The biggest highlights for me is Pena beating Nunes, such a shock, something never expected by almost anyone who wagered on that fight especially since she just came back from childbirth, pretty sure a lot of persons lost money betting on that fight. Charles Oliveira is a very talented and crafty fighter as well, congratulations to him.

Amanda Nunes did not give childbirth. It was her wife Nina Ansaroff Nunes who gave birth and lost her fight to Mackenzie Dern. However, Amanda appeared to tap very quickly. I speculate that she has appeared to have lost her hunger to be the best MMA fighter. She is already a husband and a father to a baby girl. She also has made much money to take care of them. I predict she will win the rematch next year and announce her retirement.

I was one of the active posters in this thread until I stopped watching F1 because it has become very boring. However, I watched the race replay in Abu Dhabi after reading a news update that Max Verstappen has won the championship in this last race.

It appears it was Mick Schumacher who was the reason for the safety car. We should be skeptical of this. He does not want the record of his father to be broken hehehehe.

If I win versus Taco Corp and Maddogs lose versus Psychotics, I can go to playoff?

You would have to win by 18 points or more, otherwise Taco owns the total points tiebreaker.

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?

@Heuristic. I thought you played this game every year. You also try your best next time, okay? Be snappy hehehehe.

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

@dkbit98. I only read the news 1 hour ago. It appears the strange activity was noticed by Ascendex 3 days ago and the hack only confirmed yesterday. This is a big negative blow on their reputation. However, they did promise that they will pay their users 100% of what was stolen.



Our approach to the matter is fourfold: First, compensate all users affected 100%. Unimpacted assets have been transferred to our cold wallets as we continue to investigate. The impacted assets are a relatively small percentage of total exchange assets.

But if they do this or not, we cannot be certain hehehe.
3185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 3 Arrows Capital is dumping Ethereum? on: December 12, 2021, 06:36:52 AM
Two weeks after CEO Su Zhu criticized ethereum for high fees 3 Arrows Capital bought 91,477 ETH worth about $400 million on the fall of the market, during this time the company bought about 156,400 ETH.



I have just discovered the news hehe. It appears there are many people who follow him in social media who were not shocked with this news update. Su Zhu has done this scam many times in the past where he will declare something and do the opposite.


It appears that this is a face we cannot trust hehehe.

3186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT for money laundering? on: December 12, 2021, 05:58:04 AM
This picture explains the pricing standards of today’s NFT hehehe.



Price is easily manipulated and very easily dictated because the market is not similar to cryptocoins where buying and selling occurs in real time.

Also, how does everyone know that NFTs are not being used for money laundering? Would money launderers tell you their activities?
This has been speculated as such. I do believe that not every single NFT is like that, cryptopunks for example doesn't need these kind of moves and it is hyped price is already silly without needing anything extra. Not saying that it does worth that much but some people value it that high for some weird reason.

However, it has been told many many times so far that NFT is not only used for money laundering for bad people, who end up buying NFT pieces from "good" people and then get some of it back, effectively laundering their money without a trouble, or there are people who speculate the price with their own money or even a combined money as well.

We could get together as 100 people, put in 100k (1k each) and then create an NFT series and pump it to crazy levels, we could all buy 100k or 50k or whatever on each piece using the very same amount since the money will go back to us anyway, and then give each other 100 of these NFT's as well, when the job is finished we get back the 1k, maybe there would be some costs so even if we get back 500 dollars, then we would also have 50k+ worth NFT in our wallets as well. I say that is a good trade off.

How are you quite so certain that these cryptopunks NFT do not need these kinds of moves? How do we know that it did not begin with whales minting them, then selling them with each other to bid up the price? The NFT market is not a regulated market similar to the ICOs of 2017. Whales and scammers will of course use the most popular type of NFTs to trick newbies. This is an old trick used on a new platform.

I can't believe that Dana White said how most MMA fighters are making more than boxers, and that is simply not true when we know many boxers who earn millions and they don't have any boss above them Smiley
Anyway, tune in now and watch UFC 269 Oliveira vs Poirier Live Weigh-in Show for free on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHuSeTGEc_o

This certainly is not be true on the higher level, however, on the lower level much of the UFC fighters make more money than boxers. How much are the salaries of the fighters in UFC 269’s preliminary card and how much were the salaries of the boxers in Crawford vs. Porter’s preliminary card?

