Uncle Jim has spoken negatively on a cryptocoin again and this is on Ethereum ehehehehe! Ethereum holders should be very thankful for this. This might be a signal that a pump will be coming soon. This might also be bullish on Bitcoin and the cryptospace because Ethereum might become the leader of the pump and bring more positive speculations on the market.

"The fact that Ether is selling off is just a testament to how much it had been bid up, not really anything significant."

Uh oh.

I'm in!

Here's what we had in terms of buy-ins over the last three years. 2.5 mbtc works for me, but if someone wants to drop it to say 2 mbtc, i'm fine with that as well.

1.5 mBTC 2021 - $35k ($50)
2.5 mBTC 2022 - $23k ($57.5)
2.5 mBTC 2023 - $30k ($75)
2.5 mBTC 2024 - $66k ($165) ?

(avg. btc prices taken in late July/early August...when we usually pay)


Yahoo has served us well for the past two seasons, and we don't need to switch. Aside from the draft room, which feels a little cramped up, i don't find any serious issues with the website/app.

If we decide to vote on this, i recommend that everyone test Sleeper first (app and web), as it has a totally different vibe than Yahoo/ESPN. If you prefer classical layouts, Sleeper is not for you. I do a lot of mock drafts there, but i'm not sure if i want to play.

On Yahoo Fantasy, agreed. We should not change to another platform. We are familiar with it already.

Also, agreed to the other suggestion that @Hueristic should be the commissioner again.

However, the fee would be very high for me. I am not very confident in my ability to win against all of you heheheh. You can give my slot to someone else. I am okay with this.

On this conference if Trump does not cancel his appearance, everything he will say in his speech might pump the market to a new all time high. I reckon everything will be to make America great again and to make bitcoin and the cryptospace in America the greatest in the world. We have not witnessed the full power of this Trump pump. The real Trump pump can certainly pump bitcoin to more than $80,000 American dollars. I am very much certain of this.
This guy gets it. Trump is great for Bitcoin!

I have become bearish on Trump's appearance on this conference because everyone has begun to expect a very big pump during his speech. There might also be an occurrence that is sell the news when everyone's expectations have not given them the expected pump. If the pump is big it might continue, however, if the pump is small where traders begin to speculate that it might not pump higher, there might be a dump. But similar to what I have said before, it will recover.

@zasad@. Thank you for sharing my friend, this is very good news heheeh. I speculate that this action that they have begun will strengthen more when their coalition will gather more people and businesses from the cryptospace. I reckon that this would not have occured if uncle Gary was fair on his crypto crackdown. However, he was not. This will be him after the Ethereum ETF's begins trading hehehehehe. The Solana ETF will be the next.

The contrarian in me is thinking that this might be a sell the news occurrence on the day when Trump speaks in the bitcoin conference in Nashville. I am not quite certain of this, however, this is my speculation. If everyone begins to accept that a storyline is real, this begins the weakening of the storyline. There might be a Trump dump on July 27. But there will also be a recovery after this.



Donald Trump's impending appearance at the Nashville Bitcoin conference has traders preparing for fat-tails – extreme or unusual price movements in the leading cryptocurrency.

Activity in the options market listed on Deribit and tracked by Amberdata shows a noticeable increase in the "butterfly index," which measures the volatility of the out-of-the-money (OTM) 25-delta (∆25) call and put options listed at a distance from the going market price of bitcoin {{BTC}] relative to at-the-money (ATM) options closer the spot price. The spike in the index indicates expectations for more extreme market movements.

"This week we’re going to hear Trump speak at the Nashville Bitcoin conference. As long as Trump remains a front-runner, this is a potential catalyst for 'something to happen' this week. The derivative markets seem to agree, and we’re seeing pricing support the 'something is about to happen' narrative." Greg Magadini, director of derivatives at Amberdata, said in an email.

This fight will not be in Netflix anymore, this will be a payperview on DAZN. However, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson on November will be on Netflix. It appears Netflix has a contract only if the opponent is Mike Tyson.

Yes, Netflix is with Mike Tyson fight and so Jake Paul has to scramble and look for DAZN to televise this fight via PPV, but it's very expensive so I guess majority of boxing fans here are not going to watch the fight live or not willing to pay that much.

In any case, have the sportsbooks underestimated Mike Perry for this fight or have they overestimated Jake Paul? Jake Paul's first loss is against real fighter, Tommy Fury. Mike Perry is also a real fighter and his odds to get the victory is 4.50 hehehehhee.

I don't think that the odd makers underestimate or overestimate the odds.

