I know some of us like all kinds of alts... but I am more of a Maxi. I think Bitcoin is really just about the only thing that matters. With "just about" being super key there...
I tend to agree. That’s why it hurts thinking how much I’ve lost in BTC and how much more I would’ve made in USD if I just stayed put and held everything in BTC or ETH even. Damn... I mean DOGE would’ve been a better trade than XMR during the bull market. Lol. It’s funny cos I really thought 2020 and beyond would be XMR’s time in the sun and be a permanent fixture at top 5 in CMC. But no, it’s at 47. But anyway, from a pure trading perspective, watch out for ETH. If it doesn’t implode after the hard fork to POS, easy trend up to 10k imho. Talks going around that it’s def happening this year. |

I feel like there’s a coordinated attempt at baiting and stop running short sellers right now in order to trigger their stop losses, thereby taking the market higher. We’ve already seen one succesful attempt o couple of days ago and a couple of unsuccessful ones just today. But I don’t think it’ll stop anytime soon. We could even see BTC go over 45k this week. *crosses fingers*
What do you guys think?
Edit: I’m hopeful it goes up and beyond but then again I’m open to both scenarios.

^ Don’t worry about it. It’s the thought process on why you made the pick that counts and what everybody should really learn from. The wins will come eventually, granting you have developed a good thought process in making the analysis and approaching the betting market. And it’s always good to share ideas and learn from other ideas... Makes you grow. Just noticed 271’s Countdown just dropped. Enjoy! UFC 271: Countdownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPoD2WhPS0M |

RESULT: Burnley 0-0 WatfordThe game ended 0-0 which means Watford on equal number of points as Newcastle United with both of them remaining in the relegation zone. Burnley are still bottom of the table but have two games in hand and can clear the relegation zone by winning just one game. It is very close at the foot of the table.  Yup but those games that have yet to be played by Burnley are vs Aston Villa, Everton and Leicester. It’s really doubtful if Burnley could win at least one out of those three... There’s Everton but Lampard will prolly have revived the squad by the time the fixture is played. The best result Sean Syche could get it to end those fixtures in a draw and get three points.  But yeah.. It’s pretty good to see Burnley stick to their manager. It’s pretty rare in football, esp these days. |

What other teams built the second type of car? Just Aston Martin? If they’re the only team that has done it, I wonder why take that gamble. Slower at straights but better and slightly faster at corners? They surely have the driver who has the style for it in Sebastian Vettel imho.
Anyway, we can’t read Italian, did that write up say the second type of car is surely slower and ‘wrong’ or is it all just guess work of journalists? Cos we’ve also had our experiences with football journos and they’re mostly bs most of the time.
Nothing has been confirmed yet but the rumors are: 2 cars using the second type and one should be Aston Martin. 2 cars are using a new thing and we can have a "Brawn GP" case with a huge advantage if it works Mercedes may use a walrus f1 nose similar to the idea of old Williams. Like this one.  Source: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/features/2016/2/surprises-from-car-launches-unveilings.htmlBy ‘Brawn GP case’, you mean a loop hole found by a small team? So meaning when you said ‘wrong type of car’ by Aston Martin, you were saying they found something to exploit within the bounds of the rules even if it’s somewhat illegal...? Yeah, no one can discount it from happening since every team is designing and engineering their cars from scratch. Makes me even more excited about the coming season if that’s the case. |

^ Good job! I should be getting some tips from you.  Please share them as soon as you make them. Anyway here are the results of the event... https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/83125-ufc-fight-nightFor a low tier Fight Night event, it was really good! Most of the matches ended inside the distance and the Erosa vs Peterson one was a banger. Pretty surprised Erosa’s chin held. Anybody thinks Strickland gets the shot at the title next? I mean I think he deserves it but the way he fights seems too ‘generic’ if that makes any sense. He’ll just get tee’d off by Adesanya. |

^ No rumors. It’s just most alts are following what BTC is doing atm... Everybody seems to be getting bullish. I won’t lie, I’m getting a bit bullish too. But gotta hold back, it could just be a dead cat bounce. I’ll wait for BTC to break out of 45k, make a correction around that level and if it holds and goes up from there, then I’ll be bullish. For now I’m just looking.

