Halftime. If anyone wants good in-game odds on KC - now's your time  Grin

It appears that the best propbets were all the Tom Brady overs. I remember the over rushing yards for Tom Brady was 0.5 in sportsbet.io. This might win also if the Chiefs do not make an adjustment.

Prediction. Travis Kelce to be this Superbowl's MVP if the Chiefs gets the victory!

Also, how would the drunk driving incident of Britt Reid affect the team's play as a whole? The skeptical me thinks this is a mafia type of set up and game fixing hehehehe.

@DireWolfM14. Be careful of that invitation. After this bull market many of us might make much money and fly to wherever you are and each bringing our own microbrews hehehe.

@suchmoon. What drinks are those?

The Longshot, The Big Short,  The Cooler, The Hustler, California Split, Hard Eight, and Poolhall Junkies. I specifically skipped poker movies here because it is not true gambling. Also when two pool hustlers play against each other, it is largely gambling as luck is often a determining factor in who wins.

Agreed on The Big Short. It depicts the stupidity of people who gamble on derivatives or also called bets derived from the market. It is also a depiction of how markets can collapse during a situation when everyone does not expect it. Is the cryptospace in a similar setting hehehe?

@zasad@. I might be better to tally the hacked and stolen amounts in no. of coins instead in dollars. The value of those coins might be more than double than their value on the day of the hack or less than double 2 years after the hack.

In any case, what is your speculation for hacked Defi projects for 2021? Will 2021 be more than the hacked amount of 2020 or less hehe?
4466  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeFi hacks [history] on: February 06, 2021, 05:01:38 AM
@zasad@. You should add the grand total of the hacked amount of coins in total no. of coins itself for 2020 and compare this with the grand total of hacked coins for 2021 during the end of this year hehe.

The future of Defi or any idea in the cryptospace will depend on security.

I would like to ask if bittrex maybe restore withdrawal for legacy accounts owner as poloniex did?
Have some funds there and don't trust them. They  are changing rules constantly :s

There is no possbility of this. Bittrex is a banked exchange. They will always demand for KYC before you can withdraw unless they decide to remove real fiat deposits, withdrawals and real fiat trading from the exchange and only offer USDT similar to what Poloniex an other unbanked exchanges have done.

Has anyone in the forum tried to buy bitcoin through Paypal? Can you post your screenshots of the interface? Thank you.

I read a news article on Coindesk where it mentioned that users log in twice as much after users bought bitcoin. This might imply that Paypal has gamified the buying and selling of bitcoin and other cryptocoins and have created a new generation of gambling addicts.

Another reason not to use Paypal.

@Karartma1. Agreed. The hodl campaign was very likely to occur because of bitcoin’s monetary policy. I am not implying that the monetary policy created is a mistake, however, developers should explore other types of policies. We are only in the early stages of cryptoeconomics.

Looks like the Poirier trilogy fight is definitely in the works:

Quote
BEST OF THREE Conor McGregor ‘buzzing’ for Dustin Poirier trilogy ‘for all the marbles’ as American confirms it’s in the pipeline

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/13942303/conor-mcgregor-dustin-poirier-rematch-ufc/

 
Makes sense for everyone involved really especially if both fighters want it. It's going to be red panty night for Poirier for sure. I'm not sure who I'd pick in a rematch. Conor needs to get the job done though to get back on track. Losing again is going to put him back by quite a bit.

Quote
McGregor has tonight uploaded a lengthy caption on Instagram where he all-but confirms the two warriors will go at it for a third time for 'all the marbles'.

And the triumphant Poirier appeared to confirm it too, as he tweeted shortly after: "You know we are going to do it a third time."

Alongside a highlights video from the fight, former two-weight world champ McGregor wrote: "What a trilogy I now have on my hands. Exciting!

"With a handle on the leg kicks I will get back to having fun in there. I was in second gear cruising this fight. Best condition I’ve ever been in.

"After the wrestling and clinch exchanges my shots still held their pop. First time for me with this so I am very encouraged to keep going.

"It was the first time I did not use/nor need the stool between rounds also. I did need the stool after though that’s for sure.

"I am extremely happy I did not need to use the stool between rounds here anyway. Another first for me!

Maybe he should use the stool this time. It's going to be interesting seeing how he adapts his game and deals with those leg kicks which he's obviously going to be vary weary of. Is Poirier going to just keep kicking or try something else?

