@zasad@. I very much disagree that CZ and Binance can easily be declared as terrorists and can also easily be proven in court. That is a very head shaking argument.

In any case, if it was easy and if sentenced in court as terrorists, this would certainly create a very dangerous precedent on who else will easily be proven as terrorists in court. Everyone can and will easily a terrorist including car companies, mobile phone companies, banks and many other companies' products and service that were used by terrorists and drug cartels would be under investigation.

Mauricio Sulaiman is from the WBC. In any case, it appears that Sulaiman is listening to the fans and he wants to give us what we have always wished to witness for Canelo's next opponent. I have also seen a locked thread about the PBC offering Canelo $55 million if he signs the deal. This will certainly show that Canelo is avoiding king David Benavidez if he rejects this hehehehe.

On Caenlo fans who want to defend him for this. This is boxing where the best fighters should fight each other. This should not be something similar to the Miss Universe.

Similar to any online money processor, it would be quite naive to expect that it will stay no KYC forever. Does everyone expect the government would allow criminals to send and receive money freely without imposing anti money laundering laws? This would certainly be head shaking if they left Localbitcoins alone hehehee. This is not the fault of anything or anyone. This is reality.

Yes but Christopher Nolan is also one of the producers of Oppenheimer. However, this is my big prediction for the 2025 Oscar awards for best picture and the best director categories. It will be one of the movies that will win both categories. The title of this move you know already heehhe. It is Dune 2 for best picture and Denis Villenueve for best director.

This Frenchman created some of my favorite movies with the best cinematography. Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune 1. Everyone should certainly watch them. He also directed good mystery and crime thrillers.

@zasad@. I might agree that Tether can be taken down similar to the occurrence on how BUSD was taken down, however, I cannot agree on Circle. Circle is licensed in America and their headquarters are in Boston, Massachusetts. They are also backed by influencial institutional investors that would make Circle's success a certainty. They will lobby, bribe, do anything that they are capable to become the government's first choice stablecoin provider.

Also, the use of USDC does not make Circle a terrorist organization. Why do you argue about this? If a bank robber used a certain car to rob a bank, does this make the car company responsible for the bank robber?

I was also confused, however, it appears that the XFL and the USFL has merged and they are calling their new league the UFL which will begin on March 30. Learning about these small leagues might be good to win some money, I reckon hehe. There are NBA bettors who have said that it was easier to win money betting on WNBA.



The XFL and the United States Football League (USFL) will relaunch as the United Football League (UFL) following the merger between the two spring football leagues.

The eight-team competition will kick off its ten-game regular season on 30th March 2024 and be divided into two conferences: USFL and XFL.

The USFL Conference will feature the Birmingham Stallions, Houston Roughnecks, Memphis Showboats, and Michigan Panthers. The XFL Conference will consist of the Arlington Renegades, DC Defenders, San Antonio Brahmas, and St Louis Battlehawks.

Houston was the one overlapping market between the XFL and the USFL and deemed one of the strongest markets for both leagues. As a result, the USFL’s Houston Gamblers have been rebranded as the Houston Roughnecks.

The opening game of the 2024 campaign will see the Stallions face the Renegades, 2023 champions of the USFL and the XFL respectively. Players will report to training camp on 24th February in Arlington, Texas, where the XFL trained last season.

@dansus021. How long have you been in Duelbit's campaign? Betting on movie, music and tv awards has always been there in the betting specials category.

@OgNasty. It is in the politics and entertainment category in stake.com for a long time also. This is also very common for sportsbooks.

I have been creating the thread for the Oscar awards for 5 years, I reckon.

There was also Game of Thrones season and episode outcomes betting in this subforum. It was a very popular thread hehe.

Agreed if the regulations the government creates is truly for the protection of consumers. However, I would argue that the government does not care about the small minnows in the pond. I reckon much of these regulations are created on the direction of the rulers of the country who have funded political campaigns and who have placed the people they control on certain government positions.

Also, maybe in the beginning they will make it appear that they were created to protect the consumers. However, through lobby and bribes they always add new rules and new wordings that would give them more advantage and make the environment less fair for us.

@zasad@. It would certainly be head scratching to call Tether terrorists because they are not terrorists. If the terrorists use American dollars, are the issuers of the dollar terrorists? If the terrorists used a certain brand of cell phone to activate their bombs, is the cell phone company a terrorist?

In any case, what are you implying on Tether's capitalization and being called a terrorist? Is the when the American government waits for a company to reach a certain size before the takedown hehehehe.