Here are the weigh-in:



So they try to put hype on this fight during the weigh-in so that there will be something to talk about.

It appears that you made the correct assessment hehehe. This Jake Paul in cruiserweight appears to be much bigger than Mike Perry. I am sorry, I was very much mistaken.

In any case, this victory with a knockout might create a more thrilling sensations for the fans on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson! However, will this also make Mike Tyson afraid of Jake Paul? I am afraid for Mike Tyson because we might witness a heart attack or a stroke live on Netflix.

They do not like this pump because it is the Trump pump.
Bitcoin adopters should be careful when giving so much importance to a determined politician or celebrity regards fluctuations in Bitcoin price, because they are centralizing it around a figure of power who is only concerned about his own personal interests and profits.

I remember few years ago we also had the Elon Musk pump, when Tesla started accepting BTC as payment method, but what we saw right after was the Elon Musk dump, as he badmouthed Bitcoin usage as currency, and removed the payment feature from Tesla, crashing BTC in the sequence. Now Bitcoin enthusiasts are repeating the same story with Trump.

It's halving year and high prices were already expected even if Trump wasn't talking anything about it. Of course it's good to see BTC rising, and the support from the most powerful nation in the world is welcome. I just think Bitcoin shouldn't become an hostage.

I very much agree. However, there is a difference between Elon and Trump. Elon was only a mascot but Trump if he keeps his promises on his administration being more accepting of bitcoin and the cryptospace, this might cause one of the biggest bull market pumps we have witnessed. Also, there will be no more uncle Gary and his crackdowns hehehehe.

@Timelord2067. Was Biden's removal from the election offered in sportsbooks? There was a prediction market of this in Polymarket and I reckon it was known already that Biden would retire because the winning prize if you bet was only very small.
69  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing, the Trump pump is beginning on: July 22, 2024, 02:08:21 AM

However, there are very much many crooks who are also behind Biden hhehehe. One of them is a small crook called the Sam Bankman Fraud who was one of the biggest donator to the Democratic party hehehe.


SBF was put in prison under Biden.

Democrats are for law and order, even if it means their own donors.

Meanwhile, Trump pardoned anybody who would donate money to him, including Bannon, who was convicted of ripping off.... Trump supporters.

Democrats are for law and order, and Republicans favor corruption.

Quote

It was also speculated that the billions that were sent to Ukraine were laundered in FTX and this was sent back to America. But if the argument is it has not been sent back to America, we can be quite certain that there is a chance that the Ukrainian politicians have gotten some of this.


Gee, if you listen to the Kremlin I'm betting you'll hear all sorts of things about Ukraine...

Quote

I am not arguing that there should be no support for Ukraine. I am arguing that the crooks are everywhere and we cannot accuse that only one side is dirty because Biden might also be supported by the biggest crooks.


There is no evidence that Biden is "supported by crooks".

Trump has been found guilty of criminal behavior in a court of law by a jury of his peers.






Hehehehehehee I am very much aware that Sam Bankman Fraud, who was one of the biggest Democrat supporter was imprisoned. However, he was still one of the biggest donors of the Democrats and if he was not exposed from his scam, this would certainly would have continued and his donations would also very much certainly continued heheheheheheehhehh from a crook.

In any case, this is a useless argument because Trump and Biden are crooks who are supported by crooks. I only want the pump on my cryptocoins. If this is the Biden pump or the Trump pump, I do not care. Presently it is the Trump pump hehehehehehhe. It has begun.

~snip~
I disagree, Biden's ratings in the polls where much higher than 20%. I reckon they were 40% or higher, however, it was lower than 50%. The odds on Polymarket were very much similar also.

We can be quite certain that before the assassination attempt, Biden had a chance to win despite his old age and his dementia that was shown during the debate against Trump.

It is a bit strange but I've seen waves of support for one candidate or another in the mainstream media all around the world.

It seems like they are in control of someone and they are changing their mind.

Also strange is that you rarely hear anything about the actual presidential promises, you only hear about how bad the other candidate is.

I can almost guarantee that most people that will vote don't really have a clear idea of the projects that will be done in their candidate's term, but they will know that the other one is bad.

The voters already have a clear decision on who they will be voting on November. They cannot be convinced to vote for the bad candidate because they already have decided years or months before the election. However, will bitcoiners vote for Biden while they know that he will be bad for bitcoin and the cryptospace? They very much will, I reckon. They do not like this pump because it is the Trump pump. This is very headshaking behavior because these politicians do not care about you. They only serve the real rulers of the country. These real rulers are the people who own much of the wealth, who own the largest companies, who own the largest lands. They own the politicians and they own you. You have owners.
72  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Bets! on: July 20, 2024, 02:33:20 AM
It’s going to be Trump and it should be Trump. Biden isn’t fit to serve another term, he will probably not even know who his wife is by the end of another term.

