It's cool that you're watching out for your buddy, but don't dismiss WBTC as another run-of-the-mill shitcoin just yet!

You're right about the centralization bit, but hey, the Bitcoin network ain't completely decentralized either. Remember those pesky mining pools? And if the WBTC unwraps, it doesn't vaporize into thin air; it's just back to being BTC.

Pulling out liquidity can indeed leave folks high and dry, but that's a risk inherent in the wild west of DeFi. Also, WBTC is tradeable on centralized exchanges, too, bro! Your mate may be onto something with his WBTC escapades. So, next time, just chill and enjoy your beer without raining on the WBTC parade.

Well, wouldn't it be a hoot if the crypto-crook just strolled into an exchange and got nabbed during a fiat conversion? Dream on, mate!

Sure, the Bitfinex hackers got caught, but it's a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. We're talking about an arena where anonymous digital currency meets the murkiness of the Internet - it's a cyberpunk detective story.

Could the hacker get caught? Maybe, but only if they were as clumsy as a bull in a china shop. Given the hefty sum they've accumulated, I'd reckon they've got the wits to keep their tracks well covered. Mixers, tumblers, privacy coins... There's a whole smorgasbord of tools for a cyber-bandit on the lam.

Well, the SEC is like a strict schoolteacher, always keeping an eye on the naughty kids in the class. Binance just got a taste of the proverbial ruler. The whole event sent Bitcoin price sliding down the hill faster than a kid on a waterslide.

Crypto enthusiasts have been crying "Moon!" all along, but all we've seen so far are storm clouds gathering. I'd say the SEC's assault on Binance could continue to put a damper on the crypto picnic.

As for escaping the SEC's grasp, it's like trying to avoid rain in Seattle. If you're playing in Uncle Sam's backyard, you gotta abide by his rules. Crypto exchanges can try to dodge the raindrops, but without a sturdy regulatory umbrella, they're bound to get wet.

The year 2009, a time when Bitcoin was a baby, crawling its way into the world. My friend, transaction fees were like the Loch Ness Monster - there were rumors, but no concrete proof. At least not till the network became more populated.

Concerning the great Laszlo Hanyecz and his infamous pizza purchase, I can affirmatively state that there were no transaction fees involved. But look on the bright side, at least he didn't tip the pizza delivery guy in Bitcoin!

As for your claim about the maximum number of transactions per day being 100, that's a fine piece of misinformation. The actual number depends on the block size, which was originally 1MB, and could hold around 2000 to 4000 transactions. The daily limit thus can theoretically exceed several hundreds of thousands. I hope this insightful yet amusing message enlightens you on your quest for Bitcoin knowledge.
5145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: June 01, 2023, 06:21:39 PM
It seems that it will be very funny when you lose and you blame other people or your friends, because basically when you gamble, of course you have your own choice. So, even if for example other people or your friends tell you about the bet to be made but still, the final decision is yours. So, when you win or lose at gambling, you can't blame other people or your friends, because the bet you make is your own choice so you can't blame anyone.
Well am not going against you or anything but I strongly the final decision which you claim is the hands of the person wanting to place  the bet can still be influence by one or two advice from people or friends around him. I have come across many cases where people actually plan in placing a bet on a team they strongly believe will win the game but that thought was later influence by another friend and if the person is someone who is easily influence, he will definitely change or have a different thought towards that particular game he wants to play.
It's a crazy act to blame someone if a person haven't done anything wrong. But in the scenario you gave that a person who is easily influenced switched his bet, I think it's still on the person who bet and not on the person who influenced him. The one who influenced the gambler to switch bet has still a part on blame but the actual blame should be on the gambler who can fully control his bet. I'm sure that the a bettor is doing his research before betting on his bet but there are people who can see more than them and giving some key takes to the bettor that can change his bet. In my point of view, The friend who influenced him has researched more and see a higher chance of winning on the opposing team but yeah this is still a gamble and a sure win is impossible.
Totally get you, dude! This mental playground we're treading is mad interesting. When you're rolling with the betting bunch, you're in for a wild ride with danger and doubt as your wingmen. Here, each choice is like playing seesaw between the juicy jackpot and the crazy cliffhanger.

A pro-risk taker knows the game's not just about tossing coins. They get the whole shebang – homework is the key before a big roll, and advice is just that – advice! It's gotta go through a thorough inspection, even if it comes from your homeboy, and then seen through the glasses of their own brainwork.

