This will certainly be difficult for Canelo to use his combinations if everything he punches is the shadow of Bivol.
If Bivol is like that, Canelo will surely know how to handle that type of fighter. In his total record, there should be a boxer that Canelo fought before who also like to distance. There's also no mentioned regarding that by some analysis that makes me think it can't be consider as an advantage for Bivol. Also, it will be Canelo's first time to fight in light heavyweight. This might cause him to become slower.
That was supposed to be the usual thing to happen to any boxer that moving up weight but contrary to that, analyst even says that Canelo shouldn't have a problem with that. That's also one of the reason why Canelo is the favorite to win the match even he's the one that is taking the challenge. However, I will still tell you not to underestimate Bivol. Also how will you bet on Canelo? Will he win by a knockout? Through a decision? How would we know this? Bivol is still undefeated in his weight division. The pressure is on Canelo and I am afraid this fight might not be so easy for him. |

That whole exchange is hilarious. Why is Gavin Andresen expecting any shred of privacy while using Coinbase? I guess if he is naive enough to think an obvious scammer is Satoshi then he's naive enough to believe Coinbase's lies about protecting your data? And then Brian Armstrong offers no explanation at all, just says "Sorry, but still give us your info!" And they are using yet another shady third party to collect this info?
I am firmly convinced Coinbase are an exchange only in the same way Meta are a social media platform. They are data harvesters, first and foremost. Everything you send them will be shared, monetized, and used against you.
KYC is okay for exchanges to remain compliant with American regulators, however, asking for 3 months of bank statements is too much, I reckon. I have mentioned this in the press subforum before, I predict in the next years people below a certain level of annual salary will not be permitted to invest in the cryptospace. |

Like all the other early big fights of Canelo he is the heavy favorite, here only two people out of 30 voters here believe Bivol can beat Canelo, I have this feeling Bivol is the weakest opponent Canelo will face, he lacks defense doesn't have a good lateral movement and flatfooted, something Canelo exploits with that kind of moves.
Alvarez - 27 (90%)
Bivol - 2 (6.7%)
Draw - 1 (3.3%)
Total Voters: 30
It is now 3 votes hehehe. Add me to team Bivol. Also after reviewing some of the posts in this thread, it appears that Dmitry Bivol might be very underestimated for this fight! I do not know Bivol very much, however, after watching videos of his fights, he is certainly an expert in controlling the distance. This might be difficult for Canelo who is shorter in height and in reach, I reckon. Bivol also has power in his left hook and his straight right punch. Similar to Canelo, he also likes punching the body. In all the fights I've seen on Canelo except the Mayweather fight his opponent's reach and height advantage is useless Callum is 1.98 cm while Canelo is 1.78 a big difference in height but he makes Smith a short fighter with his timing and body shots he is always an advantage when his opponents are taller than him, he is an exceptionally gifted fighter Bivol may be a good fighter but so are the fighters that Canelo beat. However, watch the style of Bivol. He is a master of controlling his distance. This will certainly be difficult for Canelo to use his combinations if everything he punches is the shadow of Bivol. Also, it will be Canelo's first time to fight in light heavyweight. This might cause him to become slower. |

I guess the car crash is really eye opener for him, or maybe it just really hardened him up because if he can beat that car crash and come back in boxing and win against one of the toughest fighter in that division (Shawn Porter), then he has the confidence that he can beat everyone else even Manny although he just to beat another injury (eye). Now he is going to face Ugas. And we see him as the favorite again, so he will do everything to continue his undefeated record and then look for the biggest fight in the division next.
Damn his body recovery. Almost beaten badly by the car crash and was almost on the verge of death but now, looks like there's no sign that he suffers a big accident. In some cases, these people will end up just resting but look at Spence, still fighting on his usual. But honestly, that was good that Spence showed like that since no turning back for his opponent. We, as fans, want to see both giving their 100% on this fight. It's a big title match at stake here. A big one that will bring your name on top. After this, the winner can call for Crawford and take every title in this division. I would love to see Spence and Crawford though, something that fans wanted to see just like how Pacquiao and Mayweather back then. This would be another title match that will gain huge attentions from both fans and gamblers. Let see first if Spence will win this fight against Ugas before we talk further with the next possible fight. The winner will certainly be Errol Spence, however, I disagree that he will be calling Terence Crawford's name after the victory. Spence might be using Floyd Mayweather's tactic where he will say no on an opportunity to fight the best to make the present offers increase on the next offer. Mayweather said no to Manny Pacquiao more than 2 times to increase the offer before he said yes hehehe. |

