^  It's a shame that Grasso vs Araujo was cancelled.  That and the main event between Vera and Cruz are the only match ups worthy for a main card imho.  These other ones are good but for prelims.  This event is just like the last event.  Lots of fillers but pretty sure some of the are sleepers...  Besides the main event, Bruno Silva vs GM3 could be good and Landwehr vs Onama.

Anyway, I'm back and forth on who to pick for the main event.  Who you guys got?  Take note that San Diego is where Cruz is from.

And for me the fights you see there and that I have not erased are what for me is not able to look at, 1st was the Marlon Vera VS Dominick Cruz which for me Vera will really need to be more technical here, but will look further in details, 2nd Nate Landwehr VS David Onama, 3rd was Gerald Meerschaert VS Bruno Silva, and lastly the fitting kitten last event that has been canceled, Ariane Lipski VS Priscila Cachoeira,

To be honest I just like to use the force when doing the draft. I find its better to go by pure rankings of who's left rather than second guess them with my own personal tastes. Regardless, with covid and all the injuries, the last couple of years have proven that long-term success is more about ongoing team management.

You could get your Dream Team in the draft but when those guys get knocked out (for one reason or the other), it pays to be timely in finding a worthy replacement.

... and now most have ended up not receiving the 13% and not receiving back even their own money.
And I would not be surprised if Hodlnaut has withdrawn their 6% long ago. Because the whole risk goes to the customers (I'm even surprised they've offered such a big part of the profit to the customers).

I bet there are many more people holding coins on centralized exchanges and similar interest earning platforms thinking - it won't happen to them, they are to big to fall.
Many times this services trick users throwing out decentralized terms, adding swap features and connecting with shitcoin chains BNB and UST, like Hodlnaut did just few months ago.
One thing that I hope from all this services stopping withdrawals and going bankrupt is that it could teach more people about importance of real decentralization.

I'd say since Tonardo Cash is serving an ERC20 tokens which is centralized, I don't believe they can mix those tokens and didn't link with the previous transactions because the validator will know where the token are send to.

Your account will get flagged by centralized exchanges since they're cooperate with money laundering company, they will look with your previous transaction and will know the token came from. If you using a bad privacy mixer, they will know the address is came from a mixer and even you're using a good mixer, they will know you're concealing your transaction.

However since Chipmixer is also a centralized mixer, I'm worried since it's possible if Chipmixer get shutdown, or it's possible Chipmixer will only available on Tor network? Obviously google will follow any rules from government.

Probably because more users are using the gambling platform and they prefer to use OWL token on the gambling site. There can be ways the token is promoted on the gambling site that makes people using the gambling site to buy it. As people that are using the gambling site increase, the token market worth will also increase, thus the price as well.

This the good thing of a decentralized platform, ^{(censorship-resistant)} authority can only suspends its website domain or hosting but it can still be used freely.
But since it's dependent to github repo, which can be sanctioned too like they did to Iran and other countries suspending github accounts or blocked the access of github with US request which they will do it lately, after realizing it's useless suspending only the website and not its whole process.
I hope there's also a decentralized code repositories ^{(better if there is already)} for decentralized platform's to preserve its codes.

New policy:  I present myself as a fearsome “Bitcoin maxi” to altcoiners, and I chat about my favourite altcoins to Bitcoiners.  Thus, I can discover who my true friends are.  This optimizes for the human element.  So does intransigent opposition to scams.

I have been intending to write an essay with my own take on Bitcoin maximalism, but I am not sure if this forum is the right place to publish it.

I may be wrong, but it does not seem to me that we should expect any kind of bull market this year, and probably not even in the first two quarters of next year. It is simply too early for that, and the global world market will only feel the real challenges in the coming months. I will be skeptical even if the price reaches $30k, because then we are just going back to where we were before the idea of the genius from South Korea collapsed. If that hadn't happened, maybe the bottom would have been somewhere around $25k, but that now remains only in the sphere of speculation.

All in all, I'm really interested in how things will play out in August in relation to your analysis, although I admit that I'm more focused on long-term goals.

Exactly, it is completely unpredictable except over long periods:  if usage continues to grow - no matter what the use whether it be transactional or protector etc - and new supply follows the programmed curve, then the price will go up.  It is just that one can not predict anything over shorter timeframes.

I didn't think that he meant "no other project in the cryptospace should succeed" but that if bitcoin were to die, it would indicate some fatal flaw with crypto in general which would mean that no other crypto would succeed.  Perhaps it is a subtle difference, but that was the way I understood it.  :-)

Although the future of bitcoin isn't as certain as the future of gold, investing in bitcoin is definitely more profitable than investing in gold. What we need to do is diversify our investment portfolio.

Both are very good assets, each with different pros and cons, so holding both is advisable. Bitcoin for speculation and gold can be a safe store because of its certainty and low volatility. In this way, we will limit our risk and maximize our profits.

Edit: just an FYI, everyone should keep in mind when voting for IR spots that having more than normal is a good idea with Covid and all.

Jake Paul is calling out Andrew Tate now after his last two opponents haven’t been able to find their way into the ring. I think Andrew Tate is one of the few people that is hated more than Jake Paul is. I’d love to see this fight and I’m not sure how well Andrew Tate can box, but given his ego I think there’s a decent shot of a fight like this happening and drawing an audience. The only thing is that I’m not sure Andrew Tate needs the money.

Generally there is always a difference between Bitcoin and Gold. As we consider a fixed asset then gold can be one, even though it has very little volatility. Bitcoin on the other hand is the most volatile as its price can go up or down in shortest possible of time. If you think of a bearish market then many will favor gold and if you consider as bull then nothing will be comparable with Bitcoin.

However, if we deserve bitcoin based on the future and it's potential, Bitcoin will definitely be ahead from all aspects.
