2461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: July 07, 2022, 04:55:34 AM
According to Floyd Mayweather, those rumors that the negotiations between Spence's team and Crawford's team to organize this fight for October is only fake news. Is Mayweather also speculating that the teams of Spence and Crawford are also using a similar tactic as his team and team Pacman? The tactic is make everyone wait until the money is very big enough hehehe.



Floyd Mayweather shut down rumors about the Errol Spence Jr vs Terence Crawford undisputed clash.

The newly inducted Hall of Famer cut off the rumored October date for Spence vs Crawford during a press conference with MMA star Mikuru Asakura, who he will face in an exhibition match in September.

Last week, ESPN’s Mike Coppinger said the negotiations are still ongoing, but the undisputed welterweight championship is targeted for October. Mayweather said otherwise.

“…I seen, if I am not mistaken, someone threw out a date or a month,” Mayweather said.

“Not true. When it is true y’all will hear it from me first or from Fighthype.”

@cr1776. Is investing in shares of cloudmining hashrates good? I have read many bad reviews about it and it appears that it might be more profitable to use the bitcoins to invest if you know how to trade than use them to buy shares of hashrates. I speculate that only unprofitable miners who do not have enough on their monthly cashflow offer these shares.

Is the concept of crypto a pump and dump scheme?

This is not a concept, but the actual application of cryptocurrency at the moment. Largely.

Bitcoin is also a victim of this occurrence. Does everyone really accept that bitcoin's price bubbles are not an effect of speculation and price manipulation? Regulations cannot fix this, look at Wall Street. We should accept this reality that people will always buy on speculation.

I reckon that we might have different attitudes on the concept of NFT and ICO because I accept that from this, market speculation will always exist and scams will always be created. However, I do not consider that everything that is not bitcoin is a scam.

Recently I read that proposals have already begun to come in that the NFT industry should be regulated. I agree with this, because at the moment the NFT is a big garbage dump for fraud, including insider trading, wash trading, money laundering, etc. Until the necessary and correct regulation comes to NFTs, they will continue to be perceived by the majority as shitcoins with exorbitantly inflated price tags.

However, the concept still exists seperately and there is a more ideal implementation of this concept than what is presently in the cryptospace. The implementation and the application is not the concept. Similar to the concept of cryptocoins where one implementation is bitcoin. Is this the ideal implementation? It can be argued in one very long thread hehehe.

The government can regulate whatever they want, however, enforcing the rules will be a very big problem for them. They do not have the laws created or the experts to create the laws needed. A simple example is Telegram's token. The SEC declared it a security, however, an anonymous development team forked the project and issued a token also called TON that can also be used by Telegram users hehehe. The SEC cannot do anything. Bitcoin and the cryptospace would be shutdown if they can do anything.

What @bbcreporter trying to suggest here was if he really sent the 5K USDT amount on BSC counterpart of your wallet address(assuming you are using metamask or other non-custodial wallet), You can have that extra 5K USDT in BSC if you use that same private key to access the wallet and just change the network settings to BSC to see your 5K USDT balance that sent to you accidentally. This might be a n extra reward for you if the support is telling you the truth that he make mistake.

That’s not an option because Coinbase is a custodial wallet. I went back and forth with “Derek Wynn” at SandBoxCasino.io explaining this before he resent the $5k to the correct wallet.

All I want is my legitimate win of $120k sent to me.

I am not a Coinbase user, however, the wallet developed by Coinbase is also similar to Binance's Trust wallet where you can import or remove different types tokens from different types of blockchains that shares Geth's codebase. You can change the network to Binance smartchain and import BUSD in your wallet through the contract address and see that you also have $5k in BUSD in that address.

Also, if it is a wallet similar to blockchain.info, is there a way for you to get the private key of your wallet? You can import this in another wallet connecting to Binance smartchain. If it is an exchange, you can ask for help through their tech support.
2465  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: July 06, 2022, 02:09:09 AM
Looking at the current odds:

ML
Alvarez - 1.21
GGG - 3.95

So that is a huge disparity as far as the odds goes and they seems to really favoring Alvarez here. Maybe the age factor is what this bookies are looking at, GGG just won his last fight, while Canelo lost to Bivol. I think it's a great odds for GGG supporters this early as it is very attractive.

Agreed but do you not speculate GGG to be very underestmated for this fight? Canelo has only recently lost to Bivol. It was on a higher weight division, yes, however is Canelo ready for this only months after the loss? Bivol has also showed everyone the style on how to win vs. Canelo. Also, do you see this fight to reach round 12?

