Actually, LTC had it's halving, just a couple of months ahead of bitcoin, and it did a good jump in the price. However, it was not sustainable, and when we entered the bear market, LTC has suffered as well. But since the price of the majority of altcoins are down since, if you wanted to hold long term a certain coin, LTC might be one of them.

For Monero, another solid crypto, but the problem is that many are afraid because of crypto regulations and many exchanges have been delisting it as well. And US are hell bent to de-anonymized it even hiring some companies to find a way to break it down. So my thoughts is that since its on the radar, it will be hard pressed to see the price goes up, in my opinion.

I don't know if you have followed Djokovic off-court behaviour, but he is like a anti-vaccine person or his has a personality that is different from the norm. And this is one reason why he is not well loved, like Federer or Nadal eventhough he is the top seed and could broke the record of Federer. And yes that tournament also cemented his belief or non-belief about covid and vaccines. Anyhow, let's see if he can do the golden slams and win the Olympics.

At least we still have another Filipino champ here going to fight Rigo and hopefully this fight is going to push through as schedule and no more delays. Still the exciting Casimero will be the favorite, and I wanted him to destroy Rigo in this fight. So that there will be no doubt about him facing the winner of Inoue vs Donaire. And it could be inevitable to see Filipinos unifying the belt if Casimero and Donaire wins.

It's better if the OP will add a poll.

In any case, I will vote for Charlo, I think he has all the advantage in this fight. Speed, power, experience as well. That 1.41 odd might trim down a bit as we approach like 2 days in the fight. But just like the bettors here, I wlll go with Charlo, but not with the ML, unless I'm going to put a lot of money in him to have at least a good return. Will wait for my favourite sportbookies to give us more betting options and more good odds.

I don't see any unusual thing on that. And that's why I was surprised to see him doing some thrash talking in the media early (maybe to really hype the fight), but he usually respects his opponent and that was evident in the press conference.

Everyone respects Manny though, and those who didn't? they know what's in store for them as Manny will do the talking with his fist, (just like what happen to Thurman).

Even if you share the transaction id's, we can't do anything about it, not even bitcoin.com or bittrex.com. These criminals are good at hiding their tracks so even if you follow it through blockchain, you will get lost along the way. I do hope that it's not that big amount you lost.

And let this be a lesson not just for you but for others to really secure their accounts on an exchange, or better yet, don't put all your bitcoins in an exchange. Better yet to put in a wallet wherein you have the private keys. Your machine might be compromised already, so better to re-format it, just to make sure.

Here are the current odds of the fight:

Joshua @1.45
Usyk @2.95

That's only ML, there are no other betting options left. But I would tend to agree with @hilariousetc said, this is going to be close. Not going to be like a walk in the park for Joshua. Last time he did, he lost to Andy Ruiz. So he shouldn't take this fight lightly, as Usyk might pull an upset here.

Actually he did have another 40+ point game for a 3rd game in a row. So he is not with some of the elites as far as number that points scored, in the like of Kobe and Jordan.

Phoenix Suns really have to fight back, but Bucks are too strong in game 3. Jrue Holiday scored 20+ points and it's enough to help Giannis in the offense. But to be honest, there are a lot of bad calls and Phoenix was the receiving end. Anyhow, still possible for the Phoenix run to win in 5 games assuming that they are going to win next game. But it will be tough as the game will be in the home court of the Bucks again.

Yeah, I think Golden slam is incoming, last leg is US Open, and with the way he is playing, he is unstoppable. US Open is not Nadal's cup of team, Roger will try but he has to go to a lot of young players and he is ageing. While Djokovic is somewhat hitting his prime and as long as there are these young players that are going to push him, he will be above anyone else because he has the experience and the mentality game. Nothing to be ashamed for Berrettini, now he proves that he is a all around player (clay and grass).

I guess they also have to re-adjust since Giannis is already back on the floor. Lopez has a great shooting touch, in this series, we are missing his hook or offensive rebounds.

He needs to be aggressive and play like in the series against Atlanta. Dominate inside and then try to score point inside the paint.


