I am beginning to doubt this Do Kwon announcement. I am not certain why bitcoin is dumping, however, I speculate that Do Kwon is using Terra to buy his own personal bitcoin holdings that he might have bought during the bear market. I also speculate that Michael Saylor might be doing this also. I cannot prove this, however. I only speculate and scratch my head hehehe.
I also think the same as you... when the bitcoin price dump, I suspect michael saylor sell his hold and has taken profit from bitcoin - then bought it back at a lower price, as well as do kwon, it is very clear that he uses the profits he gets from terra to buy bitcoins personally. I'm curious about what will happen to the future of terra tokens and terra stablecoins. Yesterday had a news: A wallet is said to be Microstrgety's wallet that has sold more than 1500 BTC yesterday. Michael Saylor always said that he only bought and hold Bitcoin not selling, but behind him to sell his Bitcoin to Bitcoin dumping. This is just a rumor circulating on social media and I still can't confirm if it's true. Main address: 1p5zedwtktfgxqjzphgwpqupe554wkdfhq Address of sub-management: 1fzwlkaahhoov3kztgyx6qsswxj6scxksr " https://twitter.com/Coinsandtoken/status/1517045545889636355 Unconfirmed. And who is that guy? Just another clout chasing account who just wants some engagement to increase his follower count. It appears that there is a new entry in the algorithmic stable coin market. Justin Sun and his USDD hehehe. According to their development team, USDD will also hold a reserve worth $10 billion similar to Terra's UST. However, it might not be 100% in bitcoin. They only mentioned $10 billion of highly liquid assets. I am quite certain bitcoin will be a big portion of this and it will certainly provide more buy pressure for bitcoin. TRON DAO joined hands with major blockchain players to launch USDD (Decentralized USD), the most decentralized stablecoin in human history, making finance accessible to all by applying mathematics and algorithms. As a result, it enjoys perpetual existence without relying on any centralized entities.
The roadmap of TRON-based USDD consists of four stages—1.0 Space, 2.0 ISS, 3.0 Moon, and 4.0 Mars—echoing both mankind’s and TRON's efforts in future space exploration. In 1.0 Space, the USDD management will be entrusted to the TRON DAO Reserve and other major blockchain institutions. The former will be tasked to provide custody service for the $10 billion worth of highly liquid assets raised from initiators of the blockchain industry, use them as an early-stage reserve, keep the exchange rate of USDD stable, and enforce convertibility fully.Source https://www.hejustinsun.com/post/an-open-letter-on-the-issuance-of-usdd-a-decentralized-algorithmic-stablecoin-on-tronSo it looks like not even Do Kwon, Saylor and Elon Musk could save BTC from going red. Let's see what Justin Sun can do. I'll be rooting for him.  It would be so hilarious if he and his crew could start buying BTC back up to break 50k. Lol. And in case you guys didn't know Justin Sun and CZ are really buddies behind the scenes. So don't believe everything you read in the paper folks. Afaik the Chinese always support each other. |

^ That's the problem with that kind of thinking. 'Faith' has nothing to do with price. And yeah I kinda agree with May. Nobody knows. I've been some guys saying sell in 'May and stay away' implying a slightly downward trend and possible more sell downs. Dunno... Just stay safe out there.
Anyway, check out the price... And just like that BTC was breaking above 42k with 45k looking to be a sure thing then out from nowhere somebody pushes it back down to 40k. Market is spooked and down it goes some more to 39k with 38k looking very likely. :/

^ I know what you mean. It's really hard fading Real Madrid with Benzema running hot. The odds for them winning the UCL is at 6.65 rn. I think that's good value considering that City does choke at crucial moments just like we've seen them do for the last three UCL seasons now..? I really thought last year was gonna be their year. I'm now thinking Pep might not win the UCL with City. This is his last chance.
But Liverpool is a problem tho. No one can touch them... I'm thinking it's gonna be an all English final but yeah, we can't discount Real Madrid.

