He is fast and strong for his weight, I don't think Andrade, the Charlo brothers can take his power he can move to a higher division and still be powerful and fast, there's no one in his division that can beat him now, people are now thinking of the Golovkin fight, Golovkin is still better and he is the only fighter who has gone toe to toe against Alvarez and they should settle the score between the two fo them, the second fight is not unanimous.

I agree, Charlo brothers has nothing to offer to Canelo, they hasn't beat any name fighters in their resume, while Andrade the same, just looking for a good paycheck before he retires.

Options for Canelo is to move up to 175 lbs, Bivol or Beterbiev, that will be an amazing fight as those two are also heavy punches and have been avoided.

Not sure if Canelo is open to move up to LHW, he said after the fight with Kovalev is that he is no longer going to campaign on this weight. Maybe his team knows that it's really hard to go up in weight and super middleweight in his home.

However, he already swept obviously he got the 4 belts in modern era.

Give GGG a trilogy then? all for the sake of money because there's nothing for him to accomplished.

This is like 3 weeks ago, we already posted a new all time high already. But then again the price goes down after that and now we are still hovering $61k.

It's means the approval has push the price to a new all time high, but after 2 days it didn't sustained the volume, hence the correction. So not sure if this Bitcoin ETF will be the catalyst for a big expectation of $100k in December or it will just have a short term effect on the price.

Here is the latest interview from Teofimo Lopez, fight will be on the 27th already:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bLE3_HZCj0

He said that he is going to massacre George Kambosos and will knock him out in round 1.

Really confident that he will going to finished Kambosos by a brutal knock out. Then he is talking about to move to 140 lbs so maybe we can't see him and Loma.

https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/05/digital_yuan_140m_wallets/

You lot won't like this, but here is a digital currency that is actually used to buy things. Something that bitcoin has failed to do in 10 years.

The writing is on the wall.

Do Chinese people have any other choice here? Lol. That's why their government build their own CBCD, so don't be surprised that maybe by the end of next year, billions of Chinese have one time or another uses their CBCD to do online transactions specially if they are going to interact with their government.

Just to be fair, bitcoin can be used to purchase things as well. And they are not even comparable to CBCD of any nations, or like in this example the Digital Yuan.
5365  Economy / Speculation / Re: [Poll] If this happens, is it time to sell your Bitcoin? on: November 06, 2021, 04:18:03 PM
With some people starting to talk about double tops and calling Bitcoin’s ATH in the rear view, do you think it’s time to sell if we don’t see the stock to flow $100K target hit in December?

The S2F model will then have to readjust again and again to fit its narrative, we might come into a point wherein 6 digits will no longer be the target.

With other bubbles in 2013 & 2017 being in December, do you sell next month no matter what happens?

That was my biggest mistake, to sell in 2017 and didn't hold. I should have at least hold half of what I save. Instead I try to sell them all.

Is it different this time? Will there be no bear market?

Yes, bitcoin narrative has change, maybe we can see two super bullish market. So we are not done yet.
5366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 06, 2021, 03:48:51 PM
And if I'm not mistaken, the announcer said that Jordan Poole stays in the arena or at least continue his shooting more than any other GSW player.

And now we are hitting the fruits of his labor as he can literally shot the 3's anywhere he want just like Steph. And I've seen youtube even before the season starts that Poole are going to be big with the GSW and that's what happening now.

The kid is now gaining confidence at every game. Since the start of the season, Steve Kerr puts him as one of the starters for 8 consecutive games now. There's also an improvement in his playing compared to the last 2 seasons at the Warriors. He's now 2nd in the team with the highest PPG surpassing Andrew Wiggins.

The kid has the potential to become a new face of the franchise. He just needs to be consistent and puts up a high-level performance especially if they are up against a much strong team.

I think the Warriors should get rid of Wiggins, once Thompson will return, they are full-pack with shooters and they might not need Wiggins who is very inconsistent.

I disagree though, he is still vital in the GSW offense and defense, he can be a perimeter player and then the one giving assists for their fluid offense. Maybe he was just off night, his outside shooting % is going down though, but still he can contribute in our department.

The warriors are doing pretty well but in the playoffs, I'm sure they need to be better because it's a series of games and adjustments are necessary, also they need to improve their defense, so trading Wiggins for a player that could help them improve their defense, I think that's a + for the Warriors.

Right, but I would say give Wiggins some time, he will re-adjust and then probably be the same Wiggins we've seen last year wherein he was the second option in scoring.

^^ Jrue play but it was not enough, in the first quarter they've established a good lead but the Knicks keeps coming back. And then DRose who beat his man and then goes for a floater every time, way to easy basket. And then they cut that 21 lead down to 5 in the second quarter.

