It appears that I have to begin to accept that Tether will not be taken down hehehe. Tether is being used to collect money to fund a revolution and restore democracy. Might this also be the beginning to hyperdollarize the country of Myanmar if the revolutionaries are successful? No one would have predicted that Tether would find a use case like this.



Political and financial scenarios in regions across the globe have inspired populations to find more stable and secure currencies to hold, leading many to Tether. Pegged to the US dollar, Tether represents a safe and assured way to hold USD on the blockchain while also offering a reliable option for economies combatting inflation, anti-privacy laws, and more.

The National Unity Government of the Republic (NUG) is led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, who has received commendations from the US. The party has also been acknowledged by the European Union. The fact that it has chosen to recognize USDT as an official currency is a commendation to the strength of the US dollar and its ability to provide a safe haven to citizens of the world. The significance of this moment goes far beyond the potentials of cryptocurrency to provide financial security but points to long-standing confidence in the US dollar for those who do not have confidence in their own governments or national currencies.

@stompix. I understand what you are telling me. However, is there really a difference between saying bitcoin could become worthless and cryptocurrencies could become worthless? I reckon if the person from the Bank of England is telling everyone that cryptocurrencies as a whole could become worthless then he is wrong. Similar to what you have said, the money pit was replaced by another money pit.

@buwaytress. Are you implying the comedy stock to flow cycle? I have a conspiracy theory on that hehehe. What if stock to flow was created only to give the community something to believe in. It might be really nothing but a part of iFinex, Bitfinex, Tether’s print and pump operation. I cannot prove this, however, stock to flow is something to be skeptical about.

Before the exhibition match of Paul Logan VS Tyron Woodley we will be having a match tomorrow and a match on December 17 this Friday,

Naoya Inoue VS Dipaen Aran

Dec. 14, 2021,
Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan

After that success and I could say close match with Nonito Donaire, and a dominating fight against Jason Maloney and Michael Dasmariñas defending his Super IBF Naoya Inoue will now face Dipaen Aran, pretty much I don't really know Dipaen Aran, so this could be an easy match for the monster, odds at stake is 1.01 for Naoya Inoue and 9.20 for Dipaen Aran, pretty sure this is a very high risk if you want to bet for Aran but for me, Naoya Inoue will surely win this,

Marcus Browne VS Artur Beterbiev

Dec. 17, 2021,
Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

I guess this fight will not go the distance it surely will be a possible knockout win both fighters are knockout punchers so whether who may land the finishing punch the other will sure say good night to his opponent, me Artur Beterbiev will be a more technical fighter here, and Markus Browne surely wants to brawl, that is why he lost to Jean Pascal, but if he would predict Beterbiev attack and could land a punch it is over that fast and that is how these two fighters strength is, odds at stake was 1.07 for Beterbiev Artur and 6.20, Markus Browne, I'd said I like how Artur Beterbiev will approach this fight I think he may apporch this fight with calmness and have a collected mind to make his decisions against Browne.

I have not watched Marcus Browne versus Artur Beterbiev, however, I am reading in social media that he fought very good. There are also some people who commented that Canelo challenge Beterbiev instead of the other light heavyweight fighter that Canelo’s team has planned to challenge who appear to be not very good.

Also, Jake Paul is also planning to fight in MMA hehehe. He said he will be training with Khabib and head coach of American Kickboxing Academy. This might end in a comedy or a tragedy hehe.



Love him or hate him, it is hard to deny the impact that the younger Paul brother has had on the world of combat sports, particularly in boxing. Although, by taking on and beating former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and relentlessly attacking UFC President Dana White, he has also had his hands into the world of MMA, at least to some degree. This has led some to wonder if we might see Jake Paul switch from the ring to the cage at some point down the line.

Speaking at the press conference for his upcoming rematch with Woodley, Paul explained that he not only plans on competing in MMA, but he’ll be getting leadership from American Kickboxing Academy head coach Javier Mendez as well as former UFC lightweight champ turned budding trainer, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“I’m gonna go get coached up by [Javier] Mendez, Team Khabib,” Paul said (h/t LowKickMMA). “That’s that. They’re down — 100 percent. I don’t see why if I can do boxing at this high of a level that I couldn’t do MMA at this high of a level.”

“I’ve gotta go 10-0, 12-0 in boxing first, and then I’ll hit that MMA fight.”