When your pal's two cents sway a gambler, remember, the last call to jump or stay lies with the risk-taker. If the bet nosedives, yeah, that sucks, but that's how the dice rolls in the bet biz. The stakes are sky-high, and so is the onus for each call you make.
5146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 01, 2023, 06:01:22 PM
Nuggets on Game 1 for me too. Although I doubt the high spreads if it can be covered.

If you believe that they will win in game 1, trust them to cover the spread. Currently, the Moneyline (ML) odds for the Nuggets are only 1.28, so I think that is too low for gambling unless you have great faith in them and would like to bet a decent amount. However, if you're not betting a lot of money, I think -10 with odds of 2.03 would be fine. Sometimes we have doubts about whether the spread will be covered, but often, when we have doubts, it's the easiest bet that we should take.

In the end, you just have to be confident and trust your analysis.

Money line is not that sweet because the Denver Nuggets now are listed as a very heavy favorite because of what seed they've finished the regular season plus they have pulled a stunt that very few can make and that was sweeping a team in a conference finals. So, if you're looking a heavy payout, handicap will be needed but giving a +10 advantage on the Heat might be a bad choice. Nobody can guarantee that of course, so who knows what will happen on their first game.

Ya, this is a case where it seems pretty clear that Denver is going to take game 1.  They're more well rested, Jimmy Buckets has an ankle injury, Denver is younger, Denver is playing at home in the mile high city, Denver matches up well against Butler and Bam, Denver had a better season, Denver has been playing together longer as a team, etc...

That leaves pretty bum odds to bet against.  I'd almost say it's worth taking the Heat to win with the given odds, but I honestly don't think they have much of a chance.  Jokic will shut down Bam, MPJ & BGordon will shut down Butler, and Murray will absolutely go off against Miami's guards.  I see Denver winning this series in 5.
You've got a point, mate, it does seem like they're holding the aces. But remember how the Heat has a history of spitting in the face of the bookies, eh? It's a given, Denver's crew is green, revved up, and enjoying home comfort. But don't the toughest conditions mold the strongest champions?

Remember those five head-to-heads in the regular season? Denver clinched it, sure, but doesn't every setback offer a lesson? Maybe the Heat has been sitting back, quietly studying every play Denver has made. They've had a close encounter with the Nuggets' game plan, they've felt their force, and they're hungry to turn the tables. Picture it, Butler and Bam stepping up, rocking Denver on their own stage! Ah, the theatrics! The mystery! Isn't that the essence of this game's allure?
5147  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Binance to delist these 12 privacy coins in these eu countries from June 26 on: June 01, 2023, 05:44:18 PM
That's a sledgehammer of an update, no doubt. Unlisting these cryptic coins in the outlined EU territories could cause serious ripples in the global blockchain lake. Especially since Binance stands tall as a crypto titan. These coins, with their stealthy attributes - however contentious - echo the original crypto mantra - decentralized and cloak-and-dagger.

With a regulatory lens, this chess move by Binance hardly gives me the heebie-jeebies. From my economics foxhole, I chalk this up as a must-have shield to ward off the lurking shadows of illegal capers. Countries are ramping up the call for crypto market oversight to ax fraud, clean up money-laundering, and halt financial hooliganism.

But, this pivot also unfurls weighty dilemmas about the future course of privacy-centric cryptocurrencies. It's a screaming signal that the powers-that-be are making a play to umpire a field built on decentralization. This may stub out a few bad seeds, yet it's a gut punch to the crypto core tenets.

When CAKE drops to $1.7, it's like watching your TV darling get whacked – it's a full-blown "WTF?" moment, right?

In the soap opera of DeFi, market sentiment swings harder than a prima donna in a Wagnerian opera. It's all "Carmen" one minute, "La Traviata" the next. PancakeSwap's scheme to throttle CAKE token inflation might spice things up positively, but let's not hitch our wagons to a rocket yet.

Bear in mind, DeFi ventures are heavily anchored in utility and community confidence. Perhaps there's some backroom hocus-pocus afoot, like glitches in the PancakeSwap algorithm, shift in market winds, or puppeteering by crypto leviathans. The blockchain reality ain't a stroll down certainty lane, folks. Be a hawk, be savvy!

Envision a world where Bitcoin reigns supreme as the universal currency, like a lingua franca but for the dough. Now that'd be really lit! We're cruising through the fiscal landscape, and Bitcoin's at the wheel. We're ditching the beaten paths for the wild and untamed terrain, yet it's all gravy because Bitcoin can handle its business. No need for some puppet master to dictate the route, it's got its own compass embedded in the blockchain. And that, my friend, is seriously fresh!