And then the dagger 3 by DRose in the 3rd quarter to give the Knicks 4 point lead.

5368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: November 06, 2021, 10:21:24 AM
^^ Indeed it was very intense, the adrenaline rush for this fighter are insane, they really wanted to get each other's heads-off.

But as the saying goes, once the bell ring, it will only be this 2 fighters, no fans, no trainers to help them out. Maybe Caleb can be good in the first couple of rounds and the fight be as competitive. But Canelo is a cerebral fighter and he will use his boxing IQ. And it will be really hard for Caleb, I don't think he has the power to knock down Alvarez if he touches him. Canelo's chin is one of the best in the middleweight, never been broken by anyone, not even GGG.

Rounds 1 up to 3 will certainly be for Caleb Plant. Canelo starts much of his fights very slow while he downloads much of his opponents’ strategy. Floyd Mayweather is like this, also Terence Crawford and other similarly good boxers. This will be Canelo for the knockout before round 10.
I agree, Canelo is a slow starter, even BJS finds success early and we though that he has a chance to an an upset. But once Canelo settles down in the fight and find Plant's weaknesses, like moving more on his right when he throws punch, or even his foot placement.  So yes, I agree with your prediction that this wouldn't last 12 rounds and Canelo making history as the first undisputed super middleweight in the 4 division era.

But maybe Canelo will be a different animal in this fight and will start hot and wanted to push Caleb Plant from the very first round. And will continue up to the middle and maybe take him out before round 10 and score a body punch knock out or upper cut, hehehe.

So yeah, I'm not seeing a 12 round here, Canelo is too good and will be too much for Caleb. Caleb is good but he hasn't face a fighter like Canelo, complete and in his prime.
5369  Economy / Speculation / Re: JP Morgan: bitcoin could hit $146,000 on: November 05, 2021, 10:00:27 PM
I think they made this bold prediction at the start of the year, and just renewed their prediction in the last day that bitcoin will indeed on the road to $100k.

This is their prediction on January 4, 2021.

JPMorgan says bitcoin could rally as high as $100,000 - but warns that such a surge would be 'unsustainable'



But just the other day, I was surprised to find this thread:

JP Morgan believes Bitcoin is Overpriced.

Here is the final presser:

No fanfare, just simply presser with both fighters answering questions from boxing reporters.

And as Canelo said, tune in, history in the making for this fight.

I'll take Detroit +3.5 against the Sixers.

Back to back and then going into road games, it will be tough for them. The win against Chicago is not very easy so it takes a lot of Sixers as well physically and mentally, and if they are going to beat Detroit at their home court, it will be very close and within that handicap.
5372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon doesn't own Shiba? on: November 04, 2021, 10:19:33 PM
Probably another trick in Elon Musk book, (1) if someone ask him how much "x" cryptocurrency he owns, he will say no (2) it will have a domino effect on that "x" coins pulling the price down (3) Elon Musk buy a ton (4) change his stance and he said he bought some (5) the price spike, (6) more money again for him.

So for me I wouldn't bother to read his tweet or whatsnot. We should decide for ourselves and not blindly listen to any crypto influencer, not only Elon Musk.

I really like your ecenario. In your opinion, we should now buy SHIBA and wait for Elon Musk's new tweet, but this time with positive news for SHIBA.
I think this idea is worth risking a few bucks Smiley
If there is a positive tweet about SHIBA on Musk's profile, I will ask you for your BTC address to transfer some satoshi Wink

Lol, look at this tweet though,



https://twitter.com/Tree_of_Alpha/status/1456332297393872899

So it seems that he is going to accept it as mode of payment for his Tesla and now creating more hype for him and Shiba of course. My scenario is very close though,  Grin
5373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can SHIB rise to 0.1? on: November 02, 2021, 10:50:22 AM
Just take note though that this post comes from a newbie, so we would understand that he might have been investing on it at the top and so he came here to shill for it, it's understandable.

But what makes me concern here is the price that he wanted to see, hehehe.

For that $8k prediction, it would surprised the combine BTC and ETH trading volumes, and I doubt that it will happen. Even at the height of Doge, it didn't reach that daily volume. So I would say that sorry to tell the OP that this is impossible.
5374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SQUID GAMES TOKEN CRASHES on: November 02, 2021, 09:59:18 AM
After a few days ago I saw a lot of influencers on Tiktok discussing the Squid game token that flew 3500% in 3 days turned out to be abandoned after the hypeya stopped.  I can't afford to think of those who got stuck at the top and took all the losses on those tokens.  Is there anyone here who bought it?
This is how our risks if you buy a token or coin that only follows a clear trend without fundamental. The first will be the luckiest, and the one at the top of the burden.
Source https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/11/01/squid-game-token-crashes-developers-say-theyve-left-the-project/

No, I wasn't aware that there was this kind of token. And if ever I knew it, I wouldn't invest specially at the top because it is obvious that this is just a hype and pure pump and dump.

