41  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: July 01, 2024, 03:29:34 AM
The UFC's uncle Dana has told reporters his opinion on King Ry's suspension when he was asked about this and it appears that according on his own experience and what his legal team has told him, uncle Dana speculates that King Ry might have used tainted supplements.

Devin Haney might also knows this and this is why he is so very much devastated. King Ry did not cheat to win.



After a terrific win against Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia was in complete disbelief when he discovered his B-sample tested positive for Ostarine, a selective androgen receptor modulator, in other words, a PED. Although Garcia and his legal team argued for the boxer’s innocence, the NYSAC ultimately banned ‘KingRy’ for a year after a deal with his legal team, changing his victory against Haney into a no-contest. Now, UFC president Dana White jumped to Ryan Garcia’s defense, publicly claiming the latter did not cheat!

And now Dana White said, “With all our knowledge that we have and the years that we’ve been drug-testing, we believe the people who had handled the drug-testing [knew] that he took a tainted supplement and that he did not cheat.” In White’s opinion, Garcia’s team failed to handle the matter well.

“If he had the right people around him that wouldn’t have happened. We were pretty confident it was a tainted supplement,” Dana White added at the post-fight press conference for UFC 303.

“It’s not my fight, it’s none of my business, not my place to even talk about it. But, from what my team tells me, and these guys are the best, it was a tainted supplement,” White concluded confidently.

@Iranus. I have heard different news with different storylines. Some speculations tell everyone that Biden will be replaced and other news tell everyone that the Democrats will continue their support for Biden. This might imply that the Democrats are very much confused.

@legendbtc. Very much similar to George Soros, Larry Fink is a supporter of the Democrats. This is not a rumor.

@pooya87. We are speculating on what the Democrats might decide after witnessing Biden's performance on the debate against Trump. Before this was a different storyline. It also implies that the Democrats did not have a plan if Biden's memory loss will worsen.
43  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Turkey is eyeing finalization of taxing cryptocurrencies by next year on: July 01, 2024, 01:25:19 AM
Is this supposed to be a positive development or otherwise? Because this seems like a plan or trap that Turkish government is trying to discourage crypto speculation and encourage more traditional investment because the proposed tax rate is between 15% and 30%, which is quite high compared to traditional financial transactions according to what I read here . Although it has not been approved but I don't expect anything less. The Turkish government has been considering imposing a tax on cryptocurrency transactions since at least from 2021 And from what you posted, it seems that they're getting closer to finalizing this tax. If it's approved it would make Turkey one of the first countries in the world to impose a tax on crypto transactions. However, we are watching to see how this tax would be implemented and enforced.

Would it be taxable if someone did not sell any cryptocoin and only continued holding it? If I bought bitcoin after the implementation of this rule, do i need to pay taxes for unrealized profits? This would he headshaking if they do this. However, of you are only forced to pay taxes after selling your cryptocoin to fiat, I reckon that this would be very good for a hodling coin like bitcoin. Turkish people should be encouraged to become bitcoin maximalists heheheheh.
44  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Coinbase sues SEC, FDIC on: July 01, 2024, 12:41:54 AM
I've read today some interesting posts on Twitter which I will partly quote here. I think that SEC will face quite a number of lawsuits in the near future.

🚨BREAKING: In a 6-3 opinion, the Supreme Court has just overruled the #Chevron deference, a 1984 precedent that says when congressional laws are "ambiguous”, federal judges should defer to "reasonable" federal agency discretion.

My (non attorney) 1st impression is this effectively ends the Gensler SEC agenda.

1) With the corroborating evidence of the House passing FIT 21 which declares non equity/debt digital assets to NOT be securities, all (non fraud) enforcement tied to the SEC interpretation of Howey are DOA, as it is clearly NOT supported by legislation.

This will certainly occur. Uncle Gary and his friends should begin reducing their anticrypto activities because it is beginning to be very much more possible that Biden will lose the election and with this, also lose the people that protect uncle Gary in Biden's cabinet.