^ The Swede girl Smilla Sundell was pretty good. I mean at only 17 and getting the W the way she did vs a seasoned Muay Thai fighter in Jackie Buntan. Wow... I don't think I ever saw someone break Buntan's face like that. I wasn't really interested in ONE's Muay Thai and kickboxing circuit but I'm a fan now of Sundell. Can't wait for her next match.  And I didn't notice that we have two Bellator events back to back. Lol. The UFC should do something like it. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/87504-bellator-278https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/87505-bellator-279Betting tip for Bellator events. Parlay the favorites. Happening more than not, the fights are mismatches esp at the lower level. |

^ Yeah I'm having the same expectations with Verstappen on the wet track too. But after FP1, it looks like it wouldn't matter judging how the Ferrari cars are having too much of an advantage against their rivals. It also looks like my little secret market could win more than 50% if I keep putting money on it for the whole season... That's if the line is 1.80 or above for the whole season.
Anyway, just 10 minutes away for qualifying guys.

Mercedes have said they may be bringing upgrades to Imola, but I don't think it can be enough to propel them to the front of the grid. Their lack of pace has been hidden a bit by some bunching behind safety cars which reduces the gap at the end of the race, and their positions have been boosted by some DNFs... but the fact remains that the Mercedes is about a second per lap slower than the Ferrari and the Red Bull. It seems incredibly unlikely that they could bridge that gap with just one set of upgrades.
I think the updates would involve something like bringing back the side pods for the Mercedes in order to very slightly reduce the down force and in effect also reduces porpoising which really is the real problem with the 2022 cars. Ferrari seems to have solved the issue or have less of the issue. Anyway there's one betting market I'm looking to bet at every race for the whole season if it continues to be 1.80 or better and if Leclerc really goes on a dominant run this year. |

Good idea but BTC right now is signaling bullish or least far more positive action. This is mid week and we can always take a sharp turn but its building positively from what I can tell. In simpliest terms, reference to the 50 day average, we are recovering back above that but also 2 day and weekly averages. Just above the 42k price now is monthly but really staying above 50 day has me thinking BTC will progress positively for this month and possibly medium term.  Really bullish target would be the 48k shown in this chart, which is about the 200 day average. I think we are more slowly gaining so not this month but generally seems quite a genuine turn upwards and not the negative breakdown some feared. Yeah BTC is looking good rn but it's not out of the woods yet imho. Just a little bit more if it can break out and stay above resistance of around 44k - 45k. It has been trying to break out of it for 4 times now since Feb but it hasn't been successful so far. Hopefully this next one could finally do it. But still unsure as there are lots of stuff going on around the world that could take everything down again. We'll see... |

^ ^ It's starting imho. All it takes is a little bit more of critical thinking and for the people in the Bitcoin community to start asking questions. The most obvious one being why are there still lots of DNM users still continuing to use BTC? They should drop it as BTC isn't really built for keeping your wallets' blockchain info safe from the prying eyes of TPTB. Even their most prized use case of the store of value narrative isn't really that strong without Monero's features. And it is sad that the WO has gotten so out of hand.
I'm trying to remember when it wasn't. I've got nothing. I blame cAPSLOCK and Heuristic Just curious... What happened? |

Oh please.
SHIB is nothing but a shitcoin that is going to trend towards zero as a matter of time.
The RH listing is probably the pinnacle of the hype, and likely one of the last times that SHIB will see a significant green candle come its way. Memecoins will be the hardest hit in this bear market, mark my words.
No one is claiming SHIB to be the second coming bud. I'm just saying that the way they have risen in value and how they are holding value is impressive. Look at DOGE ffs. Lmao. And exactly, it is hype. That's why when it pumps, traders love to ride it. No one ever bought it because they think it's the best investment. I mean for that, just buy BTC, XMR or even ETH. Despite the shib listed news on Robinhood, there are rumors that the owner is Elon Musk and Vitalik, but the truth can't be proven. I'm not really interested in meme coins, but I do hold this coin even if a little, at least if there is a pump, I will get a lot of money, but if it's the other way around, then it's not a regret. afraid to invest big funds here, it should be like your advice. and here we are just having fun to make a fortune from shiba You know it's funny, I was just thinking about exactly that a while ago when I was reading through this thread. But I'm thinking it's more about Vitalik Buterin or one of the ETH devs close to him than Elon Musk who's mostly just an investor in the space. And 50% of SHIB's supply did go to Vitalik Buterin's public wallet as some sort of 'meta' according to SHIB's lead dev Ryoshki. So that's prolly a clue. The biggest clue is SHIB's staying power at the top 20 at CMC. Something tells me its rise to become one the biggest altcoins isn't a fluke. Somebody, some whale is prolly is backing SHIB from the start. |

