Heehhe we should do something similar to this. We should make the bottom placer have an embarassing avatar or personal message for 1 week. I am quite certain we can ask permission from the loser's campaign manager to allow the participant to wear something different for 1 week. Our new favorite league the UFL will begin on March 31. Is everyone excited?  ESPN’s 21-game slate, including 10 games on ABC, kicks off on Sunday, March 31, featuring an afternoon doubleheader.Source https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/02/espns-2024-united-football-league-schedule-revealed/However, the season is until June. After this there will only be 2 months for waiting hehehe. |

I think this should be in the off-topic section. This post is not really talking about any altcoins but rather influencers involved with cryptocurrencies. That is not the same I have no idea who these people are. I am quite interested though. Who are we rooting for? And why are they even fighting in the first place? Was there an on-going feud between the two influencers? What will happen if one wins? What is at stake here? I don’t understand gambling on influencers  but if this seems to be such a historical event that I might as well tune in. I very much disagree. This is the beginning of a cryptospace culture occurrence that we are presently witnessing. How can this be offtopic? If you are following the cryptospace in social media, I reckon you would understand. I wanted to create the thread in gambling discussion subforum, however, this subforum might be more thrilled for this hehehee. @OgNasty. What memecoins and tokens will pump and dump if Bitboy is the winner? This might be an occurrence for speculating on quick pumps ehehehee! |

There's already 1 week before this month ends. Maybe Canelo and PBC should reach an agreement otherwise it will be a late notice to the opponent for Cinco De Mayo. I believe Canelo starts training a few days from now or who knows he is already starting his light training. Potential opponents like Jermall, Benavidez, Crawford, and Mungia better start their light training as well or they do not have proper training camps if they wait for the official decision of Canelo.
So it looks like Canelo wants Jermall but PBC wants Benavidez or Mungia. But I guess Canelo will make the final decision as he might have the right to terminate the contract with PBC. I am not confident that PBC has the money or sponsor to offer Canelo $55 million to fight Benavidez but who knows? And it also looks like PBC is protecting Jermall's 0 too.
I reckon that they would not give the offer with confidence of getting the funds and making more from it after the fight. However, I understand the skepticism because only Canelo has a name that is very known outside of the boxing community. I speculate if this event was going to be created in Saudi Arabia with the support of the Saudi royal family, we can be certain that money will be flowing out of the promoters' ears hehehee. The WBC president uncle Mauricio has also appeared to change his mind on David Benavidez's next opponent. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said this Thursday through his social networks that David Benavidez's next opponent will not be Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez as had been said in recent hours, and that the interim light heavyweight championship will be disputed by the American fighter of Mexican descent and the Ukrainian Oleksandr Gvozdyk.Source https://www.marca.com/en/boxing/2024/02/23/65d896bdca47411a698b45b4.html |

@zasad@. I very much disagree that CZ and Binance can easily be declared as terrorists and can also easily be proven in court. That is a very head shaking argument.
In any case, if it was easy and if sentenced in court as terrorists, this would certainly create a very dangerous precedent on who else will easily be proven as terrorists in court. Everyone can and will easily a terrorist including car companies, mobile phone companies, banks and many other companies' products and service that were used by terrorists and drug cartels would be under investigation.

Not sure if this is true or not,  https://twitter.com/boxing_william/status/1758908335083192470But based on that statement, it seems that they are forcing Canelo to fight Benavidez next and so they are negotiating behind. Again, there's a lot of rumors that it will be Charlo next for Canelo in May. Let's see how this so could negotiation goes though, if this is real then good for us. But it might have been contradict what Canelo said recently that he doesn't want to fight another Mexican. All we can do right now is wait until we finally hear official statement from Canelo. I think this is true Mauricio Sulaimán is eager to see this fight but Canelo Alvarez is furious upon hearing this, as he wants to fight Jermell Charlo in his next fight but instead Sulaiman wants a mandatory fight between Canelo Alvarez VS David Benavidez, and Sulaiman then added that Canelo VS Benevidez is a more logical fight to see than with a Charlo fight. it should be rematched but instead because of WBO's Mauricio Sulaiman, Canelo Alvarez will fight Benavidez. Mauricio Sulaiman is from the WBC. In any case, it appears that Sulaiman is listening to the fans and he wants to give us what we have always wished to witness for Canelo's next opponent. I have also seen a locked thread about the PBC offering Canelo $55 million if he signs the deal. This will certainly show that Canelo is avoiding king David Benavidez if he rejects this hehehehe. On Caenlo fans who want to defend him for this. This is boxing where the best fighters should fight each other. This should not be something similar to the Miss Universe. |