However, will Trump keep his promises on bitcoin and the cryptospace? I am skeptical, however, we should support his decision and wish.

@Jating shared a video where Eddie Hearn and Devin Haney has a problem. It begins on 4:20.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onNmdz9WuFY

It appears that the Eddie Hearn is implying that it will be difficult to promote Devin Haney after the loss to King Ry and it would also be very difficult to make money from his fights. Does this also imply that King Ry has ended Devin Haney's career? Yes, I reckon. Boxing will not very be profitable for Devin and his father anymore. He can only return as a big name in boxing with a rematch against King Ry and Devin must win this.

Promoting Haney will be something similar to marketing a broken product.
46  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: June 29, 2024, 05:38:52 AM

^ Garry is the one of the most hated guys in UFC. But he is very well rounded though. Fans always wants him to be KO's but the Garry is very skilled. If he wins vs MVP, it will piss more of the UFC fans. But same with MVP, he isn't also the most liked person even in Bellator. Its what happens when a fighter showboat all the time.

Pereira by the way asked for trilogy if ever he lose against Jiri. Anything can happen so he said but if UFC agrees immediate then Anka has no chance of fighting Alex.

Hehehe agreed! Is he becoming similar to his Irish countryman Conor McGregor? It is beginning, I reckon. It will certainly become a stronger argument if he gets the knockout victory vs. Michael Venom.

On Pereira, why did he asked for a trilogy before the fight? Is he predicting for himself in his own mind that he might lose this rematch? This is very headshaking for a fighter.

The skeptical me speculates that Poatan is becoming a businessman heheheheh.

@Abiky. You might be mistaken hehehe. Did you watch the debate? After this, it very much appears that it is Biden who is presently very desperate on convincing the people to get more votes. The debate has shown that he not anymore qualified to run as the president of America.

I predict that within 3 months, the Democrats will use Biden's memory problems as an excuse to choose another candidate for their campaign. They might also declare that Biden should be replaced as president.

@NotFuzzyWarm. No, what you are describing is only a storyline created to make it appear that the skeptical people who ask questions are comical. However, I am talking about the billionaires with corporate interests and the corrupt politicians who allow themselves to be used by these billionaires heheheh. They own the biggest and the best land, they own the corporations, they are very much well connected to the best universities and the various religious institutions. They own everyone, we have owners. We work for them, everything we buy and own is bought from them, our owners.
49  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney - Sandor Martin Ordered By WBC For The Light Welterweight Title on: June 28, 2024, 05:25:07 AM
The Haney-Garcia was ruled a no-contest, and Haney is back as an undefeated champion again, but to everybody's surprise, Haney requested DAZN to remove the footage; he also requested YouTube to remove all footage about his losses, which IU doubt DAZN will grant as its one of the big money maker on YouTube with over 13 million views now and growing.
YouTube is unlikely to remove it as it is part of history that the fight happens regardless of what happened after the fight.

Haney is so devastated that he wants people to forget the fight happen but I doubt people will forget it, the fight will hound him for the rest of his boxing career.

~snip~

Devin Haney is certainly more than devastated. His mind and heart has been very much destroyed! He has requested a champion on recess and cancelled the fight against Sandor Martin. Devin Haney will need more than 1 year vacation and an immediate rematch vs. King Ry if he wants his mind to return to normal. However, after the suspension and similar to what I have predicted before, there will be a rematch. There will be another knockout of Devin Haney by King Ry and there will be another dirty sample of urine from King Ry hehehehehehehe.

Devin Haney is clearly devastated and i think he is not yet ready physically and mentally for a fight, if this Sandor Martin fight will push through, there is a big chance that he will be defeated as his focus right now is to regain that zero lose and erase the footage of his fight against Ryan hehe.