This is a very sorrowful moment for those people who closely follow women’s mixed martial arts for the sexy fighting kittens show. Claudia Gadelha has announced her retirement. I am quite certain many men in the world will be very sad and they will miss her hehehe. Who will be our next sexy fighting kitten champion?



Former UFC title challenger Claudia Gadelha has reportedly indicated her intention to retire from MMA.

Gadelha recently notified the UFC of her plan to stop competing in the sport, per a report from Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting. The recent story explained that Gadelha is no longer on the UFC roster after informing the promotion that she doesn’t plan to continue fighting.

What Charlie Munger was trying to say is:
"I wish that Bitcoin/crypto was never invented,so that all the those dumb crypto investors/traders could pump the price of our stocks and buy our stocks at 10x price,so we could make even more money."
That's what he wanted to say,but he would never say it in front of the public. Grin

Crypto development is contrary to the interest of civilization?
Does Charlie Munger know what are the interests of the human civilization?
This guy is starting to get a little bit fanatical.He might lose his mind.



Agreed! The investors and traders in Wall Street might have noticed that they are losing their retail customers to dump on hehe. They are only trading against their peers, their fellow investors and traders. I predict we might witness more of this during the next bull market, where stocks will be stable and profits low and the cryptospace will continue 10x - 100x profits in a short amount of time.
3167  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-12-15] Analysts expect Bitcoin trend change after Fed lays out its roadmap on: December 18, 2021, 01:09:01 AM
I speculate if the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes causes the American economy to begin going into a depression similar to 2008, I reckon we might witness bitcoin dump below the previous all time high for the first time. I am not certain of this, however, bitcoin has never pumped as strongly as the bull markets of 2013 and 2017.

It also appears that it is not only America is planning rate hikes. The United Kingdom were the first to hike their rates from 0.1% to 0.25%.
3168  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-12-14] Guardian: Bitcoin could become ‘worthless’, Bank of England warns on: December 18, 2021, 12:16:42 AM
@stompix. Cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, those people create a similar argument and they want a similar storyline.

The thing is that he didn't say Bitcoin he said cryptocurrencies as a whole.
And at this point my opinion is perfectly clear, 90% of them will turn useless in a few years, and 90% if not more of the poeple investing in them will end up with a loss, call me a bank lackey, a Soros ass kisser or whatever this is my opinion and it will not change.

The problem I see with the article is that they made a headline with Bitcoin in it when there was no discussion specifically aimed at Bitcoin and here I think that the so-called journalist just wanted more clicks.
If the article would have said Tokens or NFT or whatever I doubt anybody here would have given a f about it.

I predict the government will use this storyline against Defi for 2022.

As I was saying above, why do you think they will ever mention Defi? A lot of so-called "Defi" projects have switched already to "metaverse", NFT, trading NFT, they forgot what they were supposed to disrupt, the DeFi hype has died down, it's time for the next one.




Agreed, 90% of those cryptocoin projects will turn useless, however, have you noticed that there is always something new that replaced those that turned useless? Go to archive.com and see the top 100 in coinmarketcap.com on 2013 and compare to top 100 on 2021.

Also, Defi as an attachment of the cryptospace will never go away. My theory is any invention that will be useful for moneylaundering, tax evasion and regulatory avoidance to help criminal billionaires will never die.
3169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 16, 2021, 05:06:03 AM
It appears that uncle Dana might not wait for the return of Amanda Nunes. A new storyline is developing between Juliana Peña and Kayla Harrison hehe. I would not be shocked if Juliana’s first opponent after being champion is Kayla Harrison. However, can she make the weight on bantamweight? Kayla is a very big woman. I reckon she might be bigger than Conor hehehehe.



Harrison’s theory could well be put to the test in 2022. After Dana White confirmed the former champ has the option for a rematch on the table if she wants it, both Nunes and the newly-crowned titleholder suggested it makes sense. However, Peña could be facing more than just a “Lioness” if she continues down her current path.

Following her title crowning, Peña discussed the possibility of facing Harrison. Dismissing the threat of the Ohio native, “The Venezuelan Vixen” branded the PFL champ, who she said has only fought in the “B-leagues” the “lesser of the training partners” at ATT.

In response, Harrison said that if she’s not careful, Peña could be the recipient of a special offer out of the famed Florida-based gym.

