It is a legacy bout for Terrence Crawford and he can fulfill his dream of adding records to his career by becoming a champion in a heavier division this is his way of proving that he is the best pound-per-pound boxer in the world. I want to witness him taking those huge challenges to become the next champion and also a possible unified champion because of how strong and skillful knockout artist he is. Also, I would like to watch Isaac Cruz get back to the ring to fight again since Mini-Tyson is getting popular nowadays due to his peekaboo style which has some similarities with Mike.

This is a good fight for Terrence Crawford, new set of challenge and so another belt will he is, here is the highlight of Madrimov vs Kurbanov

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiQ4ko1yciM

You'll the judge if he has a chance against Crawford or not. But for me, Crawford is still in his prime and so I doubt that the style of tools Madrimov have is enough to defeat even if this is 154 lbs. So good choice of Crawford to fight him, just like when Manny is going up in weight, careful match making of the champion and then Manny will just walk down the champion and annexed their belt.

OK, I believe this proves that the Samourai developers are NOT working for state actors, and the project itself is NOT a honeypot collecting information for intelligence agencies. This is a very sad day for Bitcoin privacy advocates. Kruw, some of your fellow developers were arrested, move on for today. Debate again tomorrow.

Why do you think it's too early to say "I told you so"? Samourai deliberately designed their wallet to collect user data by default and lied about it: https://twitter.com/SamouraiWallet/status/1576923638846005248

I opened an issue to have a warning displayed to users about the data they are leaking, Samourai closed it and later deleted it: https://web.archive.org/web/20230417145554/https://code.samourai.io/wallet/samourai-wallet-android/-/issues/458

I've spent an enormous amount of time warning people about the risks involved with this exact outcome. Now whatever data Samourai had is within arms reach of the Feds.


Come back to us after you've disassociated yourself from Wasabi Wallet and then you can tell us "I told you so". Until then, your project is inside the giant crosshairs of the FBI: https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2024/PSA240425

Yeah, and so for others who 'supposedly' want to check,



For example, I type 'Coinbase' in the Legal Name textbox, and this will be the result,

Your prediction will surely come through op,  but it will not going to be this year if you have visited the market this year because the price is still around $63k, which it will be difficult for the price to jump to $200k in this year, well that is your prediction because anything can happen in the market for someone prediction to come to reality.

I would have agree with your prediction, assume you mentioned 2030 because I know that the price of BTC will hit $200k before the end of 2030 because the price has break into a new ATH this year, that made hodlers to rejoice because that is the first time seeing the price hit $73k over some years now.

If you want to be part of that amount you predicted in this trend, you can start saving some money from your working place so that you can buy when the bear run come and hodl till the price hit $200k before you can sell.

For the bull cycle, maybe we can get to close to $200k, as there are predictions like $150k-$180k. But there are a lot of factors to consider here, like the war in the background and some other negative news that might impact the market to reach that high.

Anyhow, almost week after the halving, fees are back to normal or at least not that high as compare during the halving itself, pretty much the market has settled down. So still time to accumulate and see if the conditions next year will improved and as so we can at least see 6 digits this bull run.

And they got destroyed again by Nuggets in the late game. This is always the problem of Lakers when it comes to dealing with Nuggets. They can’t find a way to lock down Jokic being pesky with his assist and attack in the inside once Lakers defenders was focused to the perimeter shots of Nuggets.

This will be a back 2 back playoffs sweep for Lakers made by Nuggets if ever they lose the game 4 which is highly possible considering how they can’t find a way to deal with Nuggets.

It’s an end of an era for the King. I smell change team for the last time.

PS: The rebound count of Nuggets show how dominant they are on this game since all of them is making an effort to save the ball.

This was a crucial game for the Lakers, and now they have almost no chance left in this series since they lost it. The funny thing is that the Lakers played pretty solid and led after the first halves in all three games of this series against the Nuggets, but then they performed very poorly in the second halves each time, especially in the third quarter of those games. In other words, they've made the same mistake every time. Maybe it's the inexperience of the coach or something else.

