My expectations are not as high as shown by OP. I am more conservative when it comes to my analysis to avoid getting disappointed. It happened to me during previous cycles wherein I was expecting too much in the price of bitcoin. The difference was only a couple of hundred but I was reluctant to sell so I continued to hold only for the market to slide down later on.
This coming 2025 I am just expecting bitcoin to reach a minimum of $95k. Ethereum at $10k, BNB $1k, Doge $1 and Matic at $5. So the plan is to trade and then be cautious once the prices reach my conservative target.

The February verdict on CZ's case might impact BNB's price. But it doesn't mean that it will only fall. There's a possibility that it will pump since BNB is not CZ. The weak hands probably sold their holdings already and maybe some are dumping regularly, so a pump is possible by February. Luckily we are in a mini bull run which is probably why BNB isn't dropping hard.
I am still holding my BNB. I haven't sold even a small portion although I am not planning to buy more at the moment. I'll just have to observe. At the moment, BNB is still next to Ethereum although XRP is getting closer with only a billion in difference.

Of course you should buy bitcoins now, you should buy bitcoins now and save for the long term. Because the price of Bitcoin is about to hit an all-time high. This is likely to happen by the end of 2024. And the price of Bitcoin is currently very high on its growth trajectory. The value of Bitcoin is increasing rapidly. Bitcoin price has increased by 16.1% in the past week alone, and it is still on the rise. lf you buy and hold Bitcoins now, your family will get huge financial support in the future.
Upon reading that you expect bitcoin to reach another ATH by the end of 2024 I checked its price history. Bitcoin indeed made an ATH by the end of 2020 and then it continued to grow to $69k by 2021. So maybe next year which is the halving year will repeat itself. I would be very happy if bitcoin reaches another ATH by next year which means $100k or even more is still very possible by 2025. So there's still plenty of time to save and then invest. I'm getting more excited but at the same time I am also taking the waiting time to accumulate more before an ATH is reached once again. |

and many also speculate that bitcoin is currently not experiencing a reasonable increase and will still fall to 20k, they say, I don't know what bad news will result in this, but what I know is news about the cz trial which will occur in February .
I also expect a correction before bitcoin goes to $50k above. This is why I have no plans to buy bitcoin at $42k above for this month's DCA, I'll just have to wait as the market is not just all about upwards but there must be some corrections as well. But for the speculation about bitcoin dropping to $20k, I doubt it will happen. I would love to make a bet that it won't drop that low within this cycle. I'll even consider it lucky if bitcoin drops to $30k again. So I plan to just accumulate bitcoin if it drops below $40k and then average down everytime it drops a thousand. |

Kambosos is a better fighter than Prograis and Haney dominated Kambosos twice,...
I don't know, mate, but I'd like to ask how did you compare these two fighters and see that Kambosos is the better fighter than Prograis? As far as I know, Prograis and Kambosos haven't fought yet, while Kambosos only has two losses, both coming from Haney. Prograis has only one loss, and that is against Josh Taylor. But that doesn't mean he'll easily lose to Haney just because he isn't undefeated anymore. For me, it's not even close. Prograis is more proven. He is a 2-time world champion, has successful title defenses and even successfully unified his WBC belt against the WBA champion before losing a very close and highly debatable majority decision against then-IBF champion Josh Taylor in the UK. Meanwhile, Kambosos was a one-hit wonder. He caught Teofimo's worst night of his life. Before Kambosos' title shot against Teofimo, he only won split decisions over Bey and Selby. Kambosos never successfully defended the belts even once as he was schooled by Haney twice. Old Linares and mediocre Jojo Diaz even performed better than Kambosos against Haney. Early next year, we're expecting old Loma to travel to Kambosos' backyard in Australia for the vacant IBF belt. That's the last chance for Kambosos to show that he belongs to the top names of the division, otherwise, his victory over Teofimo was just a fluke. |

