Looking at Miguel Berchelt, looks like he is the more physically fit, after all he is the champion and definitely comfortable in this weight. Surprised though that Valdez is somewhat getting bigger and then he has to cut weight more weight in 14 days. I understand that he is coming up in weight and that is good, but it seems he overdo it. Anyway, I'm no expert here, just sharing my own opinion. I think Oscar Valdez is good to go, his abs is visible in the images, so when he cut down to 130 lbs, there will be no significant effect on his body, in my opinion. Of course, Miguel Berchelt will be the bigger guy because this is his natural weight. But there are a lot of boxers going up in weight throughout boxing history that upset the champion so this is still 50:50 and it will definitely can go as one of the best fight for 2021. Agree, the thing we hear from Oscar Valdez is that he has the best trainer behind and although he is the underdog here, it could be good for him and his team as they could really be motivated to upset Miguel Berchelt, and odds are really very attractive for us gamblers. And as Oscar Valdez's body matures I think he will be a perfect fit for the 130 lbs division and it seems that squeezing 126 lbs will be much harder than losing the additional 6 lbs in this pre weight. |

Tyson Fury is such a unique fighter. Every time he goes into a fight I think he's going to lose badly, but he always wins. I saw a sports science episode on him I'll never forget. The guy's ability to react and dodge fights is super human. Literally, his response time is far greater than most human beings to the point it has allowed him to become an elite fighter in spite of some major flaws. Given his appearance, I think his gifts catch opponents off guard and allow him to take advantage of their underestimation of him. I don't think his style is a secret, so you know fighters are training for it, but seeing it in person is another story they can't really train for which is why I think it catches them off guard even when they are expecting it.
Considering his flawless record, his opponent should come out with something that would work to beat him up, or else Fury will demolish him like any other boxers he fought. I also thought that this man was close to retirement but when I say his age, he is not that old. He has some unique skills that his opponent doesn't have and also hard to punch as well. If they gonna fought in the middle east then this fight is pretty big and he should get also consider getting all of the unification heavyweight title after he wins this fight. It's because that Fury is also good in the mental game, destroying his opponents even before the fight start with his trash talking, or more of like a psyche war. So fights can be won without throwing punch. Plus he has a winning attitude as well, he has the talent yes, but he brings it to the next level by training hard every fight regardless of who he is facing. Unlike Wilder who simply doesn't want to train, according to his coach. And that's why we have fighters like Floyd and Wilder who is still undefeated because talent + attitude equals greatness. I don't like the comparison though, honestly, I believe that Fury is even better, he does not run inside the ring unlike Mayweather. Fury is willing to take bigger risk by engaging in the ring, even the most powerful puncher like Wilder, so I have respect to him than Mayweather. I'm comparing their records, both are undefeated, maybe I was no clear about that. And as much as we hate Floyd Mayweather, he has the talent and the attitude to be great that when he retires he 49-0 or 50-0. That's why there is still a debate even here in the community about Floyd's road to greatness because he doesn't engage by play defense which he is good at. Not defending Floyd, but the comparison is base on their individual record and their approach towards the sports in terms of training and attitude. |

The dogecoin has already pumped up twice with the help of popular persons like Elon Musk, now that many people are trying to invest in Dogecoin, expecting to have another madness on doge. So what if, Elon Musk and other popular experts stopped supporting this meme coin, is there are a possibility that Dogecoin reaches 1$ on its own?
Why not? It has been pump so hard that these pump and dump group are just going to continue it. Doesn't matter if Elon Musk will stop supporting it. Doge has already build a audience from all the trading and pump and group groups specially WSB. Well, like what I've said, this is just a meme coin, no utility, no usage but what do you think will be the realistic value of Dogecoin for the upcoming years?
Good question, not really sure though, perhaps it will just go with the flow, when we are in a bearish market, then it will be down hard, but in a bullish trend, it could go and reach new all time high. |

Right, when Paypal join crypto, just a matter of time before Visa or Mastercard rushing and preparing their infrastructure for a massive upgrade to cover bitcoin and other crypto as another payment method.
Although bitcoin is really growing, doesn't mean that it will not go down. It is still one of the best investments but at the risk is still there. But this is welcoming news indeed, but the biggest news is still Elon Musk and Tesla investing into bitcoin.