I also find it interesting what Canada did seizing assets from centralized entities - bitcoin, Canadian dollars etc. If anyone anywhere in the world is relying on a centralized exchange/other entity to protect them from the police power of the government they are in for a rude wakeup call eventually. If you have bitcoin at a centralized entity for anything other than trading, you should rethink that position. Authoritarians like Trudeau want power and are willing to do whatever they can to get it. There are people like that involved in the governments the world over. Bitcoin, when you hold your own keys, helps prevent these evil people from controlling everyone else. News update. The skeptical me thinks that this executive order might really be the Biden administration’s way to quicken the implementation and release of the American government’s CBDC. What they will certainly also do is create an envronment where it would be very hard to use bitcoin and other cryptocoins legally and begin promoting CBDC. It might be by 2024, America might make the first CBDC issuance. U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to issue an executive order on cryptocurrency this week, an administration official familiar with the matter reportedly told Yahoo Finance. The news of the Biden administration preparing an executive order on crypto was first reported in January.
The executive order will direct a wide range of government agencies to study cryptocurrency and central bank digital currency (CBDC), and come up with a government-wide strategy to regulate crypto assets, the publication conveyed.Source https://news.bitcoin.com/us-president-biden-issue-executive-order-on-crypto/However, holders of bitcoin will also be having their own wakeup call if their addresses are given restrainng orders by a judge similar to those Canadian protestor's wallets. A judge ordered that transactions going out of those wallets were illegal and the owners can be imprisoned. I am not certain what would happen to the receivers of the transactions, however. The government might have the right to take them for questioning. |

@magneto. Agreed that NFTs are also speculative investments very much similar to cryptocoins. However, how did we know that also flipping for quick profits was not people of the same group who were laundering their money througn opensea.io? It might be harder to separate the 2 in reality, I reckon.

It will not be in China, I reckon. This move will certainly be politicized by the Biden administration because China is a silent ally of Russia. Dana is also a popular supporter of the Donald Trump during his presidential campaigns. He does not want give Biden the wrong type of attention hehehe. However, the UFC can always go to fight island, Abu Dhabi for international fights.
Australia is also open for UFC. Do they have sanctions against Russia? I did not hear that. It will be funny if they have. Where is Australia and where is Russia. I dont think that any major business has connections with Russia. Abu Dhabi is an excellent place to make international fights or fights where athletes from Russia compete. Its infrastructure is highly developed, they have experience. And even if they dont have something to run an event, they can create in no time. Australia is an American ally, if the Biden administration orders bans or sanctions on all Russian athletes, the government of Australia will certainly follow. It will not be in China, I reckon. This move will certainly be politicized by the Biden administration because China is a silent ally of Russia. Dana is also a popular supporter of the Donald Trump during his presidential campaigns. He does not want give Biden the wrong type of attention hehehe. However, the UFC can always go to fight island, Abu Dhabi for international fights.
Yes they can go to Fight Island AbuDhabi but UFC will be forced to remove all fighters coming from Russia and they won't be able to travel anywhere in the world. Only solution would be if they move if they move to live in some other country, but I am not sure how they are going to receive paychecks in future when Russia is now excluded from banking and cards. Maybe paying them in Bitcoin would be possible  I reckon if payments are done in cryptocoins they should never use bitcoin hehehe. I will not shill what altcoin they should choose, however, it would be safer for them to use something that would give them more anonymity if they do not restraining orders on their public addresses similar to those Canadian protestors hehe. |

