@ralle14. That is a good bet. The 0.5 appears not be needed, however, if the game ends on something similar to a 31-24 scoreline, you would thank yourself for paying for the 0.5.
In any case, Lamar Jackson created an impossible run and got a 1st down after a 31 yard carry. The 49ers fans are boiling hot on this cold night hehehehee.

I did not expect Tapales to weigh lower than Inoue but I guess he will rehydrate more than the Japanese. Both are in excellent condition so we have a fight. My head says Tapales won't finish the full 12 rounds but I am feeling confident that he is preparing for something new and awkward that will make Inoue think about being too aggressive. And Tapales hits harder than Fulton, maybe he can do damage on Inoue if he gets his timing right.
True, Fulton only had 8 KO in his 21 fights that he won, compared to Tapales who have many fights and KO's , so his experience is really something that could potentiallly give Inoue a problem. Tomorrow, we will see a sure firepower of both boxers that are willing to own all the belts, so for me, all the best for Tapales but I'm not betting a lot on him because he's a heavy underdog, I'm okay with small bet so I won't regret in case he'll fail. This is a great fight. Both fighters showed respect to each other. May the best man win. Asian boxers are very respectful, so it's not a surprise. maybe if it's Casimero who's in the face off, that could be different. However, Stephen Fulton's low knockout record does not imply that Marlon Tapales might have a much better performance against Inoue. I reckon if Fulton and Tapales went to fight against in each other in the boxing ring, Fulton would also be given similar odds as the oddsmakers are giving Inoue on Tapales. I predict Tapales might not reach round 7. This fight might finish like how Inoue ended the fight vs. Dasmariñas. |

A Merry Christmas to everyone in this thread!
What is everyone's prediction on the game between the teams that might meet in the superbowl on February? The 49ers vs. the Ravens. I reckon this +6 on the Ravens, which has the best defense after 16 weeks might stop McCaffery, might be an underestimation from the oddsmakers.
I am not arguing that the 49ers are not the best team in the NFL for this season, however, the Ravens might have enough to beat the spread. Also, this game might be considered more important for the Ravens than their game on week 17 against the Dolphins.

@bisdak40. I very much agree. This fight is not something similar to Canelo vs. Bivol where fans can speculate an argument for Bivol to get the victory. On Inoue vs. Tapales, there might certainly be no argument. However, are we underestimating Tapales?
In any case, Naoya Inoue has won by knockout against lefthanded opponents before the fight reached round 5. This might occur again which might make under 6.5 rounds a good bet. There is also round range 4-6 victory for Inoue.

@wheelz1200. On your argument that the Broncos might win because they are fighting for a wildcard position, do you think something similar can used as an argument for the Colts? I might change my mind on them. The Falcons is not a very good team and I only saw now that the Colts need to win their next game to maintain their wildcard postion hehehe.

@cryptomaniac_xxx. The ordinary me speculates that there will be a pump after approval similar to what everyone is speculating. This is expected. However, the skeptical me thinks that we might witness some traders who will sell the news and dump on everyone's faces hehehe. These traders will certainly be the same people who will buy again and pump the market after everyone has panicked hehehehe.

I reckon the people who received fair fund notices should also contact the exchange and confirm if this is a scam or not. I would not trust any email claiming to be from a law office and asking us to give our personal and payment information to them.
Also, @DaveF shared a website. Has anyone done a background check already?

CZ is a bad example of someone who wants to be the face or personality of cryptocurrencies, himself Justin Sun, so I have no problem if they are removed from their positions, and in the end central exchanges are subject to the control of the authorities, and I would be sorry if the Bisq programmers or any DEXs programmers were arrested.
We are not talking about being the face of the cryptospace. CZ, Justin Sun and much of the other founders of the cryptospace are husters and clowns. However, what they are not are real criminals very much similar to these bankers who will receive bailouts from the government using taxpayers' money during a crisis. @Bitcoin_Arena. He is a hustler hehehee. Does being an ambassador for a small country give him diplomatic immunity? |

It appears that the oddsmakers are favoring Brock Purdy and Lamar Jackson as the leading MVP candidates. The odds imply that they have more confidence behind Purdy, however, will there be a chance that the winner of the regular season MVP might be decided in their next game on Monday night football? It might be, I reckon.  |