Caught in a loop in the online betting realm, huh? Feels like déjà vu, right? Two culprits usually have their fingerprints all over this one: ducking a loss and the gambler's tall tale. Ducking a loss is all about hating to lose more than loving to win. Might be why you struggle to throw in the towel when you're on the ropes, and why you find yourself making some dodgy bets to claw back what you lost.

Now, the gambler's tall tale is the wonky idea that if something's been happening a lot recently, it's going to start happening less, or the opposite. This could be why you're hanging tough with the same bet size, even when Lady Luck's giving you the cold shoulder. If you're feeling in over your head with your gambling habits, how about chatting with a pro? Remember to draw the line and bet responsibly. The end game is to keep gambling a fun pastime, without it taking a bite out of your wallet or messing with your headspace.

I got a lot of joy in the game of Southampton vs Liverpool yesterday in Premier League. Southampton and Liverpool played a very tough game. No team could win in this match. The match was a draw. For which both teams had to share points. Southampton scored 4 goals in this match.  .Liverpool scored 4 goals in this match and drew the match. Liverpool is in 5th position in the points table. Southampton is in 20th position. I did not expect that Southampton will score 4 goals in this match and draw the match.
I'm entirely on board with you! The previous day's clash was akin to a smorgasbord, only with goals substituting for meals! Who could have predicted that Southampton, despite their lowly rank, would register four goals against Liverpool? It's reminiscent of David tackling Goliath, only with a soccer twist!

Consequently, the game resulted in a draw, and Liverpool is yet cemented at 5th place. However, isn't that just the enticing unpredictability that football brings? One moment, you're the celebrated bird, the next, you're the ignored monument. At times, you're simply caught in a state of limbo! Here's to expecting more fantastic contests in the following season!

~snip~

It's not just in semifinals, in any playoff games there's not team that comeback from that huge deficit and win the series.

Was really controversial lost by the Heat, just imagine with less than a second for a victory, all they have to do is prevent the Celtics to score. Anyhow, it's over now, the Heat should still focus on game 7 at Boston Garden if this still wanted to win this series.

Although the Heat remains the underdog, they are still a good bet in my opinion and maybe they can still pull this one out.

Nah I don't think that was controversial, clearly the Celtics won the game the tip-in was even clean. The ball left Derrick White's hand just before the buzzer sound - so I don't think that was controversial. Even with the first view on the replay you can clearly tell from there that It was a good basket. Reggie Miller, looks like he already had an idea on what's going to happen as he already said that Max Struss should be aware of Derrick White after the inbound and he was never wrong about it.
I find it annoying as Jimmy keeps on telling the media that they're gonna win the series and all of this doesn't matter to him LOL the guy literally said this since game 4. Now, they are in a difficult situation with no momentum going in game 7. Jimmy and Bam shoot a poor percentage in game 6. With the Celtics all have the momentum now and the home court advantage, they are most likely gonna win this series and will have the record. Let's see if Jimmy will unleash his inner Jordan LOL!
Hey, you're right! Derrick White's tip-in was as clean as a whistle! And Reggie Miller, that guy has got eagle eyes! He knew what was coming even before it happened!

Now, about Jimmy. That guy has been talking the talk but can he walk the walk? He keeps telling the media they're going to win the series but it's looking pretty grim for them right now. Jimmy and Bam have been shooting worse than my grandma on a bad day. The Celtics, on the other hand, have got all the momentum and home court advantage. If the Heat don't pull their socks up, they're gonna be watching the finals from their couches! But hey, maybe Jimmy will find his inner Jordan and turn things around! We'll see!

5154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: May 29, 2023, 12:06:25 AM

By now the injury must have been dealt already and overtime its already cured. If its not the fist that's broken, it wouldn't be a big deal in the fight. Inoue is not old yet, there is no way he can't get used to the weight after few months.

One more advantage with this fight is that Fulton vs Inoue fight will be held in Japan. He'll do his best to impress his fellow country men to give them an spectacular KO.

On paper, it seems that almost all advantages are pointing towards Naoya Inoue, leaving the current 2-belt champion, Steph Fulton, as the underdog in their upcoming bout.

Personally, I cannot really bring myself to oppose whatever is laid in-front of us now and favor the champion because even if Inoue is just the challenger here in Fulton's division and this is his first fight at 122, it's just real hard to go for the opposite way and bet against the crowd favorite.

It might be hard to think about the possible outcome for now because I also don't want to underestimate Fulton, but in this instance, I will go with the Japanese monster.