And I felt sorry for those who are swayed to buy and join the fun and I would say that they are the real victims here. Risk is almost a common commodity in the market, it's how you manage it. Logically would you buy something that has no use case at all?
5375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Jonas Sultan vs Carlos Caraballo - October 30, 2021 on: November 02, 2021, 09:00:46 AM
Apart from the 10-9 on one of the judge's score card on a knockdown, I'm not going to argue with the rest of the rounds. I think we can all agree that Caraballo is the more technical and efficient fighter throughout the match. He's unlucky that Sultan had a very tough chin despite landing clean and powerful shots of his own. I think a rematch is in order.

I'm not sure if a rematch will be a wise call for the camp of Caraballo. They just recently inked contract with Top Rank and hoping that this will be his first win and potentially he is promised of a good money in the future. However, Sultan derailed all their plans, lol, and they don't want to damage Caraballo early. So probably just another cherry pick fight for Caraballo to bring his confidence back and then knock out his opponents again just to get track.
Yeah that's a good point if you're seeing it from Top Rank's point of view. If they go that path, it's possible that Sultan will also lose to someone else. Caraballo can take the belt back from the new champ Grin I bet he wants an immediate rematch if he's the one calling the shots to redeem himself. Although it's his first, it wasn't a devastating loss that would lower his confidence in his own boxing skills.

Top Rank is known to protect their fighters so I'm just thinking that they won't simply allow him to fight Sultan after that big lost. Someone mentions Caraballo's similarity to Amir Khan, and after Amir first lost to Breidis Prescott, he take an easy fight after that and win by TKO against Fagan. Not sure though if Amir that time was under the banner of Top Rank. But in any case, Caraballo is still very young and just look first for other fight after his first lost. Grin

https://www.toprank.com/all-news/broadway-loma-vasiliy-lomachenko-richard-commey-lightweight-showdown-marks-boxings-return-to-madison-square-garden-december-11-and-live-on-espn/

So Loma is back after his big win against Nakatani. And then time will be pitted against Richard Commey, a former champion.

Although we can argue that it seems that Loma is just fighting Teo Lopez left-over, but he is doing it more than Lopez though. Lopez has a difficult fight against Nakatani, but Loma just toyed with Nakatani and defeat him via TKO. So the pattern may continue here, I will have Loma winning by stoppage and the fight will not last 12 rounds.

Richard Commey - https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/563751

Celtics will play against the Bulls at home, they are just -2.5.
I like this odds, they are playing at home against the Bulls, so it's a big challenge for them, if they'll get this win then we should not doubt them that they are still the same team, a playoff team. Actually, I'm taking it because it's only -2.5 and it's easy to cover if they'll win.

Probably this is going to be another close one. I won against them last game, and they are facing a team that has improved a lot.

Even the ML is good enough for me here @1.83 for the Celtics. So this time I'm going with them, it's their home court and it's a must win situation for them. They need to get back in winning ways and they still have the players that can deliver it for them.

Homecourt advantage and coming from an OT loss from Wizard, a very good inspiration to try winning this game and not to disappoint the fans.,
Another thing, Bulls are showing greatness from this early season. If Celtics will beat them, they'll be gaining more confidence,

They are also a good team from the East and they need to prove that they are still a good team to beat from this new season.

ML parlay with other games, thinking about the hornets and Celtics ML combinations..

Yeah, they had the win already, but Celtics collapse again for the second straight game and lose by 14.

Going to the fourth they have a good lead 12 if I'm not mistaken, but DeRozan and Lavine combine for a massive comeback and then they did play good stifle defense to only allow the Celtics to score 12 points in the 4th quarter. I should have learn from my first win against them with the Wizards shuts them off.

It is being reported that Isaac Cruz will be the replacement opponent for Tank Davis' next fight.

Sources: Isaac Cruz has agreed to a deal  to fight Gervonta Davis on Dec. 5 in Los Angeles on Showtime PPV. The lightweight contender from Mexico will replace Rolando Romero, who was pulled from the bout after being accused of sexual assault.

Good, at least Davis has find a replacement and will still be busy this December and will have a fight against Isaac Cruz.

But I think we will have the same results here, might be good for several rounds as we all know that Mexicans are all warriors. But once Davis, find his weaknesses, he will exploit it and goes for a knock out here.