We have two Olympic bound players in the Bucks uniform, Middleton and Holiday, so they need to proved their worth in this series against the Suns. So I'm expecting at least one of them to have a good offensive night once the game shift on their home court. Something like 30 points at least to help Giannis at the scoring end.

@blockman - Here are the names:

- Alexis Rocha https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/746813
- Maurice Lee https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/648938

Both 5'10 and south paw (left handed), similar to Spence height and fighting stance.

And then we have the more experienced Ivan Redkach, listed as 5'9 but he could be taller.

So Freddy Roach comes big with his sparring partners (literally) going to push Manny specially young fighters like Rocha. Manny though is used to fight bigger guys so probably just a small adjustments on his part. But he hasn't seen or box a fighter like Spence, at his prime and he is a lefty like him.

As far as I know, the price on CMC is per average price of each token, so maybe that's where the difference is. Because they are taking the price of the token in every exchange listed, so there is a big discrepancy. I would say you did a good job investigating the real price on the website.

Your next question about CMC is making a mistake, that's possible, I think historically they have posted wrong price too, (even before the Binance/CZ take over of CMC).

Still 50/50 for me. You can't simply give the giant whales respect because at the end of the day, they are the biggest holder and accumulators of bitcoin and they can do whatever they want, change the rules to favor them. So what will happen to us average joe?

So it's either you respect or love or totally hate them. It all depends on how you see their presence in the ecosystem.

I think it started with the Suns in four slogan against the Nuggets. And then the same with the Clippers although Clippers fought back. And since they are now up 2-0, possible that a sweep in the finals against the Bucks unless Giannis and company found the blueprint to stop Booker and Chris Paul to at least win one game at home. Maybe he is close to 100% but he is needs help. Khris Middelton and Jrue Holiday came up big against the Hawks but seems can't find the rhythm against the Suns.

That's why it spell the difference between losing and winning. If you continue and think that you are not going to run out of luck then you might end up losing in the end. And we have this house edge, sooner or later probabilities will caught up and then you start on a losing streak. That's why we need to have a lot of control. You need big bankroll in order to recoup what you have lost, otherwise, if you are in a losing streak of 5-7 then you can't recover if you don't have the capital to double up next time. Yes, probably it's better to let the game come to you and not used this supposedly "successful strategies" and just play.

Yeah, lost my bet, I thought that Bucks has the chance to pull it off, and just like game 1, they are good in the first quarter alone. LOL. Giannis though play very high level, but Middleton, who is supposedly the second option for the team has missed a lot of shots. Jrue, started strong as well, but the same story.



So game 3 will be at Fiserv Forum, let's see how Bucks are going to respond. They are now in the must win situation here.

I'm one of those who take the risk on the Bucks ML. Put my bet on them @2.77 odds.

Not huge amount, but just enough to watch the game and have some fun along the way. I'm seeing that Giannis will come back strong in game 2 and the Bucks adjusting to the Suns fast paced game. They need to play tough defense and not allow the Suns dictate the tempo of the game. Jrue Holiday will also need to be aggressive offensively.

The problem with martingale is that you need to have huge capital to begin with, otherwise you will get busted quicker than you think. Even if you started small amounts, if you are "unlucky", this strategy won't work.

I don't have specific strategies though, probably you just have to play with the money you are willing to lose. And if you found yourself doubling or even tripling that bankroll, I guess it's time to stop and take home that winnings.

He drew inspirations from our sources, you can clearly see it from the references in the whitepaper. So it's not revolutionary at all, it's just he pieces it all together, the mistakes from the past and then weave it all together and created BTC.

Again, we don't need to exaggerate and have this kind of superlatives when defining bitcoin. It contains flaws as well, and it is not perfect but any means. You can read it here: Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.

I think this is not the end of his career, although we know that he is not getting any younger, thus his body is also deteriorating, he might continue to go and choose tournaments still in the calendar and continue his career until he can no longer play.

We should give credit to Hurkacz, he really played very well from the second set and the 3rd to give Federer his worst beating in a Wimbledon quarter final. Odds are against him though against Berrettini.