^ Yup and Alvey is now at 4.30. It’s funny cos I don’t think Allen really looked all that good during the weigh ins. The match is also gonna be at 205, a weight class higher than what Allen is used to. Alvey has fought in both 185 and 205. Allen also just got KO’d by Chris Curtis a couple of months back. So all in all I like the line on Alvey. It would’ve been nice if Stake had the KO prop for the match. It’s at 7.00 - 7.55 according to Best Fight Odds. https://www.bestfightodds.com/#Here are the weigh ins and face off vids. Enjoy.

Before voting I had a feeling most would be bearish. And when people are bearish and the chart looks very bad, usually the opposite will happen.
I really want to open a short here however with the massive bearish sentiment, negative funding rate, calls on CNBC for $10K Bitcoin, I am pretty sure $33K was the low and it’ll go up from here.
33k held but the real question is if the bounce from 33k the start of the trend up that would bring BTC up and break out to a new all time high or is it just a dead cat bounce that would take BTC to around 45k or 50k then go back to another draw down after that? It’s a really hard question to answer. And I really appreciate all the guys who chimed in and shared their thoughts. But looking at the market now, I think we’ll be having a bit more bullish sentiment back. It’s looking strong tbh. |

I have a friend who’s a huge Fedor fan and he thinks Fedor is the best HW MMA fighter ever. I tend to agree but how do we really know if he hadn’t fought the guys in the UFC? Like Cain, JDS and whoever was at the top during their prime.
Fedor is a legend from another time with 40 pro wins in his MMA carrier, he was there fighting and kicking before UFC ever existed, it was Pride from Japan, and he still have one last farewell fight  I would agree that he is the best MMA heavyweight fighter in the world in his time, but this sport is changing all the time. You know what happened with ex-UFC champion Demetrious Johnson when he moved from UFC to One Championship MMA? He lost from Adriano Moraes who was never in UFC, and I can find more examples like that. Yeah I know. The guy I’m really interested in to see fight in the UFC is AJ McKee. I think that guy is legit and could bang vs all the top 145’ers in the UFC. I think Dana White should do some sort of trade like he did for Askren. And do it asap! Unlike with Askren, the UFC did it way too late and got the bum version. Would’ve been nice to see Askren in his prime and fight in the UFC. Poor guy... Now he’s at the wrong end of the highlight reel. Lol. |

I don't think Whittaker can the "game of chess" too extremely, because he'll just be picked apart from a far. He needs to close the distance strategically, without actually getting clipped, which is easier said than done. However, if he can get close, and I imagine his threat of kicks will aid him into making Adensanya bite, he will have a outside chance of winning.
I'll be rooting for Izzy, however Whittaker is probably the only realistic option we have that's capable of beating Izzy when they're both having a good day. The chances are slim I'll admit, but the division likely becomes very stale without Whittaker at least threatening Izzy.
I'm hoping we get a few rounds before a finish, and see a real back, and forth fight which tests both fighters. I'm not sure what's left to do if Izzy wins again.
I love them both but leaning Adesanya. I haven’t actually checked the lines tbh and I’m guessing Adesanya is prolly around 1.50 or something. I’m feeling this rematch could be closer and should be lined closer. I’d take a small stab at Whitaker if it goes close to 3.00 just for line value. Edit: Took a peek. Whitaker at 3.25 at Stake! I’m taking that!
The next two main events are going to be great. With Adesanya vs Whitaker, I don’t think we’ll be seeing the same type of match when Whitaker tried to make Gastelum’s style as some sort of blue print in beating Adesanya. It think it’s going to be somewhat of a chess match. We’ve seen both Adesanya do it before vs Yoel Romero and Whitaker vs Darren Till. It could get boring for some people but dunno... I think it’s going to be a tense 5 rounder for me.
For the event after 271, I just hope Fiziev worked on his gast tank. We’ve seen him kinda slow down at R3. Dos Anjos is no joke.
And thinking back about it, I think I’m going to be leaning on Strickland. Not betting on it tho. But Strickland isn’t somebody new in the UFC. He has been with the UFC since 2014 and he’s 15 - 0 at 185.
I am not betting aswell, but my pick is Strickland, and he can not belittle his opponent, after all, Jack Hermansson is a beast on the ground. Yup and there’s not much spots this weekend. I like Phil Rowe at 1.75... That’s about it. Maybe I’ll take a shot at Harris at 2.85 and if I win that, take a shot at Maximov at 2.55. Btw, Phil Hawes pulled out and Brendan Allen is in on 4 days short notice. Sam Alvey at 4.10 could be a fun gamble. |