Yup, the Lakers are cooked. It will be interesting to see what moves they make in the offseason. LeBron wants to renegotiate. DeAngelo is gone. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went after Klay Thompson.

Yeah, I think everyone should go including their coach and retain only Lebron and AD. Playoff Rui is not their, D'Lo 0 points, getting Dinwiddie, bad decision. They should have gotten a big man instead like Dwight to be able to contend with Jokic.

Embiid’s performance tonight is even more impressive now that he has revealed he is playing while being treated for Bell’s Palsy.

Oh, that's why I've seen a post when Embiid is shooting free throws and it's obvious that he is suffering from something because his eyes and face are different as it there is a glitch. Hopefully he will be ok as they were able to climb back today.

Do you have favorite gaming strategies? Are there any effective approaches you know of that can be used in different games?

Luck based games doesn't entails strategy at all, obviously, it's either you are a lucky or not simply as that. In some card games let's say baccarat, other uses martingale system, but it's a disaster if you experience successive loses and you need to have a deep and bigger capital just to break even.

And with that, I doubt that you will have effective strategies, sooner or later the house edge are going to catch up with you. But if you ever found one and you win money, then it's better to quit early.

Malik Monk losing to Naz Reid for the 6th man of the year,

It's probably because Monk

> didn't make the full game, I mean he got injured
> Sacramento didn't make it to the playoffs

But in terms of numbers and then the impact to his team, I will give it to Monk.

Reid though is doing good and putting numbers as well specially in the 3 point area wherein he is shooting 41%++.

Heated debate between Floyd and Bill Haney,

https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1783039932031766853

Not sure though what the two are arguing, Lol, perhaps Bill is still salty that his son is no longer undefeated and maybe they are really envy of Floyd.

In any case you can watch it and see what your thoughts are.
288  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the halving already priced in? on: April 24, 2024, 09:40:56 PM
Not even close, we are not even pricing in the halving at all, we are nowhere near that level yet. I am 100% sure that we will be on the road to 100k this year, before the year ends, either we are going to reach 100k this year, around the end of it, or we are going to reach it by the start of next year. I am sure that it is going to be pretty good, and we are going to end up with something that can benefit us for sure.

It is just that we need to make sure that we are not making any mistakes, sometimes there are some news and people react to that news and sell, then they make a big mistake, but because they sold, the market drops as well and their mistake ends up hurting us as well, we should try to avoid that as much as possible.

Yeah, as a investor and been in the market for many years, we all know that halving price is not price in. It's that there is some emergence of new pattern like establishing a new ATH before the halving.

But at the grand scheme of things, we will see 6 digits at the end of the year. If not, then it could be early 2025 and then new all time high. This has been the cycle and it will still continue despite seeing for the first time that we have reach it before the halving.

What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they be avoided?

The mentality that they will win every time and win big. I heard a lot of beginners with that kind of attitude, coming to online casinos full of confidence, have a lot of capital and then bet big. Unfortunately, with their $100 capital and betting like $10 per spin in a slot machine of their choosing, it will be like less than 5 minutes and your capital are all gone.

So for beginners, it's important that they should see as gambling as not a get rich quick scheme. It is still base on luck and not all of us have this kind of beginners luck. And capital management as well, very important so that you won't fall for the addiction and you need to control it early.
290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: April 24, 2024, 06:07:54 AM
Haney should do a good comeback and think about a rematch since it will be good to see another Garcia and Haney part two soon.

Not an immediate rematch he needs to build his confidence I read that his mandatory challenger is Sandor Martin, Sandor Martin is a good one he fought and floored Teofimo Lopez he is a technical fighter but lacks the power it will be another big challenge for Haney.

Devin is not showing himself in the media after his devastating loss, all talks come from his father Bill Haney, he should show up and tell his supporters that he's ok and move on, its better to come out on his mouth.
The social medias are so full of before and after the fight and so many memes comes out related to this fight, this is a candidate for the match of the year.