I look forward to a Bitcoin friendly administration coming very soon.

On the argument of fitness to be a president and lead the country, I very much agree that Trump should be the first choice if the choices are only Trump or Biden. On the argument of a bitcoin friendly administration, this is presently arguable. We will certainly only witness this through his actions and his people's actions. No.1 action I would like to see is Trump or someone from his cabinet to tell uncle Gary to stop the crackdowns on the whole of the cryptospace hehehehe.

Elon Musk has said he plans to commit around $45 million a month to a new super political-action committee backing former President Donald Trump’s presidential run, according to people familiar with the matter
Looks like crooks always find each other and help each other as well specially if they are the rich oligarchs.

It's interesting to point out that in a topic about positive stance on Bitcoin, it is brought up that the Elon FUD Musk is helping Trump, the same Musk that has spread a lot of FUD about bitcoin Wink

The skeptical me is beginning to speculate that this procryptoness of the team of Trump might be because they are antiCBDC and antibanker. Why do they do this? It might be because the proCBDC and the bankers are supporting Biden hehehehehe. Trump might be telling himself if they do not support me then they are my enemies. He will use bitcoin and the cryptospace to create a setting where there will be more competition against the proCBDC and the probankers hehehehe.

Trump does not need the votes of the cryptospace community anymore, his victory on November is a certainty.

Nobody wants CBDCs. Especially when they are a threat to your financial privacy. This is a plan from the deep state to increase government surveillance. And Trump is completely against the deep state. His party aligns more with the values of freedom. Trump chose well by siding with the crypto industry. It will give him the boost he needs to win the election. We'll see.

Whoever wins the presidency, you can feel confident Bitcoin won't be going anywhere soon. It will survive thanks to the way it was designed. Hopefully, it'll stay decentralized forever. Cheesy

We are talking about politicians who support CBDCs and the skeptical me thinks that the politicians who are not declaring that they are against this, might be proCBDC. Also, the anticrypto politicians like the grandmas Elizabeth Warren and Janet Yellen, I am quite certain that they are proCBDC similar to the president of the central bank of Europe.

On whoever wins the presidency, if the campaign promises are kept, we can be quite certain that the cryptospace will pump much higher on a Trump presidency than a Biden presidency where uncle Gary will continue his crackdown.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin betting on the 2024 US Presidential Election - Biden ... or ... ? on: July 18, 2024, 05:49:58 AM
Donald Trump is clearly a valid option to be a candidate, as he was a former president.

And the latest events, with him dodging a bullet makes him a hero somewhat to some people.

So, we will see what happens in the election, but so far I think Donald Trump seems to be the most popular candidate today.

I would say that before this incident (assassination attempt), Biden (or for that matter any other Democrat candidate) had somewhere around 10-20% chance of winning the POTUS elections later this year. After the botched assassination attempt, that has gone down to 1-2%. Given this, I don't think that Harris will risk replacing Biden this time. If she loses, then her chances for the 2028 election may get negatively impacted. The same can be said about Newsom or Michelle. So it is almost certain that Biden will be the Democrat nominee.

I disagree, Biden's ratings in the polls where much higher than 20%. I reckon they were 40% or higher, however, it was lower than 50%. The odds on Polymarket were very much similar also.

We can be quite certain that before the assassination attempt, Biden had a chance to win despite his old age and his dementia that was shown during the debate against Trump.

I'm pretty convinced at this point that Trump will win the 2024 US presidential election.  In my humble opinion both are completely unfit for office, both due their age as well as both clearly have a cognitive decline (especially Joe Biden).  

If the democrats want to have any chance of winning, they need to get Biden out of the race ASAP.  He shouldn't have been there to begin with.  Just blow my mind really.

I very much agree on your argument on the both of them! However, we should take care of ourselves and our investments in the cryptospace. Who will bring a pump on the cryptospace, will it be Trump or Biden? It appears that presently it is Trump.

On Biden being removed as the Democrats' candidate, if you put yourself in Biden's situation on being an old man with dementia, would you want to run for president or spend time with your grandchildren?

