Musk apparently is going after Open AI's CEO for abandoning the company's original goal while it was still a startup.
https://www.reuters.com/legal/elon-musk-sues-openai-ceo-sam-altman-breach-contract-2024-03-01/

Could this due to Elon starting up his own A.I company Grok last year?

As was seen right from their testing days back Red bull have the machine this season to keep winning and the other teams haven't figured out how to beat Max yet.
The qualifying sessions showed Mercedes as struggling same as last season and the Ferraris are once again just out of reach of the Red Bull car they have modified to Verstappen to pick up from last season.

All markets are pointing for another Max Win with the oddmakers prior to qualifying closing @1.35x and post is @1.16x

Get ready for an F1 race in Bahrain early Saturday morning.

Yes Raul Rosas Jr. wanted to fight since he was just a week out of training camp and already easy to cut the weight 7 days out.
But I imagine it was due to Ricky Turcios not agreeing since he feels once a fighter makes these kind of decisions then it is unfair to him.
Think of what happened to Wonderboy with not agreeing to fight while his opponent didn't make weight for last year's event.
Might even be seen in the sameway of what Khamzat did to Diaz. But he just refused to fight with missing weight by alot.

For my predictions with this event I have the following:
Alex Perez  vs.  Muhammad Mokaev
Matt Schnell  vs.  Steve Erceg
Umar Nurmagomedov  vs.  Bekzat Almakhan
Eryk Anders  vs.  Jamie Pickett
Javid Basharat vs.  Aiemann Zahabi
Ľudovít Klein  vs.  AJ Cunningham

And for the main event J. Rozenstruik  vs.  Shamil Gaziev hadn't decided on a winner as they both can throw down.
So went for the under 1.5 rounds instead.

Remember this UFC has an early start time tomorrow.

Pretty good to break $60k within a couple of days. It was $51,500 at the beginning of the week. over $9.5k in less than 72 hours is an unreal pump.

Imagine all the bears getting liquidated.
The horror.

Manchester City cleared the two goals you predicted and scored six to two from what I seen on the next day scoreboard results of the League Cup games.
The Saints will be facing the Reds today so that should be a good game to watch as there isn't much else going on.

Buffett and Musk discuss about what the True Currency is and it could be bitcoin with the recent swings it has had since Monday.

Like how he eludes to time as the currency. This could mean a certain selection for his platform's payment system they have been developing and delaying to finally name.

With bitcoin reaching $59,000 which was an increase of 11% in just the past 48 hours many believe it has been due to the amount in the bitcoin spot ETFs in each of the company holdings:

It was a surprise to hear Rosas Jr was fighting Turcios since Raul didn't fight last UFC event due to a last minute withdrawal and Ricky agreeing to a fight the following week.
Weird to hear and looking at the official UFC main website they aren't listed on there as of yet:
https://www.ufc.com/event/ufc-fight-night-march-02-2024
Even though there are 11 bouts scheduled.
Must of been announced after all the MMA youtubers put out their prediction videos too early in the week.

Here are the known changes to the fight card from the UFC site:
https://www.ufc.com/news/ufc-announces-updates-ufc-fight-night-rozenstruik-vs-gaziev

note: after doing a search it was announced 20 minutes ago that the fight is off.

The prizepool listed is wrong though, prizepool is $1M
Yeah it did seem off at first when I saw it. Since Riyadh tournaments prize was $15 million for winning which was significantly more.
This years is said to be worth $45 million which is a mind blowing amount for an Esports tournament.

Ordinals/NFTs are just a waste of time and space.
Never got into them and never will
If theres anything thats a rugpull scam in this world, its NFT's
The way people have been perceiving this recent massive pump have made those same individuals to make a 180.
Anything to do with cryptocurrency has been pumping along with bitcoin, including NFTs and memecoins.

Just have a look at this post on X which makes sense of the recent increase of the cryptocurrency market:

Girona has some good enough odds at home after dropping their form in their last three matches. They should be back to winning when Rayo Vallecano isn't as impressive compared to the other teams they've faced recently and hopefully, they shouldn't be too shaken up from their recent losses/draw.