For me I use cryptocurrency for anonymous transaction and to avoid KYC also, I find it way more convenient to deposit than using common deposits from third party services and it's easier for me to access cryptocurrency rather than using bank cards.
While for me it's because of my sig campaign.  I have a weekly inflow of 80 bucks of BTC to bet on sports which is really enough to keep me entertained tbh. I'm not a whale or anything. I just like to watch football, MMA and F1 with or without bets but if I have free monies coming in weekly then why not gamble and try to win more, not that it matters. It's all fun... It'd be nice if crypto had a poker site with good traffic at the microstakes so we could have a chance to build a decent roll. I think that's what's lacking in the space. |

And AJ McKee... Was his win at the first fight just a fluke? Would like to see a third match up. Pitbull had a good game plan and went with it nicely.
So many factors can come into play here, but Pitbull sticking to a good game plan is something I would expect from a seasoned veteran like he is. Also, and I really hate bringing that argument up, but maybe Pitbull just had a mental slippage in the first fight and just got caught sort of speaking. A 5 round full fight is a better indicator of where their levels stand at. This is more in the lines I was expecting in the first fight tbh. Yup true. I'm hearing AJ McKee doesn't want to have a third fight and he's thinking of going up in weight class at 155. You think he's dodging Pitbull or is he just trying to play mind games? I think he doesn't have to play mind games as the third fight will always be there for him since he won the first match real quick. Anyway, I missed the PFL. Was the main event good? I've seen meme saying it was a nail biter if you had money on Collard. Edit: ONE event on Friday. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/87416-one-championship-reloaded |

I think the top 4 will be:
Liverpool
Man City
Chelsea
Spurs
You just might me right because Tottenham still have the advantage over Manchester United but if Arsenal win their game in hand they will be up there with Tottenham. The match between Manchester United and Liverpool is not one that either Liverpool or Manchester United would want to play at this point in the season, when both teams need to win to stay in contention for their respective positions. Liverpool needs 3 points to keep pace with Manchester City at the top of the table, while Manchester United needs 3 points to remain in contention for a place in the top four. Liverpool has a good chance of winning this match. You are absolutely right both teams will be going for a win, they both need 3 points. If Liverpool win they severely dent the hopes of their opponent in finishing 4th and if Manchester United win they severely dent the hopes of their opponent in finishing as champions. What a game it will be but it is stacked heavily in favour of Liverpool to win. RESULT: Liverpool 4-0 Manchester UnitedLiverpool move 2 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League after demolishing Manchester United in the game played earlier this evening. No one can go near Liverpool at the moment. I feel like they're gonna take the top spot in a couple of weeks or so with City having a tough match up in the UCL vs Real Madrid. I hear Benzema is running hot... Pep tends to mid curve it and over think. And I'll be going at it again and ape Liverpool again this weekend. They're playing vs Everton at home so it should be easy pickings. Liverpool to win to nil at 1.93, BTTS no and over 2.5 goals at 3.25 and Liverpool to win both halves at 2.27. |

There is lot of talking that Jon Jones is finally coming back to fighting in octagon with man, not fighting girls and woman in his personal life anymore.
His opponent should be Stipe Miocic if everything goes well, and I am excited to see if he can really compete in heavyweight division.
I am not sure in what shape Miocic is now and he needs to step up if he wants to come back after that nasty defeat from N'Gannou.
I have a feeling that any hype that was produced when JBJ first said he would be fighting at HW is long gone by now. Stipe is not the champ anymore, and Jones fights so sporadically that people have moved on, especially regarding his out of the octagon behavior. I myself was excited about something like that when it first was talked about, but now, there is so much going on in the other divisions that this seems fairly bland. Maybe I change my tune if it really gets set up, but until then... ^ Yup same.. And I think the UFC would make a match for the winner as interim champion since Ngannou is still recovering from his knee surgery. Dana White is trying to leverage that interim belt to make sure Ngannou stays in line and fights or he'll be stripped off his title. Ngannou is undergoing a contract dispute with the UFC. Here's jeremypwr's multi master in case some of you guys haven't made your picks yet. UFC Fight Night 205 Multi Master Challengehttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395141.0Here's my event's lottery tickets. Lol. Andrade - Romanov - Dean at 1.71 Add: Kape - Aori at 3.55 Add: Guida - Vannata - Barriault at 19.43 Add: Dela Rosa - Grant - Prachniao at 177.49 Add: Villianueva at 887.43 Take note that my picks for the multi master and my full card parlay have two picks that are different. I think Barber and Pedro will be the pie shitters of the week. |

