There are many expectations, but I hope it will reach the final ATH price so that it can advance to even higher prices. but of course it won't immediately go up high, there will be price fluctuations, there will be corrections needed because that's normal. I bought at the beginning and held until now until the halving occurs and can reach a new ATH. that's what I really hoped for when the halving had happened.
Of course, that's the end goal, I mean halving period is the catalyst for a bull run. However, we shouldn't expect that the price will suddenly goes on a parabolic rise after the halving period. There will still be period of adjustments and we might hear negative or positive news that will affect the mindset of investors. It might take months before we finally say that we are in the bull run already. So exciting news, but we really need to calm ourselves and the best way is to just observed where the market is going, if after the halving, in several weeks there's no movement, then buy and HODL and continue to take advantage of that temporary lull before the bull run takes over. |

We never know what could happen in this fight, but we shouldn't expect a lot since it's just an exhibition fight while the fight of Ngannou against francis was a profesionnal fight although it wasn't a title fight. This fight happened to make fans happy, and both fighters had already promised to receive a decent amount of paycheck after the fight because promoters knows they can easily sell this. Who wouldn't fight Pacman and Buakaw right? Although we know that Pacman has the upper hand, but we are still curious what Buakaw could do against a hall of famer that are still active in maintaining his shape.
I like this fight better than the Mayweather - Gotti fight because that's a total mismatch and not worth watching, while this one is a battle of two legends even though its an exhibition fight they can showcase their skills on the sports they have excelled that made them legends. Obviously Pacquiao has an edge here since this is a boxing match where Pacquiao is well skilled on this combat, but Buakaw being a legend in his own sports can matchup Pacquiao's power and speed of course minus the kicks, elbows and knees. I have seen how good is Buakaw he is fast but since he is restricted he will have to rely on his punching power but he needs to move a lot as Pacquiao is good at delivering his punches. The Mayweather-Gotti fight was a disgraced for boxing, it's not about how it is mismatch, but how the fight turns into like a melee and everyone jumps on the ring and try to fight. And I don't think that this will happen in Pacquaio vs Buakaw as this two are legends in their respective sports and so will not act like a gangster inside the ring. Pacquiao even at this age I believed is still very quick and fast and still has the power as for me, that is God given talent. In any case, they will sure be showing here in their best shape of their life. And both can sell this fights, put fans in the seats or even in PPV just to see this two legends in the ring. |

Hey everyone,
Ever wondered how Bitcoin is throwing a global party in the world of remittances? this digital disruptor is having on the traditional money transfer scene,just a chat about how Bitcoin is playing the international money game differently. Whether you're sending crypto across borders or just curious about the buzz, let's share our thoughts on the real-world impact it's not just changing currencies; it's changing lives. Anyone else experiencing the joys of Bitcoin remittances?
Cheers to the crypto curious,
Of course it's borderless, you can used it to transfer to anyone in the world, no middle man in between, as compare to banks that might take days to be received, although one issue right now is that the tx fees are going up and so maybe those who are sending are looking for other options like stable coins or some altcoins. So for Bitcoin, this is a challenge that we have to face not just for remittances and cross border payments. But hopefully everything will be back to normal, (cost right now is about 26 sat/vB or $1.45) As per this report: The global average cost of sending $200 remained high at 6.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020, more than double the Sustainable Development Goal target of 3 percent. Average remittance costs were the lowest in South Asia (4.9 percent), while Sub-Saharan Africa continued to have the highest average cost (8.2 percent). Supporting the remittance infrastructure and keeping remittances flowing includes efforts to lower fees.

this is not a casino - this is a lottery
users pay with a credit card, but not with cryptocurrency, that's why we're interested
So if you are not accepting crypto, then obviously there will be no interested as this is a crypto based community. In any case though, we haven't heard about your lottery and those who gamble on that kind of games might be looking for a site that has more reputation, sorry to burst the bubble to you. Specially with a payment system like credit card, we will have to give you our personal information and for sure majority of us here are not comfortable specially from a unknown platform like you. |