This is only the beginning. The future of the cryptospace will not be for the community of small minnows like us. It will be again similar to traditional finance where it will be controlled only by our rulers. The hustlers and the clowns of the cryptospace are being replaced by the real criminals. It is headshaking that some people cheered when CZ was forced to quit as Binance CEO. If they can do it to CZ, they can do it to anyone.  Justin Sun might be next to be forced to plead guilty for moneylaunderingThe expanded licence in the US “will empower Prometheum to offer the first blockchain-enabled ecosystem capable of servicing the lifecycle of digital asset trading under the federal securities laws,” Aaron Kaplan, co-CEO of parent company Prometheum Inc., told DL News.
The SPBD licence “includes crypto but extends to any tokenised securities in the future,” he said. Kaplan expects investment firms, hedge funds, asset managers, and banks as clientele for the custodial platform.
Kaplan said the “unregulated exchanges” have struggled this year and he expects that to continue into 2024.
“The exchanges that launched their businesses prior to entering into compliance with federal securities laws will likely have a challenging time reverse-engineering their structures to meet SEC guidelines,” he said.Read in full https://www.dlnews.com/articles/regulation/crypto-exchange-prometheum-plans-to-launch-in-2024/ |

It appears the writer of this news article does not read between the lines hehehee. Luke Dashjr did not capitulate on his criticism on Ordinals. What Ocean Mining is only doing is it will recommend 3 block templates for their miners and let them decide what they want to use. I speculate that this is only the beginning. Luke Dashjr might have a roadmap already created to minimize Ordinals' effect on fees.  Sarcastic LukeBitcoin developer Luke Dashjr fought the rise of Ordinals, which he called "spam," but now his mining pool is allowing them.
A prominent Bitcoin Core developer and Ordinals critic, Luke Dashjr, may have had a change of heart about the NFT-like assets. Or at the very least, his company is moving beyond his own hardline stance around Ordinals.
With the update, Ocean says, miners can choose from three block template policy options: Ocean Recommended, focusing on what the company calls “real” financial transactions with minimal spam; Bitcoin Core with the “Ordisrespector” spam filter; and the unmodified Bitcoin Core, mirroring other pools with fewer financial transactions but more “spam”—meaning Ordinals and BRC-20 token transactions.Source https://decrypt.co/210662/bitcoin-ordinals-critic-caves-jack-dorsey-backed-ocean-mining-pool-flips-inscriptionsBitcoin mining company Ocean has announced a change in its stance on Ordinals inscriptions, allowing miners to decide whether to process Bitcoin blocks containing non-financial transactions. Previously, the company prohibited such actions. This move comes as a surprise to many, given the company’s and Luke Dashjr’s hardline stance against Ordinals in the past. dude he caved! now even lass hashing power is filtering Ordinals... there will be Ordinals in every block forever  I very much disagree. Does this person look something similar to someone who has caved? He is not transforming himself to become Sam Bankman Fried only to cave. I am quite certain that Open Ocean's change in stance should make everyone begin to wonder what is Luke's plan.  |

I disagree on your hotness issue argument. Similar to what you have speculated, Michelle Yeoh only won as the best actress because she is Asian. It might be again the same argument after the official announcement of each category if Lily Gladstone becomes the most favored nominee. She is an America native and she will be the first in history to win an oscar award for beat actress. The people behind the woke agenda might bribe and try to make this a reality, I reckon.
So if Lily Gladstone wins, it won't be because the jury likes her and her performance but because a so-called woke lobby bribed them? I hope you won't be a sore loser if you lose, because if you think the winners are actually chosen by a conspiracy, you shouldn't bet. People in the artistic and cinema industry are usually sensitive to minority issues and tend to share left-wing ideas, so they don't need to be bribed by a woke lobby to appreciate movies on these subjects IMO. It cannot be implied that there will be bribes because a jury does not decide the winners hehehe. The winners are determined through votes from all of the members of the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences. It includes not only the actors and the directors. This includes writers, producers, sound technicians, cinematographers, art designers and other members. Similar to what you have mentioned, people in the movie industry are sensitive to left wing ideas and minority issues. If these are the voters and if they follow a certain agenda for next year's awards then I speculate that Lily Gladstone might already be the winner. In any case, I sent 1mbtc to your escrow address already hehehe. 7582d60b7455e60e0c3d812d582ed9718931473c3119ffe9c65b25846e8f71f4 |

