4761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Tyron Woodley vs. Kamaru Usman booked for UFC 235 on: January 07, 2019, 07:26:32 PM
https://www.mmafighting.com/2019/1/7/18170823/tyron-woodley-vs-kamaru-usman-booked-for-ufc-235



If Tyron Woodley wants to continue his reign at 170 pounds, he’s going to have to do something no one has managed to do yet.

Beat Kamaru Usman inside the Octagon.

MMA Fighting’s Chuck Mindenhall and Shaun Al-Shatti confirmed with sources that Woodley and Usman will meet in a bout for Woodley’s welterweight championship belt at UFC 235 on March 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. ESPN was first to report the news.

The matchup materialized in the wake of months of speculation that Woodley would face former training partner and hated rival Colby Covington, but despite plenty of back-and-forth chatter between the two that pairing has fizzled for now. Instead, it will be Usman who gets the opportunity to unseat Woodley. Usman and Woodley have had their fair share of heat, taking shots at each other on social media.

UFC president Dana White also stated after Usman’s most recent win over Rafael dos Anjos that he was in favor of seeing Woodley defend against Usman.

In his last seven fights, Woodley has recorded six wins and one draw. He defeated Robbie Lawler by first-round KO at UFC 201 back in July 2016 to capture the welterweight title and twice fended off Stephen Thompson (via majority draw at UFC 205 and then majority decision at UFC 209) before dispatching his past two challengers, Darren Till and Demian Maia.

This will be Woodley’s fifth scheduled championship defense. He is 9-2-1 in the UFC and 19-3-1 overall as a pro.

Usman (14-1) holds an unblemished UFC mark with nine wins since making his debut with a win in the finals of The Ultimate Fighter 21. Overall, he has won 13 straight fights, most recently picking up notable five-round unanimous decision nods over dos Anjos and Maia.

I will be taking the Champ at those odds.

Broner is upset that he is such a big underdog in this match and also mad that people are already discussing what will happen if/when Pac defeats him.
When asked about a Pacquaio vs Mayweather rematch, he becomes irritated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=YoKoAg3fN-Y
I'm not sure it's much of a mind game from team Pacquaio but they really feel they picked the correct opponent to defend his paper belt against.
With current odds of Pacquaio better then 2.5-1, I will layoff this for now.
4765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bloomberg: Japan Gauges Interest in Bitcoin ETF as Pundits Talk Down US Approval on: January 07, 2019, 07:00:39 PM
Exciting time to be alive-

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bloomberg-japan-gauges-interest-in-bitcoin-etf-as-pundits-talk-down-us-approval-rumors



Citing a person familiar with the matter, the publication reports that the Financial Services Agency (FSA) is testing interest in an ETF with a view to potentially giving the instrument the green light to trade on domestic markets.

The move would place Japan in direct contrast to the United States, where regulators are risk-averse on ETFs but permit physical Bitcoin futures trading, something the FSA has rejected.

This, Bloomberg notes, came due to the Japanese regulator “concluding that such products would achieve little besides stoke speculation.”

Appetites for an ETF worldwide remain mixed. While some cryptocurrency advocates argue their acceptance would help Bitcoin’s image and popularity, others from within the industry claim the increased speculation and lack of physical Bitcoin ownership involved would have a detrimental effect.

Discussing the U.S. stance on ETFs, securities lawyer Jake Chervinsky stood firm on his opinion that lawmakers were unlikely to change tack anytime soon.

Speculation had arisen that the ongoing government shutdown in Washington could see the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) give an ETF automatic approval.

“It's true that a proposed rule change is auto-approved if the SEC doesn't make a decision by the deadline, but in reality it would never happen,” he wrote Saturday, clarifying:

    “The SEC has enough staff to put out a decision, even if it's a one-pager saying ‘denied for reasons to be explained later.’”

Intercontinental Exchange’s Bakkt platform is still slated to begin offering Bitcoin futures on the U.S. market later this month, a move which Nasdaq has said it will copy in 2019.

Not according to Estonian governor, Ardo Hansson-

https://www.chepicap.com/en/news/6439/-bitcoin-will-die-as-a-complete-load-of-nonsense-says-ardo-hansson.html

The Estonian governor Ardo Hansson, who is a member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank and therefor participates in formulating monetary policy for the euro area, said at a conference in Latvia, that cryptocurrencies will probably die as a complete load of nonsense.

According to the American media company Bloomberg, the European Central Bank policy maker Ardo Hansson said that the cryptocurrency bubble already was well on its way to a full collapse.

'Maybe we should just see how far this collapse goes, and what is left when we’ve reached a new kind of equilibrium', the Harvard graduate said.

'I think we will come back a few years from now and say how could we ever have gotten into this situation where we believed this kind of a fairy-tale story.'

Hansson isn't the first high profile government official who expresses his concerns that cryptocurrencies can be used for illegal activities and that financial instability issues may occur if links between virtual assets and the regulated financial sector are starting to increase, and he won't be the last.

However, his opinions seem uninspired and are nothing cryptocurrency investors haven't heard before.

Perhaps, in 2019, we can take these kind of non-constructive opinions for what they actually are, which is clearly FUD.