But Ryan said that he might not fight at 140 lbs anymore, obviously, in this fight, he weighs over at 143 lbs causing the fight to be a non-title. And he said that no matter how he tried to make the weight, he can't do it. So meaning his next fight will be at 147 lbs and yeah, he could be going up another weigh class and it will be very interesting how he will do at the list of the champions.

I wouldn't say that it could be a fight of the year though, it was a dominant win by Ryan and it's not like a go back and forth fight and was really close in the end.

Ryan learned his lesson on not forcing himself to make the limit in weight because of the rehydration clause on Tank Davis so he is going to move in up but he should still try the superlightweight and fight Pitbull Cruz so he can at least win one title because he will have a hard time in the Welterweight where is loaded with great names like Boot s Ennis, Errol Spence and of course Crawford if he decides to come back to the Welterweight Division.
His concentration should be on winning a title besides beating big names in boxing so he can attain greatness

Yes, I think his team and Oscar himself might be the culprit after all. Just saying that he might be the brain behind Ryan no forcing himself to make the 140 lbs limit because as he said, as much as he wanted to, his body is not allowing him to make 140 lbs. So definitely big lessons on their lost to Tank Davis. And maybe we all thinking that if there are no rehydration clause and Ryan went in that fight at 140++ lbs, it could be a different outcome after all.

Anyhow, if Ryan jumps to 147 lbs, there are a lot of fighters that are going to wait for him. Not the immediate champions, but I like the name that you brought up which is Ennis who have been calling Crawford for years.

And as we have been saying, the Mavs are going to claw back and they have the equalizer in game 2. Luka will not allow his team to lose this important game and steal one from the Clippers. They started hot but Clippers makes a huge comeback and even take the lead.

But back to back 3 by Luka and Irving and it ignited a 14-0 run. PJ Washington was a big help as well and Jones has double digits with 10 points and one crucial FT.

So the series goes to Dallas now, gonna be hard for the Clippers to win on that floor but let's see.
292  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why has bitcoin prices not increased just after halving ? on: April 23, 2024, 08:11:02 PM
People who are expecting the movement right after the halving are people who have not seen the previous halving. I have been here for three, and even with this one four halving I think, and I can tell you that we are not going to really see any big changes at all, we are seeing those changes a few months later. That's of course what I believe will happen, and doesn't mean that we are not going to end up with anything different.

Exactly, I see a lot of them complaining, not just in this forum, but other social media as well and I just laugh because I'm thinking that this individuals haven't seen halving before and they thought that immediately the price is going into parabolic rise.

Just focus on the future because halving DOES make it go up, just doesn't do it right afterwards, it takes a couple days for it to get there. I believe that we are going to end up with a much bigger and better result eventually, we just need to make sure that we can wait a few more months to get there.

Long term. I mean we all know that we have problems with the high transaction fees. But if we can still get and buy Bitcoin and then hold for the next year, we all be good and having a good margin of profits and just let the market run it's course, just be patience and we will see new all time high in the future.

Is there any penalty resultant of a bitcointalk forum memeber to double Cross in accessing and also contributing to foreigners local board discussions?
I thought of this because the pool of knowledge and learning is being way too broad and versatile which possibly I think that interested forum memeber can as well visit some foreigners local board and acquire some fact of knowledges maybe even have something profitable to contribute to the board as concerned.

No, there is no penalty, and I'm sure there are members here who can read and understand other language too.

I know I'll be next question how is it possible to cope with the foreigners local board since they specifically speaks their native language. So there I'll suggest using the translator and how about someone who has basic skills to be fluent with the language?
I'm just being optimistic about this because right in my local board, there are interesting discussions going right there which is not discussed in the general boards so I think we can as much also acquire to enhance our aspirations with our bitcoin investment and as well adopt some profitable everyday life lessions at the foreigners local boards.

Well you can use a translator. And if you go to local boards, you can see that some gambling platforms have post their sites there and it's obvious that it came from a translator. But there is no penalty there. And we can understand that they just wanted to post and promote their casinos.

And for sure if there are some mistakes, then the local can call it and they are going to easily correct that 'lost in translations' post.