I think People can easily use the P2P platform available on Binance and other centralized exchanges. Why do they need other sites like localbitcoins etc for this purpose?
Also, I think that these sites have been losing business ever since the biggest exchange Binance has launched their P2P platform and that is very secure too.
Not everyone can legally access Binance and not all are fan of centralized exchanges that asks KYC. Besides localbitcoins are famous p2p platform on its prime years not until it asked KYC requirements which started its dooms day. Similar to any online money processor, it would be quite naive to expect that it will stay no KYC forever. Does everyone expect the government would allow criminals to send and receive money freely without imposing anti money laundering laws? This would certainly be head shaking if they left Localbitcoins alone hehehee. This is not the fault of anything or anyone. This is reality. |

He can win for best director or best picture, however, not the both of these categories heheheh. This year might be another unpredictable like CODA and Green Book.
Oscar for Best Picture goes to produces of the movie, not to director. But I do agree that its a pretty common thing for a movie not to win both Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. For example, in the last 20 years, 8 movies won both of those awards so there are solid chances that Nolan doesn't win his Oscar this year. Yes but Christopher Nolan is also one of the producers of Oppenheimer. However, this is my big prediction for the 2025 Oscar awards for best picture and the best director categories. It will be one of the movies that will win both categories. The title of this move you know already heehhe. It is Dune 2 for best picture and Denis Villenueve for best director. This Frenchman created some of my favorite movies with the best cinematography. Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune 1. Everyone should certainly watch them. He also directed good mystery and crime thrillers. |

@zasad@. I might agree that Tether can be taken down similar to the occurrence on how BUSD was taken down, however, I cannot agree on Circle. Circle is licensed in America and their headquarters are in Boston, Massachusetts. They are also backed by influencial institutional investors that would make Circle's success a certainty. They will lobby, bribe, do anything that they are capable to become the government's first choice stablecoin provider.
Also, the use of USDC does not make Circle a terrorist organization. Why do you argue about this? If a bank robber used a certain car to rob a bank, does this make the car company responsible for the bank robber?

I'm going to watch the UFL or whatever they are calling themselves, but it's just nowhere close to being as exciting as the NFL. Lot's of bad coaching mixed with mediocre players makes for a bad watch IMO. Am I wrong? Did anyone wake up on a Saturday and think to themselves "I have to be home for the xfl game tonight" anytime last season?
I was also confused, however, it appears that the XFL and the USFL has merged and they are calling their new league the UFL which will begin on March 30. Learning about these small leagues might be good to win some money, I reckon hehe. There are NBA bettors who have said that it was easier to win money betting on WNBA. The XFL and the United States Football League (USFL) will relaunch as the United Football League (UFL) following the merger between the two spring football leagues.
The eight-team competition will kick off its ten-game regular season on 30th March 2024 and be divided into two conferences: USFL and XFL.
The USFL Conference will feature the Birmingham Stallions, Houston Roughnecks, Memphis Showboats, and Michigan Panthers. The XFL Conference will consist of the Arlington Renegades, DC Defenders, San Antonio Brahmas, and St Louis Battlehawks.
Houston was the one overlapping market between the XFL and the USFL and deemed one of the strongest markets for both leagues. As a result, the USFL’s Houston Gamblers have been rebranded as the Houston Roughnecks.
The opening game of the 2024 campaign will see the Stallions face the Renegades, 2023 champions of the USFL and the XFL respectively. Players will report to training camp on 24th February in Arlington, Texas, where the XFL trained last season.Source https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/xfl-usfl-merger-ufl-united-football-league-teams-2024-season/ |

@dansus021. How long have you been in Duelbit's campaign? Betting on movie, music and tv awards has always been there in the betting specials category.
@OgNasty. It is in the politics and entertainment category in stake.com for a long time also. This is also very common for sportsbooks.
I have been creating the thread for the Oscar awards for 5 years, I reckon.
There was also Game of Thrones season and episode outcomes betting in this subforum. It was a very popular thread hehe.

Tightening regulations is good for protecting new investors, as in the coming months there may be a high demand for cryptocurrencies and a higher possibility of fraud, but tightening them to a very high degree may hinder the development of technology, so it is a double-edged sword. I hope that the government’s goal is to protect investors from the consequences of scammers or these fake volumes exchanges which may steal their investments.
Agreed if the regulations the government creates is truly for the protection of consumers. However, I would argue that the government does not care about the small minnows in the pond. I reckon much of these regulations are created on the direction of the rulers of the country who have funded political campaigns and who have placed the people they control on certain government positions. Also, maybe in the beginning they will make it appear that they were created to protect the consumers. However, through lobby and bribes they always add new rules and new wordings that would give them more advantage and make the environment less fair for us. |

@zasad@. It would certainly be head scratching to call Tether terrorists because they are not terrorists. If the terrorists use American dollars, are the issuers of the dollar terrorists? If the terrorists used a certain brand of cell phone to activate their bombs, is the cell phone company a terrorist?
In any case, what are you implying on Tether's capitalization and being called a terrorist? Is the when the American government waits for a company to reach a certain size before the takedown hehehehe.

