@bittraffic. There might be a misunderstanding between Tiki and the team of Nate Diaz. According to other stories, it was Khamzat and Kevin Holland who were fighting. Tiki was there and stopped them. After everything was settled, Tiki was standing with Khamzat when Nate Diaz and his team arrived. They began throwing water bottles on Tiki and kicking him hehehehe.



An altercation between Khamzat Chimaev and Kevin Holland sparked a backstage melee that ultimately led to the UFC 279 pre-fight press conference being cancelled on Thursday.

That’s according to UFC President Dana White, who confirmed the initial incident between Chimaev and Holland started the problems that only escalated after he went on stage to start the press conference at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Multiple sources also confirmed that once Holland went on stage to start the press conference along with his opponent Daniel Rodriguez that a second altercation exploded that involved Chimaev, Diaz and their respective teams.

It’s not clear if any additional fighting broke out, but water bottles were thrown between Chimaev and Diaz’s camps, according to sources, which was at least part of the reason why White ultimately decided to cancel the press conference before things got more out of hand.

I am not quite certain why the Rams would not give the ball to Cam Akers after Stafford has showed that his elbow might not be 100% and the Bill's defense is strong this game and playing more than 100% hehe. It appears Akers might only be the introduction to my fantasy team. I am speculating that Tyreek Hill is next to have no or lower than projected points. Lamar next after Hill. I might trade them for a bag of peanuts by week 5.

@everyone. What is the video gaming sector in this comparison? Does this include Nvidia and AMD graphic cards? I think with electricity shortages and the prices inceasing, the government might begin to enter and regulate proof of work mining. This has been an argument before, however, the validity of the argument is only beginning to become a reality.

If the energy usage of the video gaming sector includes graphic cards and if proof of work mining will be regulated, I reckon it might give a good argument for some cryptocoins to maintain their Asic resistance for as long as possible.

This might be where I have made my biggest mistake during the draft. Lamar Jackson as my quarterback. He is not my first choice. My first choice is the new MVP Josh Allen, second choice Patrick Mahomes then my third choice is Justin Herbert. Lamar was my fourth choice, however, I was uncertain. This news makes my uncertainty on him quite certain hehehe. Is the waiver wire open and available already?



Lamar Jackson's contract situation has been dragged out beyond the point of discomfort, but it might finally be heading toward a resolution.

Jackson told reporters on Wednesday he and the Ravens are still discussing extension terms, and he set a deal-making deadline for Friday. Jackson also pleaded ignorance when it came to how close he was to coming to an agreement.

"I have no clue," he said, via the Washington Post. "You have to ask the guy who I'm talking to."

@bittraffic. I disagree. Li Jingliang might win, however, it will not be risk free. I speculate that El Cucuy might be very underestimated for this fight. He is given by the oddsmakers a 3.30 which might be very pessimistic of them hehehe. I think Uncle Dana has made the correct decision to let Tony Ferguson fight versus Li Jingliang because the Leech is not very good.

They might not be trash talking at each other, however, Canelo and GGG very much hate each other hehe. It began during their rematch when Canelo was caught using a banned chemical in boxing which is a steroid and which also can improve performance of athletes. GGG talked about this in press conferences and Canelo did not like this. Ever since the rematch, they have hated each other. See the latest conferences for this fight. Canelo was telling the media that GGG is an asshole. GGG was only quiet, however, in some articles it was mentioned that GGG said that Canelo's behavoir in the press conference might be the side effects of steroids heheheheh.

@Sithara007. Realistically Canelo can knockout this old version of GGG through body punches, I reckon. However, GGG is not be very easy to knockout. He has not been knockout in his whole career.

It might also be because for the amount of electricity bitcoin uses, not much people really use bitcoin as a medium of exchange in their lives and not much stores accept it which makes some the negative storylines from mainstream media have an argument. I am not telling everyone they are right or wrong, however, they have an argument.

I might have forgotten, however, has it been mentioned that Celsius' head of lending is also a pornstar? Her name is Jessica Khater and it appears much of her pictures and videos were removed from the internet. They have become very rare, someone should recreate them into NFTs hehehehe.

I see something head shaking. Why is something that dumped -80% called only a correction? If this is a correction I would be very scared to witness what a crash might look like hehehe.

It appears coinmarketcap.com is trying to trick our minds and to avoid a panic if another correction of -80% occurs again hehehhe.

@dansus021. However, has anyone considered that it might be different this time? We are witnessing the world changing where it began with the coronavirus pandemic which affected the global economy negatively and this was followed by Russia's invasion on Ukraine which the sanctions on Russia has caused supply shortages on energy and some commodities which also caused inflation. There are also some articles being published that rotating blackouts in America and Europe will begin.

