2761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: April 05, 2022, 03:56:18 AM
This fight might go to the decision, I reckon. However, the sportsbooks have not yet offered any odds for rounds betting, fight ending and round ranges. My only hope for this one is the sportsbooks are thinking something similar as much of the fans and speculate GGG will knockout Murata hehehe. This fight being in Japan is already head shaking.

My prediction aside from the Decision is that GGG winning a TKO within rounds 5-6. I will risk a bet there once the line is now available at my preferred sportsbook.

I don't consider GGG, even at that age, don't have that KO power. He still has that and since Murata is not within his league, he should possibly make that TKO win for a high chance. Murata I know will be on defensive style but still, there will be a moment that GGG can find a spot for a good shot that will make Murata being KO. GGG's experience was already full of different boxers with different styles. He knows to deal with everything.

I'm sure a TKO win for GGG will happen.

Do not assume that my comments are certainly sure for a victory on Murata. I was only arguing that betting on GGG with very small odds will be stupid. I ask anyone if they will bet on GGG, however, I saw no reply hehehe. This implies no one is stupid. Also, for this fight everyone appears to be predicting a knockout. I very much disagree. Murata has never lost with a knockout and in those losses he challenged those boxers again and it was Murata who won with a knockout. I predict a decision and it might be a split decision.

@goldkingcoiner. It appears you underestimate the commitment of some of the Southeast Asian fighters. If we are talking about commitment, I reckon Pacman has showed that he is one of the most commited boxers in the world. I would reckon that he is the most commited. His record is not perfect, however, he has accomplished more than anyone in the sport of boxing.

Donaire's social media presence is only marketing. I am quite certain his wife has hired someone to run the account and be in charge of promoting Nonito Donaire in Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Well, we can surely see both fighters determination, in this fight and who ever wins this fight will be the more determined and very hungry for greatness and hunger for victory, for sure many will be in favor with Noaya Inoue. But there are a few that may risk on betting for Nonito Donaire, because of what he has shown inside that ring; he surely was agonizing in pain because of inoue's body blows but his determination has shown more quality.

I speculate that if Nonito Donaire wins, it will be his determination that will win him this fight. Naoya Inoue is younger, stronger and certainly is the better boxer. He is presently Japan's best pound for pound boxer, Japan's own Pacman and he will bring honor to his country to the sport of boxing, very much similar to Philippines' Pacman. However, I predict this to be a knockout for Inoue with Donaire carried out of the ring with a stretcher.

@Lucius. Agreed! However, is Binance not staying competitive enough to begin offering lesser fees for withdrawals or lower their fees for trading? I reckon losing 3% was not because of their fees. It was caused by regulators being more strict to enforce regulations against them which -3% is not very bad I think.

Also, I am fascinated by it and I am cheering for them to be more rich than Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerburg hehehe. I am not taking this serious, however. I am more serious in cheering for sports stars in NFL or the beautiful women of MMA hehehehehee.

I am beginning to be afraid that this news might be nothing but rumors according to sauces and not actual rumors bases on real sources. Does anyone remember the influencer @Altcoingordon's joke where he tweeted an announcement that Apple would purchase $2.5 billion of bitcoin according to sauces?

Broken clock and all that...

But I gotta admit BA's retirement looks quite bizarre, particularly the timing after Brady's un-retirement.

Agreed, it is head scratching. However, did Tom Brady and Bruce Arians have conflicts or disagreed much when Brady joined the team during that superbowl winning season? I never heard anything and have always thought that the Buccaneers was a team of players with similar minds and disposition.

2767  Economy / Speculation / Re: Terra cofounder Do Kwon is the one who is pumping Bitcoin on: April 04, 2022, 04:39:07 AM
@TheGreatPython. Tesla invested $1.5 billion in bitcoin, Microstrategy invested $3.8 billion in bitcoin and Terra will invest a total of $10 billion in bitcoin. According to some articles, Terra will finish this within 3 months. This might be the biggest investment by a private company in bitcoin. However, Saylor has also been increasing his investment. He has been borrowing dollars against his bitcoin to by more bitcoin.

