No doubt about it 60 years should be just fined for this criminals.

Trickbot is one hell of an advance malware that cyber threat analyst have been in years.

Usually spread in emails and the victims is not aware that they have been infected by it until it was too late. The sophistication and the level of how they infect their victims, regardless if it is business enterprises or individual is really one of a kind.

I do hope they can capture more individuals/groups of cyber criminals.

If you do not consider BTC, then I would advise to invest on the top 10 altcoins, easy.

You've mentioned some good altcoins as well so go for it.

Just don't invest on shitcoin, I'm sure you know the drill about that.

And then the rest? Just hold your DOGE maybe in the next bull run the price will really go up very high.
5323  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What if Covid 19 broke the 4 year market cycle? on: November 15, 2021, 09:18:08 PM
Just spitballing this idea:

Current basis for btc 4 year cycles is based on the fact that we are assuming movements / time frames with repeat themselves or at least rhyme with the past movements, in stages of exponential highs, correction, accumulation, and continuation. And while those happen, there's no rule that it needs to happen with a similar pace.

I know we are assuming that btc cycle lenght is based on Bitcoin technical FA (halvenings) and that real world events would not affecting the cycle lenght. But Covid 19 just halted nearly everything in this planet for a very long time, so why wouldn't it affect all market cycles with it? Bitcoin wouldn't live in the vacuum when it comes to market conditions.

Well it could have some effects not just on crypto but the whole financial markets.

And then we also have bitcoin's narrative changes as well, institution money flowing like no other bull run before, there are government like El Salvador investing and then some known and unknown companies investing on bitcoin as well as hedge.

So the whole cycle might change not just due to Covid-19. There are so many for bitcoin in the table right now that this could be the first time that we might break the known 4 year cycle.

It's been almost a year to since we saw GGG fought, his last match is a win against Kamil Szeremeta, but this match is also a must watch and yes it will be a close fight because Murata is also a tough fighter who defeats boxers with a much more higher experience than him. Although GGG is at the reach advantage in this match, I still believe tha he'll win against the Japanese Pride. I did some research on Murata's recent matches and I can say that GGG will have this one.

Hopefully we can see a trilogy against Canelo, if GGG could actually make this match.
The pandemic is the reason for the long break, if it was a normal situation he would be active because his age is catching up, i am hoping that GGG will not find any difficulty in the fight against Murata and after that hopefully we will be seeing the trilogy against Canelo and that is the only fight that i enjoy now because the first two fights were really close and that is the only fight i want to see because of their skill level.

Yeah, probably it could be due to pandemic, or GGG can't find any suitable opponents in this division as he seems to be cleaning it out again. Or maybe the he really targets Murata but it did take some time to negotiate specially the place of the fight, perhaps there are still restrictions in Japan.

Everyone wanted to see a GGG vs Canelo trilogy but it seems that it is not going to happen. Canelo is way too big for now.
5325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: November 15, 2021, 10:12:53 AM
As far as I know the contract between Top Rank and Crawford is up until October of this year.

So I'm not sure if Crawford has sign an extension, or if this is the last fight under contract. That's why it's quite surprising to see Crawford getting a PBC boxer for the first time and one of the toughest in the field.

Based on Crawford's camp statement even before, it's more likely that they will not extend the contract under Bob Arum's Top Rank Promotion. Since then, Crawford didn't have a chance to fight a top boxer and that's their request for a long time. Shawn Porter might be considered as one of the popular names but that's not enough to consider as "top" by Crawford camp "based on my own view".

Surely, we can expect an update about that after their bout - if Crawford wins.

That's right, this is the last fight of Crawford under Top rank promotion if he will not renew the contract. It's not a problem for him to look for other promoters as surely there are many who are just waiting for him and they could give a good offer to Crawford just to get him on board.

Bob Arum discusses prospect of continuing to promote Terence Crawford after Shawn Porter fight

If Crawford is dreaming on fighting the best then he should take the risk not to renew under Top Rank as the reason why rumors came out that he is looking for a new promoter is because he is not satisfied on the time he work with Top rank.

This is so true mate, he really need not to sign another contract with Top Rank, he can be a freelancer so that he can fight whoever he wants. Top Rank doesn't have the best welwerweight in the division, it's all on the PBC or Al Haymon stable.