There was another buzz when Alalshikh showed no interest in carrying YouTubers into the kingdom any longer. This is sad news for the fans of Jake Paul and other YouTubers who like to box.
I don't think boxing fans will also be happy seeing Paul getting his fight in the kingdom as this is just exhibition fights. And it's obvious that Alalshikh is a big fan of boxing, the way he shoulder everything and allowing big fights going into Saudi as they have a lot of money. For Rolly Romero, he was just gifted with that belt, and so we can say that he could be one boxer that is very lucky to get a championship when he should have lost that fight. For Ryan, it seems that GBP wanted him to be tested against former champion Jose Ramirez. But not sure if Ryan is interested though and everyone is leaving as to who Ryan wanted to fight. And so this is another tug of war between him and Oscar and it might turn out ugly again. The crowd and authorities in Saudi Arabia likely saw the distinction between boxers and YouTubers. They are happy with the professional boxing matches and they no longer need the YouTubers in the kingdom. Yes, most likely the Saudi Arabian authorities is really a big fan of boxing and Heavyweight fights in general. And might not have heard of this youtubers. But overall, it's good to the sports and Jake can still fight in the US still and make some money. Rolly Romero was safeguarded by the ref to get the championship belt. I see no reason why Ryan Garcia and Oscar De La Hoya dumped Rolly Romero. Rolly Romero is a champion and is a simpler match than Jose Ramirez. Jose Ramirez even though I have not seen him in a while and is no longer a champion, this boxer is better and is above the level of Rolly Romero. This match is dangerous for Ryan Garcia, but I respect him for accepting to battle Jose Ramirez.
It's probably that Rolly Romero is with the other camp and it might take sometime for them to negotiate. So instead, after signing Jose Ramirez, they wanted to milk him and give Ryan Garcia. Ryan might not like it though, as he said that he is not interest to fight Ramirez. It might be a problem for Golden Boy, but lets see how Oscar will diffuse the tension here as we have noted that they don't have good relationship already and Ryan putting more fire as lately he is trying to get close to Floyd. |

Not surprise seeing that 77.8% of the users voted for that. Well, it will likely happen as Kambosos are not good in playing defense, so he needs to have a solid chin to surive this fight even if he lose.
He is not good at the defense he is offensive and Loma can easily see flaws in an offensive fighter all his fights he has been a defensive fighter he has excellent footwork and is an intelligent fighter, he can adapt to any boxer's style that makes him an extraordinary fighter, he makes great fighter ordinary. The Haney is a lesson learned for Loma I'm sure he learned a lot here and will box differently by being too technical, Kambosos has problem with technical boxers. Yes, Kambosos doesn't play the defense game, and just like most of the Australians, like Moloneys and Tsyzu, they are all offensive minded boxers. And sometimes it gets the best out of them, like Kambosos putting a great upset against Teo Lopez that time. But in this fight, I think even at Loma's age, he can still pull that trigger and go toe to toe with Kambosos and uses his experience and boxing IQ more. Loma though might start slow again just like against Haney and then come on strong in the second half and see the fight extended again to 12 full rounds or Kambosos getting caught by Loma with his volume punches and stop him later in the rounds. |

So Nery needs to be very careful here, he might think that his power could be enough, but Inoue shows that he has a iron chin too. And Inoue also developed his counter punching already, similar to a pull back then straight right of Mayweather. But Inoue has more power.
Nery does have a good KO rate but Inoue is just exceptional. He better think that he is up against an extraordinary powerful fighter so he would be reckless when in the ring. It's a big success for him if he could finally deal Inoue his first lose, but it's easier than said, you know. and Nery is not that invincible he was first exposed by figueroa the guy cannot take a punch and figueroa is not even a hard puncher, all Inoue has to do is to aim the body because Nery has weakness in his body as shown in his match against Figueroa. I don't see it that way. The toughest? These two boxers you've mentioned didn't even hurt Inoue, they were champions but they are just playing solid defense without an offense, but still it resulted to a KO win by Inoue. The toughest was against Donaire, during the first meeting, Inoue got hurt but he was smart to make an adjustment and manage to win the fight. Perhaps prior to the fight, everyone thought that they will have a good chance against Inoue. So in paper, Fulton as a 2 belt champion is touted to be a boxer that might beat Inoue's style. And then Tapales too, he said before the fight that he is really on what Inoue will give to him. But the fight was not even close. Maybe it's just way to sell the fight but for bettors, Inoue is really very hard to beat. And even if Nery has a good knockout percentage, Inoue is very hard to hit to even score a knockout against him as Inoue has a good defense too and his chin has never been really crack by anyone. |