And just like the rest of us here commenting on the shoulder roll of Ryan, this is what Devin Haney has to say, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZTl0eqT4yJYThe title though is a bit misleading, he didn't clown Ryan Garcia, he just shares his opinion with that stance of Garcia and again, majority of us see it as horrible and it seems that Ryan is learning that defense though. I'm surprised Haney did not laugh or bash Ryan. But probably because he wants Ryan not to get offended so he can take him after Prograis. If Haney wins impressively over Prograis this weekend, I don't know who's next since I cannot think of any fighters in the division that are popular aside from Ryan. If I remember correctly, someone here mentioned Ryan still has a fight remaining under GBP. Oscar also clarified he never offered Teofimo $1.8M to fight Ryan. So if Teofimo was not lying then Ryan and his team may be the ones making the laughable offer probably just to hype that they are ready for the champions. ^^ And that's why we said that this is a tune up or cherry pick fight for Ryan Garcia as we all know that Duarte can't last full 12 rounds against him. So very good choice for Oscar, to boost Ryan Garcia's confidence with this "great win" from him. And that's what really happen here, Duarte charging as that what his style and Ryan with his improved movement is just waiting to counter him all night.
Although he admit that he did worst impression of the shoulder roll and Derrick James didn't train him to do that. It just come to him maybe from watching other boxers from James stable doing that, hehehe.
Next year will be this division will be one of the hottest I believed, specially on the outcome of the Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney fight. As we might see money fights here with Haney, Lopez and Garcia potentially.
i don't think it was a cherry pick for garcia. because if duarte was really prepared on this fight, i honestly believe garcia would have hard time inside the ring. i guess it was his lucky day and at least giving a boost morale to himself for his career. now he can focus on his upcoming fights. and good thing for him as he will be heading to positive direction. because if he lost this one, he may suffer another mental breakdown. so the results of this fight will help him to dedicate himself to improving because he has bigger fights to look forward to. It's an obvious cherry-pick. Otherwise, why choose someone from 135 when you're fighting at 140? And then later on changed the catchweight to 143. So that was already 2 divisions north of Duarte's usual weight. Also, I doubt James and even Ryan himself do the awkward Phelly Shell experiment if they did not pick someone slow and will get even slower when moving up 2 divisions. |

A couple games to watch on ESPN tonight. Can’t say I’m too interested in watching the first one but the Timberwolves over the Spurs should be an easy win for bettors. The second game should prove to be a little more exciting as the Nuggets take on the Clippers. Surprisingly the Clippers are the favorite, so I’m wondering if the Nuggets have some people out.
The odds aren't that good for Timberwolves especially when they have the best record in the league at the moment. Luckily, I just watched them trailing 42-48 before the end of the second quarter so I took the -4.5 at 2.02 odds. So it seems like Wemby and his teammates are making history in the Spurs franchise. 15 straight losses at the moment so one more loss and they are tied at the franchise record. But their next game will be against the Bulls at home, this should be another opportunity for them to stop the bleeding after losing a close game to Atlanta. I'll be taking the ML here just in case the Spurs will fall short again. The Clippers-Denver game was a surprising one. Denver led by 15 at the end of the first quarter but only to allow the home team to double their score in the second quarter. The defense was good but Jokic missed some shots he should've made. |

Current ML odds have NOP @2.09 while Lakers @1.75 - not a bad deal for either team but I like the chances of the Pelicans winning over the Lakers to reach the in-season tournament Finals. It will be a good match up between Ingram and AD then you have Lebron and Zion. There is probably going to be a block party so watch out for those lines when it opens.
Pretty sure both teams will give it all. The Pelicans have a good line-up which I believe is better. But CJ, Zion, Ingram, and Valanciunas should be able to handle the pressure if they believe the In-Game Season is important. The Lakers though have deep experience compared to the Pelicans. The Pelicans should just give their best and think this is just another ordinary game to avoid pressure. Hachimura, Vanderbilt, and Reaves better be ready to step up because the focus on defending Lebron and AD might shut their offense down. I am still not sold out on this In-Game thing but at least the semi-finals up to the championship games should be more exciting than these early regular season games. |

Older individuals often have a more established financial situation, allowing them the freedom to engage in gambling activities without significant financial constraints. Additionally, with fewer family financial responsibilities at this stage in life, they might feel more at liberty to use their funds for leisure activities, including gambling.
Moreover, having more leisure time is a key factor. Older adults often find themselves with increased free time due to retirement or a reduced workload. Gambling can serve as a form of entertainment during these periods, offering a way to pass the time and perhaps even socialize with others who share similar interests. The combination of financial stability and ample free time creates an environment where older individuals may be more inclined to engage in gambling activities compared to their younger counterparts.
Well said. Sometimes the forum just has lots of weird topics and ideas. Gambling is just another form of entertainment and I don't see why regular but responsible gamblers need to stop even at an old age unless they find another hobby or something more interesting to them. What I noticed on land-based casinos though is there aren't many senior citizens playing. But maybe because I came from a developing country where the majority of the population isn't rich. However, every time I pass by a bingo casino in the nearby mall, it's flooded with old people, especially women. |

I can't believe OP is even asking a shallow question, the answer is very obvious. Seriously, only dumb people invest in something they have no idea about. It always begins with an idea before even starting to invest.
The easiest way to earn income without much idea is by investing money into treasury bills, bonds, and notes. There are also time deposits on banks. These are all safe and secure but the returns aren't that big unless you have millions to invest. The safest and most secure investments mean a low rate of returns.

