I have Oscar just winning slightly on my scorecard, but his performance is bad, in my opinion. It's too bad that Robson was very close to become a world champion, but he let his feet of the pedal, that's why Oscar was able to recover and come back and win the fight. What I don't like though is one judge scoring it for Valdez 117-111. I'm locking the thread now, let's continue our discussion on the potential fighter that Oscar might face next, [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson. |

bitcoin has broken the 50k benchmark frequently and even at the moment, the price of bitcoin is still above $50,000, which still represents a full scale bull market.
Well, if it's hovering around the 50k resistance.then problem bitcoin market is having a hard time doing what they have to do which is break through and set another point to stay or hover around. But either way we think of what's happening to the market right now, I don't think that we have anything to worry about as bitcoin's only way is up. now the price of bitcoin has reached $ 52k after successfully breaking through the price resistance of $ 50k and if the market is in a positive state of course the price can increase again, especially now that bitcoin has been adopted by several countries in the world. although the analysis and predictions are not always correct but at least we are still optimistic that the bitcoin price will be able to reach its ATH again and of course what we have to do now is buy bitcoin and hold it until the bitcoin price is high again  After you posted this, the price suddenly goes down hard to $43k, so obviously, we are not in the positive state in the last 2 days, although a good bounce to $46k has been achieved and it seems that we are green already. I'm not sure what several countries you are talking here, it was El Salvador initially and we haven't heard any country to follow. But I wouldn't say that the bitcoin bull run has tamed, it just hit a wall right now. |

So let's see what version of Caleb Plant will show, yes we don't underestimate him, but even if he works double hard, it might not be enough for beat Canelo in this fight.
In fact, I'm more seeing Caleb Plant is more determined to win here because of his status as an underdog. Just thinking the recognition he will get if he will upset Canelo is already an inspirational to him and will make him more focus and serious to take down Alvares. Can't wait for this match to happen. Every underdog is determined to win, to proved that the betting public or at least sports bookies are wrong putting them as underdog. Yes, it will be one of the biggest upsets of the year, more than Ugas defeating Pacquiao. But it's going to be a tall order of Caleb to even hit Canelo with a damaging punch that will change the fight itself. Not only you mate, everyone can't wait to see this fight, it's a reunification fight and Plant is the last guy standing for Canelo to get all the belts at 168 lbs. |

I saw a rumor today that Portland is looking into trading CJ McCollum for Ben Simmons to pair with Dame. That would be an interesting pairing in my eyes, but Dame and CJ are best friends so I’m not sure how true that is. I can’t see Dame giving the OK to Portland to ship off one of his best friends.
It will be somewhat odd and ironic if CJ will be the one to be traded. CJ defended Dame in his social media accounts and telling that Dame will stay with Portland, I also don't like that move from Portland, Dame + CJ looks solid in my opinion, it's just the role players that needs to be upgraded so that Portland will be a championship bound team. No need to break the chemistry between their superstars. |

This has been something I have found difficult to decide on . When this bill run ends in a couple of months time should I sell all my VET and XRP then buy back in when the market turns bearish until the next bullrun?
Or do I only sell a portion of what I have and hold the rest for another 4 years. Reason I am asking is could XRP and VET continue to rise once the bull run ends ? I obviously don’t want to sell all my tokens to find they are continuing to rise in a bear market
What are your thoughts ?
Rule of thumb is: You don't ask for financial advise because we are no experts here. What we can tell you today might not work for you in the future. So it's really up to you to decide and you are the only one that can really tell when to sell and when to buy again. After all, this is your money, so you have to be very careful with it. Also take into considerations if you are here for long or short term. Or as others have said, "invest what you can afford to lose", so that you won't feel that dilemma. |

As per TA, if we maintain $43k (which is the average), then we are still in good levels.
But who knows, September could be a very volatile month, but hopefully, we can still bounce back and not hit below $43k and continue with this bullish sentiments. Yes, we did hit $43k, but then we have a good bounce in the last 24 hours at $46k, so maybe this is a good indication as the selling pressure has somewhat settled down.