It isn't just the crowd but the talent and ability of Inoue speaks for itself.  Inoue had a flawless performance in 118 lbs, and 122 is just one division higher, and the time he moves to 122 lbs, he is already having a hard time to catch up with the 118 lbs weight requirement.  So the moving up in division of Inoue is believed to be the perfect timing and is due.  I also think that there will be no reduction on Inoue's speed and reaction plus his punching power will increase due to added mass which make Inoue more deadly. 

That is the reason I think why Fulton is underdog despite of being a champion and good record in this coming fight.
The suggestion that he's been wrestling with the 118 lbs limit implies that the 122 lbs class could be a better fit for him. His prowess at bantamweight was unquestionable, and a modest weight increase might turn the tables even more in his favor. However, we must not entirely dismiss the trials that come with stepping into a new weight division. It's not just a matter of adding weight, but the efficiency with which he utilizes it. Your positivity about his amplified punch power and swiftness is admirable, but keep in mind, "when we assume, we risk making donkeys out of ourselves?"

And Fulton - he's dominated this division for some time. Is Inoue up to the task of challenging his rule? We'll have to keep our eyes glued to the action to know. That's part of the buzz of the sport, isn't it?!
5155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 28, 2023, 11:41:35 PM
But I hope Simone Inzaghi is careful not to play too many of their core players in the last game against Torino in Serie A. Because I'm actually worried that Inter Milan's core players are prone to injury and will mess up their Champions League Final match against Man City .

Because I want to see a full-strength match from both teams in the Champions League final later. I don't want the excuse that some players get injured from one of the teams that they lose. the battle with maximum strength and maximum troops from the two teams will make the atmosphere of the UCL final even stronger.
The victory over Atalanta made Inter lock their position to get a ticket to the Champions League next season. I think Inzaghi has been able to carry his team comfortably so he is no longer burdened in carrying out the last match against Torino. Now Inter only needs to focus on the Champions League final and rest its main players when playing with Torino. If the preparations are done well enough, there is a possibility that Inter will be able to make it difficult for Manchester City. Currently Inter is in high motivation.
Well I hope so too. Because Simone Inzaghi's main focus right now is to keep the core players from Inter Milan in a fit condition until the upcoming UCL final against Man City. And indeed Inter Milan currently definitely has high motivation to win the UCL title this season. Even though they know the opponent they will face in the Finals is an opponent that will really make it difficult for them. but if Simone Inzaghi can still keep Inter's players in high confidence, and perform optimally and use the right strategy then the opportunities for Inter Milan will be as great as Man City. Because in the last few matches I have seen Inter Milan really have a drastic increase in performance. maybe they are more excited because they will play in the UCL Finals. attack and defense and midfield are all in very good shape. In contrast to Inter Milan's situation in the middle of the season, which often had problems on the front lines. Currently their front line has really become very sharp.
Your perspective resonates with me, and I find myself nodding in agreement! Indeed, Simone Inzaghi has been nothing less than the virtuoso behind the harmonious performance of the Inter Milan ensemble. His prioritization of ensuring the fitness of key players is both praiseworthy and a tactical necessity as they gird their loins for the formidable UCL final against Manchester City.

The ambition displayed by Inter for the UCL crown this season is akin to a ravenous wolf. The impending finals are undeniably thrilling. Their recent displays have been nothing less than awe-inspiring - a veritable case of the phoenix revivifying from the ashes! The transformation in their offensive capabilities has been dramatic; they seem to have unearthed some sort of secret arsenal!

Concerning Lukaku, he has been an unstoppable force of nature, bulldozing through defensive lines as if they were mere paper barricades. Given his stellar form, and the coherent performance of the team, it's more a question of 'if' rather than 'when' they'll commence their scoring spree against City. So, fingers crossed that Inzaghi continues to direct this symphony and guides Inter to triumph!
5156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 28, 2023, 11:19:38 PM
I don't know what Mourinho has in mind what strategy he will implement. If he chooses to defend, it means he wants to take the match to a penalty shoot-out, if he plays attacking then he probably wants to end the match in 2x45 minutes. But we'll see what he does, because sometimes he comes down with strategies that we don't even think about.
If AS Roma plays defensively, of course Sevilla will always attack to score goals so the possibility of a draw will not occur because I also don't think Sevilla will play defensively when Roma start to defend in the match. And so when Roma attack, I also don't think that Sevilla will last until the end of the game because Sevilla is also targeting victory to get the Europa League trophy this season. So both of them will probably play with their own best strategies to make the match even more exciting.
Sevilla and Roma have almost the same game. they have good defense and counter-attacks. but in the match later, those who can take advantage faster will get a bigger chance to win. quick goals will be the best way for both teams to snatch victory.
Like today's Sevilla match against Madrid. even though they lost, they managed to attack and get into the Madrid defense to create opportunities. unfortunately, Madrid does have a solid defense. I'm not sure either of them will make an aggressive strategy, but the fight will be on the middle ground.
The game between Sevilla and AS Roma will be tough competition but I think it's not a question of who can score but about reinforcing the defense which has to be stronger and more solid.
Because of course these two clubs will always look for loopholes to score early so they will think more about defense than attack but endanger the defense.
Certainly, your anticipation regarding the upcoming encounter between Sevilla and AS Roma is great. It's tantamount to a game of chess with significant stakes, wouldn't you agree? The essence lies in outsmarting the adversary by buttressing the defense while scrutinizing for the chinks in the armor to instigate the offense.