We also have a daily special for the EPL match (Brentford vs. West Ham), but it's tough to pick a side when both of them are struggling.
Great pick for that match during the special as Girona won convincingly 3-0 yesterday.
The sole EPL match sided with the home team with them getting 2 goals within the first few minutes and with Bowen getting the hat trick.

Today's Special has the Sportsbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) for me showing up.
You need to select the two forum members to win the final round.

UFC Fight Night 237 Moreno versus Royval Results.

Round 1: It was a slow start, both are hesitating to attack, mostly fakes, getting the range, and feeling each other. Royval somehow hurt his left leg by attacking. Moreno was waiting for the counter most of the time, not that aggressive.

Round 2: So different from Round 1. Moreno now stays in the center of the octagon, unlike in the first round.
Round 3: I thought it was going to end here. Royval had a near submission although it was Moreno who was on top. That was a nice defensive maneuver from Royval.
Round 4: Leg kicks from Moreno but he should've done that earlier and it could've affected Royval more if he did.
Round 5: Mostly hard punches from Moreno but the clinches were not going to help. Royval still punching in volumes.

Royval has a big chance to punish Moreno in the body. It was always open but he is too focused on the face.
Royval won in a split decision. It was obvious because he was using the volume punches. He also dominated the center of the octagon. He changed. Tough chin, more stamina, good win.

Herb Dean might've raised his hand too early, they are both Brandon. He is lucky that he raised the correct hand.
Quite an enjoyable UFC event in Mexico with having all my selections correct but exactly when the pulling out of  Rosas Jr. it all went wrong right on cue.
This is when all the underdogs which I hadn't picked all won their bouts.

Saw up until when Yair lost in the co-main then missed the entire main event.
It was funny when the referee was lifting the hand of the winner and thinking the other Brandon won.
It was a close fight from what I heard the next morning.

Looking forward to the Vegas 87 fights on this weekend.

There's now the Dream League season 22 where everyone is now tuning in and the first day of it just ended a few moments ago.
Just looked up some more information about Dream League season 22 and this came up:


ESL pro tour points. Does this replace the DPC points from what the above posters are mentioning which were removed from tournament play?

Wouldn't have known the new seasonal tournament just started if you had not mentioned it.
So thanks for that. Might put in a bet or two in the next few days.
Seem that Aurora, Shopify Rebellion, Team Spirit, and Xtreme Gaming are the teams to look out for.

First race is on first week of March so just over 9 days away which doesn't that long to wait.
In the meantime you can watch the new season for it beginning tomorrow's release date of the 23rd:
https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/netflix-announces-drive-to-survive-season-six-launch-date/10568817

Watching some of the driver's reactions from the testing sessions yesterday, the most surprising one to hear was Leclerc's talking about Hamilton and how he would happy to race along side with him.

Still questioning why they decided to make this move public before this season even began.
It just makes it so very weird to know a driver is splitting from a team they have been the face of for so long while they will be racing for them during the upcoming season.
I'm also surprised to hear Leclerc's thoughts on racing with Hamilton side by side. Actually I knew they had a good friendship so far. But as each one of them is one of the most skilled drivers on the grid I thought Leclerc would prefer less competition against himself. Ferrari don't have a system of hierarchy about their drivers so it would be interesting to watch the competition between them.

Yes, It was really unexpected to hear Hamilton's deciding to join Ferrari in 2025 already now. I think it could have been better to state it officially by the end of this season.
These two's dynamic will be quite different than what Max and Perez have at Red Bull. Where Checo knows he is the second driver and will let Max pass without any competing for first.
But as you had mentioned, I can see both these drivers not letting the other overtake.
That is just not in their nature. They have always been lead drivers at this time in their careers for the teams they have been with.
So it will make for an interesting time to see when they are both racing for the same team.