Or he can sign with Al with all the good money and then he can fight them with no problem. He is also not getting any younger, he still has like good 3-4 fights in him. He shouldn't waste it fighting bums.
5326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 15, 2021, 09:01:12 AM
Beat Butler first then maybe they can start the talk with Inoue if he wants to risk his belt for a unification fight. We are all waiting for that big fight to happen because not only it will bring entertainment, it's also a chance for Casimero to prove that he is the best in his division.
There's already the talk with Inoue but it was postponed when this match of Butler came in and was pursued by WBO. I agree that Casimero has to beat Butler first.
So after this match, he can move on with anyone whom he wants to fight but there's the most high chance that it's going to be with Inoue since it has already been talked about by Casimero then the unexpected has happened that he has to fight first Butler.

Actually, before the postpone, Casimero and Inoue already have a scheduled fight last year but got canceled. This year, it was the 2nd negotiation already before WBO mandated a fight between Casimero and Butler.

Butler knows that Casimero is the one hyped on the match. He will do everything too to beat Quadro Alas to have some big fights too in the future.
Yes, there's already the talk about and a certain date that Casimero has told. But all of a sudden, there's this news from the WBO that he has to fight Butler first. We're all thinking that it's already going to be Inoue and Casimero at the end of this year but there's a quick change of expectancy from the fighter. I don't want to underestimate Butler although Casimero is really a strong fighter but no choice but to let this match happen for Casimero to move further.

I believed that the Casimero vs Inoue fight news before was just all hype, yes they have a verbal argument in the public, but that's it. We didn't see any from both sides really trying to make the fight. Sean Gibbons of MP (former handler of Casimero), was also all talk, while Bob Arum keeps silent.

So it was just an obvious ploy to make some noise specially for Casimero.

And now he has to go to his mandatory first before getting Inoue.

I won on the Suns, but unfortunately, I also ride on GSW, but the streak was finally ended, thanks to the great defense of the Hornets. And then Terry Rozier playing as if he was still win the Celtics, Lol. But overall, it was a good game for them. Congrats to those who bet against the GSW. Clippers winning streak also stop here with a lost against the Bulls. Chicago playing solid defense and offense the whole game. Clippers looks very tired, no ball movement, all one on one by Paul George and then missed a lot of good open three's that could have close the lead by the Bulls in the last 2-3 minutes.
5328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: November 14, 2021, 09:57:04 PM
^^ If he will be present on the fight itself, then it looks like the eye operation has been healing as scheduled.

So definitely that is the fight that we are also waiting to happen for years now, Crawford vs Spence or the unification of the welterweight division. But first, Crawford needs to get over Porter here in a spectacular fashion so that Arum will have no reason not to set up the fight next.

Arum waited too long to make it happen? I think if he wants to set up a fight between Crawford and Spence, they could have already arranged it before Spence meet a car accident. I have a feeling that Bob is trying to play safe as he is not sure if Crawford would win against Spence.

If Bob would always do that then most likely Crawford will not renew the contract with the top rank, it was reported that his contract will expire soon so he has a chance now to work with other promoters that could give him the fight that he is asking for. The job of the promoter is very crucial in building a fighter's career, but if it will result to not fighting the best, then it does not make a champion a real champion, if you know what I'm saying.

As far as I know the contract between Top Rank and Crawford is up until October of this year.

So I'm not sure if Crawford has sign an extension, or if this is the last fight under contract. That's why it's quite surprising to see Crawford getting a PBC boxer for the first time and one of the toughest in the field.

Yeah, the fight could have made with Spence before his injuries, but eventually it can still be arrange after this fight.

Hey guys

I’ve been lately following a little these various meme tokens… Maybe I’m dumb (or just too old and not active enough in the new cryptos  Tongue ), but how do these projects make any money for themselves?  If they put 100% of the tokens into liquidity (e.g., on Uniswap or Pancakeswap), what does the team (the token creators) get out of this?  What's the team's tokenomics interest here??


Don't believed everything what you read, maybe they've already locked a certain amount of tokens to them or they can simply change the code then boom, they have their own tokens without us knowing.

And if you see something like this, I mean teams not getting any? That is too good to be true project and most likely it might pull a exit scam or suddenly disappear or the code itself is not foul-proof so stay away from that kind o projects.
5330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: November 14, 2021, 08:52:02 PM

We will see Lopez fight Kambosos in the next couple of days, but that fight took many months in the making, changing of promotional company etc.. etc..

That is his only fight this year if it will happen.