Or let's put it this way, the lesser of two evil as far as crypto goes? It will be Trump for sure. And then he get a VP that is pro crypto, so what can you ask for me from Trump, he played very well in this election and his chances almost leap up with he got Vance as his running mate,

That's why my question is the other thread is that what the US voters will value more?

their political beliefs or them being a pro-crypto voters?

We cannot create a determination who is the lesser evil, however, we can be quite certain that the government is one of the biggest causes why many people in a country are poor. I only like Trump because there is the Trump pump. If there was a Biden pump where he will declare support for bitcoin and the cryptospace then we should support Joe Biden. If the Donald Trump and Joe Biden together support bitcoin and the cryptospace then we should not support any of them hehehehe. We will thank them, however.

They have election violence and killings in 3rd world countries it is very headshaking to witness something like this in America.
Do they? So far I've seen most violence in these supposedly "first world" countries. For example the cases of assassination attempts of the last 5 US presidents inside US soil are the following:
  • Clinton (January 21, 1994 and October 29, 1994 and October 2018)
  • George W. Bush (May 10, 2005 and May 24, 2022)
  • Obama (December 2008 and November 2011 and October 2012 and April 2013 and June 2013 and October 2018)
  • Trump (September 6, 2017 and July 13, 2024),
  • Biden (May 23, 2023)

You can find a lot more in Wikipedia. I'm honestly surprised when people are surprised about violence in the birthplace of violence known as United States of America!

Also, there are speculations that the assassinator did it without support. But we cannot also stop speculating that there was more behind this, however. Who will be benefitted if Trump was killed?
He definitely had support. The only elevated position there was that building and standard procedure was not applied there which is to place someone up there.

Who benefits? The US regime as I predicted it 2 years ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5503011.0

However, it is still very much headshaking for a more advanced, richer and more civilized first world country to have this type of election violence. In developing countries, there are news of election violence on those candidates that are running for lower positions in government. In America, the violence is against a presidential candidate? Who will directly benefit on Trump's assassination?

In any case, Elon Musk will donate $45 million every month on a super PAC that supports Trump.

It's getting interesting. I hope Mr Trump wins. He's smarter than Mr Biden. Not just because of crypto

https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1811181306438660375

https://ibb.co/y0ngGjW

It's the first time a former president will be attending a Bitcoin conference. Trump hopes to gather the attention of crypto enthusiasts for Election Day. With the Winklevoss twins and Elon Musk backing Trump, there's a high chance he will take back the White House by 2025.   What could go wrong? A second Trump term would be extremely-bullish for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Unlike Biden, Trump promises to treat the crypto industry lightly. We've all seen what's happening in this administration. Especially with Uncle Gary (SEC chairman Gary Gensler) hunting down crypto exchanges for listing "unregistered securities". It's said that Trump's VP pick (J.D. Vance) is pro-crypto. Only 5 months left for the Elections. The suspense is killing me... Smiley

The skeptical me is beginning to speculate that this procryptoness of the team of Trump might be because they are antiCBDC and antibanker. Why do they do this? It might be because the proCBDC and the bankers are supporting Biden hehehehehe. Trump might be telling himself if they do not support me then they are my enemies. He will use bitcoin and the cryptospace to create a setting where there will be more competition against the proCBDC and the probankers hehehehe.

Trump does not need the votes of the cryptospace community anymore, his victory on November is a certainty.


with all the money the Biden administration printed, they could but the entire swing states to favor him. and he is still winning i think another assasination attempt could happen. maybe this time the whole boeng plane will crash to marlago palace.

helping Trump win is also the adoption of crypto even for just a brief of time. making Bitcoin on the mainstream news.




Hehehehe another assassination attack would certainly make it very much clear that there is desperation in the team of Joe Biden. It will also make it also clear that the first assassination attempt was not done alone by the shooter. This is a planned assassination, who are the enemies of Trump and who will directly benefit on his death?

Also, another shooting attack vs. Trump will certainly cause more violence and it might become a civil war. Has everyone watched the movie Civil War directed by Alex Garland? It is a very good movie.

In any case, @everyone who will be in the conference in Nashville. People should help prevent a civil war in America by helping secure Trump and also for the Trump pump to continue hehehehe.

@joniboini. It can also be argued that Trump has chosen JD Vance to be his running mate because Trump thinks JD Vance is the most qualified candidate to become his vice president. Trump did not care if Vance has disapproved of him before. He only wanted the most qualified man to be his vice president hhehehe.

Also, JD Vance is only 39 years old, after 4 years he will be 43 years old and he will be qualified to run for president. I speculate Trump is preparing Vance to be his replacement. This might imply a Vance pump after Trump pump hehehehehh.