There was a picture that Jack Mallers shared in social media where he was in front of the Chase Manhattan bank wearing a baseball cap with the word apple. I reckon it was only to honor Steve Jobs where he also had his picture taken in front of IBM headquarters. I thought it was only a joke.
2769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: April 03, 2022, 02:31:00 AM
@milewilda. Similar to what I have said in the other thread about boxing predictions, Murata might be very underestimated for this fight. The fight will be in Japan where Murata is the hero, GGG will be 40 years old on the day of the fight, Murata is only 36 years old with a 2 inch reach advantage. Also, all of Murata's losses he challenged those boxers again and won them each with a knockout. Would you bet GGG with very small odds?

That's true that Murata has the reach advantage, it's more like of an almost 5 inches reach advantage because it was a 12 centimeter gap. However, I don't agree in that particular statement that Murata's age is also an advantage compared to the 4 year older GGG at the day of the fight because that is just a short span and it's not that Murata have experienced and fathom GGG's ring IQ and experience when he was also 36 years old.

However, would you bet on GGG with very small odds and with this presenty old GGG who has some disadvantages against him? The fight also being in Japan is making me speculate that the referee and the judges will be in the yakuza's payroll hehehe. I would not be shocked if this fight ends in an upset split decision and Murata the winner.

If GGG wants to win, this fight should not reach the judges' scorecards, he has to beat Murata by knocking him out.
GGG has 36 KOs from 41 fights, I'm sure he can beat Murata by KO.

So if you want better odds, just guess which round GGG would stop the fight, or bet on ranges every 3 rounds.
I have a feeling 1-3 rounds gives better odds.

GGG winning by a knockout against Murata is not impossible, actually given his stats/record, the chances of GGG getting a KO is high and I don't doubt him at all that he can still do it this time around. Aside from that, he really needs to end this fight with an explosive finishing punch to attract more attention and put an end to the people who are doubting at his capabilities.

Aside from the tasty odds, can GGG really stop it between round 1-3? My best guess would be 5-7.

This fight might go to the decision, I reckon. However, the sportsbooks have not yet offered any odds for rounds betting, fight ending and round ranges. My only hope for this one is the sportsbooks are thinking something similar as much of the fans and speculate GGG will knockout Murata hehehe. This fight being in Japan is already head shaking.

Very strange that for the past 2 days he hasn’t bought anything. Checking that ETH wallet and it still contains $450M or so.

Lately with him and Saylor buying more Bitcoin with his $200M that he borrowed using Bitcoin as collateral, seems lots of buys happening last and this week.

I think we will hit $50K this week and hope that the rally isn’t short lived when he is out of funds to buy.

Do Kwon might not pump bitcoin today. According to this tweet he will only be listening to music hehe.

https://mobile.twitter.com/stablekwon/status/1510425541404692485?s=12

However, he also tweeted this yesterday. He might be waiting for the price to dump first before he begins buying. I speculate bitcoin to be more than $50k by the end of this week.

https://mobile.twitter.com/stablekwon/status/1510192448450211843?s=12

Also, Saylor always buys on the top of the pump hehehe. Someone shared a chart with Saylor's tweets and after every declaration of a buy, bitcoin dumped. He should certainly fire his trader.

The law will affect exchanges and non-custodial wallets, such as metamask, ledger and trezor, as I explained.
So this mean you aren't even allowed to hold your Crypto on a Ledger/Trezor?

No, it means that if you hold your crypto on a Ledger, Trezor or any other non-custodial wallet, you will have to provide information about a receiver when you are sending your crypto. The same will probably be when holding your crypto on an exchange.

But how will they know who owns each address? There is no mention about mandatory KYC procedure for people who holds crypto on a non-custodial wallets. If there won't be a KYC, how will they know who are the owners? And if they don't know who is the sender, how will they punish him for providing false information about a person they are sending crypto.
Damn, can't we just say we are sending money from one wallet of ours to other? They won't know shit TBH.