^ Yeah Mercedes to be the favorite to win both championships is really expected. But Ferrari having the car to go for second, not too sure with RBR def having the chance to compete for first. I mean if it’s either Mercedes or Red Bull that go win the whole thing it means Ferrari just goes for third at best. But the gap between who ever’s third and Merc - RBR could be way smaller because of the new specs. So we’ll see... I’m hoping for an interesting and surprising season... With a twist. But that’s too much to ask. Lol.
Honestly, considering the fact that it was closer between RBR and Mercedes this year, and considering there will be new cars coming up next season if something unexpected happens, then this is the season for it. We still do not know what will happen, maybe Mercedes will still dominate because they have the engine for it and the engine is a major part of the deal, we all remember how Hamilton did when he had a small change in his engine, dude went from 20th to 1st in a weekend thanks to it. So I do not know if I would expect Mercedes to be worse. But with the new cars, we could expect others to get better and that could make things more interesting. Maybe... We’ll see. All cars are starting their designs from scratch. Gone are the days when some teams were using designs from the bigger teams of seasons prior. Like Aston Martin’s 2021 car was a clone of Mercedes’ car of 2020 or was it 2019. But you get the point. This coming season everything is from scratch. So if anything I think Red Bull could have the advantage. They got the best car designer and engineer in Adrian Newey.
Meanwhile, Aston Martin is rumored to have a different style of his car and probably they did a wrong car.
I fear it could be Vettel’s last season at Aston Martin. There are rumors swirling around that there would be up to 11 seats available after this season. So Vettel could prolly take one of those seats. Crossing my fingers for Williams. I think they’re on the up with the new specs. |

^ But keep in mind Inter has a tough set of fixtures going into their UCL match vs Liverpool. Inter is going against AC Milan for a derby, a cup game vs Roma then another tough league game vs Napoli away. And Inter can’t lose any points in both of these league games as there’s just a 4 point gap between them and Napoli and AC.
Liverpool on the other hand, league fixtures not too tough, cup game not too tough. I’m not sure about injuries but they have good back up on the bench. It is going to be in Milan tho but as far as advantages go, I’d lean LFC.

Can Frank Lampard help revive the failing career of Dele Alli? He was a Tottenham and England regular, playing excellent football but then something went wrong and his form dipped only to never recover. What do you think actually went wrong with Alli? If I recall correctly his career went downhill around the same time his girlfriend dumped him in February last year because he was playing video games (mostly Fortnite) whenever he had free time instead of sharing quality time with her. In October last year it was reported Alli was dating Maria Guardiola (the daughter of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola) and now if he is happy with life maybe he will start focusing on football again and might maybe get back to being a world class player.  In other news, Mason Greenwood has been released by police on bail pending further investigations regarding sexual assault, rape, assault and threats to kill his ex-girlfriend. He will not be allowed to return to Manchester United for training. Most of his teammates have unfollowed him on social media. Alli, maybe. I’m pretty sure Mourinho had something to do with his dip in confidence too when he had his stint as Tottenham manager. He did it with a bunch of players. One of the most high profile ones is KDB. Mou caused KDB so much pain that he left for Germany, played for a couple of clubs there, did well and was acquired by City and he’s now Pep’s top guy. Pogba could be another guy’s head that Mou he messed up. As for Greenwood, dunno... Could he be done at United? I mean team mates unfollowing him? But why? Unless the club told them to. I don’t think Mourinho impacted Alli because his form had already started to dip, and yes Mourinho didn’t try his best to revive his career but I don’t think Alli can entirely blame Mourinho, and I personally believe that it’s was his lack of confidence and poor attitude that’s let him down but let’s hope that things change for him at Everton. Lastly I hate what’s happened to the girl, but before I blast Greenwood I need to be 100% sure he’s guilty, and call me old school but I believe he’ll be guilty when the court announces it, and I don’t believe the media or social media court verdict. Yeah you’re right, Alli did already have a dip in form. But just saying... Mou also tends to dislike some personality types like KDB’s, who a lot of people have already seen that he had huge potential at Chelsea. And I honestly didn’t look into what’s up with Greenwood until I read your reply. I mean wow.. if he’s proven guilty of rape in court. No bueno. He’s def done for being a United player or possibly also done in football. What a waste.
people are probably unfollowing you because they are seeing the repercussion of this case and they don't want to be associated with it. something normal in the society we have today, that means that people are judging and condemning him even before the case ends up in court. my question is:
how is his situation in manchester united?
ROFL! Plot twist: They were with Greenwood during the incident. |