However, I agree that UFC fighters should be paid more. Dana does not want to do this because he is scaling the business. The UFC is not as big as the sport of boxing. I reckon he might begin increasing fighter salary if the UFC begins to have the ratings similar to the NBA or the NFL.

@ChiBitCTy. Are their deaths because of heart failure? It is being speculated that the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer or Moderna are causing enlargement of the heart called myocarditis.

In any case, Najee Harris scores me 22 fantasy points hehe! I did not know the result of the game because I stopped watching before the Steelers began rushing in the 4th quarter and Harris’ touchdown hehe.

If I win versus Taco Corp and Maddogs lose versus Psychotics, I can go to playoff?
3189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT for money laundering? on: December 11, 2021, 02:36:33 AM
In fact, NFT is not used to launder money, but it can be said that NFT is a golden opportunity for those who want to launder money. Reason:
NFT uses blockchain technology. So it increases the difficulty in tracing the identity of the person who wants to launder money.
NFTs dealing with “artistic” topics are overvalued. Because simply, it is "art", but "art" does not have any pricing standards. If you argue, just say "I find it beautiful and valuable!". So it can cost anything, meaning the money launderer can launder as much as he wants.
NFT is inflated in terms of technology value. And in that wave of FOMO, multi-million dollar to tens of million dollar transactions are “normal”. Since then, these "normal" transactions have become "mirrors" in the media. But no longer under the suspicion of the public.
NFT has not yet received adequate attention from regulators. Rather, it is not strictly controlled for tax arrears and identity requirements for high value transactions. So, while regulations are being abandoned, this is a golden opportunity for money launderers.

This picture explains the pricing standards of today’s NFT hehehe.

@BitMaxz. It appears they created a private pump and dump or it might also be a move to save millions of insiders’ money in the expense of other investors. This is very unprofessional of the founders.

However, it appears that the exchange is creating enough revenue for itself for them to receive another round of investment from crypto VCs. It received a series B round of investment of $50 million. This is a big investment for a series B.



AscendEX, a global cryptocurrency financial platform, has announced the close of a $50 million Series B raise led by Polychain Capital and Hack VC, with participation from Jump Capital and Alameda Research, as well as Uncorrelated Ventures, Eterna Capital, Acheron Trading, Nothing Research, and Palm Drive Capital. Imperii Partners served as an exclusive financial advisor to AscendEX in support of the Series B fundraise process.

What type of steroids did Mike Zimmer give this Vikings defense for this game week? Najee Harris’ projected fantasy points, 14.0, but fantasy points created today, only presently 4.8. I am quite certain that Vikings DST is presently scoring 20 points or more for this game hehe.

Good luck to everyone in the playoff. It appears that I will not beat Taco Corp. Najee should be scoring more than the projection to win versus his line up.
3192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: December 10, 2021, 02:53:30 AM
You guys made me laugh  Grin.

Anyways, thanks for the compliment but labeling me as a boxing expert is too much but appreciate it that you have noticed my speculations in boxing as I'm an avid fan of this sweet science since my teens. Lots of users here who are better than me when it comes to boxing speculations, @Baofeng is a legend for me when it comes to this sport.

Back to the topic, the odds for Loma to win by KO is not too tempting especially to us non-high-roller gamblers and Loma is out to prove that he is the top dog of this division so he will try his best to KO Commey if there is an opportunity.

I'm seriously contemplating on betting for Loma to win by decision with that 3.45 odds because Commey's only KO loss came from Teofimo Lopez who is a well-known brawler and a heavy puncher, I think that he has the chance to last the full 12 rounds.

@Baofeng, what's your take on this one bro?

You do not think that Lomachenko might have more motivation to knockout Commey after witnessing the lacklustre performance of Gervonta Davis and the boring performance of Haney? This is his chance to snatch that opportunity from those champions hehehe.

In any case, I will follow the experts for this one.

@Boafeng. Your fans are waiting hehehehe.

He will always go for the knockout if the opportunity presents itself. His power is under rated because we are at awe with this technical prowess.

So with that said, the under 8.5 round is good to bet @1.89. Good to throw some decent amount of money as I don't see this going 12 rounds.

And probably yes Loma will be motivated to show who is the best 135 lbs right now, those champions are boring, Davis specially Haney who don't have the firepower but still a champion because of careful matchup.