I'm not surprised by Haney's move to vacate the belt at 135 lbs. His body has matured already, it's not that he doesn't want to defend it, but I'm seeing that it's more of his body not going to make it or it will be more difficult more his body to squeeze in that weight class.
So even if he doesn't want to, then he has no choice but to go to 140 lbs. And just think about it, if he beats Prograis here, then he will have a belt to defend in the future. So it will not be that easy for him to go back to 135 lbs, and as we have seen, he become undisputed already so nothing to proved there. He should just wait for Shakur or Tank Davis to move up and make that money fight.
Haney did mention that Tank Davis isn't interested in a shot at the undisputed championship. So it's more like Haney was only willing to sacrifice making the weight for a fight against Tank. Haney is mad at Shakur and Loma, and he knows they are too risky for him so he better vacate all his belts blocking them the opportunity to become undisputed in just a single fight. Tank is like a low-risk high-reward fight for Haney whereas with the potential money against risky Loma and Shakur, he can get it at 140 while at the same time he gets the chance to become a 2-division world champion. We are already at fight week. I like the bad blood between the two. I can feel Prograis is mad at Haney and wants to punish him badly. So he is determined here while Haney is hyping himself and talking about anything including lies to get public attention. Haney is doing the villain role to sell fights. |

Not riding the FOMO here. But I did regret I hadn't followed by monthly DCA dates because I thought I could buy bitcoin at a discount. So I have 2 months of backlogs on my DCA, October and November. The plan is to keep the DCA until bitcoin reaches $50k. But I felt like it is too early for bitcoin to continue its soaring price. I expect a correction in late December or maybe in January and that will be the time I buy bitcoin again. My current plan now is to buy bitcoin when it drops back to $40 and then average down every time it drops a thousand dollars to catch up with my DCA backlogs.

^^ Perhaps it was due to Usyk as a natural cruiserweight in my opinion that why he thought that he has that speed against those heavyweights. He shown it twice already against Anthony Joshua as he was able to slip that left hand of his many times because he is quick.
However, if he has the speed then Fury has the height and reach advantage and he knows how to use it. So maybe Usyk can throw some and hit Fury but what if Tyson timing everything and put a good counter and caught Usyk several times in this fight. It could be a factor later in the rounds, championship rounds that can make the difference in this fight if it goes 12 rounds.
Yes, Usyk is just a blown-up cruiserweight. If not for his superb skills and high IQ he could not hang with these heavyweights since he is giving up 10 to 40 pounds of weight. If Tyson Fury enters the ring with the same weight as his Ngannou fight, he will be around 60 pounds heavier than Usyk. But I guess Fury will be dropping down weight to make him a little lighter since he is facing a speedy technical fighter. I expect Fury to be around 260 and I won't be surprised if he drops as low as 255. I think Fury will be the aggressor and he won't wait to counter Usyk. Usyk will be too fast so Fury needs to put some pressure. Both fighters can counter each other, Fury with his timing while Usyk with his speed. The referee will play a very important role here. If the referee allows constant clinches and dirty inside fighting then Usyk will have serious problems dealing with the huge weight disadvantage. |

Weird, this did not even come to my mind ever since. But in no way I am including a stop on gambling as my New Year's resolution. I am not a gambling addict so I have no issues with it. My ultimate goal next year is to save as much as possible so I can invest it in bitcoin and some altcoins. I am currently into small-time betting only but I am using bitcoin so I guess I'll be more motivated to be careful with my bets and make sure I have enough knowledge every time I take a bet. Maybe I'll include not being lazy in participating in some great promotions. So that will be all about New Year's resolution related to gambling.

In my country, a lot of cryptocurrencies are legal but the problem is our greedy and corrupt government officials are planning to ban Binance and other centralized exchanges. Many exchanges like Binance wanted a license in my country but they were not given the chance probably because our corrupt officials have under-the-table deals with some exchanges. This way, the few exchanges that have licenses here avoided healthy competition.
At the moment, I noticed 3% to 5% spreads in our local greedy exchanges. So I see it as no difference to countries not legalizing cryptocurrencies. Many centralized exchanges like Binance offer the best experience but they disagree with users using VPNs. So I guess the best ways are probably thru decentralized exchanges or p2p.