Great boxers like Manny Pacquaio recovers from a devastating lose against Juan Manuel Marquez and move forward as if nothing happens, this kind of mentality should ne instilled on the head of Haney as not all the time you will win in boxing. The measurement of greatness for me in boxing  is how you bounce back from a lose and not with a zero lose.

Yes, if there is a word that is more worse than devastated, this is Devin Haney. This should be his new fighting name hehehe. Devin the Devastated Haney heheheeh. He might never return to his confident self because you know why? I speculate that he has also used steroids! All of these athletes use steroids.

On Pacman, he has a very mature mind. I read articles about his hardships in his country. I reckon that this will certainly cause a strong mind to develop in a person. If he did not become a boxer, we can be quite certain he will be successful in another chosen career.

@rdbase. The picture of samurai Jiri and Amazon warrior Poatan has caused me to become very much excited hehehehe. I reckon that this UFC 303 remains to be very good even if the fight of Conor and Chandler is cancelled.

Also yes, there is also the fight of Michael Venom and Ian Garry. The fans were cheering for Venom, however, they were not cheering for him because he is better fighter than Garry. They might be cheering for him because the face of Garry is very much annoying.



There is also a very good fight with sexy fighting kittens Michelle Waterson vs. Gillian Robertson hehehehe.

51  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing, the Trump pump is beginning on: June 28, 2024, 03:19:55 AM

And don't forget that current framework for crypto regulations were accepted during 2019 when Trump was in office.
-cut-
I don't know any crypto investors who hate Trump and support Biden, but I thought you might know about the news that the Winklevoss twins donated $2 million to Mr. Trump's election campaign.
Do you think the first bitcoin investors were stupid to support Mr. Trump? Do you think they don't know what he did in the past with bitcoin? But why do they still support him and not Biden? They are investors from the US market and I believe they understand what is happening there better than us.

They also gave reasons why they supported Mr. Trump and not Biden on their X account, I think you should take the time to read to understand better why they decided to support Mr. Trump.
Just because people hate both parties, they might vote for lesser evil. And if you have at all read let's say r/cryptocurrency, or even this forum, there are lots of people loathing Trump. And i would say that in r/cryptocurrency, majority seems to NOT be on trump's side.


I also use reddit but not often, I know the r/cryptocurrency board has more than 8.2 million members but less than 1000 active members and there are also members who support Mr. Trump. Like bitcointalk, how many members do you think are from the US? Therefore, it can be said that the community at r/cryptocurrency and bitcointalk is not representative of the entire cryptocurrency industry or investors in the US. Meanwhile, it can be seen that top investors in the US are voting for Mr. Trump instead of the current administration.

In addition to the Winklevoss twins, recently Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, also said she plans to vote for Mr. Trump because of the US economy. And yet, billionaire Mark Cuban also thinks that Trump can win against President Biden thanks to cryptocurrency.

Rich or poor, they only have 1 vote and can only support 1 person, what I care about is that their vision will certainly be different and from there will create a different economy. Why do we also want to be rich but think the rich people's choices are wrong?



https://www.theblock.co/post/301370/ark-invest-ceo-cathie-wood-will-vote-for-trump
https://www.newsweek.com/mark-cuban-crypto-biden-sec-regulation-election-1913224

This Winklevoss twins, grandma Cathie Wood and baldman Brian Armstrong are nothing if we are talking about their support for Trump. What we should be very concerning for the people in the cryptospace who do not like to vote for Trump is the support of the new mayor of bitcoin Larry Fink. Who is this man supporting, Trump or Biden?

However, it is mentioned in some articles that Larry Fink has been a supporter of the Democratic party. It is very uncommon for these people to change their support to another party. But if he is silent, this might be a signal that he is not very confident on Biden as a candidate to support bitcoin and the cryptospace.
52  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: June 27, 2024, 03:12:09 AM

Ian Garry is the fave though. Many fans think this is the most unpredictable fight in this card and they probably will not add this to their parlay. I don't see MVP aged, he still puts on a show every fight and can manage to defeat Holland even at his age. Quick reflex to getting hit from Holland's strikes. With Garry who has no BJJ and wrestling, this will be a fair fight that MVP could stand. As long a MVP can make a distance and close in for a strike. This could be a win for him.
 