Definitely, GGG is underestimated here against his arch-nemesis. There fight has been so close that others argued that it could be GGG 2-0 or GGG 1-0. But we all know that Canelo has been given special treatment and even after coming from a humiliating lost, they still call him the favorite in this fight when that huge odds in the beginning. I will just be basing on their last fight, those lasted full 12 rounds, both have a tough chin, so yeah, it will reach 12 rounds in my book again.

Hehehe good to have my thoughts in agreement with yours. My only only wish for this is the sportsbooks begin offering the odds for over or under rounds betting on 7.5 rounds. This would imply that they might be expecting the fight to be a knockout victory for Canelo. GGG might use an intelligent jab similar to Bivol, however. Canelo bettors, you might develop post traumatic stress disorder after watching this heheheheh. It will not be easy for the middleweight champion.

@SammyGambler. I will assume that you are innocent unless proven guilty, however, the lesson for you is when Sandbox has frozen your $5000 before later allowing you to withdraw, you should have not sent it back to them. It was a warning about the service of the site already. Another lesson, do not use a VPN. VPNs are used by scammers and hackers which will give you an IP address that was used for scamming and hacking. They can use this as an excuse to freeze your account.

In hindsight I should have kept the $5k and never deposited again, but let me tell you why I didn’t:

-after initially banning me and refusing to pay the $5k, “Derek Wynn” from their risk management department took another look at the flag and realized it was an error on their part. He sent me a huge apology email and asked for my USDT wallet to send the $5k to immediately. When I didn’t receive it, I emailed him back and asked where it was. He sent me the blockchain link for the transaction,  but he accidentally sent it to BUSD (Binance) wallet instead of USDT wallet.

They sent you $5k 2 times? One in BUSD and the other transaction in USDT? You should connect your wallet to Binance smartchain. You might have BUSD in there hehehe.

I am very sorry for your situation, however, this is not very uncommon. What people do in bitcointalk is open a thread in scam accusations subforum and let the community discuss your case. It might not help you in making Sandbox send you back your money but it will help the community to become more careful on their own actions.
2467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MicroStrategy Acquires Additional 480 Bitcoins on: July 06, 2022, 12:51:06 AM
@KingsDen. In the beginning Michael Saylor bought bitcoins with his own company's cash reserves. This is good. Later, Michael Saylor borrowed money against his company or was it his company issued debt to buy bitcoins. This is okay. The last is Saylor has borrowed money against the bitcoins held by Microstrategy hehehe. What he has done and in the state of this market, I am not certain why much of the people consider him a genius.

In any case, I want his investment to be successful because this will also be good for all of our investments, however, looking at his investment strategy and calling him a genius is head shaking.
2468  Other / Archival / Re: Binance Expands Crypto Adoption on: July 06, 2022, 12:28:09 AM
It appears you are not separating the concept and the market. You can try to consider the medium like how I am trying to. It is a new medium for artists where the can monetize their works through the cryptospace. This will make NFTs the gateway to bitcoin and the whole cryptospace.

Also, of course they are only expectations because everything is still very new. However, should we always say something that is not bitcoin as always a failure?

There is nothing wrong with unlocking liquidity from property someone owns. It is the same as a person who borrows against a Picasso, a Banksy or his house. The choice is his if he wants to borrow against his NFTs or not and it will be his responsibility if he is liquidated.

What is the use of the concept if almost all the use of cryptocurrencies is reduced to a banal pump-and-dump scheme? This is especially true for the altcoin industry. Bitcoin also has a beautiful concept: a means of payment that cannot be seized or blocked, and which occurs without the participation of third parties. But in reality: bitcoin has become regulated, with the possibility of arrest, blocking, and a large number of bitcoins revolves around third-party services. The overwhelming use of bitcoin is speculative rather than a means of payment. But on the other hand, he has such a concept, different than the market one.

Many technologies or individual projects had an interesting concept that would bridge the gap between the crypto industry and everyday life, including various businesses, hobbies, art, cinema, mass media, etc. I do not deny that there have been and will be further attempts to link it. But all these beautiful concepts collide with reality when speculators, participants using borrowed funds, etc. come into the project and begin to parasitize the price of the asset. Until people learn to see cryptocurrency as a technology, and not just a means of earning money, all these beautiful concepts will not get the proper distribution.

Is the concept of crypto a pump and dump scheme? You are not separating the market occurrences from the concept. Bitcoin is also a victim of this occurrence. Does everyone really accept that bitcoin's price bubbles are not an effect of speculation and price manipulation? Regulations cannot fix this, look at Wall Street. We should accept this reality that people will always buy on speculation.