So according to a tweet, Ja Morant is back on the 21st of December, and then the young star commented on the tweet and mentioned December 19. There are still over 60 remaining games in the regular season which means the Grizzlies still have the chance to climb their way up to the rankings. It's not easy though and it'll be a challenging season since there are only a few teams that are considered rebuilding.
The Grizzlies have only played 19 games so far. There are still 6 games to be played for Ja Morant to start or play due to his 25-game suspension. He will debut this season against the Pelicans which is the 26th game for the Grizzlies (December 19) and it will be an away game. If I were Ja Morant, I would choose to make my season debut at home. Hopefully, with Ja Morant back in the lineup the Grizzlies will improve their standing. Not going to doubt if Ja' will push his way to play on his debut away from their home court, knowing him and how he wanted to keep that media attentions, he will probably choose to make that scene and announce his coming back game. But on the other side, I want also to agree with you making a debut inside your home court and perform very well will create that enjoyment for all the fans who missed him. Let see what impact Ja' can bring. Like both of you, said they've got a lot of games left and with a winning streak they still have that chance for this season if ever Ja' bring that spark back to the whole squad. Hopefully, Ja worked a lot during his suspension time so he won't get rusty. Also hoping for his attitude to change, it's best if he stays humble or even stays away from the media if he can't control himself on sensitive issues. I expect Ja to be very wary of his return. So I guess he should play even if his season debut is away from home. He should show that he doesn't mind traveling on his first game and doesn't act like an entitled star. They do need even some short win-streaks if Memphis wants to enter the playoffs. |

Irrespective of our financial situation, we shouldn't purchase items based off of impulse. This is what the rich do that makes them not to consider the price tags of the items. Once they want it, they get. Most rich people that I know of have a terrible relationship with money mostly because money is always at their back and call. I can say they don't respect it.
You may weep if you ever watch a documentary of the stupidest things bought by rich people that is so expensive and they never use again. Not all rich people are guilty of this but most of them.
Well, rich people have enough financial space to get reckless according to their limits. I heard a lot of stories coming from friends' personal experiences about wealthy people buying stuff like appliances and luxurious decorations only to throw them away in the next few days because they do not like them anymore. And there is nothing wrong with it except maybe those people who were already born rich since they need to give more value to the money they just inherited without hard work. Many businesses failed when they were inherited by the founders next generations. That's because a lot of these people have no idea how their ancestors worked hard and gave value to money. |

Even though there is no title fight in the event I gave it a try because I expected good trades between Ryan and Duarte. But it ended up with Ryan using his newly learned techniques from James, the Philly Shell, and some running. There were so many openings on Ryan in that fight. Even light punchers Shakur and Haney would've easily stopped Ryan. But Duarte seemed lost in that fight. He was supposed to throw 3 to 5 right hooks on the side where Ryan is open but he can't. I guess Duarte was probably thinking about why he couldn't throw punches like he wanted to. But that was because he moved up 2 divisions north. He felt heavy and he was too slow to exploit the many openings in front of him.
If that was Ryan's last fight under GBP then he can sign with PBC to get that Rolly fight. Otherwise, he gets easily demolished by the champions, Teofimo, Prograis and Matias. But what can we expect though, he lost to Tank who's not even a world champion so how much more if he faces the real high-caliber fighters.
From what I have seen about Oscar Duarte he did not manage to make an adjustment on the fight he has trained for sure and has studied the past movements of Ryan Garcia and he was really not into this kind of Style that Ryan Garcia does so for sure he was caught up with not really knowing what to do, as even the fans are really question mark on what Ryan Garcia was doing, for sure many was baffled on why there was running from him, so many are just booing him by doing this, There were many times Duarte came near and even cornered Ryan but the problem was his speed. Duarte's not known to be fast but he became too slow with the added weight. Ryan trained with a coach whose fighters are slick and technical so Duarte was the perfect pick. But for me, I think Ryan picked the wrong coach or the wrong technique. He can't fight like that if he wants to become a world champion. He has to be honest with his natural fighting style. If he wants to retain James as his coach then at least they need to enhance his normal fighting style and not emulate something too unusual to him. Because the moment he's under pressure, he will surely return to his old style. |