As analyst and crypto investor, Joseph Young pointed out to his almost 95K twitter followers: 'Less than two weeks into 2019 and already seeing "Bitcoin will die" statements from high profile government officials.'

Crypto and stocks are all relevant, as far as pricing is concerned.
You'll notice that the stock market is down an all time high- is it really any surprise to you that the crypto market follows?

If you do not own a Ledger, then you are not fully protecting your coins.
The biggest difference between a USB stick and a dedicated (hardware wallet) is that your private keys are never exposed, therefore spyware can never touch it.
If you lose the device, you can always recover the keys using the backup seed.
I have owned both a Ledger and Trezor and with the newest version of the Ledger being just released, I think it's still a safer bet.

When "buying the dip" doesn't always work-

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/19/this-chart-is-proof-buy-the-dip-is-dead.html

-"Buy the dip," isn't working for the first time in 16 years, according to analysis from Morgan Stanley.
-"Such market behavior is rare and in the past has coincided with official bear markets (20 percent declines), recessions, or both," says Morgan Stanley equity strategist Michael Wilson.
-Wilson says investors should use "patience rather than haste" and "consider selling rallies rather than buying dips."

"Buy the dip," or picking up a stock or the whole market when they sell off, isn't working for the first time in 16 years, according to analysis from Morgan Stanley. The investment bank looked at the average return for the S&P 500 if the previous week was negative and found that this year, there was no rebound.

"Buying the dip has not worked in 2018 for the first time since 2002," Morgan Stanley equity strategist Michael Wilson said in a note to clients Monday. "Such market behavior is rare and in the past has coincided with official bear markets (20 percent declines), recessions, or both."

I can’t even begin to imagine how many times I have though to myself this very exact same thing!
Fact of the matter remains the same from Day 1 that cryptocurrency is not intended to be an overnight success.  
Sure- there are people who made a lot of profit by being early adopters and miners but if you find yourself becoming this frustrated, then it might just honestly be a good time to either take a break or remove yourself from this environment entirely.  We hear very disturbing stories at times about poor decisions people have made in the past.  

If you are feeling at all these types of ways, stay away from cryptocurrency for a while.  
If for any reason- for your own good health.

Bull rally’s biggest gainers: Litecoin [LTC] hikes 9%

https://ambcrypto.com/bull-rallys-biggest-gainers-litecoin-ltc-hikes-9-as-bitcoin-btc-and-stellar-xlm-register-6-growth/


The cryptocurrency market has been pumping since Sunday, with all major coins seeing significant growth. At the time of press, the top three gainers of the market were Litecoin [LTC], Bitcoin BTC, and Stellar [XLM], registering over 6 percent growth.

Litecoin, which was resting on the seventh position since a few days, climbed one step up and has now acquired the sixth place. At the time of press, LTC was valued at $38.87, with a market cap of $2.3 billion. The coin registered a 24-hour trade volume of $791 million as it grew by 9.25% over the past day. The coin has recorded an overall growth of 23.60 % over a week and is seen growing gradually by 0.46% over the past hour.

The coin was highly traded on OKEx, which registered a maximum volume of $73 million on the LTC/BTC pair. OKEx also traded highly on the LTC/USDT pair as it marked a trading volume of $62 million. The third place was taken by ZB.COM, which registered a trading volume of $60 million on the LTC/USDT pair.



4776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Leading crypto wallet adds Bluetooth support for mobile bitcoin access on: January 07, 2019, 08:01:28 AM
https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/6/18171346/ledger-nano-x-bluetooth-crypto-hardware-wallet-ces-2019

The Ledger Nano X will be accessible through the Ledger Live mobile app

On Sunday at CES, the crypto wallet company Ledger revealed its latest device — the Bluetooth-enabled Ledger Nano X. The device is roughly similar to the previous Nano S, offering more support for multiple wallets and coin types but leaving internals otherwise the same. But Bluetooth will allow the X to connect to mobile devices through the new Ledger Live app, a powerful new way to access hardware wallets through your phone.

Hardware wallets let you hold bitcoin locally without keeping them in an exchange, a more flexible version of simply writing down your key on a piece of paper. The devices typically require a PIN to unlock and support multiple physical devices tied to the same key, providing strong protection against theft or accidental loss. Ledger’s previous hardware wallet, the Nano S, was a favorite among many in the community. Ledger CEO Eric Larchevêque has said the Nano S will fall in price after the Nano X is released.

Adding Bluetooth may be controversial. Wallets typically connect over USB, and any wireless capability raises the risk of unauthorized access. Still, the hardware-level PIN protections (and Bluetooth’s limited range) should mitigate the risk. Crucially, Ledger says the Nano X is designed to only respond to devices running the corresponding Ledger app, which has its own security features to preserve authenticity.

The Nano X costs $119 and will be available for pre-order tomorrow, to ship in March. The corresponding app is expected to go live on January 28th in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

If you're a business owner or want to start a business, then social media can be a prayer sent:

-It’s free to use (even if it can be time-consuming)
-It helps shape the personality of a brand
-It’s the future (and the present)
-You can participate in two-way conversations
-Brand advocacy grows increasingly powerful
-It’s the softest conversion point you have
-You can get a search ranking and SEO boost
-It will become a stable source of traffic (if you get it right)

With a little bit of creativity and some luck, Social media can be used to your advantage and to earn profit