I reckon when someone begins to hold much bitcoins where someone starts to win or lose more than an amount of his monthly expenses in every 10% pump or a 10% dump, this might cause someone the question if this is reality or if we are in the matrix hehehehee. On every pump, it will make the holder dream of retiring early. However, on every dump it will make him thankful on having a real job hehe. |

It would not be very head scratching anymore if the next of these stringent rules would be on the normal investors of the cryptospace where their regulators will begin to allow only individuals belonging to a higher income category.
They will declare that this is for the protection of the consumers, however, what they might be doing is they do not want normal people to have the peer to peer charcteristics that these cryptocoins are giving us. They want us to continue using their currency and their middlemen.

This strengthens his chance to win the Oscar award for best director and this also might strengthen my speculation that the best picture might not be given to Nolan by the voters hehehe. I don't understand why would that lower the chances for Oppenheimer to win Best Picture Oscar. Care to elaborate? I am only speculating that because we have witnessed that there were some years where the best picture winner for the Bafta and the Oscar awards were different then this might be one of those years. Also, because Oppenheimer is for certain win best actor and best director and other awards, I speculate that the voters might have something different for Christopher Nolan. He can win for best director or best picture, however, not the both of these categories heheheh. This year might be another unpredictable like CODA and Green Book. |

The fud against Tether is very head shaking and it appears it is becoming very clear who might be responsible and where this is coming from. I speculate that this is coming from the American government and with the help of Tether's biggest competitor Circle hehehe. It would not be shocking if the new mayor of bitcoin is helping also. Caroline Hill of Circle have made their position very clear when she begged the lawmakers in congress to give the treasury department the authority to crackdown on Tether.  Mayor of BitcoinIn a February 15 Congressional hearing, Caroline Hill, Senior Director for Global Policy and Regulatory Strategy at Circle, has called on Congress to grant the Treasury Department the authority to go after Tether and its banking partner Cantor Fitzgerald. Hill said that the US Treasury Department should have the authority to take action given “Tether’s reputation” as well as available data that “they are contributing to terrorist financing and other malign activities.”Read in full https://www.blockzeit.com/circles-caroline-hill-asks-congress-to-go-after-tether/ |

If Coinbase holds majority of ETF and bank bitcoin do you think this gonna be to centralized? To be honest I like when bitcoin Etf got approved but when all just use coinbase it will be too centralized in my opinion and when something bad happen the domino effect would likely to happen.
and of course everyone want the slice of bitcoin pie hahaha
It will certainly be centralized and this is the risk of a cryptocoin with limited supply. There is also the risk of Coinbase being hacked. It presently appears that more people in the community are beginning to have questions and also are being skeptical on bitcoin's monetary policy hehehe. The developers of Grin wrote an argument against bitcoin's monetary policy. Everyone should read this. https://docs.grin.mw/wiki/extra-documents/monetary-policy/ |

Why I dont see discussiin about UFC 300 main event fight? I remember someone here asked for predictions, but I have told that I dont want to do that because I dont want to get disappointed, because we wont get what we want. Now its Pereira vs Hill. Honestly, I am disappointed. I have expected something that wall drop my jaw and I would be speachless. Now it is just a good fight. But honestly not a fight of a round/anniversary level.
I heard there are contenders in UFC 298 who will be fighting on 300. I think it was Rogan who said this a week ago and then some changes will happen after the 298. Tuporia challenged Conor in his interview and we people are still drawn to what Conor can do in the octagon so once Conor is announced I think this will still make a load of cash for UFC PPV and Dana. Pereira vs Adesanya would have been more jaw-dropping. What fans can expect more I guess its the golden canvas on UFC 300 and probably the Bitcoin logo on it. However, the UFC's partner is Vechain. The Chinese blockchain that partnered with McDonalds hehehee. Does everyone remember this joke on 2017? It was only fud, however, everyone believed this when it was shared in social media by an influencer. The price dumped very quickly and this fell more than -20% and this was immediately pumped back heheeh.  |

Very much to what has been speculated before by some people in the cryptospace, stablecoin issuers like Circle and Tether will become the governments shepherds to control how much inflows of fiat will he allowed in the cryptospace. This is the beginning. On the government's mission to crackdown on DeFi, this should certainly be encouraged to cause the developers to create stronger infrastructure that would be more difficult to shut down hehehee. This is also only the beginning. DeFi will win. Crypto critics often warn of digital currencies' potential to destabilize the U.S. dollar, but Federal Reserve Gov. Christopher Waller argued that stablecoins' dependence on the dollar could actually strengthen the U.S. fiat currency as decentralized finance (DeFi) catches on.Read in full https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2024/02/15/us-federal-reserve-gov-waller-says-defi-could-boost-dollars-global-strength/ |