^ It would’ve been nice to see him go fight all the best UFC fighters during his prime just to see who’s the best. I guess he fought some would be somewhat great UFC fighters at the time at Strike Force. Fedor lost to Werdum, Big Foot Silva and Dan Henderson. I guess it would be safe to say prime Cain Velasquez and prime JDS would’ve gotten some W’s vs him too?
It will be cool to see unification fghts from different promotions like UFC, BELLATOR, EAGLE and the BARE Knuckles to see whos best of the best. Meaning Ngannou is not yet done, he has to fight the rest like Kongo or Moldavsky. When it happens, by then there will be transparency to how the negotiation of money with Dana and to the fighters in Bellator.
Lol. No question Ngannou would def murk both of those guys. And anybody matched up with him should prolly ask for more money for the beating they’ll be getting. |

I just want to share, after this UFC Fight Night Hermansson VS Strickland I was really shaking in excitement after seeing the next big fights in UFC, we got to see in
UFC 271
Israel Adesanya VS Robert Whittaker - I am for Israel Adesanya here from their last fight Adesanya won via KO punches, history may repeat itself but as Robert Whittaker is very confident in taking Adesanya again I think this could end in a decision with Israel Adesanya winning it,
Derrick Lewis VS Tai Tuivasa - after his loss to Ciryl Gane and a win against Chris Daukaus he will be pit against Tai Tuivasa I know Tuivasa is an underdog but men he is proven his worth but I really think that Derrick Lewis has more power than him so I would stick to the black beast.
Jared Cannonier VS Derek Brunson - This match is a great one to see I really think it could be a close match but I have high hopes for Jared Cannonier, even though Derek Brunson has a high experience, with the game.
UFC Fight Night Dos Anjos VS Fiziev
Rafael Dos Anjos VS Rafael Fiziev - I could be wrong here so I don't have any pick yet, but I like Rafael Dos Anjos, but Fiziev is a new great thing that needs to look out to,
Johnny Walker VS Jamahal Hill - I don't have the knowledge yet about Jamahal Hill but Johnny Walker is a great fighter to look out for, but just like the main event for this event I don't have a pick yet,
Chas Skelly VS Mark Striegl - This I think is based on my support, on my fellow countrymen, he doesn't have a great start on the UFC and he better watch out to Chas Skelly's ground game, more likely Skelly had a high percentage in winning this but I still got hope for my fellow Filipino Mark Striegl.
All picks are not final and I am posting this for my excitement to subside just a little because I really need to take this all out, as I have said all picks are not final and still doing a little research and pick may still change except for the Adesanya VS Whittaker fight.
The next two main events are going to be great. With Adesanya vs Whitaker, I don’t think we’ll be seeing the same type of match when Whitaker tried to make Gastelum’s style as some sort of blue print in beating Adesanya. It think it’s going to be somewhat of a chess match. We’ve seen both Adesanya do it before vs Yoel Romero and Whitaker vs Darren Till. It could get boring for some people but dunno...

And thinking back about it, I think I’m going to be leaning on Strickland. Not betting on it tho. But Strickland isn’t somebody new in the UFC. He has been with the UFC since 2014 and he’s 15 - 0 at 185. |

^ Rofl seriously? How could you use boxing vs two washed MMA fighters, Askren and Woodley, as a metric? But if we really want to use that as a metric then let’s get two old washed up MMA fighters from Bellator to fight Jake Paul in a boxing match too then. And Cris Cyborg got starched by Nunes btw. A top #10 fighter in the UFC like Corey Anderson can move to bellator and demolish everyone. As we have seen.
Are you saying that UFC fighters are better than Bellator? It is not always like that. For example former Bellator fighters like Alexander Volkov or Eddie Alvarez performed well among other fighters. Volkov is top5 in heavyweights, Alvarez was a lightweight champion. I could mention Michael Chandler, but he is not doing well in UFC (however he is top5 lightweight). I would not say that UFC fighters would demolish Bellator fighters, I would rather say that top Bellator fighters are like average UFC fighter. Not a punching bag, and not a future champion. Not always but mostly yes. And it’s true. I have a friend who’s a huge Fedor fan and he thinks Fedor is the best HW MMA fighter ever. I tend to agree but how do we really know if he hadn’t fought the guys in the UFC? Like Cain, JDS and whoever was at the top during their prime. |