Today marked the history of Bitcoin becoming a legal tender, El Salvador a country in north-central America has become the first country to approve the operation and acceptance of Bitcoin as a legal currency.
The government wallet App chivowallet got overloaded in the early hours, which resulted in it going offline citizens are having miss feeling about the stability of the app and the El Salvador economy.
I think it's normal though, and it's obvious that the wallet provider faces some congestions, so it's going to be bumpy in the beginning. Even huge exchange such as Coinbase will suddenly went offline or in a maintenance mode when they are overwhelm by huge trading. So the big question is how Chivo Wallet will react to this because for sure a lot of El Salvadorian are going to used their services. Consider this as one big test for them. |

We have been in a bull market since March 2021 the minor setback in the price of bitcoin all the while was just a correction stage and in no time we will see Bitcoin crossing the resistance level and making a new all-time high. The entire market is down presently, but Bitcoin is still holding the $50k resistance level, which shows bullish momentum.
Yeah, and just like that, the market dumps, hehehe, not sure what's the reason of the recent crash, we can blame the whales for it, or El Salvador might have something to do. Nevertheless, from $43k lows to $46k, so again, we are below $50k. So from 52k->$43k->$46k, in just 24 hours, just shows how bitcoin is really that volatile. Be that as it may, I must say that this is crypto space, others may not like it's volatility, but that's how we prosper here. So yes, for me we are still in the mids of a bullish momentum, with some minor pullback. |

This is what Oscar Valdez says: "I have never used banned substances to improve my performance. I never have and never will. I am respectful of anti-doping tests since my time as an amateur and now as a professional," Valdez said.
"And since I've been a professional I have undergone more than 30 anti-doping tests, which is something we always ask for and we make sure that [drug testing] is in the contract, to do the VADA tests to keep the sport clean and to make sure that no one has any advantage." https://www.boxingscene.com/oscar-valdez-i-never-banned-substances-improve-my-performance--160320Yeah, we take his word, but seriously, how can someone who says who didn't take any ban substance was caught here? His A and B sample turns out to be positive, if it is only A sample, probably he get it from somewhere else, but both his samples are positive. So I agree with some posters that he might have used this one to mask some other substance, or his condition coach forgot about the recycling calendar. We are not experts in this area, let's leave it to the expert I guess. The fact that the fight still continues despite the findings, that would only say that he did not violate any rules and therefore there's no reason to speculate that he should be ban or sanction for being positive of such drugs substances. What do you mean by 'experts" though? Urine and blood samples don't lie, he was tested twice and come up to be positive. I'm not an expert in this area, but Valdez is not denying the fact that he has failed the drug test. But his defense is that he didn't used any drugs. So we will just have to used our common sense here as who is telling the truth or not. Science or Valdez himself, make your choice. Anyhow, as @bisdak40 said, just a couple more days and we will see this fight. Still a must watch fight. |

Next Country to accept bitcoins is legal tender will be BLANK? Serbia.
As far as I know they have passed crypto regulations late last year or early this year. So for now we can say that Serbia is a crypto friendly country. But as far as legalised it, we can't really say for certain. And as what @davis196 said, most likely countries that are developing and under developed will legalised bitcoin and it could provide access and tap its potential as medium in terms of financials. |

Then you just conclude that Green is a useless player hehe. It's not about the productivity but the overall performance. It's common to lose that everybody in Warriors is struggling. If he is nothing without Steph and Klay, then no team will have interest on signing him in the future and worst, the Warriors might consider trading him despite he is a part of their championship run. I didn't even hearing his name in some rumors that a team shows interest to him.
It's true. Overall performance can keep you in one team even if you are not a shooter. Then, there is impact, being a team player and so much more to offer than just being an offensive player. Yes, impact players that can only play like 10 minutes, but once they are inside the court, the game changes, the complexion goes into their favour. Look at KD, he had been jumping in different teams and so does Kyrie and Kawhi. They are not the type to be a team player but mostly isolations.
I think KD just wanted to taste the water outside and win championships, and he had experience that with the GSW. And maybe Kobe will be the last great franchise players we will see in the league. Playmakers such as Draymond Green and Marcus Smart are different. They may not be ball handlers or with high dribbling skills but they can manage the plays and can lead using high IQ. Lebron is doing the same thing when he got older.
And they could also be a good mentor as well for their rookies and teach them how to become a great player. And then motivating the experience one like what he did to Curry, Thompson and even KD when he was still with GSW. |