Arguments on the date when an ETF will be approved might be over. I reckon Blackrock's amendment and agreement on the SEC's demand for cash creation model assures that their application will be approved. Congratulations, bitcoin might have the first spot ETF on January 15, 2024, Blackrock's next deadline.  Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager, has yielded to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s preference for the cash creation model, instead of the in-kind model, for its spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The asset manager filed an amendment to its spot bitcoin ETF filing on Monday. The amendment details that Blackrock’s Ishares Bitcoin Trust issues shares in baskets of 40,000 or integral multiples thereof, noting that “Baskets may be redeemed by the Trust in exchange for the cash proceeds from selling the amount of bitcoin corresponding to their redemption value.”Source https://news.bitcoin.com/secs-preference-prevails-blackrock-adopts-cash-model-for-spot-bitcoin-etf/ |

@OcTradism. Agreed, bitcoin is still better than these altcoins even after their attempts. However, the argument is on the maximalists attitude that everyone should use only bitcoin and no other coin. How can everyone presently send bitcoin cheaply if everyone used only bitcoin. Maximalists should also admit that altcoins have their use cases also.

@zasad@. Hehehe agreed. This is why altcoins were created because there are developers that want to create something that can do better than bitcoin. Fast transactions, more anonymity or smart contracts, these are being developed. However, the bitcoin maximalists will call them scams then they will tell you that the best coin is only bitcoin. They will cancel you if you disagree. A very head shaking behavior hehehe. How do we expect the whole cryptospace forward with only bitcoin?

@ChiBitCTy. Agreed on the Browns and the Colts, however, not on the Vikings especially now Justin Jefferson is healthy. He and Addison will be difficult to defend for the Lions and the spread on +3.5 might be enough to win a bet. They are also playing in their home stadium.
On the the Patriots vs. the Broncos, what does everyone think of +6.5 for the Patriots? The Broncos cannot score +6 vs. the Patriots, I reckon.
Also the Chiefs -10 in Kansas against the Raiders might cover, I reckon.

Instead, an illusion of privacy was promoted to clearnet users (that's us here in bitcointalk), while in fact our "cleaner" funds were used to bail out real criminals and terrorists. Because to a mixer, a clean bitcoin, is worth more than market value, so they were willing to overpay for it in the form of advertising. Come to think of it, the recent bust of Sinbad served as a reminder that mixers are in fact very traceable.
This is a very interesting theory. Do you mean Mixers are in your theory used to replace bad money of criminals with good money from the innocent? As in there is a pool of criminal money and every Mixing Transaction is pretty much, Innocent sends 0.5 Bitcoin from legitimate source to Mixer Mixer sends back 0.5 Bitcoin from criminal source to Innocent And that they advertised on Bitcoin Talk so they could get rid of more criminal money while bringing in more Innocents? I never thought of this. If that is the case, ban Mixers. But then how difficult is it to get Bitcoin from Innocents? Bisq, Monero Atomic Swaps et cetera can all be ways of doing this. A criminal with BILLIONS can open up a seemingly legitimate Blockchain Analysis tool particularly to artificially 'clean' their own criminal Bitcoin by bypassing the filters. Or they could bribe already existing Blockchain Analysis companies to bypass the filters. I do not think this is the case but interesting outlook. Agreed. However, it might be a mistake to speculate if this is the case or not. We should be speculating on how high or how low is the possbility that this might be in our reality or not. If someone in the forum like @alani123 can think and speculate on something like this, it might also be very much possible that there are other people who have also thought about this before anyone of us in the forum. I am not saying that this is presently the case, however, if much of these different mixers are owned by a moneylaundering ring, it might be possible. |

Bitcoin is slow. Personally, I find it easier to use free transactions in the TRON ecosystem, which are confirmed in a few seconds, than to wait for confirmation in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Even these simple statistics tell us a lot.
That's the cost of decentralization 10 minutes isn't a lot if you are worried about decentralization and freedom. A swift can take many business days, for example. Otherwise, you can just use visa. Most cards will even give you 1% cashback for every transaction you make, and they are instantaneous. Bitcoin's goal is not speed or low cost, but freedom. Yes, I myself always say that you have to pay for freedom, but not everyone is ready to pay that much for freedom. Sometimes it's easier to use a centralized stablecoin   https://mempool.space/tvHowever, are the people who caused the fees to go very high paid the high fees for freedom? I reckon they paid them because they speculate that they will make much more money than they wasted on fees hehehe. It is not freedom, it is speculation and hype that caused a pump for demand to use bitcoin for NFTs and tokens. |

@hilariousetc. Have Joshua and Wilder also agreed that their fight will again be in Saudi Arabia?
The skeptical me thinks that if Joshua and Wilder have already signed a contract and it is agreed to also be in Saudi Arabia then there might be some people that will make it quite certain that they will win their fights spectacularly with knockouts heheehehee.