This casino is relatively new here in the forum so this is the danger of playing on new casino while you have an experience of being in disadvantage for winning to often on other casino.
Normal action of trusted casino on user like you is just being limited or not able to join promotion but this is not a standard protocol especially to new casino that is not yet established. You will never have a chance to fight them if they decided to just leave here like coinplay did before.
Coins.game is a relatively new casino, but I think we can say they had a good start and Denis was very active here. So I am not sure why they decided to just confiscate user funds without any explanations. I don't count Denis's short answer in the scam accusation thread as an explanation, it's even rude to call someone a cheater without any arguments and proof. I hope they won't give up on the forum, I think this is not a lot of money for the casino to jeopardize their reputation here and on casino review sites. As I said, the start was nice, it would be foolish to ruin all that. I do agree, and I think by now they should understand how big this community is, I mean we have been part of them before and we like what we are seeing to the point that we think they could really turn big in the next couple of years assuming with all the competition here. Hopefully they will come into their senses and not ruin their reputation here with that just one accusations against them. So hopefully, everything will be positive on both sides or at least a mediation can be done so save their trust and reputation. |

The battle of the underrated champion. Parker came from a big win but I'm gonna bet on Zhang as I believe he had proven himself to be a strong opponent by beating Joyce twice which he was a heavy underdog on the first meeting. Parker's win against Wilder is also huge but I think Wilder is not anymore on his prime or he was mentally affected with his lose to Fury which he cannot be as confident as he was when he's still undefeated. It's a chess match, but both have power so I think it will not end in 12 rounds. Maybe maximum rounds based on my prediction is 10 rounds, and it's favor of Zhang as I've mentioned. Actually Parker has more fights as per boxrec, and he is younger, looking at that he got the edge but bookies listed him as underdog. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/613846https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/692149We all know why Zhang is the favorite here (has knockout power), but Parker is no stranger to being a underdog as well. He have shown that with careful preparation and mental toughness he can overcome one of heavy handed boxer we have in the Heavyweight division as he upset Wilder. So this is going to be another great test for Parker on how he can flip the switch again. Not taking anything though from him, but I think Wilder is shot already and that Fury has taken out the best out of him. So this fight might be difficult to him, as we all have agree that Zhang power can KO anyone, including Parker. The odds are fair, but I guess for those who are fans or Parker, obviously they love that kind of odds for him as a underdog. Voted already. |

Great to know that my country is not restricted and at that it will be an awesome time for me to test this casino, in the coming days.
But just so I can know, why are you having so much restricted countries in you casino, because having souch countries not being able to access your casino is something that doesn't make sense toe since it will slow down your traffics at some point.
I think if it issue's that can be resolved and restrictions lifted I wil advice you do so if you want to build a strong company for yourself that can withstand any forces in the future.
As far as I know (from the discussion with JC rep), the restriction is based on their casino license type. They are working on developing a product which the community wants. I believe they will work on more changes in the coming days. That's what they have told me earlier. It make sense, as their licenses is Curacao based. But it's good to see them building them slowly. Perhaps I'm lucky that the country that I lived in is not on the restricted countries. And I agree, that if they wanted to reach our more players, they will have to implemented changes in the future. |

My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.
She complained bitterly and pitifully because she struggled to safe such amount of money.
Now, the mum is calling on everyone she could to intervene, discipline the child and force him to provide the money in any means he can without the concern of how he could refund the money.
Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?
if I'm not mistaken, we have this kind of thread before. Anyhow, as a parent it's instinct is to really discipline their child right? Specially we all know that stealing is generally not accepted in any society. And so the burden is really on the parents and maybe we can say that they are part of the problem if the child turns out to be a thieve and really give a parent a hard time. But regarding the question it's a going to be a dilemma to the parent, but for me, he should be discipline by his mom, period, if he accepts that winning money, it's like giving him permission to gamble and that it is allowed in the household. Maybe right now they have money, but what if the kid gamble it all along and in worst case scenario, losses everything and started to stole money again? If not from his mom, he could do it to other people and the consequences will be very bad for the boy and his mom. |