Agreed hehehe. The problem with this is those people creating the laws do not or have not thought on how to enforce them. This will be a complicated problem and the paperwork for this would be enough for them to give up on many cases. It will be a problem for the users only during the beginning, however, similar to many other laws they cannot be enforced to the fullest extent. There will still be users who will still enjoy their privacy in the cryptospace.

@Kakmakr. They might have learned that they should not brag about their seizures of large amounts of cryptocoins hehehe.

In any case, the article also mentioned that the DOJ has indicted Big Vern on January. He might have made  a deal with the DOJ in exchange for the private keys of the address containing the stolen coins. Also, those coins were split to hundreds of addresses which makes me speculate that they might not be put on auction.

@Marvelman. It appears that you created this thread as an attack on 1xbit only because the owners are Russian? The site is considered a scam in this forum because they might have been reports of selective scamming on their own users similar to what HitBTC has done. However, to boycott because they are Russian should not be supported. There are many peace loving Russians who do not support what Putin has done to Ukraine.
I don't think he only attacks 1xbit literally though He mentioned the name above but he is also asking of other Russian owned gambling site in which maybe he has no idea so he cannot put in OP.

And also he ahs no rights to attack specific gambling site as His Own gambling site in Signature is facing problem now as there is a accusation against them

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5391828.0

But we are supporting this act for the benefits of Ukraine and World peace .

That makes it a worse argument. How is the fault of Putin and the Russian government also the fault of an innocent Russian gambling site owner who might be against the war? If we see an old Russian lady selling fruit on the sidewalk, should she also be banned from selling fruit? I shake my head at his proposal.
2775  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / CME Group 'Looking At' Offering Solana, Cardano Futures on: April 02, 2022, 05:20:13 AM
The CME offering derivatives for Solana and Cardano would certainly increase the legitimacy of the markets for these coins, I reckon. For mainstream institutional investors, their choices are only Bitcoin and Ethereum because the volume of their investments needs higher liquidity that no other cryptocoin derivatives can offer. The CME might change this for Solana and Cardano. However, why not offer Binance smartchain also? Solana experienced downtime and it might not be reliable. Cardano is unusable.


King of Solana whales. Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX

Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) might soon have futures contracts available on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a CME Group executive said earlier this week.

Payal Shah, the director of equity and cryptocurrency products at CME, spoke at CryptoCompare’s Digital Asset Summit in London.

"We’re looking at it,” she said when asked if CME was considering offering futures and other derivative products for altcoins. “We get a number of client requests for anything outside the top two—Solana, Cardano.”

2776  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-03-28] Grayscale Threatens Legal Action if SEC Rejects Bitcoin ETF bid on: April 02, 2022, 04:27:59 AM
They could certainly argue it is arbitrary and capricious and certainly if the SEC didn't have a valid reason a court could impose a remedy.  Given the political nature of the left-leaning judges, much would depend on the judge that hears the case initially and then which group of circuit court judges hears the appeal, unless it was en banc.

Iirc SEC has already rejected ETFs for the reason that Bitcoin market is not mature enough, telling that the price fluctuates too much and the exchanges are showing overly inflated fake volumes.
And while I don't like to hear it, they're right about that. On the other hand, is that a good enough reason for rejecting the ETF? That may be a lottery game with the only winners being the lawyers paid big for the lawsuit.

I reckon that it might be Gary Gensler who does not want a bitcoin ETF for whatever reason. I speculate that it is not because of the market not being mature enough or the assumptions of market manipulation. It might be that there are people who are behind the SEC who do not want bitcoin to reach a certain level of public acceptance.

For me that looks staged and the same time not. I mean the joke on Jada was the worst part of it, but it's just so unprofessional for Will to resort with violence in front of national TV smh.

It was not staged. Will Smith made a public apology through social media and the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences is considering removing Will Smith from being this year's best actor.

Also, I was only arguing that Su Zhu might know more than us. I agree that he might be lying, however, I am certain that he has sources on private information.

In any case, did CZ also buy shares of Fortune magazine? This is the latest cover. It also appears that much of the bitcoin news media has overestimated his networth by $20 billion hehehe.