2 back to back OT games between OKC and Lakers. From the looks of it, it seems like another OT win for the Lakers. LeBron's clutch 3 pointer tied the game to bring it into overtime. Dort had a free 3 for the win, but he missed it.
In the other game, Bucks trailed by 1 with 2.5 secs to go and they decided to give the ball to Giannis outside the 3point line instead of giving it to Middleton. Giannis takes a jumper and of course, misses. I don't know why Giannis is standing outside of 3 point line in the first place and what their plan was with just 2.5 secs remaining.
Edit: Lakers win 114 - 113 OKC
We have 3 great games today that is only won by 1 point. 113--114 Lakers 124-125 Suns 117-118 Mavericks. All these are great games to see, it looks like the old NBA is back where we see a thrilling game like this. Hopefully we can see more of this entertaining games and congrats to the winners. We are almost half of this season, so teams have really blend very well specially those who have a lot of players being acquired before the start. And they have been developing, so expect many more high scoring but close games in the next coming days. So yes, the NBA is back, adjusted well in the bubble, in the West, it's only 7 games separating the 1st spot Jazz against the 8th seeded Warriors, and only a few games separating from 2-7. |

This is just the start though, maybe we will see more big companies do what Tesla or other billionaires are doing right now. Hedge their wealth into bitcoin, fight inflation, so it's a win win situation for them and for us bitcoin enthusiast.
Now it's $48k and maybe we will see $50k next or even more. So let's see who are going to be suckered into bitcoin, I wouldn't be surprised to see other billionaires like in the other industries to get into the bitcoin bandwagon.

^^ Diyas was great, although Pera climb back and tie the game.
Sorry for Pera though, she just throw her upset of Kerber in the first round. She should have perform better against Diyas as this is winnable for her.
The now entertaining Nick Kyrgios is now playing against Humbert. Another upset as well as Hsieh trounces #8 Andreescu, in straight sets.

Provably that is but since they stop it, hopefully they offer better promotion since the competition here is so tight as many casino are doing there own ways to get more gamblers. But let see there next move after this. Also maybe in next following days will try to play here just for curiosity.
Yeah I have seen many Sites now choose to advertise or promote in , Discord and instagram and other place where they can broadcast Live. But a 1 week Campaign in this forum won't really Give significant effect because Crypto gamblers are cautious they tend to observe first before depositing or at least looking for freebies to testing the site . Hope they will come out with more attractive advertising and lure us to gamble in their sites. Maybe they will have second thoughts about closing their signature campaign abruptly after just a week. Or they could continue in their social media sites on promoting their gambling platform. But we all know that this community is the biggest out there, and I think no other platform can match bitcointalk as far as exposure. So I would just advise them to re-think and maybe in the future, they will reopen their signature campaigns specially if they have no promotions and give aways. |

I don't know if you guys have watch the game, the coin toss was won by Kansas City Chief - Heads. However, they have lost to Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
Perhaps the OP can update us as what happened to that 5 BTC bet, win or lose.
so theres really a cointoss on a superbowl game ? thats cool i thought the op was betting on an actual coin toss/flip game . i didnt get his post at first but now i know . That's how the game start, as to who are going to have the first possession of the ball, similar to a jump ball in basketball. And yes, it is including in the betting for the game, coin toss, heads or tails, who will score the first TD and so on. betting on coinflip on an event like superbowl is exciting than betting on the normal coinflip game , no wonder why there are some bettors that can risk high amounts such as 5 btc because this event was special .
Just the same though in my opinion, 50/50 chance of winning. But I would agree to the opinion of others, maybe this is a way to get member join the gambling Telegram group. |

What I love most about this news is that they want to use as a method of payment. Some times, we most times forget then sole purpose of Bitcoin because of the price pumb.
Additional, we hope the Tesla CEO won't use this means to manipulate the price of Bitcoin
The only way he can manipulate the price is to dump all their holdings, but I doubt that he will allow that to happen. It is obvious that Elon is here to used bitcoin as their main reserve asset investment and as you have said if they are going to allow it as payment method in the future, doesn't make sense to manipulate it as it will have drastic effect on their business decisions. This news hasn't sink it as well, and it could again set a precedent for other mega companies on whatever sector to join bitcoin and do what Elon Musk did here, not just for himself but for the investors of his company as well. |

As said when this XRP-SEC issue has exploded, when one common and popular exchange starts to halt trading operations for XRP on their US customers, the others will follow and the action couldn't only be for US customers and markets but could affect the entire XRP market for that particular exchange. This is expected just like the other exchanges that have all decided to remove and halt their XRP trading operations.
But probably only the exchange which are based in US gonna delist the XRP and exchange that was specifically made for US customer like for example Binance US. The rest of exchanges that's not based in US could make their own decision whether to delist or not but what's for sure is XRP gonna lose a lot market trading volume if this delist goes on. Not to mention if SEC win the lawsuit Yes, but there are other exchange outside the jurisdiction of the US that will continue to trade XRP. But the thing is that US SEC arm is far reaching, so it's really hard to trade XRP on exchanges that still allow them and in their list. So it's better to really trade within that exchange and then move it to bitcoin just to be on the safe side. We have seen XRP still flowing even with the lawsuit against SEC, but it's going to be a long ride and it's better to stay safe and stay away from XRP until everything settles down. |

... is Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady won his seven super bowl, and it was a route actually, not even close. This time though, it was 50/50, his offense get them going, and then damn the defense really makes it harder for Mahomes to throw TD.
So there's no debate as to who is the greatest to lace a football uniform, as TB proves that at age 43 is he the greatest of all time.
Score is: 31-9.