Casimero will just shut down by Inoue when this happened. Inoue is not a joke anymore while his skills is downgrade significantly base on both recent fight. I’m not sure anymore how he can beat Inoue when this match happened.
Still not impressive for me, Inoue's biggest fight was with Donaire and if you watch it closely either of them could have won that fight if their punches are going in. I've never seen bloody Inoue after his succeeding fights. I can't compare Inoue to some of the fearless fighter I've known, coz upon checking he didn't beat any known fighters! This will still be a hype if Casimero last fight resulted in a convincing manner. He might suffer the same fate of Tapales if he is still living in a dream that he is the only one who can stop Inoue.
Casimero want him, and if you look at the titles, Inoue can steal Casimero's belt but why don't he fight Casimero? You are referring to the Donaire first fight? Yeah, Nonito almost beat Inoue that time and put a serious damage on his, broke his orbital bone, but in the end, the judges awarded the fight to Inoue 117–109, 116–111, and 114–113 and won the WBSS trophy. But after that fight, Inoue really improved and in the rematch, Donaire was no match for him, maybe Inoue really aged already. Then he beat Butler, take the last of the bantamweight belt, WBO, and unified it. Then bet the best super bantamweight in Fulton and Tapales. I think that is impressive enough for Inoue to be given the Boxer of the year by Ring magazine. On the other hand, Casimero also moved up to super bantamweight because he can't no longer make the weight at bantamweight. Debut at 122 lbs, fight Oguni, that ended in a disappointing technical draw (later reversed). He then fought Filipus Nghitumbwa in Manila for the so called World Boxing Organization (WBO) global super bantamweight and won by UD and it was not impressive. |

In the last quarter of 2023, BTC enjoyed significant gains and analysts projected 2024 as another bull year due to ranging factors of which Bitcoin halving and approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF are most significant.
Blackrock announcement about the approval of the spot ETF over the weekend could be the catalyst that have triggered the market in the first day of year 2024 with BTC and global marketcap up by 6% respectively and currently trading above the $45k mark.
While many are anticipating bullrun to kickstart after the Bitcoin halving, I have a feeling there could be a twist to this year's bull run as it may not completely depend on the factors listed above. It's also important to note that the US interest rate is on a decline which is a good thing that could drive investors to opt for crypto. What do you think, let's discuss.
That feelings may have to wait for a while unless if the Bitcoin ETF happens sooner than expected, then we can have a bll market before the bitcoin halven, but anything outside that, it won't fly at all so we shouldn't expect too much from the market before march-april which is already around the corner. Many of the time, we have expected Bitcoin all time high pre to halven, which have happen before but on an accidental basis, because since the first record of ATH before halven, it haven occurs again and all other previous all-time highs have been after halves Just going back to this thread, the ETF has been approved, and we have seen like $600 million flowing on the first day and it shook the market, pushing as high as $49,000. But now the market is calm already from all the ETF hype, we've seen minor dips to $40,000k'ish but it went back in the last 24 hours to $42,000. What I'm saying is that just because of the approval of ETF, we should expect something big to happen right away. That is not the case, the real catalyst for the market is the block halving that is going to happen in April and not this ETF approvals. It could be a factor though, but the effect is not going to be felt right away by the ecosystem and maybe there are still some entities taking advantage of that big push and sell. |

And just like what I post before, getting a license is very cheap and it's no way a good measurement if the casino are not going to scam us. Perhaps we gamblers take it just as a face value as it become a so called norm to have licenses and then show it to everyone, look we are legit, go play with us as Curacao has given us licenses.
LOL, and then gamblers fall for it, and then later realized that it was a scam site, bitch around the community that they have been scammed by thousands of dollars. And I don't see any benefits as well for online platforms for getting it, they are just being milk by Curacao to go and apply for licenses that no gamblers are going to look at.

 Many are still enraged with how the undercard are put up for this fight. I think everyone here as well can't believed that a wash up fighter is there for the biggest fight in this division. To the point that they are saying that this is the worst undercard ever, ouch. |

So two things came to my mind:
1. the result was rigged and they might just pick random people to win, but it's all just front for them
They cannot just pick random guys and proclaim to be the winner of millions what if out of conscience the guy speaks out, and also the agency can be bribed even if they pay the guy millions he can still ask more in exchange for his silence, or the guy is a kiss and tell guy, like telling this to his friends when he is drunk and the friend create a revelation on social media that could be chaos. Well if money talks then maybe they can pay this guy to be quiet? We know that everyone can do anything in terms of money now, so it's possible that they can do it or even worst. Remember what happen to the Philippines as well with those e-sabong? there are a lot of individuals who disappear or maybe killed. 2. there is a real winner, but the way they hide the faces looks very suspicious
It looks that way, they just hired a guy who has poor editing skills or if they come out with an edited picture they better tell it straight to the public for transparency it's hard when the public finds out, they will have suspicion and this can put the agency's reputation in peril. Exactly, maybe they are in a hurry, or they think that Filipinos will not recognized that something is odd on that picture. And yet they released it to the public and it was obviously a wrong move in their part. But I doubt that the heads are going to roll on this one. Although it has been investigated, perhaps they will just shuffle the position of those who are involved here, IMHO. |