^ We ain't seen nothing yet as far as narratives go imho. Give it a little more time, when XMR claws its way back to top 10 at CMC the 'narrative' would be if Monero's privacy make XMR a better store of value and a better medium of exchange. Just watch the news... I know some of it would be clickbait but most of it would be the truth. I mean would a billionaire want to hold his money in BTC and be on a list somewhere for everyone to see? :/ I don't think so... He would like to park his money somewhere more private.
Just a couple or so Bitcoin halvings more...

Ferrari certainly has the best package at the moment in terms of performance and reliability, in the corners the Ferrari is very fast and on the straights they have a reliable and strong power unit. RedBull is slightly faster on the straights, which is actually unusual, but the power unit is not reliable enough to always be operated at the limit. If there are more defects, there will soon be a penalty for RedBull.
Mercedes does not yet understand the porposing exactly, but in the last race Hamilton had sensors on the car, which is not usual to understand it better. Will be an exciting season with no advantages for Ferrari.
For Imola, RedBull is rumored to bring a new big update on his suspension. Ferrari however is rumored to have 0 updates but hard work on proposing. Ferrari is also rumored to have an engine upgrade to fight the top speed of Redbull with then engine 2, and if nothing happens will be in Barcelona. I'm not too excited with any update from Red Bull if it isn't an update for their power unit. But I don't think we'll be seeing much of 'new engine updates' from them anyway... So yeah, I think it's gonna be another Ferrari win at Imola. Leclerc doesn't seem to have lost track position that he started with at every race in this track. I don't see any reason how that would change unless some dumb accident happens. Oh and it's in Italy... |

I forgot to post the results the other day, so here they are:  Arron Pico is on a mean win streak. I remember his first fight, he was so hyped and his loss was, I would say, really mocked, however, he has really hyped his game since, and I remember a couple of nasty TKOs (the body punch one springs to mind). And he's only 25 yo, so he still has some time in this game. The result sucked for Corey Anderson with the match ending in a no contest instead of going to the score cards as a couple of rounds has already passed. The head butt wasn't intentional. The rematch would have Anderson as a 1.65 favorite or lower. He exposed Nemkov. And AJ McKee... Was his win at the first fight just a fluke? Would like to see a third match up. Pitbull had a good game plan and went with it nicely. |

This was a long-winded one. A ton of decisions. Well, I'd say Muhamad was not impressed by Luqes BJJ accolades as there were takedowns A plenty. So Belal is now in an interesting situation. However, I would like to see a rematch with Edwards before the Colby callout materializes. I am not sure if back-to-back rematches are good for his career though. I mean, this division is a nightmare for matchmaking, but no sleeping on Muhamad.
It is funny how he was at the UFC desk just a month ago giving advice on how the matches were going for these UFC bouts. I've seen him fight before but it seemed he was not wanting to fight up until this match with Luque came along. He looked to be quite comfortable just giving his technical analyst of the fights and not actually doing the fighting. But glad he won as I had him on most if not all of my bets for the UFC this past weekend. Belal Muhammad wants a title shot one day. So he would only take on opponents who would take him a step nearer to that goal if he gets the W. Luque was one of those fighters. I think he'll be given one more match up vs a top 5 guy then a title shot if he wins... Leon Edwards is scheduled to fight Usman, Covington is up in the air as he won vs Masvidal but also lost to Usman twice, so maybe Covington? Then again Chimaev is also in the mix so it's prolly him too. Anyway, who you guys got at first glance on the next event's roster? |

^ Same.. I fear for City. And Liverpool i still live in achieving the greatest feat in EPL history. Winning the EPL, the UCL, the FA Cup and the League Cup. They already got one in the bag with the league cup, so three more to go. I'm not Liverpool supporter but I shall be rooting for them to win all 4 cups. I'm a fan of Klopp since his days at BVB and a fan of LFC's playing style. And it looks like it's going to be a grrreat game later. I'm thinking Liverpool win -2 at 2.50, BTTS no and over 2.5 goals at 4.60, Liverpool to win both halves at 2.85 and Liverpool to win to nil at 2.43... What do you guys think? |