Loma will have his 2nd fight this year against Commey and if he wins this 2021 is a great year for Loma as he bounces back strong. While on the other hand, Lopez will be tested in his fight with Kambasos as his opponent is also undefeated and I feel he can match Lopez fairly in the ring, I expect an upset here actually. IMO, the most active boxer this year is Canelo Alvarez as he had fought 3 times this year.

Right, and I think he also wanted to send a message to Lopez here that he is really back after he defeated him and he has move forward facing two tough opponent in the division.

So if Loma wins in this fight against Commey, then Lopez can't hide next year. The fight should really be push, the ball is on Lopez court though, Loma is willing, but Lopez has so many excuses in his book.
5331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 14, 2021, 08:24:38 PM
Therefore my pick is Suns -8.5.
No doubt, I will ride that bro.
How about Golden State Warriors? They are on fire with their 7th winning streak and all we need is -5.5 handicap to have x1.99.
I think I'll take that too. I don't know why it is that low considering how difficult it is to stop the plays they are making especially with a young team like Charlotte Hornets. It may be another steal for all the gamblers if GSW is pursuing for another record breaking standing of the season.

Yeah, I like the chance of Phoenix Suns so I will also tail this one.

I have the Warriors -4.5, I think they are unstoppable at this point. Curry will again shoot the lights out of the Hornets, yes they are young and probably Warriors will take this up as a challenge for them. And Curry just broke Allen's record, so we know he wants a good separation on the record starting today.
5332  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if $70k was Bitcoin ATH for the year? on: November 14, 2021, 03:09:01 PM
Isn't that fine? I mean do you really must get 100k+ or whatever you are aiming at for this year to make you happy? I am totally fine with whatever we have, I do not need to see something that is grand to be happy with the situation. Now dropping a lot is a different case then having a high price, I could be happy with not reaching 70k+ but if it reaches to 30k against this year that could be a little bad.

Yeah, that's fine with me as well, the thing is that we are somewhat make to believed that $100k will be the norm for this year because of so many predictions about it from known personality and of course the S2F model.

I would still not be worried, just get more bitcoins when it is cheap so I would be still glad that it dropped, but I would also understand people who end up scared as well, that part makes sense. If you are all in and not making any more purchases then you could be a little upset when it falls down.

Those that are going to be worried are those who buy bitcoin at the top price. So we understand there concern that they wanted to get profits from their investment. But whatever angle you look at it, we have reach many ath this year and $70k+ is already too high.

What we achieved so far this year is already great for me.
We have reached price levels that have not been seen in btc history, for the last decade.
So whatever the price it will close this year, I will be more than happy to see.
And the adoption and interest from various entities is still increasing, so we don't have to worry about its future.
Most of us wanted profits of what we invested, that's understandable, but don't push yourself too much.


Yep, adoption and fundamentals are even greater as well.

If I recall correction, when China miners where booted out by their government, the hashing power went down, together with the price, but now we have bounce back and recovered and the network is very secure right now more than ever. That alone shows that bitcoin is going to last for the next 10 years or so and probably this might be one reason that the price will still continue to grow. But $70k this year is great already, but it will be even better if we are going to peak at 6 digits at the end of 2021 or early 2022.

^What happened to the post of the stadus? I think there is a malfunction in his hardware or something.
Dennis Schröder continues his great game, against Cavaliers he leads the team by scoring 28 points, unfortunately, they lose in this game.
They are in control in the first 3 quarters but in the 4th quarter, Cavaliers played more defense and they got a win with only 2 point margin.

The 4th quarter score was 29-15, just one quarter and the Cavaliers were able to beat the Celtics this game.

Still, that inconsistency in defense was very evident here, 2nd time I saw a 4th quarter meltdown of the Celtics.
They gave up a big lead. That's what happened. When Rubio came in, the Cavaliers became a different team like the ghost of every great player merged with them.  Grin Bench points and contribution, that was the big difference between them.
With the Cavaliers finding Mobley as hot in the 4th quarter, they never let him sit down and let that heat produce more. He is one of the key factors they won it and then the defense of Osman from the impact of Mobley's 3 blocks at the 4th.


Yeah, it seems that Rubio is a perfect fit for the Cavaliers right now. But I'm not sure how long they are going to sustained this kind of run. I mean with no legitimate superstar to lead the team, just a group of players who really play hard nosed defense and wait for someone to wax hot like Mobley this time. And they shouldn't let themselves always get into the situation wherein they have to dig deeper and claw back in every game.