Right, and now that he has Canelo's attention, it will be very bad for Caleb for bringing this as this is provoking Canelo. Alvarez has seen a lot and for sure he was not affected by it. And worst this can be his final motivation to really put a punishment on Caleb's big mouth. I'm seeing the best version of Canelo is this fight and I will not be surprised if the fight doesn't last a distance. So Caleb better be prepared now that he uses this strategy that will backfire on him. Caleb has an enviable record in professional boxing until now (12 KOs out of his 21 wins, with no losses). But he has never faced an opponent of the caliber of Canelo. His last three opponents were Caleb Truax, Vincent Feigenbutz and Mike Lee (all three faced him for the IBF super middleweight title). These opponents can't even be compared to Canelo. And Caleb has again made some controversial statements. It is interesting that I haven't heard much from Canelo for the last few days. Caleb has been doing all the talk. Canelo doesn't talk that much in public, and if ever he opens his mouth, he don't trash talk, he talks more of the fight itself rather than his opponent. That's why he is quiet right now, just occasional post in his official twitter promoting the fight, that's it. This is Caleb's biggest fight so far, and his record is on that line, because Canelo might take that 0. Well, with the Caliber of Canelo Alvarez, it's unlikely that Caleb will win. Canelo will look to fight an undefeated fighter as that's what the opponent can only be proud of as they have not fought a high-caliber boxer in their life. I am not underestimated Caleb Plant, but he should double his hard work to last in this fight and possibly wins it. Right, Canelo is far more superior, has the experienced to really beat any version of Caleb Plant. He is even voted or name as the number 4 marketable athlete in the world (this could be debatable). https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-named-worlds-most-marketable-male-athlete-anthony-joshua-no-75-gervonta-davis-no-89--160261So let's see what version of Caleb Plant will show, yes we don't underestimate him, but even if he works double hard, it might not be enough for beat Canelo in this fight. |

^^ Yes, both is pressured, Kambosos to proved that he is a good and worthy challenger and he can back up this trash talking, and Lopez demonstrate that he is a pound for pound, after winning against Loma. And that's why this fight is really exciting and may the best man win here, although the ML is one Teofimo Lopez as he is the defending champion.
To be honest, I want Lopez to win this and utterly destroy Kambosos given that he's the one talking smack in this bout. And if it's not the case, I wouldn't be proud that Kambosos is the winner because of his behavior. Hehehe, just a typical Australian smack talking, it's probably in them to really trash talk their opponent and boxing is one sports wherein they can do it to to get to their opponent skins because this is also a mental game. Yes, Lopez can also talk smack and then destroy you in the ring. But George is not going to back down, that's why this fight is going to be a war as no one yielding. |

not sure about this some techinal says it would only touch 53K and Go down, there's some says it just bull trap
but to be honest when i replying this i just lost money causing by bitcoin wave :')
I'm not sure as well about this bull trap, the current pattern is that we will try to break a big psychological barrier, lets say $48k or $50k. Then it will dip a bit, but above support level, and then we will go again and breach it. So that pattern is not a bull trap in my opinion. So sorry to hear that you lost money in the current run, I guess you do short trading, which is not advisable in a bull run because you will get REKT. |

So how are you playing gambling? Did you play alone in your rooms or in your home or in the public area or do you have a special room just to spend your time to playing gambling?
When I was a little kid, I saw people around me gamble, I mean the environment when I grow up. In the house, we will just play friendly games with money, just to have some fun. But when I go out, I started to play with money with the intention to profit, but of course that time I didn't know what I'm doing, maybe because of the influence around me or something. But now that I'm a parent, probably my kids hear me playing, but I mostly played outside, and land base casino, while online, yeah, just me alone in the room away from them. |

Just looking at the first two rounds, it seems that Warrington didn't learn any from the first time, except many try to push Lara and jab more. But he will be worn out by that style and probably loss this fight again.
Anyhow, I will be locking this thread, no need to discuss it even as the fight ends on a head clash with no winner. If the rematch happens (which I don't see happening), then I will reopen this or create a new thread. Too bad for us who beat on this fight.

With the latest news, I guess we will not anymore see this fight happen this year.
Inoue and Casimero already confirm that they will fight in December, as long as the contract will be reported sign by the two, then we can lock this thread for a while as we have speculated too much already here.
Casimero had give out some hints or words that the fight will be on December which this do somehow put up this Donaire vs Inoue fight is not that possible or not likely to happen. And if the fight eventually happens, it's a win already for Casimero, hehehe, he just used his mouth against Inoue and boom, fight happens. hehehe. But we need to wait for the contract to be sign and officially announce. Inoue vs Donaire will obviously will be push through, might be a good time for Donaire to just wait for the winner of Inoue vs Casimero. |

I'm not saying the Achilles injury won't affect Klay's Thompson shooting % but I see he can adjust right away and back to his usual form once he returns to playing on the court. The reason is, majority of his moves was catch and shoot. Yes, it requires great footwork but mostly, the pressure is on his shooting.
Once returned, he just needs to refrain from attacking the paint until his confidence to do it comes back. Warriors will be deadly next season even other teams improved. We saw how Curry makes lots of crazy scores last season and they become noticeable even with a bad record. Now with the help again, I'm expecting he will be on his usual form and not that owning all offense by the team.
Yeah, but I don't think he can still stop from attacking, if it permits. He should be fine as well, just some time to get back and adjust. We've seen Durant recovered already and others who goes with the same injury and return back as normal. Fans are really missing Klay, but we can wait to see him play early next year, everyone is anticipating that he will return and bring back the splash brothers, can't wait to see him and Steph on the court again. |
