and a Tyson Fury tune up coming up.

If it is a true decentralized exchange then it should be possible for scams to be listed. I don't know if their governance model has any way to prevent this. That's why it is important to do your research before trading.

Do you have the same issue with CP ?
Error 522 Connection timed out
Can't play multiplier.
Same here. Can't connect. You must be cheating, that's why you're having problems. I never cheat and everything is always perfect.

The most likely scenario is that Loma will win but I think too many people are underestimating Lopez. We've seen Loma dropped and bruised up since he moved up to lightweight and Lopez is a brutal puncher. There isn't any outcome that would really surprise me because each fighter has the right style to win the fight.