What do you think of GSW vs Hornets game tomorrow? Will GSW continue its magical run?
5334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: November 13, 2021, 11:21:27 PM
And Terence Crawford really knows what's his up to his this fight:

Quote
“He makes fights ugly. That’s what he do best,” Crawford noted during a live on-air interview with ESPN’s Mark Kriegel. “He got a skill of winning by any means necessary. If he gotta go in there and stink it up just to get the victory, he gonna go in there and stink it up to get the victory.

https://www.boxingscene.com/crawford-porter-makes-fights-ugly-he-got-skill-winning-by-any-means-necessary--161972

And this is so true of Porter, he will really do anything in his power to make the fight ugly and make Crawford uncomfortable here. But it seems the Crawford is prepared on what Porter are going to throw on his way. Not really sure though if he can get a sparring partner with Porter's style, but for sure this is going to be a war.

Hi, guys
For a long time, one question never ceases to bother me - how do people find out about the sales of new coins even before the official announcement? I am constantly learning about it too late. Yesterday my friend told me about the start of the public sale of tokens, but the price is already rising.

Maybe there are some insider resources or groups where all this information is?


This is a very difficult to answer even though that there are websites that give us this information, I would say that majority of them might not even be accurate. I guess if you really wanted to get this info then you really need to be in the social media and read everything related to crypto, reddit, 4chan, telegram because that's where gonna find this kind of information.

I don't believed on insider information group, they are just going to squeeze you with money with data that you are readily available to the public. So just be careful about it.
5337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: November 13, 2021, 09:20:42 PM
In my opinion both boxers are the best boxers so far in the lightweight, and of course the fight will be a fierce fight even if the fight is non-title, so far both boxers have a pretty good record, Commey so far recorded a total of 33 fights with 30 wins and three defeats and Lomachenko has 15 wins with two defeats from a total of 17 matches he has played

Commey in a former champion, and so is Loma in the lightweight, but I don't consider this a close fight. Others might not agree with by I think this will be an easy fight for Loma. He is very technical and I don't think that Commey can cope with that and then his speed and power.

No, I don't find it an easy one for Loma, we've seen him lose against Lopez and though he was injured that time, Lopez was really good at competing with Loma, therefore I would say that he also has a weakness and he is not invincible. With Commey's experience, it's possible that he can beat Loma but of course the betting sites would make Loma the favorite because he is the better fighter, but that doesn't mean he would win.

Well, Loma can make it an easy fight for him, we all know how good he is in adjusting. But the thing with Commey is that he has a long reach and Loma historically has difficulty in fighting boxers with that physically, like in the Jorge Linares fight wherein he suffered a flash knock down.

So it really depends on Loma, what will be his strategy and how he will read Commey in the first couple of rounds and then make the necessary adjustments to make the fight "easy" or at least he can control an dictate it.
5338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 13, 2021, 08:46:50 PM
He is not a type of player who can do that kind of damage consistently. I will go for Tatum as he is more dedicated compared to Schoder.

Yes, he contributes good numbers from this OT game against Bucks, but I doubt he will continue making that same game from time to time
let us say it's time for him to bring his value and try to have another chance for a much bigger contract.

If Boston sees him as a valuable asset, who knows maybe they will offer him, but it can't be concluded just by playing big in one game, right?
Of course, one great performance doesn't mean anything, although it's worth noting that Schroder has scored 20 or more points in the last three games. I guess he will have a good chance to get a huge contract if he continues to play at the same level throughout the season and helps the Celtics reach the playoffs.

I agree, but the good thing is that he is he back as a part of a core team, similar to what he did with the Lakers. He became the main point guard, but the Celtics needed more from Dennis this tournament and hopefully this game is just the beginning for him to really improved and be 'consistent' because that's why the Celtics lacks specially in play-offs. Let Tatum take over the team, but at least Dennis will be there to provide some help day in day out.

I lost my bet on NYK vs the Hornets.

NYK leads in the beginning, but as usual, the Hornets coming back in the middle of the 3rd and then takes over the 4th quarter.

Won on Boston ML though, so it's 1/1 for me today:

Really good win by Boston in their homecourt, but it was not that easy, they have to go overtime to get this one. The Bucks without Giannis but they keep the game tight in the 4th and with Grayson Allen hitting that 3 in the corner to force the overtime.

Dennis Schroder come up big in this game, with big numbers, 38 points, probably his best game as a Celtics this year.