I reckon that we might have different attitudes on the concept of NFT and ICO because I accept that from this, market speculation will always exist and scams will always be created. However, I do not consider that everything that is not bitcoin is a scam.

Israel Adesanya VS Jared Cannonier Round 5 Decision - WIN
Big congratulations to Isreal, One of the biggest winners in that game apart from him is drake the musicians who bet a whopping $1M  that he was going to win and won $2.5M. Isreal is making a good record for himself with now twenty three wins and one loss. His confidence level will be up as well having not lost any of his last twelve fights and preparing to face Pereira who he has a history with, it will be an entertaining fight to see them both once again, head to head on the stage.

Is his bet only on Izzy? How could this be? The odds on Izzy was only 1.18. Izzy might not be Drake's only bet or he should share to us what sportsbook he is using before it becomes bankrupt from giving very good odds heheehhe. In any case, the Last Stylebender versus the Killa Gorilla was not very good to watch. It was very boring and according to Alex Pereira the fans were leaving on round 4.



During his UFC 276 post-fight press conference, Pereira expressed disappointment in Adesanya’s showing in the main event.

“It was not a fight that not only (didn’t) excite me but also did not excite the crowd. I was very sad to see that,” Pereira said of Adesanya’s performance. “So I hope when we fight, he do a better fight than that. For sure, I want to make him fight to give a better show to the crowd.”

Since Pereira first signed with the UFC, speculation has risen regarding a third fight between him and Adesanya. Pereira has accused Adesanya of ducking him leading up to Adesanya’s post-UFC 276 callout.


Source https://www.mmanews.com/2022/07/pereira-adesanya-ufc-276/

Disappointing to see how boring the fight.  It didn't live up to what is expected to see since the two are known to throw shots that could immediately bring anyone of them down.  It didn't entertain the people on the side of the cage, they are the ones looking for action.

As for  Pereira, he is likely trying to annoy Adesanya. Pereira  is looks up to what Izzy had achieved in UFC while in the first try of Izzy in the combat sports he had knocked him down. A little bit more of intimidation, Dana could match the two.


Agreed. Uncle Dana will begin creating his storyline for the only man who knocked out Israel Adesanya. However, I predict Izzy will avoid this fight and he will declare that he will go on a vacation to a place far somewhere hehheehehe. Alex Pereira is the man he fears.

For uncle Dana, Izzy's vacation will certainly be disappointing. However, he has a weapon for this. He will make an interim middleweight championship for Alex Pereira. I predict it will be versus Robert Whitaker.

2471  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kucoin users, are your withdrawals okay? on: July 05, 2022, 02:27:26 AM
Sam Bankman-Fried is one of the guys who would know if one exchange is insolvent or not. Imagine saving the butts of Voyager and BlockFi just to make amends with all of the crypto community. It will not be a good one if he lets it die. The insolvent exchanges probably asked for help from the FTX founder and told them that it would be hard for them and ask for help.

I'm going to be sad if that's KuCoin; I have known them for a while, but that's probably how it works, and they probably have reached max optimal loaning or something like that and made it insolvent.

I very much agree. Kucoin has become my favorite exchange after Bittrex before Bittrex became scammers similar to HitBTC. However, better to be safe and withdraw all your coins from centralized exchanges. I do not care if your exchange is the biggest and most trusted exchange similar to Binance, FTX, Coinbase or Kraken.
2472  Other / Archival / Re: Binance Expands Crypto Adoption on: July 05, 2022, 01:31:47 AM
It appears that you do not differentiate the NFT market from the concept of a new medium of expression and art appreciation. It is very much similar to those mainstream people who do not differentiate the cryptocoin market from concept of cryptocoins. The market is full of manipulation, wash trading, moneylaundering, however, is a cryptocoin like bitcoin a scam? No it is not but it can be used for moneylaudering, fraud and other crimes.

The artists and the collectors will come to the cryptospace even if we do not like this. Similar to many people who discovered a new type of medium of exchange, there will also be many people who will discover this new type of medium of expression. We have not yet witnessed how big the concept of NFT will be. I reckon this is only beginning and this is getting ready for the next bull market. If you are a speculator, start doing your research. The next millionaires from nothing will be the investors of NFT and the the Defi protocols that support them.