I am also speculating that the under 8.5 rounds, however, @Boafeng and @bisdak appear to be predicting that Lomachenko might also win on a decision because Commey’s only defeat on a knockout is versus Teofimo Lopez, who is a heavy puncher. Lomachenko’s knockouts came from when his opponents did not see the punch coming.

I asked a similar question before with FTX and we had a very good reply from @Ramitov hehe. I presently now want to ask everyone to share your experiences and reviews in using Ascendex exchange.

How would you rate the site’s trading engine, the KYC process, deposits and withdrawals, and also the safety and security of our funds held in the exchange?

It's only a few paychecks. It gives a public signal, a pretty important one, but it's really only for the show, not a full commitment. I.e. when something goes wrong, like price falling, the damage is no that big and selling is a very easy option that won't need publicity.

Politicians are very good in larping. They will larp for anything if they speculate that it will give them more votes, give more budget for their political campaigns or if it would make them millions. However, wait for the federal government to begin their campaign against bitcoin and the cryptospace and watch these larpers’ reactions. Will they fight for bitcoin?

3196  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin on sale, will the support continues to hold? on: December 09, 2021, 03:26:35 AM
Agreed. However, sometimes bitcoin is very much manipulated by the whales. They short in the futures market first before they dump the spot market. We have witnessed sustained selling for weeks before this big dump we are witnessing right now. If anyone is not shaking their heads in suspicion on this then they might need to go to a doctor to check their brain.
I am just getting this scenario for the first time. Now that many exchanges are making it also possible to use bitcoin directly to trade USDT M futures, also that Coin M make use of coin directly, like bitcoin as the coin example. The whales can likely just use bitcoin for the trading and short it but later also sell the bitcoin which will result to further price fall. People just need to be careful, a lot of trader's fund had liquidated when bitcoin plunged from $57000 to $40600. The market is mature but there is still manipulations.
Also after manipulating everyone and dumping, they begin buying all the lower priced coins then begin pumping the market again and create fomo hehe. I am shaking my head why there are some people who still think that the dump was caused by weak hands. There are no more weak hands. All of them have no more money hehehehe.
We can't totally blame the whales here, if that's how they make money, so be it. But overall I don't find that 100% this is the reason for some dumps on the market. We already reached a $1 trillion crypto market cap, volume is growing and I believe manipulate is slowly difficult as the volume continue to go up.

Another thing here is the traders who are using leverage too much or don't really know how to use leverage. Because these leverage trades could be a trigger also on short/long squeeze and massive percentage of dump or a pump.

I reckon for a not very mature and very manipulated market similar to these we witness in the cryptospace, big dumps on everyone will occur more than markets from Wall Street. Once the funding rate is on a certain level, someone will begin deleveraging and reset the funding rate. This is the work of the whales usually. However, it appears it is Tether protecting support through Bitfinex.

@Abiky. I agree on the represntation on what cryptocoins should or should not be, however, in blockchains that want to be the backend for decentralized smart contracts and applications, how much decentralization does it really need? Solana is more centralized, however, is it centralized described as a network running from only 1 server? I reckon we should begin to view it deeper more than the storylines are telling us.

@LeGaulois. He has become an important person in his world and has come to believe in his own scam as the one and only truth. It is not very dissimilar in some of the people in the cryptospace where we say another coin is a scam only because we are not holding them. It is hypocrisy everywhere. This is everyone including also me hehehe.

@bisdak. You are the boxing expert hehe. What is your prediction for this fight?

I speculate that Lomachenko might see it as his chance to give the fans and the boxing promoters an unforgettable performance to make an argument as the next challenger of Kambosos. This is also after we witnessed not very good performances from Gervonta Davis and Haney.

Lomachenko odds is very small, also small on the Lomachenko knockout odds. However, total rounds for the right might be under 8.5 rounds with odds 1.89? We have also witnessed Lopez knockout Commey in round 2.
3200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 08, 2021, 02:37:10 AM
It appears some people are speculating that Gervonta Davis is not that good after Cruz hehehe. In reality, Gervonta Davis’ poor performance for the fight versus Cruz was because of an injury of his left hand that might have occurred in round 5.

In any case, Ryan Garcia appears that he wants to fight Gervonta but he also said that team Mayweather never gave him an offer. Ryan Garcia is not very active and oddsmakers might make this near equal, I reckon. Both have the ability to win versus one another.



Never offered me anything, typical mayweather games. I know you like to beat on “pretty girls” but this one going to beat your ass back