Watched a couple more episodes of Drive to Survive and it isn't as good as the very first season was.
But there are parts in it where you can see they are eluding to Lewis making the move to Ferrari.

While watching the JRE podcast heard an experienced gambler who had bet over a million on the Super Bowl and won his bet on the Chiefs.
This wasn't the first time he bet big on it and won.
He had bet on the Saints and Colts which had to have been the biggest bet placed on it being $4.5 million.
The strategy he used seems to be just taking every aspect of the game into account. Right from the type of surface being played on to how the players are getting along with eachother for the week of the game.

Just checked for the sportsbet specials but those aren't there for me or might be because there is only 5 minutes left until the game starts.
So they might have been taken away already.

EFL Cup is happening with Liverpool vs Chelsea in a few minutes.
Here are the markets for those who still want to bet on the match:

With the BRC-20 tokens taking up the majority of the block size on transactions sent to the bitcoin blockchain in the past three weeks causing chaos and having users of bitcoin paying enormous fees, one of the first exchanges in the US have had enough.
They sent their customer base newsletter out in an email late yesterday about a certain token known as pepe.
The email entails and describing the Pepe meme as a hate symbol co-opted by alt-right groups has drawn significant ire from the PEPE memecoin community.
source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/coinbase-calls-pepe-a-hate-symbol-prompting-calls-to-boycott-the-exchange
Only 24 hours ago the pepecoin backers with the community on twitter were asking Coinbase to list the BRC-20 token on their exchange with screen captures of the symbol on their own webpage, either real or photoshopped on several of crypto influencers twitter feeds.
But now they are all up in arms against the American exchange with these mass emails being sent out with no hope in sight for their beloved green frogfaced meme which was created back in 2005 and made the rounds on huge online media sites such as reddit and 4chan.
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/05/11/coinbase-newsletter-flags-rise-of-pepecoin-and-brc-20-tokens-irks-crypto-twitter

Since then, there was some news about pepe & memecoins topping Coinbase in trading volume just today.
Uniswap Volume Leapfrogs Coinbase Thanks to Pepe and Meme Coins
https://decrypt.co/139594/uniswap-volume-leapfrogs-coinbase-pepe-meme-coins
"Uniswap still looks to be slightly ahead of Coinbase, with $1.2 billion volume compared to the San Francisco-based exchange’s $948 million."

Very interesting how these tokens which have no utility or intrinsic value except to the one's holding it, has up ended the king of all crypto and has caused a flurry of problems for the over 14 year cryptocurrency.

Well, honestly speaking, even though there are a lot of haters on Pepe Coin, it is getting even hotter in this field. Actually, there are only two meme coins that I have, and they are Pepe and Shiba Inu. I also think that these two are okay to give me profit.

Especially in the Pepe coin, it will face the bull run that is coming for the first time in reality. No matter what others say that pepe coin is not good, I will still hold for it because many people have been humiliated for saying that pepe coin is not good.
There has and will always be traffic on uniswap.
That is a given when it comes to swapping out tokens to another in the transferring of value.
Where it shows is the increase in their own cryptocurrency $UNI going from over $7 to just under $11.96 earlier on the other day/
That is a massive increase of nearly 40%.

Pepe coin forks have surfaced aswell and the one which was created by a major influencer in the space Pauly called $PORK.
Here is the video about it which doesn't seem to do anything just like pepe:

Games of the future for Dota 2, a lot of teams have already eliminated and we're about to get down to 4 teams remaining. The last on going match right now is with PSG.Quest and Boom Esports.

While it is not surprising to see that 3 out of these 4 remaining teams are from the China region. This is already a foreshadowing that we're going to have a chinese team being champion of this tournament.  Cheesy
Like the name of this tournament in DOTA2 when I first seen it while searching for some matches to place bets on during the week.

There were some matches going on for CS2. Was watching a bit of the games being played over the course of the week.
Intel Extreme Masters South America Closed Qualifier for the upcoming tournament in Dallas.
Looks like 9z overpowered all their opponents to take first place.