3170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT for money laundering? on: December 16, 2021, 04:36:49 AM
actually before i read your post i dont have any suspicious for using NFT for money laundering, but after i read your post, hmmmm... i think its possible, we dont have any standart for NFT images value, its an art and nobody can make a value standard for that images. but we all from here want that it will not happen right? we hope that NFT is the part of cryptocurrencies that should make the good things

Money laundering is not only possible, it might really be happening!

Also, read this article. It appears that our favorite actor from the Matrix has not researched what potentials there are in NFTs. Yes Keanu, you can launder the millions paid to you from your new movie through NFTs and avoid paying taxes.



In a recent interview with The Verge, The Matrix Resurrections stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss were asked their opinion about the NFTs created for the upcoming film, which proved so popular that they temporarily crashed the website on which they were sold.

Reeves, however, couldn’t contain himself - his response was to burst out laughing at the mere mention of NFTs, the very notion of digital scarcity. And it wasn’t just a polite chuckle - the restrained star let out an uncharacteristically loud cackle, after responding:

“They’re easily reproduced.”

AFA  2021 FF MVP there is no comparison, it is hands down Patterson.





LA Rams hit hard. 13 players are on COVID-19 protocols

Quote
That means that the LA Rams training facility has been shut down and the team will conduct all business remotely over the next two days or possibly longer. The NFL/NFLPA have agreed to enact enhanced protocols for situations like this. Right now, the LA Rams are enacting all required protocols.





https://ramblinfan.com/2021/12/14/la-rams-now-face-11-players-covid-19-protocols/

I thought more than 70% of the players in the NFL are vaccinated. I assume the vaccines procured by the NFL are Pfizer and also Moderna? It appears the vaccines are not working as they promised hehehe. They said it will prevent you from getting the virus, however, there are many cases showing that you can get the virus after vaccination. I am very skeptical about the booster shots.

Also, does anyone like movies?

This week biggest upset was Nunes loss, the goat was unable to defend her title against Penya, she was dominated. Uncle Dana will be very upset on his star champion.
Am pretty sure a lot of people lost that bet!
Dustin Poirier was unable to capture what he was looking for, the title that he had long anticipated, I was surprised how easily Olivera was able to hold him down the canvas which might be due to some injuries he had sustained in the previous fights, but this was definately out of the character for him.
As I predicted in my earlier fight Shawn O'Malley dominanted the fight and got other highlight finish.

A monster like Amanda isn't likely going to be ruined easily. Never thought that Nunes will be defeated by Penya who doesn't even have a good Knockout record which I think Nunes didn't really do her best in this fight or it could be planned.

Amanda can bring a lot of fans which I guess If I have to create a conspiracy about it, Dana plans to have a trilogy for the two to make more money and that for the rematch Amanda will win. A cash grab for UFC promotion.

I disagree, it will not be a trilogy, I reckon. It will only be 1 rematch and uncle Dana will organize Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes championship fight in women’s featherweight if Amanda is the winner.

Kayla Harrison might be the next big name in women’s MMA similar to Ronda Rousey. I am aware that Amanda Nunes has a better record, however, Amanda has never reached the height of stardom Ronda has reached.



We are getting closer and closer to finding out where Kayla Harrison (12-0) will be fighting next and it could be the UFC. Harrison attended UFC 269 this past weekend where she watched Amanda Nunes take on Julianna Pena.

While Harrison is teammates with Nunes, the general thought was that Harrison could face Nunes at featherweight should Nunes get past Pena. This would be a superfight for women’s MMA and the UFC was very interested in making it happen.

Harrison was in the front row and even received camera treatment from the promotion. However, a giant wrench was thrown into the plans when Julianna Pena did the unthinkable and submitted Amanda Nunes in the second round of their fight.

3174  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is getting more bearish, what is the trigger? on: December 15, 2021, 02:22:08 AM
At this time it is suitable to buy bitcoin, considering there is a correction that occurs in a few days, but in conditions like this we can take advantage of short-term investment patterns
I am not sure if it is a good time to buy Bitcoin since there is a rumor that Bitcoin possibly drops to $42k. In my personal opinion, if we want to buy Bitcoin, wait till the Bitcoin drop below $45k. Considering the current price is around $48k, better to keep waiting and learn how the possible market trend in the future. Honestly, I stop buying now, I assume it is too risky buying Bitcoin with the current market condition.