Bored apes yacht club owners are being forced to submit documents for KYC according to some users of opensea.io who shared this screenshot in social media. I reckon that BAYC founders themselves might be speculating that strict regulations are coming for NFTs and the NFT market or they are trying to protect their art pieces from being used for moneylaundering and tax evasion. This might be published on cryptonews websites within 1 week.  |

pornluver's problem with his KYC will be nothing when this new issue in Coinbase begins being published on the news hehe. I am not quite certain if this is real or are they trolling, however, this might be the beginning of something that might become normal for users of Coinbase who are living in America. Can anyone who use Coinbase confirm this? Kraken and Binance US users might be next, I reckon.  |

It is obvious that any competition where there are subjective assessments is corrupt to one degree or another, since each jury member pursues his own interests. But I think that most people understand this and do not take this competition seriously - it's just a corporate distribution of awards.
There was a time in which these awards were taken way more seriously, as you say it is impossible that in something that is so subjective there is not going to be some sort of corruption, but at least there was some agreement between the critics in the population about the most important awards, however now the distance between those parties is so big that the public in general is losing interest in the awards as they do not see themselves reflected in the opinion of the critics. This is quite logical. I'm used to the situation (I consider it normal) when experts represent the opinion of the majority or at least different cultural strata. But when experts exist in a vacuum and give each other awards for all sorts of bullshit like the Malevich square (just for example), it starts to piss me off and I stop paying attention to them. Agreed. I reckon the Oscar awards are not the real representation of what is the best. The voting process is always mixed with politics and what is the social message of the year. It is only a representation of what is the best according to the members of the academy. I am quite certain the winners would change if we also include the fans in the voting process similar to Eurovision. In any case, my best picture of 2021 would be Coda, best actor would be Tyrion Lannister hehe, best actress would be Emilia Jones and best director would Denis Villenueve. |

@Dave1. I am not certain if everything is real in this article too, however, why would the Verge publish such an article if the story in there is fake. It will give them a problematic lawsuit from Justin Sun and his lawyers. Is this a parody article and the Verge assumed that the readers will also assume it as a parody?
|
|
|

I reckon Justin Sun's story in the cryptospace deserves to be recreated into a tv series or a Netflix series hehe. This is a very long article where the truth would appear to be a comedy because everything you read is unbelievable. However, if everything is 100% true, I respect Justin Sun's work. He is one of the best scammers in the cryptospace hehehehe. Justin Sun might do the same tactic that CZ did on Forbes and also buy shares of the Verge hehe. BitTorrent’s C-suite executives, just in from San Francisco, were ferried from Hotel Shangri-La in Beijing to a coworking space and led into a glass-enclosed conference room. Sun took the head of the table and read a typed speech, calling himself “Chairman Mao,” telling the C-suite executives they were “his generals” and that, together, they would massacre their competition. “People were feeling uncomfortable and incredulous at the euphemisms and metaphors,” a person who was present said. When Sun finished, BitTorrent’s CEO made a key observation: “Weren’t all of Mao’s generals killed?” To which Sun supposedly confirmed, “Yes, yes.”Also, this is funny hehe. Everywhere else at Poloniex, token listing requirement approvals slackened — a return to “YOLO Polo,” as one employee described it. Sun also began impatiently bulldozing Poloniex’s KYC rules, which were slowing Poloniex’s user adoption in China to a crawl. A former employee said the logjam enraged Sun. “Fake the KYC!” he screamed at one meeting. “Fake it!” Read in full https://www.theverge.com/c/22947663/justin-sun-tron-cryptocurrency-poloniex |

" Interest in NFT and metaverse drops: Google Trends
Based on data from Google Trends, searches for the words "NFT" and "metaverse" dropped sharply in February. They fell by 68% and 64%, respectively.
Also, over the past week, NFT's trading volume dropped by 32%. Now it amounts to $407 mln. " Source: https://t.me/incrypted/12642 This is not very shocking if everyone will consider that the cryptospace always a hype and pump stage that has always been followed by a fud and dump stage later in this cycle. It is very much similar as ICOs and Defi. However, did ICOs and Defi die? No they became important parts of the continued existence of cryptospace and its culture. NFTs will become part of this culture too, I reckon. |