I reckon when someone begins to hold much bitcoins where someone starts to win or lose more than an amount of his monthly expenses in every 10% pump or a 10% dump, this might cause someone the question if this is reality or if we are in the matrix hehehehee.

On every pump, it will make the holder dream of retiring early. However, on every dump it will make him thankful on having a real job hehe.

It would not be very head scratching anymore if the next of these stringent rules would be on the normal investors of the cryptospace where their regulators will begin to allow only individuals belonging to a higher income category.

They will declare that this is for the protection of the consumers, however, what they might be doing is they do not want normal people to have the peer to peer charcteristics that these cryptocoins are giving us. They want us to continue using their currency and their middlemen.

I am only speculating that because we have witnessed that there were some years where the best picture winner for the Bafta and the Oscar awards were different then this might be one of those years. Also, because Oppenheimer is for certain win best actor and best director and other awards, I speculate that the voters might have something different for Christopher Nolan. He can win for best director or best picture, however, not the both of these categories heheheh. This year might be another unpredictable like CODA and Green Book.

The fud against Tether is very head shaking and it appears it is becoming very clear who might be responsible and where this is coming from. I speculate that this is coming from the American government and with the help of Tether's biggest competitor Circle hehehe. It would not be shocking if the new mayor of bitcoin is helping also.

Caroline Hill of Circle have made their position very clear when she begged the lawmakers in congress to give the treasury department the authority to crackdown on Tether.


Mayor of Bitcoin

In a February 15 Congressional hearing, Caroline Hill, Senior Director for Global Policy and Regulatory Strategy at Circle, has called on Congress to grant the Treasury Department the authority to go after Tether and its banking partner Cantor Fitzgerald. Hill said that the US Treasury Department should have the authority to take action given “Tether’s reputation” as well as available data that “they are contributing to terrorist financing and other malign activities.”

It will certainly be centralized and this is the risk of a cryptocoin with limited supply. There is also the risk of Coinbase being hacked.

It presently appears that more people in the community are beginning to have questions and also are being skeptical on bitcoin's monetary policy hehehe. The developers of Grin wrote an argument against bitcoin's monetary policy. Everyone should read this.

However, the UFC's partner is Vechain. The Chinese blockchain that partnered with McDonalds hehehee. Does everyone remember this joke on 2017? It was only fud, however, everyone believed this when it was shared in social media by an influencer. The price dumped very quickly and this fell more than -20% and this was immediately pumped back heheeh.

Very much to what has been speculated before by some people in the cryptospace, stablecoin issuers like Circle and Tether will become the governments shepherds to control how much inflows of fiat will he allowed in the cryptospace. This is the beginning.

On the government's mission to crackdown on DeFi, this should certainly be encouraged to cause the developers to create stronger infrastructure that would be more difficult to shut down hehehee. This is also only the beginning. DeFi will win.



Crypto critics often warn of digital currencies' potential to destabilize the U.S. dollar, but Federal Reserve Gov. Christopher Waller argued that stablecoins' dependence on the dollar could actually strengthen the U.S. fiat currency as decentralized finance (DeFi) catches on.

King Ry was using the philly shell tactic because we can be quite certain that he wanted to avoid the Tank Davis Tyson power punch to his jaw hehehe. He might need to use this tactic against Devin Haney, I reckon. According to someone he has fists of pillows. This is very funny.

Also, King Ry changed his trainer. We might witness a new style and use different tactics in the ring. I also wish this fight will be 12 rounds of action and end with a split decision.

Your mission Mr. Nutildah if you choose to accept it is to pretend to be Dick Vermeil and watch all of the games and find the next greatest undrafted player for the NFL. A player very much similar to Kurt Warner.

This is what I might do to know these players heheheh. It would be very boring to watch if we do not know anyone or who to follow. There might also be these players in XFL that were not given a chance in their careers.

@franky1. However, the daisychain has ended already after the bankruptcy of FTX. Many founders have retired or were forced to leave their positions. The only original crypto rulers that are still running their exchanges and operations might be 2 only, Brian Armstrong and everyone's idol the announcer of announcements Justin Sun hehehehe.

In any case, Grayscale sent 4018 bitcoins to Coinbase according to some news articles. This might be the cause of the latest dump or this dump presently might only be the fear of the real dump.

After having the worst performance in the draft and our fantasy league, I cannot wait to play again on the next season hehehe. I will also give XFL a chance. It appears everyone in this thread will watch it? I hope I will like it and the theory of relativity occurs to make the 6 months of waiting feel it was only 1 month.

@DireWolfM14. Can we not use Bitcoin blockchain for lottery next season, it does not like me heheheh. I propose we use the Ethereum blockchain hehe!