I just remembered this article where it said that the CEO of Circle has denied the rumors that Circle was going to collapse because it had exposure to Genesis, Blockfi, Celsius, 3 Arrows Capital and Galaxy Holdings. This is head shaking if it is true because what if Binance is converting everything to BUSD not for efficiency. What if they are doing this to avoid a bank run?



Allaire’s Twitter thread came in response to a running rumor by a Twitter user, Geralt Davidson, claiming that Circle has lost billions of dollars over the years as it injected high incentives for crypto-oriented banks such as Signature and Silvergate to convert their cash deposits into USDC.

In addition, USDC lendings, being exposed to troubled companies like Genesis, BlockFi, Celsius, Galaxy, and 3AC, have caused Circle at risk of a bank run as billions of USDC won’t be returned in time, Davidson added.

Also, this is something I have mentioned on July about USDC.

@bittraffic. There would be no difference. The trading pairs representing as USD will be listed as BUSD. It is similar to FTX as I mentioned already. The only difference is FTX uses USDC as their main stablecoin and listed it as USD. Howevever, you can still deposit BUSD, TUSD and USDP and it will be autoconverted to USDC.

@NeuroticFish. The cryptospace was hyperdollarized by USDT. Before 2017, much of the exchanges listed their much of their altcoin trading pairs against bitcoin.

@slaman29. I am not sure. However, if the story and the ending is known already in the books, why would the oddsmakers and some of the fiat sportsbooks offer their odds for the series? It might be similar to the Game of Thrones where some parts had a different story from the book. The final chapters of the book series of the Game of Thrones were also unfinished.

No unless Tether and USDT was ordered by the government to be shutdown. Binance is only trying to use a similar strategy as FTX, I reckon. In FTX all of your deposited USDC, TUSD, BUSD and USDP are called just USD in the platform, however, the exchange uses USDC is their main dollar derivative for liquidity. However, if you withdraw you can still withdraw through USDC, TUSD, BUSD and USDP. USDT in FTX is separate and still called USDT.

@sportsbet.io. Would there be an interest for the sportsbook to offer odds on the next great tv series after the Game of Thrones hehehe. The new series title is the House of the Dragon. This is also from the same creators of the Game of Thrones. I reckon there are many fans of the series and the book of George R.R. Martin in the forum who might also want to gamble on entertainment bets hehe.



House Of The Dragon Betting Odds & Season 1 Predictions: Who Will Claim The Throne?

Sportsbooks are picking up where they left off with Game of Thrones, by offering a number of House of the Dragon betting odds markets for fans to conquer. Known as ‘entertainment props,’ oddsmakers have long posted wagering options for fans to predict plot lines and the eventual outcomes of their favorite programs, and no scripted show has seen more betting turnout than Game of Thrones.

Aside from the popular ‘Who will be seen first?’ options, the television version of futures markets will let fans predict which character will ultimately sit on the throne at the end of the show’s first season.

Siblings Aegon and Princess Rhaenyra sit at the top of the list, available at -125 and +225 respectively, with King Viserys’ brother Daemon close behind at +300.

@ChiBitCTy. This is also a very good game between the Rams versus the Bills! How will you bet this with the Bills playing in the Rams' stadium? Home advantage is on the Rams, however, the Bills are better than the Rams.  Also, this is Thursay night football hehehe. The Rams being the underdog might win but also take +2.5 for protection?

He might be talking about QR codes hehehe. They were looking suspicious when I saw them for the first time because I did not know what those were before. In any case he might also be talking about something similar to this email scam described in this article.

Also, Livecasino is complete except for having its own sportsbook. Is there a plan for the site to have one?

Also, Michael Saylor has no capital gains where the IRS can find a reason to tax hehe. However, he can ask from the IRS to give him a tax break because of his big capital losses on bitcoin of more than $1 billion hehehehe. He can make a settlement with the government to use the tax break for the income tax hehehehe.

It might only be the beginning. I reckon South Africa might also bring one of the largest inflows of new adopters to the cryptospace before the next bull market begins and it might also be the cause for the next bull market. Binance's partnership with the Nigerian government to create a digital economic zone might be an indicator that Africa is the next jurisdiction of interest after America and Asia.



Binance is partnering with Nigeria to build an Export Processing Zone Authority (NEPZA). The aim is to create a digital economic area similar to Dubai.

The report stated that the Nigerian authorities intend to build a zone that will be similar to Dubai’s virtual free zone. The space upon completion will be the first in the West African region.

NEPZA’s Managing Director, Adesoji Adesugba, said the country’s “goal is to engender a flourishing virtual free zone to take advantage of a near trillion dollar virtual economy in blockchains and digital economy.”

Agreed, to mention that this is an attack on bitcoin is head shaking. No one can escape the tax collectors in America hehehe. They are famous for this. This is also why the saying in life you cannot escape death and taxes was invented because the IRS always makes everyone pay their taxes.

If Michael Saylor is being charged for tax evasion, this is because he did not pay his taxes, this is not because he holds bitcoin.