However, it appears that this Michael Venom has become very much over estimated after his victory against Kevin Holland. Yes, I predict Ian Garry will leg kick the very thin legs of this Michael Venom and this will create an open punch on this Venom's jaw for the knockout by Ian Garry. We can be quite certain that Michael Venom cannot make a distance on Ian Garry's kicks on the legs heheehhe.

Many fans think this is unpredictable? This is the most predictable, I reckon.

@cabron. Hehehe they think mic muting will be very advantageous for Biden, however, this does not stop Donald Trump from talking loudly or shouting while Joe Biden is speaking on the mic. I am quite certain this will be a comedy show with Trump breaking the party prepared by Jake Tapper for Biden.

I reckon Trump might lose the debate, however, all of the comedy will come from him which will make it appear that he is the winner hehehehehehe.

@Maus0728. We can be quite certain that this is not backwards in their thinking. The government officials in your country and the rest of the world are serving for the rulers of the country. They are not serving you the taxpayers. You paying the government to oppress you hehehehe.

On the real rulers, they command the people they put in government to create laws, rules and regulations to control everything including you. They do not care about you, you are something similar to a livestock and they are the farmers.
55  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing, the Trump pump is beginning on: June 27, 2024, 12:01:05 AM
2. The SEC will create clear guidelines in what is an illegal security and what is a commodity.
3. They create new KYC rules because their old rules have been difficult for the people in the cryptospace.
4. They stop treating the Tornado Cash founders and other developers of privacy software very much like criminals.[/i]
2: It's literally their job now. How they are going to make it more clearer? You are hinting that there's an easy way for something as complex securities laws?
3: You mean FinCEN specifically? How are old rules difficult? That's literally just proof of identity and income.
4: I am not sure if they are prepared to tear up current world wide AML regulations. I am sure that trump would love to hide more of his money though.

Agreed that there are questions and there will also difficulties on implementation. I was only arguing that their sincerity towards procryptoness will only be seen if we begin witnessing these 4 occurrences from them.

In any case, there will be a debate tomorrow between these 2 candidates Trump and Biden hehehehe.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-v-8wJkmwBY

This will be live. I wish there will be a question on bitcoin and the cryptospace.
56  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Bets! on: June 26, 2024, 01:58:54 AM
Don't you guys think Putin loves that they are ruining Trump's reputation?
We hear it all the time Trump is a Putin's Dog but putting Trump as president will not be an advantage for Putin since Trump is going to stop the war.

Yeah lol, what will he do it, build a wall? Oh wait!
This is the guy that moved the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, threw 100 rockets at Syria because why not, and decided on a whim to turn the highest ranking general in Iran, their national hero in kebab cause he wanted to prove a thing. And you expect him to end a war? Yeah right!
He's the same guy that put gas on fire when congratulating the Taiwan president just because he wanted to piss China!

Anyhow, anyone taking bets this far ahead of the election is more than just gambling, remember how Trump was a favorite to win and got trashed in the last months, just as Clinton was far ahead in the polls only to lose basically in the last few strides. Anything can happen, and despite Trump's advantage a stagnation in inflation or continuous decrease is going to erode his voters as most are voting for him not because of his policies but because they are pissed at Biden.


The odds are very far from what it was then:



If Trump still loses this time. I guess this is all still going to end up like how it was in the last election. But still, I doubt Biden will win knowing that he will be debating against Trump this June 27. This will be on Thursday. Seeing Biden as a meme himself, this will be a funny debate. I will be surprised if the old man won't walk like a zombie.  Memecoins I think are about to skyrocket.