You also say they are only holding NFTs for speculation? I am quite certain many people who are holders of NFTs will disagree with you. They are creating they're own subculture and this will never go away.

http://www.nft.nyc/

It seems that you do not distinguish modern reality from your expectations. Everything that you listed did not happen, but is only the fruit of your own expectations and your own vision of this concept. At the moment, 99% of NFT crap is a scam that nobody wants except for a quick profit. At the moment, NFT technology is used only as an attempt to cash in on your digital property, in an attempt to sell as expensive as possible ... and that's it. This is how the NFT industry seems to be and its main platform in 2021, OpenSea, as the personification of everything that the NFT industry is currently, this perfectly confirms.

By the way, recently a service was opened for issuing loans against well-known NFTs (Crypto Punks, ape board, etc.) with the possibility of NFT liquidation. This is the true purpose of your art, usury, speculation, margin positions and no self-expression, only business.

It appears you are not separating the concept and the market. You can try to consider the medium like how I am trying to. It is a new medium for artists where the can monetize their works through the cryptospace. This will make NFTs the gateway to bitcoin and the whole cryptospace.

Also, of course they are only expectations because everything is still very new. However, should we always say something that is not bitcoin as always a failure?

There is nothing wrong with unlocking liquidity from property someone owns. It is the same as a person who borrows against a Picasso, a Banksy or his house. The choice is his if he wants to borrow against his NFTs or not and it will be his responsibility if he is liquidated.

@Bitcoin_Arena. But did the concept of ICOs, IDOs, IEOs, STOs as a democratized method of funding a project go away? Separate the market from the concept.

I am not very sure if this is true or fud.
Since that source is just some random guy on Twitter is hard to say, but what he is saying about withdrawing your money from there is absolutely true, no one should hold their crypto on exchanges, including the most popular ones.
A lot of people (news organizations included, who should know better) give far too much weight to what random people on Twitter say, and in this case I'm not seeing any evidence that Kucoin is on the verge of insolvency.  And yes, there might be some KYC issues if the amount you want to withdraw is large--but that's included in their ToS if I'm not mistaken, so no shocker there.

Agreed. However, after witnessing the insolvencies that has occured in the cryptospace in the last 2 weeks, it might be safer to have some awareness and withdraw our coins from centralized exchanges. I am quite certain everyone will agree with this not your keys, not your coins.

Yeah, well, a $1B paper loss or unrealized loss.

Way back when Saylor first started buying Bitcoin, I remember someone on the forum meandering something like, "time will tell if he's a madman or a genius." This is going to depend a lot on the behavior of the Bitcoin price.
It's the price of course. If today the price of bitcoin was $100k then people would say him a genius if they call them madman now. He is not genius nor madman, he is an investor. An investor do not throw away their wealth. They have strategy and they follow it.

Unlike 99% who think they are highly skilled traders and when price is skyrocketing they make some trades with positive gains against dollar, the real investors analyze the data for longer terms.

The argument is not about the price. It is about Michael Saylor's investment strategy or does he have an investment strategy? It is head shaking that he began buying on 2020 and the investment has a $1 billion loss and bitcoin is up since 2020. Open a chart and mark where he bought. He bought all the peaks. The community keeps cheering on Saylor, however, he might be bringing more danger to the market.

Man trying to DCA with millions.  Grin
That's a seven figure number. It's fair enough for a company.

For any individual a three figure is not bad at all. Imagine someone who is continuing DCA from 2017 or earlier. They also considered selling some at the peak. Again they are buying back in difference price. There will be many who has been doing it from years.

MicroStrategy could be an example that it's never late in crypto.

I disagree. Microstrategy is an example on how not to invest in the cryptospace. The investment holds 129,699 coins with an average price of $30,664. This is a loss of $1 billion on an asset that has pumped 4x since March 2020.

It will also not only be about the loss on paper at present. Microstrategy will be reporting this loss in their monthly income statement. It is very head shaking what he has done.

How is it a loss? You should call it maybe a virtual loss. He didn't sell to actually lose anything. So, there is no actual loss. Same goes with El Salvador. The country lost nothing because they didn't sell nothing. 1 BTC = 1 BTC. Same goes if value goes up. They profit nothing unless they sell. That concept only comes to reality when a sell is made!

The correct term is called a paper loss and you are correct that the loss is not yet a realized loss, however, this loss will be reported in the company's income statement. This makes the loss appear very real among shareholders and board of directors? What would he tell them? Also, do not forget Michael Saylor's history in investing. He was one of the biggest losers during the internet boom. Microstrategy's investment on Bitcoin now is with a $1 billion loss because of his bad decisions.