Well if that is the case then bitcoin will be very cheap again.

However, I doubt that it will drop to $42k, the support along the $45k is strong, unless there is really a news that will test the market again to the near $40k'ish level. It's going to be scary, but hey if you are here for the long term then it's a great advantage to see the price very cheap and at a discount.

On the contrary, this is December and history a good month for us to rally and see the price going up.

The news printed by bitcoin news media and the mainstream media only come after the pump or the dump. It is never before the pump or dump occurs. Also, much of the news they publish are clickbait or an altered version of the clickbait.

In any case, the dump might only be another funding reset caused by the whales, similar to what occured on September. I speculate bitcoin’s bubble to burst during the super bowl on February 13 hehehehe.

Ascendex was also hacked and an estimated total of $78 million was stolen in Ethereum, BNB and Polygon tokens. It appears that none of these exchanges in the cryptospace has escaped from the problem of being hacked hehe. Binance, Kucoin, OKex, almost every exchange had millions of dollars in coins stolen from them. I reckon the only exchange that has not yet been hacked is FTX.

Everyone is really vulnerable in this crypto space, hackers are everywhere and one step of the game.

It this is totally true, then good for those customers who lost their coins because they are going to be reimburse and Bitmart has also this sort of SAFU.

And it's interesting that they have a deep pocket and obviously they have already a ton of profits from crypto traders since their inception.

I reckon an exchange being hacked is something similar to a baptism or a welcome to the world of the cryptospace hehehe. However, if you observe to tokens issued by the exchange, the negativity of the news will not influence the price of the token after a few months. The tokens still pump as if nothing has happened. Being a hacked exchange has become the new normal hehe.

@DooMAD. Agreed. Bitcoin will never be worthless as long as it can give anyone the abilities and powers that banks cannot give an individual. I am talking about money laundering, evading taxes and other illegal things that will certainly weaken the power and control of the government. The largest institutional investors recognizes this as shown through their speculation and interest.

@suchmoon. Also, depending on the Cardinal’s and especially Kyler Murray’s reaction on the 4th quarter, he might be someone similar to Lamar Jackson. A player who was very good in the regular season, however, someone who cannot take pressure in hard post season games. Murray has 2 interceptions in this game. This cannot be the type of mistakes that should happen in divisional games.

It appears that Tether has found another type of usage in its attempt to hyperdollarize the world without owning the official money printer from the Federal Reserve hehehe. This new usage is to be a medium of exchange to fund revolutions in 3rd world countries.

I speculate that Tether might not be allowed to exist within 3 years to stop it from being adopted by powerful figures who can disrupt the existing state of politics.



Myanmar shadow government declares stablecoin USDT an official currency

Myanmar’s shadow government, the National Unity Government (NUG), led by the supporters of jailed leader Aung San Suu Kyi, has declared United States dollar-based stablecoin Tether (USDT) as an official currency for local use.

Per a report published in Bloomberg, the NUG will accept Tether for its ongoing fundraising campaign seeking to topple the current military regime in Myanmar. The shadow government also raised $9.5 million through the sale of “Spring Revolution Special Treasury Bonds” offered to the Myanmar diaspora across the world. The group aims to raise $1 billion through the sale of NUG-issued bonds.

I tried my best and I thought that Nutildah Jones left the game and would not change his line up hehe. However, I was shocked to see he was still alive and playing. He won by 43 points against the Psychotics. I am out?

There's still a small chance that Taco can win your match.  If that happens he gets the fourth playoff spot with a record of 8 and 6.  If you beat Taco and Nutildah wins, then all three of you contenders will finish 7 and 7 which means it'll come down to tie-breakers, and I think Nutildah has that by a longshot.  

@everyone. Who is your regular season MVP and your rookie of the year?

I don't get sentimental.  If we rank players by who scored the most points for the team, that would have to be Josh Allen.  The numbers suggest he should get the award.
[/belichick_impression]

I am not optimistic on Josh Allen on winning the regular season MVP anymore. He was not as impactful as I speculated in the NFL. I reckon Kyler Murray might be MVP. He might also carry the Cardinals to the Super Bowl.

@South Park. What is the consolidation ladder? Does that have prize money hehehe?

We also have a divisional game with Rams vs. the Cardinals. Cardinals only -3 in their home stadium?