Hehehe agreed. On the odds, I reckon that Trump's odds will become more lower after the debate because the confidence on Biden will decrease further. However, the fight is not on convincing the the Biden supporters to begin their support on Trump or convincing the Trump supporters to support Biden. It is the swing voters who will give the victory for one of these candidates. This will change and give the lead to Trump sometimes and also on other times it will give it to Biden. This will be a very suspenseful campaign considering that there is a war in Ukraine and the Middle East. They will very much have different foreign policies and it will be very head shaking if Trump is the winner because he will be the president to encourage the stoppage of the war in Ukraine and the Middle East. China however will be Trump's enemy hehehehehehe.
57  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul to Fight Mike Tyson in Live Netflix Boxing Event - July 20 on: June 26, 2024, 01:14:46 AM
Mike Perry should be a tough opponent for Jake. Perry hasn't lost in bare knuckle yet, though big boxing gloves will take away a lot of his strength.

Perry has an 0-1 record in boxing. I don’t believe his success in BKFC will translate all that well in gloved boxing. His wins in BKFC were against old MMA guys. He doesn’t really have an adequate level of experience to succeed against even a low level boxer like Jake Paul. The size difference will also be a factor against him. If Perry has a good chin, then Paul might struggle his way to a decision win but I don’t see an outcome where Perry is a winner.

Yeah, and most likely that's why Jake Paul pick him up as a late replacement, I mean in paper he looks good, could be deceiving as he is a Bare Knuckle "Champion". So that is the key there, that word that could create hype in this fight and as if we see him taking a big risk against Perry.

But if you look closely at Mike Perry's record 0-1 in boxing and then he had like barely weeks to train and condition himself, while Jake has been in the gym for many weeks already and could be in his peak, not overtraining but about his his absolute prime come July 20.

However, Mike Perry's experience should not be underestimated because this can also end very much similar to Jake Paul's fight against Tommy Fury. Tommy Fury is not a very good boxer or a big name in boxing, however, he is a professional like Mike Perry.

Mike Perry's record in boxing is 0-1 because he is not a boxer. But add his record in mixed martial arts and bareknuckle boxing and it would be a different analysis.

The chances of the bill passing are small, but there will be such attempts all the time

Small is does not describe how certainly very small the chance for this bill to be passed hehehe. It is presently an election year and the collection of people from the cryptospace who are beginning to support Trump is growing. The democrats might only begin to give full support on this bill if Joe Biden has already won the election hehehe. I predict Elizabeth Warren, grandma Yellen and uncle Gary will again begin their anticrypto campaign with full strength.
59  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Argentinian Regulators Talk Bitcoin with El Salvador Authorities on: June 26, 2024, 12:12:22 AM
@pakhitheboss. I agree that it is a complicated circumstance, however, I am not arguing about this. I am arguing about the negotiating power of the IMF and the World Bank and how El Salvador's adoption of bitcoin as legal tender has decreased this on the negotiation table.

I am unsure how Bitcoin as a legal tender will give El-Salvadore an upper hand on the negotiation table. This is a complicated situation and only the President or his financial advisory team will know. I can only comment that in a way IMF and the World Bank are controlled by the US and as of now some of its most powerful financial institutions have the biggest bag of Bitcoin. This will only give an upper edge to the US government in controlling countries like EL-Salvadore as the government can ask those financial institutions to create a few market dips which is quite possible as to regain control. Bitcoin is still decentralized by its nature but these powerful institutions are slowly taking control by buying more and more from the market. I read somewhere and I am sorry I can not post the link but most exchanges are now not having as much Bitcoin as they used to have before the spot ETF approvals.

It has given some power back to Nayib Bukele on the negotiation table because he is doing what the World Bank and the IMF does not want. These institutions run by the rules want the small minnows to use only their currency because they want control. This is not anymore wholly possible with bitcoin as legal tender because the IMF and the World Bank cannot control bitcoin.

Also, what is more important is the symbol created from bitcoin being adopted as legal tender because other countries that want power back from the IMF and the World Bank can also begin to accept bitcoin as legal tender. I reckon that this is very much underestimated.