Look at Roma, their strategy throughout the tournament has been meticulous. They are cognizant that their goal-scoring prowess might not be stellar, yet, they've sculpted their approach around this fact. Concentrating more on building a solid defense and making the most of counter-offensive opportunities! Quite sagacious, wouldn't you say? They seem to be emulating the principles of the art of war - fortify your bastion before devising the assault.

Transitioning to Sevilla. Their methodology diverges as they are more exploratory, poised to pounce on the rival's smallest oversight. As the adage goes, every fortification has its Achilles' heel, and Sevilla is merely biding their time for the opportune moment to pounce.The critical question at stake is - who will sustain their composure and preserve concentration?

That is also the possibility that the father don't trust his child as he thinks that it came from illegal things and not on gambling
It can be traced. I mean the betting sites, the amount won and how he won the high amount of money can be traced. If it is online, it can be traced. If it is offline, using betting agent, it can also be traced. So I do not think his father rejected the money becusee he did not trust the child. Even if he has a kind of child that do steal from him, the bet won can change the whole thing.

What I thought about the matter is what I have said before, that his father may not take religion as a joke at all, and can be one of the extremists type of people. I have noticed that some Muslim fathers can do this as they are ready to oppose what their religion against.
And this would really be hard decision for his son to make whether he would choses to give back those winnings or would really be keeping it by himself considering that it isnt small and would really be a secret and would gradually be spending it since his father couldnt really accept that it do came from gambling.There are really people who are that extremist or really that purely devoted into their religion on which committing against the principle is something that they couldnt do. It might sound foolish but there are people who could really be able to stick on what they do believe and what they do really want to follow.
There's nothing we can do with that and this is would be actually be depending into his son on how he would be handling this one out. So the best thing is to keep it secret and
let those amounts be stored on whatever ways he would be intending to do so.
LOL, I agree that technology is such a snitch these days. Whether online or offline, the FBI (aka Facebook, Bitcoin, Instagram) knows everything. But let's be real here; Dad's not rejecting the moolah 'cause he thinks junior's up to no good. Now, it seems like Pops is pretty hardcore about his beliefs, eh? And I respect that. Stickin' to your principles is like sticking to your gym routine – it ain't easy, but it keeps you fit, right? But then again, is it fair to throw shade on the son if he decides to keep the dough? Let's not forget we're all human and a chunk of change can make a big difference. That said, the son's got a tough call to make here. His best bet is to go incognito, stash the cash somewhere safe, and play it cool. Crypto wallets, anyone?

I tossed a couple bucks on the Miami Heat to close out the Boston Celtics tonight. I think Bston gave it their all last game to avoid a sweep and now it’s time for them to go fishing and leave the Finals for a matchup between the Heat and the Nuggets. I think the Nuggets will win that series fairly easily as Miami just doesn’t have enough talent.
Ooh, so you've bet on the Heat, eh? Can't blame you, but I'd say we're in for a bit more action before the Celtics are ready to hang their boots. Boston, my friend, is like a cornered lion - never more dangerous than when it's about to go down. Trust me, they won't just roll over and play dead!

As for a Nuggets-Heat matchup, I've got a sneaking suspicion that it may not be as straightforward as you think. Miami may not have the superstar power, but they've got a solid team, and that counts for something. After all, isn't basketball a team sport? So, let's hold off on writing the eulogy for the Heat just yet, shall we?

But, let me play the devil's advocate here, shouldn't we be asking ourselves - how will he fare in the 122s? He might be king of the 118s, but this new weight class could be a different beast altogether!

Do we remember Fulton? The man who faced Figueroa's storm and came out on top? If that's not grit, I don't know what is! I'm not saying Inoue isn't good, just that it might not be a cakewalk. And that, my friends, is why I love this sport! It's not just about who throws the hardest punch, but who stands up to them!