Everyone is speculating on NFT and the metaverse might be the next industry move and I agree, however, no one is speculating on the hyperdollarization of the gambling industry in the cryptospace through stablecoins. Also not only USDT or USDC, also decntralized stablecoins like DAI, TUSD and others too. I mentioned this before, if there was a smart owner of a gambling site, he would begin accepting stablecoins now while the cryptospace is under a bear market.
really good take dollar-pegged coins will probably grow up in terms of % of total dollars in existence and may be a good option for those who want no exposure to crypto volatility (only exposure to fiat volatiliy, but this is a different story) Tether and USDC hyperdollarized the exchanges of the cryptospace. DAI, Terra and other decentralized stablecoins are hyperdollarizing Defi. I reckon other forms of services in the cryptospace that handles money should also follow. They cannot let their users coins become $1.00 tomorrow and be $0.50 on the next day hehehe. A cryptogambling service with stablecoins and Defi features will certainly be a big industry move. |

Looks like there will be some problems with the next fight in London. Dana White wants to have the Russian fighters there but he smells the troubles coming.
I expected this to happen and I was surprised to see this weekend fight card is going normal with Magomed Ankalaev and Azamat Murzakanov coming from Russia. One solution could be to use Khabib's Eagle FC for local fights, but if situation continue to escalate we might see MMA moving to China for international fights including all countries. I never understood why people who play sport gets banned because of politics but I guess it's all connected. It will not be in China, I reckon. This move will certainly be politicized by the Biden administration because China is a silent ally of Russia. Dana is also a popular supporter of the Donald Trump during his presidential campaigns. He does not want give Biden the wrong type of attention hehehe. However, the UFC can always go to fight island, Abu Dhabi for international fights. Will Khabib's Eagle FC continue their promotion in America? Are the allowed? |

@PrimeNumber7. Have you seen their social media accounts, their videos or their pictures? I reckon those people do not appear like they can hack Bitfinex. They might only be the scapegoats. Also, I really speculate that the real hackers might behind this is within the American government and the scapegoat couple is being paid to play their part in a scheme to retrieve the coins.

@timerland. Agreed! Their reputations began falling when Sifu was discovered to be one of the Quadrigacx scammers. I also speculate that the securities and exchange commission of Andre Cronje's country might have sent him a letter telling him that an investigation will begin on him hehehe.
In any case, some of his projects were not rugs. Yearn Finance is not a rug, also some of his early projects in Fantom are not rugs. However, Solidly and Solidex might be rugs. They were the last projects to have the community provide the liquidity for Andre, Anton, Dani and Sifu to dump hehe.

Just recently, Bob Arums claimed that a clash and rematch between Nonito Donaire and Naoya Inoue might take place next month. Although unusual to see that there still no clear updates now. Donaire-Inoue rematch in April ‘really close,’ says Arum.It's better for me to have this first before anything else. They need a rematch. Donaire is the first boxer to give Inoue a tough and bloodied fight even. They should settle it for the 2nd time. Wow, now Donaire got Inoue first. A lot are wanting to see the Inoue vs. Casimero. But seems that Donaire will finally settle what's left here. Can Donaire beat Inoue before his retirement? This will be another interesting fight. April is already next month, so maybe, both camps are in the final arrangement regarding this deal. But when it comes to favorite, I believe, Inoue will still be favored here and Donaire will be the underdog. Regarding the gap of odds, may not be that wide. I disagree because Casimero's name is not as big as Nonito Donaire. Casimero's was also made to look like a clown versus Rigondeaux after he was saying before the fight that he would knock Rigondeaux out. Donaire's last 2 fights ended his opponents in knockouts. If you are the promoter would you promote the fight that will be liked less and sell less tickets or will you promote a rematch between 2 exciting boxers in the bantamweight division? However, why is Bob Arum making this fight only 1 month after the speculative announcement? Inoue and Donaire do not need to train? But this is an important fight. |