However, similar to show business, if the movie will not make the projected profit, it might not be produced hehe. Who would like to watch this? The timing would be wrong. Also, a fight vs. Nate Diaz and win might also not save Conor from his situation. He can short cut out of the situation by fighting Justin Gaethje and win, however hehehe.
4472  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeFi hacks [history] on: February 05, 2021, 03:46:47 AM
@zasad@. Another the first Defi hack of the year for you to tally for 2021 hehehe. You have to assume that the development teams have fixed all the bugs from their systems. However, no. The hackings continue.



Yearn developer banteg, one of the administrators of the DeFi project's website, followed with a few more details: "Yearn DAI v1 vault got exploited, the attacker got away with $2.8m, the vault lost $11m. Deposits into strategies disabled for v1 DAI, TUSD, USDC, USDT vaults while we investigate."

@VintageBazaar. Your suspicions might be very far away from the truth. This might be regulatory pressure by the government. I speculate exchanges that have not yet asked for KYC will begin acting similar to Bittrex because those exchanges have been used liberally for money laundering. Bittrex might only be cleaning their exchange from accounts suspected used for money laundering. There will be innocent accounts locked as casualties of this, however.
4474  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2021-01-27 Coindesk - BIS Chief Blasts Bitcoin’s Viability on: February 05, 2021, 02:17:02 AM
This part was particularly rich:
Quote
“So, clearly, if digital money is to exist, the central bank must play a pivotal role, guaranteeing the stability of value, ensuring the elasticity of the aggregate supply of such money, and overseeing the overall security of the system,” he said.

In other words, it hasn't really improved from the current situation of fiat. It has just gone digital. The corrupt central bank's role is still there, and theirs is the power over value, theirs is the power over supply, theirs is the power over security which could be translated to control, and so on.

However, whether we like it or not, it will be the central bank-issued digital fiat which will reach mainstream adoption quickly, even overnight. It has the backing of the law so there's not much the masses can do really.

They also have the infrastructure and the masses’ minds captured on the answer of what is currency?

The way how the institutions and money services similar to Paypal are treating bitcoin like a new Tulip mania 2.0 is also not helping bitcoin’s cause as a currency.
4475  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex - source of funds on: February 04, 2021, 02:53:10 AM
It appears that it has begun already. I speculate that Bittrex is moving in advance and preparing itself to avoid regulatory problems. I reckon next requirement from you would be your assets information and annual income. If you do not meet a certain level of income, they might limit your account.

This might become the standard requirement for all exchanges.
4476  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cryptospace services news and updates on: February 04, 2021, 01:21:44 AM
This is certainly bullish for Paypal. However, I also predict a bullish jump in Gambler’s Anonymous registrations and attendance. Paypal has turned their users into cryptocoin gamblers hehehe.



Customers who purchased crypto through the platform have been logging into PayPal twice as much as they were before buying crypto, the company said in its investor update.

@lixer. It was Michael Burry who made the pump began, however. He told Gamestop’s board of directors to buy back $300 million in GME stock and the company did this. This gave the stock a bullish signal.

Also, you should include the sources of my post.

@mindrust. I also presented that idea. It is very possible that exchanges are given USDT as loans to be paid later. This also implies that what is presently backing the cryptospace market is debt.
4479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: February 03, 2021, 06:05:59 AM
Nobody is buying Proper 12 whisky because they think it's better than all the rest; they're buying it because it's Connor's and the stock in that brand will decrease drastically if he walks away.

Nobody buys Proper 12 because it cost a lot. This blend cost as much as decent single malt, which quality is way greater than Proper 12. Proper 12 is like Jack Daniels, but cost 20-30% more. I like how our local retailers increase Proper 12 price every time Conor fight, and add a discount  Grin

But thanks to Conor, now everyone tried to produce something. Dana White - Howlers head, Poirier - sous for example, Khabib - mobile carrier "Eagle Mobile".

Also there is Jorge Masvidal's tequila and according to a news item last year, Jon Jones had an open bottle of this on the seat of his car when he was caught drunk driving again hehehe.

In any case, I predict Dana's next storyboards might be Conor vs. Nate in the welterweight division. Michael Chandler vs. Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier vs. Charles Oliviera.

@ChiBitCTy. Everyone will be betting on the Buccaneers because it is Tom Brady. Everyone will also bet on Tom Brady as superbowl MVP because yes, it is Tom Brady hehehehe. However, if they win, I reckon it would be because of their defense similar to what they did to Greenbay. Shaquil Barret is a good candidate for this.
