It's great to see BK8 establishing solid partnerships. Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest if not the greatest in the sport of boxing. The only 8-division world champion and he is also very popular around the world.

Aston Villa lost to Manchester United but they will bounce back stronger in their next games. Aston Villa is in a very close race at the top of EPL which is great. Also a big opportunity to join the Champions League next year which will boost BK8 further as the tournament is one of the most watched around the world.

Casimero is once again trending at least in his native country because he is known to mock and challenge Naoya Inoue. But based on their previous performances, I wonder if Casimero can even survive 5 rounds. Casimero is already in his mid-30s and his lifestyle as an athlete is not that strict which is probably the reason why he is performing below world class level.

I am not calling Inoue a thorn in Ph boxing. He's just at a different level and he is even loved and has a lot of fans in Ph. He did beat a lot from the Ph but it's the same situation with his Japanese comrades trying to block his way to greatness. The first time I heard Inoue was when he dared a Ph national champion for his pro debut. I thought, he would lose and in my mind, I was like, how dare he fight someone at that level in his first fight. The rest is history.

Cool. Thanks OP. I'm up for the challenge. Here's mine coming from my portfolio.

Happy Holidays everyone!

For as long as you did your research and you have the confidence then you're good. I assume you have a total of $250 as a starting capital. If I were you I'll just trade the whole amount. Stay away from leverage trading and better do it on spot trading. Leverage trading is only for those that have huge trading experience and you can feel it later on if you're ready or not. So you just focus on the spot trade. In spot trading you need a little bigger capital and $250 should be good enough.

If you want to buy altcoins and just HODL with a $250 capital, I'll probably just pick 2 coins at $100 each. $100 each for bitcoin and ethereum. If you can save regularly, you can invest in bitcoin, ethereum, and some other altcoins monthly or at a timeframe fit to your economic situation.

I'll go with Mr. theymos' decision to have a $100 weekly DCA on bitcoin. But if I can do it my way, it'll be a weekly DCA on bitcoin too but not 100%. I'll probably allocate 20% to 40% to altcoins depending on the future market trends. I could go on with a 100% bitcoin DCA but once I can feel some altcoins are starting to gain momentum then I'll trade some of my bitcoins into altcoins. When my altcoins are profiting already I will sell part of them back into bitcoins and then will HODL the rest.   

So AJ who hinted an interest in fighting Wilder after his fight with Wallin. AJ might get it since Wilder after that humbling defeat to Parker started to talk once again. Wilder still wanted the AJ fight a go and was even saying that AJ might use the Parker victory as an excuse and pick another opponent.

Without a big Saudi offer, it won't be surprising if AJ offers Wilder a fight in the UK. It's still big and it's easy money if AJ stays disciplined the whole fight. But AJ being the most popular heavyweight right now could choose easier fights rather than the dangerous Hrgovic, Parker, and Usyk-Fury winner. Another good option is Ngannou and the 40-year-old WBO interim champ, Zhang Zhilei.

Naoya Inoue just made history by becoming only the second fighter to become a 2-division undisputed champion. It was a brilliant display of ring IQ, hand speed, footwork, and stamina as he disposed of Tapales in the 10th round. Tapales made the fight interesting as he came to win, unlike the previous Inoue opponents who went into survival mode once they tasted the power punches of the talented Japanese.

With the win, Inoue has a serious claim for the pound-for-pound throne that The Ring currently entrusts on Terrence Crawford, the first 2-division undisputed in the 4-belt era. Inoue is a 4 division champion while Crawford is only a 3-division champion.

Voting is locked already. Should've extended it until December 31, forum time. Most people I encountered in this forum used BTT. But I prefer to use BCT since it is Bit-Coin-Talk. If we're to copy the use of BTC on bitcoin then I guess it should be called BTCT.

Anyway, I have no problem and I don't give much emphasis on how people want to abbreviate this forum. There is nothing wrong with them as long as they aren't something offensive.

Wow! I did not even know Luka is already inside the top 5 when it comes to the ongoing MVP race. The odds here say Luka is at #4 after Embiid, Jokic and SGA. 


Phoenix Suns are in serious trouble even when they had Nurkic playing. Ever since they had their winning streak broken, they already lost 9 of their last 12 games. This is not expected from a star-studded team. Bradley Beal's return is probably the game-changer this team is waiting for. In most of the games Booker and KD are playing their usual ways but they're still losing, coming up short. The management better do something while there is still enough time before the trade deadline. They can also consider firing Frank Vogel and look for other options.

Thanks for sharing the link here. Pretty cool mate! I am a big boxing fan as well and Manny Pacquiao is the only 8-division champion in the history of the sport. So it's an honor BK8 can get endorsed by a legend and one of the very best in the sport. And now I am more interested in getting a BK8 apparel.

Wilder landed 26 of his power punches out of 94. Overall including jabs, Wilder landed just 39 out of 204. I think it is more on the mental state of Wilder. I'd been saying before that he might be more unstable than AJ after their strings of defeat. After Wilder scored a big KO on Helenius, I thought he was back to his usual self. He tried to establish himself as the aggressor but Parker also knew how important the role of the aggressor in their fight. The aggressive stance of Parker made it difficult and when the Kiwi started throwing quick punches, Wilder was surprised and could not match the speed so he gave up and fought backward hoping for the counter. Wilder is not highly skilled so fighting backward is a no-no because it is more difficult to throw punches and win rounds that way. After the second half, it was evident that Wilder and his team were starting to get worried that he might never land a solid counter. He was also scared to let his hands go and try to force Parker into retreat mode except for the last few rounds.