Kovalev is 40 years old and beyond shot. He was already considered washed up when he was cherry-picked by Canelo, and that was many years ago. With all the legal problems he has had it doesn't surprise me that he is now desperate for a paycheck. I was considering buying the PPV but if it's going to be $80, it kind of feels like a ripoff even if the main event is a historic heavyweight fight. Yes, most likely Kovalev is just looking for a his last pay check here and he was just lucky that he was still given a fight in the undercard here. But then the PPV though, yeah I believed its going to be $80 as this is the biggest fight in Heavyweight. But the undercard is really disappointed, however, as @hilariousetc said, the Saudi doesn't care about making money here, all this wealthy person wanted to see the best of the best in Usyk and Fury. If they are going to lose money, it's fine with them and it's good to the sports of boxing as I have said. At least everyone is happy as they are making money and hopefully we can see fights more often, undisputed or just two great boxers, specially in the lower weight class and not just for the HW division. |

Imagine that there is such a rehabilitation clinic for people who are addicted to gambling. Now imagine what they treat there without the use of pharmacology.
The main doctors there are gambling specialists, whose task is to convince you that you do not need to gamble. Your task, for example, is to prove that the patient most likely has a disordered game. In order to have long-term income, you need to have a gaming system. And not just a system, but a fairly innovative system of forecasting and risk management. Most likely the patient does not have it and never had it; otherwise he would have been successful and would not have ended up in rehab.
It is also necessary to find something for the patient to do instead of playing, so that he can occupy himself.
Now imagine that this gambling expert is you. What arguments will you give? What will you tell the patient about?
Please note that the patient will resist to the last. He will give counterarguments. For example, that he will get rich in the future, he’s just not lucky yet.
What other arguments do you think the patient will give? How do you respond to these arguments of his?
Aren't gambling rehabs already present ? I'm sure it must be there but are not very famous. Besides that, there are general rehabs which are present which helps us stay away from any addictions that we have. If I were a doctor then I would rather make the patient focus on sports related activities to keep them away from gambling. This way they would stay away from gambling while staying fit. It could be part of the program itself, teaching recovering gambling addicts and focus on sports activities. I also read that some doctors took holistic approach of it as we all know that there are inner demons from their patients. So they can teach yoga, meditation to improve control of one self so that they can promote overall well being. So it's very difficult to really recover, your family as well could be involved and they are the biggest factors that can really help someone. Or even a support group will help as everyone is one the same dilemma. And so they can share their experiences and for sure it will really help each one of them recover faster. Follow up as well is needed, so that they will not go and fall on mental lapses and be addicted again. |

Does this doubt come from those who have not yet won? I do understand how people feel about this. Indeed, that problem exists, but for a system full of greed, they can still operate without any hesitation. But I also know people who win a lot of money, and not everyone wants to hide their identity. But in some local cases that I know of, they are all low-income people and luckily, it came to them, the amount of money was too large to help them change their lives (usually worth over $5 million). So I don't want to equate all cases, because no matter what countries there are, there will be good/bad people, so whoever wants to doubt should continue to doubt. Whoever wants to trust should continue to believe.
No, I think everyone has doubts that's why it was raised, and with the social media age, it will definitely get a audience that now the Philippine Senate is involved already and trying to uncover if there is really some "magic" behind curtains and as to who is the real winner from their lottery because the picture itself is obviously doctored and photoshopped. So two things came into my mind: 1. the result was rigged and they might just pick random people to win, but it's all just front for them 2. there is a real winner, but the way they hide the faces looks very suspicious |

Hello everyone, I'm new to cryptocurrency and I was able to earn 8,000$ in btc, and I keep all the money on binance, but I heard that binance blocks accounts. Please advise me of a reliable crypto wallet to store this money, who can recommend a really good wallet, I can transfer you 200$. Please write to my telegram @leaneek
Well you can separate it to Electrum for your daily trading activities, and then Hardware wallet for long term storage. That is a huge money to begin with, might be better if you really take it out from exchange. Even if it is Binance, they can still confiscate your Bitcoin, as what we say here, "not your keys', not your coins". For hardware wallets, there are 2 best options. https://trezor.io/https://www.ledger.com/Electrum can be download here: https://electrum.org/#download |