I am new at http://bitcointalk.org. I want to know more about BTCitcoin. One of my friends told me BTCitcoin will go up to $1000K. Is this possible?  Everything is possible in bitcoin, back in 2017, we didn't think that it can go as high as $20k. You can look back at old thread during that time, it says that the price could only peak at $5k. Same in 2020, there was a survey in WO thread that says bitcoin will only reach $16k max at the end of last year. But look at where the price is $33k and then in January it sets a new all time high at $41,900. So past history tells us that bitcoin is so resilient and that the predicting the price is really very difficult. As we may encounter a lot of challenges like the Covid-19 pandemic scare, but in the end, bitcoin has the ability to recover and bounce back. Just remember to invest what you can afford to lose though. |

Right, the level of activity of these scammers are increasing and this is another way of tricking newbies into depositing to this bitmycap and other similar looking sites, but they wouldn't know until they have been scam.
Seems that this clone sites are not the thing because criminals can just recreate everything can the domain name and then repeat, go to discord and other social media to spread this scam trading site. Nice catch and good job again.

Just a curious question.
How long can this BULL run last??
As there will be a huge correction inevitably.
Would love to hear different strategies or exit plans or Hodlers
Which coin should we buy now?
Guidance from old Experts would be appreciated!
Hard to say though, but I will say this, we are not yet officially on the BULL run for altcoin market. Why? Bitcoin is still dominating the crypto market, so far only Ethereum has surpassed it's all time high and the rest are still struggling although they are making a good run and it might take months. For Holders there are no plans except to buy in the dip. So we are still far from the BULL run, still a period of accumulation for some top ten altcoins. |

Thats the current situation of crypto regulation in Nigeria, the statement was issued yesterday by the central bank of Nigeria. Nigeria currently has a high rate of unemployment amongst the youths, and the country's young population have delved into crypto trading and investment, most especially Bitcoin, it comes as a surprise that the government is trying to block that source without adequately providing for it's pupulace.
If this is the case then it will just make it worse for Nigeria though, probably this is just an excuse to really control their population. Why not let the populace grow since the government can't provide basic needs for their people? The community of crypto users in Nigeria are quite knowledgeable on the network, so they'll prolly know how to circumvent this ban, the thing now is, p2p vendors in the country could hike their conversion to naira price, making things difficult for crypto users in Nigeria.
I hope so, but it's like you are going to watch your back every time you deal with crypto. But throughout history though, we all know that humans knows how to get around with this kind of control from the government's control. |

Broner is already a worn out fighter his boxing has been broken. We see how Pacquiao expose the weakness of his style in close range combat. He's an open book, should end his career if he's to lose with this match, we all know that Mexicans are skilled and love to brawl. Steady counter puncher like Broner should be an easy target. Probably the underdog has the upperhand here.
Though bookies has not yet placed an odds for this fight but i do think that Broner would be the favorite to win here and Santiago would be on the other side. He may have lost to Manny Pacquiao and have not fight since but i do thing he is not yet a worn out boxer, he is just 31 years old and i do think that he still have a fight left in him, he have to train more and talk less  . Of course, on his age he would come so far to become the most highest paid boxer and show more good fights in the future. This man placed more odds rather than those new boxers, because his experience on several fight fights is a key factor to enhance according to his skills as well. At that age, it's not yet over and I believed he definitely acquire more match and boost up his career in order to take that legacy. I don't see what kind of legacy Broner will leave in boxing, probably his "trash talking" which he was popular of. Any boxer that fought Manny Pacquiao will always be remembered and as cocky as Broner, fans will not be having a hard time to remember him. Legacy? None, he will be forgotten in obscurity, as I have said he is now a B level fighter, maybe not past his prime, but he is going there in that path very quick. It's good though that he is still under contract and security a fight this February. He will be known like this:  Internet sensation when he his lost to Marcos Maidana. |

Been betting underground for many years now, horse racing, lottery, local basketball games, cock fighting, you name it, been there done that. Actually just like week, some of my friends are caught red handed in a cock fight, luckily I didn't go with them. Only one was able to run, the rest are caught.
My thoughts is that the government can't prevent it, will be cat and mouse game. And gamblers will continue to do illegal stuff, just saying.

Why do almost 90% of the platforms introduced through this forum have to create their own coins and tokens immediately?
What I've learned about the founders of giant platforms like Paypal, Alibaba, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. is that they don't. They just make a platform that really hopes it will be used by people around the world without creating tokens to attract investors early in the journey (maybe they did but it was privately so that in the end we only heard the story). So that when their platform becomes a well-known brand, the money comes naturally through big investors, sponsors, and partners from other well-known figures/brands.
As you have said, those companies has a lot of public and private fundings initially, and it could be millionaire venture capital that really bet big on those projects early because it is unique. As compare to crypto space, very different, they need capital and then scam people, LOL. And there are things here on what we call the prime movers of crypto like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Then that's where the comparison with Paypal or Google or Twitter or Facebook. They are first in the crypto space and obviously get the most support of crypto enthusiast. |