AJ said he wants to become a 3-time world champion. Which means fighting the winner of Usyk-Fury or fighting the IBF interim Filip Hrgovic or the WBO interim Zhilei Zhang. Or he could request the WBC to make his next fight a WBC mandatory or for the interim belt. AJ also showed interest in a Wilder fight which I believe could still fill a stadium in the UK if the Saudis aren't interested in it.

But I guess Eddie Hearn will convince AJ of the less risky but financially better fights. They'll probably offer something big for Ngannou or Wilder or the 40-year-old Zhilei Zhang. I believe that version of Parker is a 50/50 fight for AJ. Eddie did not give a direct answer when asked about a fight with Filip. Poor Filip has no big fan base and he was wasting his prime years because nobody wants to risk with less money.

Here is the Compubox report on the Parker-Wilder fight.

If all people prioritized financial stability before starting a family, the world would be a better place. Although I am not saying that starting a family even if the finances aren't secured yet will fail, there's still the chance of being successful. But it's just different when someone is in a financially stable condition, the chances of having a better family and becoming more successful are high.

I know there are still many people who believe in the old ways like we should get married before 30. I don't agree with it. Modern countries usually average over 30 years old when their people get married. And so it's proven rather than the old beliefs that has to change. 

First of all Merry Christmas sa ating lahat. It's been years now. On and off rin ako dito sa forum pero bumabalik pa rin lalo na pag paparating na ang bull run kung saan marami dito mga news and meaningful discussions.

Biggest achievement ko siguro sa 2023 is yung DCA ko mostly kay BTC which only started December rin sa 2022 kung saan sumakto na nag $15k level si BTC. Grabeng tipid ko talaga for the last 2 years. Meron mga dapat ayusin sa bahay pero I prefer to invest.

Wish ko is more opportunities rin sa kahit anong klaseng raket basta hindi illegal sa 2024. I vacate myself from committments kasi pinaghandaan ko talaga mga possible opportunties lalo na coming na BTC halving which means the market will start rising once again. Yang IPhone kabayan kaya mo yan sa 2024. Ako naman medyo ambisyoso pero the goal is to save as much as possible para may pang talpak sa BTC at ibang altcoins para sana milyones ang kitain by 2025 or 2026. And then start a business pagbalik ng bear season.

Welcome back kabayan!

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.

This is a great fight. Both fighters showed respect to each other. May the best man win.

It's been an NBA tradition to schedule rival teams during Christmas and it probably has high ratings which is why it continues. I might miss some of the games but I am definitely watching the old rivalry between the Boston Celtics and the Lakers. Boston is the top team in the NBA but this is not an easy game on the road especially when the Lakers just beat the 3rd ranked OKC at Oklamoha in their previous outing. But I have a -3.5 bet on Boston.

Booker going up against Doncic will be another intriguing game. Doncic got the best in their previous meetings but this time Booker has KD on his side. But I am rooting for the home team here even if they have been struggling lately. Might try to catch some good odds during the live game.

11- inthelongrun

Thank and Happy Holidays everyone!

I had it 120-108 but 2 of the judges scored it to Wilder when he landed some heavy shots although Parker landed his own and was still in control. I'm just surprised Parker showed the younger version of himself. He was supposed to be slow and past his prime but he was damn quick against Wilder. His stance made it difficult for Wilder to become aggressive.

AJ said he is still willing to fight Wilder. I guess it's easy money for AJ and will still fill a stadium in the UK. Hopefully, Usyk retires after beating Fury so all these contenders will fight for the belts.

Since Wilder's prospect days, I always have had doubts about him. I always see him as gifted with an iron fist but that's all. Wilder has low-level skills and there were many times he was losing rounds before landing his heavy punches saving him from defeats.

Wow! The Lakers are back in the winning column at the expense of the Oklahoma Thunder. What a game by Lebron James, he made a season-high 40 points. OKC still played well but it was too late. OKC just couldn't stop the Lakers' momentum starting in the 2nd quarter and it was around 30 points lead in the 3rd quarter. This could be an off-night for OKC and the Lakers were on the road determined to end their losing streak. Still, OKC should learn from games like this. They need to be better, especially during the playoffs when they are facing teams that have deep experiences.

A lot of people are busy analyzing this fight. What I expect is both Inoue and Tapales are preparing something not common, especially at the start of the round.

I expect Inoue to stay smart and composed. He will use his jab and some combinations but won't exchange with Tapales at the start. Inoue will only start to unleash his deadly attacks once he can find his reach.

Tapales is very different from Donaire. He is younger and could be stronger and a little faster than that old version of Donaire. But I doubt Tapales hits harder than Donaire. Although this is 122 and Inoue could get hurt by Tapales' power shots. I believe Sanman is preparing Tapales to be the aggressor but if he cannot do it then they are preparing counter combinations and haymakers when cornered.

Here is my current crypto portfolio. I am mostly into bitcoin because I started its DCA in December of last year. I only have a few altcoins although I am planning to add more, especially on Ethereum. I haven't included my stable coins but it should be more than 10% if added.



I haven't mentioned an amount because it is not necessary. What is necessary is to only invest an amount that you can afford to lose. Never borrow money to invest in crypto. And do not use funds that are intended for other purposes. And for the newbies, only start as small as possible. You can grow it little by little once you acquire knowledge and be more confident to invest.