Crazy game 2 between the Lakers and the Nuggets. Everyone thought the Lakers are gonna steal the game 2 as they lead 20 pts at some pt in the 3rd quarter, but the Nuggets didn't give up, was able to establish momentum in the 4th. Though they did not take the lead, but Murray just made a buzzer beater to beat the Lakers by 2 pts.
Man, it looks like the Lakers really stand no chance against the Nuggets. They have not won against them for 2 years straight now lol.
Davis was almost perfect in the 1st half but totally disappeared in the 2nd half.
It looks the Lakers' chance to win this series is by miracle lol.

Same here, I thought that they are going to take game 2 with D'Lo shooting and then AD and Lebron combining for big points. There were moments that AD was in rhythm and no one can stop him and Murray has a terrible shooting night.

I think the Lakers can get at least 1 game in this series and break their losing streak. Other Lakers like Austin Reaves have to stop up and help. Although Rui and Reaves has the task of guarding Jokic and Murray and that is big already and perhaps them concentrating on defense put their offense at the back seat as they didn't score double digits. Usually their starting five scores at least 100 points, but not in this series yet.
Agreed, Rui and Reaves need to score double figures as well, but then, Denver is really a title contender, unlike the Lakers who are struggling to enter the playoffs. It's not surprising that the Nuggets were going to win this series. It's either a sweep or 4-1 in favor of the Nuggets. But man, that AD response, "Jamal Murray made a shot," got me laughing.

Let us see, it just one game that Lakers needed here, that one game that they will win and win big in Crypto.com that will turn the tide in their favor. Reaves just some good shot selection in that game, but he is quiet on this series and same with Rui.

D'Lo is shooting hot, there were videos of him practice shooting after their lost and it indeed pay off in this game. But the Nuggets, very tough team, down 20 points and was able to claw back. Just shows that the defending champions are very hard to beat by anyone.

Why not test it out to some lesser known fights and see how it goes? And he could have been adding more controversies in this fight, so it doesn't make sense for the WBC president to put more fuel to the fire here.

297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Share your previous experience that you got after bitcoin halving. on: April 22, 2024, 06:36:52 AM
In my experience after the price halves to scare investors (will be a bear trap) then after 2/3 months the market starts going up (halving bull run), which lasts 9 months or 10 months.

How can it be a bear trap if we know that what follows is a big bull run? So probably the same will happen again, and as experience tells us, if the price goes down then you shouldn't panic and push the sell button, on the other hand, you can continue to accumulate.

Just like what had happen last halving, at least months after, or leading up to the end of the year 2020, last 3 months was huge, November and December at 40%-46% increased.

The last period of the Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks game is played and the Clippers are ahead by 21 points.
Kawhi Leonard is not playing for the Clippers tonight, I didn't think the Clippers would win so easily.
There are 5 minutes left in the game, but I don't think the score will change.
I can say they won the first game.

Well it's only Luka and Irving who scored for the Mavs, while the Clippers was in balance attack mode. But still early, this is just 1 game, and for sure Dallas will have to re-adjust involved other team mates. In this game only P. J. Washington was the other one who score double digit with 11 points.

Great game 1 between the Pels and OKC, Pels never give up in the 4th quarter to even take a lead. But they failed to execute in the last 2 possessions. Nance was block by Holmgren and then CJ unable to make a 3 for win or a 2 for OT.

299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 20, 2024, 06:06:17 AM
Let’s go Kings!

I'm with you on this one.
Surprised it's a close game considering Zion is not playing and BI is out of "shape".

Go Kings!!

Unfortunately, tired legs for the Kings and the home team Pels won the game. Brandon Ingram lead the team this time in the absence of Zion and it just took them the 2nd quarter to put a good enough lead that the Kings wasn't able to climb back.

Although they did make a run in the last 3 minutes of the game, but it was not enough.

And probably Fox hitting the top of back board in the first last quarter shows that they defense of the Pelicans it very good. They didn't even crack 100 points in this game.
