After starting the month off with a nice pump, I feel October will be bullish for Bitcoin. After remaining stable for so long anything above $30k seems overly optimistic. $28k and above seems very reasonable. The U.S. avoiding a government shutdown should have a positive impact on investor confidence. Bitcoin whales are continuing to accumulate so I anticipate upward momentum as we head towards the halving.

The seconds story is pretty insane. He wants to use AI and robot dogs and is being backed by hedge fund investors. I can see why his city council would be reluctant to accept his proposal. If I was a landfill worker I would probably be upset about having my work disrupted by a guy hoping to get rich quick. I can understand his desperation but he isn't entitled to any help that would massively inconvenience many peoples lives in order to correct his mistake.

The longer it takes for governments to decide how they want to regulate Bitcoin the harder it will be for them to ban it entirely. People have already seen the benefits that Bitcoin provides. It has gained enough adoption that politicians are trying to cater to that demographic. In order to secure support from those that Bitcoin appeals to they must do everything within their power to push back against those who are opposed to financial freedom.

Sideshift.ai, FixedFloat.com and SimpleSwap.io all support Tron version of USDT as well as Monero. I've used them all without KYC but if you read their terms of service they all mention the possibility of denying your exchange if you are suspected of criminal activity.

In terms of skill Benavidez isn't a whole lot better than Charlo but he has other advantages. He is a natural super middleweight, he is younger, he is 6'2" (1.88 m), and is a bigger puncher than Canelo. Benavidez could easily be fighting at light heavyweight. He is not somebody that Canelo can just manhandle and impose his will through brute force. Canelo will have to outbox Benavidez but he's not nearly as fast and gets hit a lot more than when he was at his peak. It's a fight that can go either way but I favor Benavidez slightly.

Benavidez is the only fighter worth mentioning. A rematch with Bivol would be a one sided snoozefest. Crawford is too small and would lose similarly to Charlo. Benavidez never lost his belt in the ring and is the current mandatory. Canelo said he didn’t care who was next so there is no excuse for Haymon not to make the fight everybody wants to see.

I believe it is still possible to use Tornado Cash although you will likely encounter problems if you later try to send your mixed coins to a centralized service due to U.S. sanctions.
If your USDT is on Ethereum there is Railgun which can be used to shield your tokens. You can use decentralized exchanges to make a few private swaps and then move those funds into an unshielded wallet.

Charlo is the same age as Canelo so age doesn't matter much. Canelo does have twice as many fights and maybe all that activity and punishment has worn him down more significantly than Charlo. Even a diminished Canelo is still considered one of the best fighters in the world and should be capable enough to win convincingly. Charlo is no pushover but if he's going life and death against guys like Harrison and Castano then it's just impossible to see him doing enough to upset Canelo.

They probably invested in some altcoins after buying into the 'flippening' hype and got rekt. I'm not familiar with the users you mention but that kind of obsessive negativity towards Bitcoin is typical of many shitcoiners. These people like Peter Schiff hate Bitcoin so much that they make themselves look like clowns by making the most outlandish claims about Bitcoin going to zero whenever there is a big dip only to be proven wrong soon after when there is a major rally.

I have a feeling Dana might have been exaggerating a little. He even admits at the end of the article that he isn't banned, they just don't want him gambling. Gamblers don't have any legal protection whenever a casino decides to ban them unless they discriminate you based on disability, gender or race. Casinos are just like any other private business and can decide to deny you service for whatever reason. Dana White might be considered high risk for casinos because with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars he can always bet the maximum and clean them out if he was on a hot streak.

He was caught on video recently hitting his wife in a nightclub so it's possible that he was banned due to his drunken, violent behavior.

Craig only manages to remain in the headlines because he somehow managed to fool Calvin Ayre into funding his scamming. He lost the case filed against him by Dave Kleiman’s family and owes them over $100 million although it’s unlikely he ever owned the BTC they were fighting over and he will just try and drag this out as much as possible. 

Craig is a scumbag who will keep harassing Bitcoiners with frivolous lawsuits. Maybe these recent losses has some of his backers thinking they are on a sinking ship and that is why they are abandoning him.

My first wallet was a web wallet which I no longer have access to. It is easy not to feel much guilt about my past spending when I have no way of examining those details, although I’m sure I spent what would now be worth thousands on some really minor purchases.

I am really glad that web wallets have become mostly obsolete and people are choosing to custody their funds on their own devices.

Blocks that don't get included in the main chain are not rewarded on Bitcoin like they are on some altcoin chains. The invalid block would have caused a temporary chain split but the chain which included the block from Marathon would have quickly died off because it is following incompatible rules and nobody would have continued mining on that chain. After the block is rejected from the valid chain everything continues as if it never existed and its transactions remain unconfirmed in the mempool until they're included in a valid block.

People always fall for cheap talking points when it reinforces their preferred narrative. It was always obvious that Fury was looking for the best possible deal and wasn't going to give in to unreasonable demands.

I've always believed that Fury would defeat Usyk in dominant fashion and I still stand by that. Fury will use his size to wear Usyk down and stop him in the middle to late rounds. I don't think Usyk is capable of seriously hurting him so Fury might also opt for a more reckless strategy and try to finish the fight early for a more emphatic victory.

I've only used ViaBTC because it was free. I've never used a paid service. I would rather just wait or RBF my transaction. I was interested in mempool.space's accelerator which they demonstrated at the Bitcoin 2023 conference but they have yet to launch it. Binance also has an accelerator where they partner with different pools. https://pool.binance.com/en/acceleration

Their heights might be somewhat deceiving. We've seen Tank Davis fight taller fighters who were coming up to his weight but it was still a mismatch because of the power difference and being better acclimated to the weight. Canelo is used to fighting bigger and stronger fighters like Kovalev, Callum Smith, and Caleb Plant. Charlo might be able to make weight comfortably but that does not mean he will be able to sustain the punches from Canelo who is by far the heaviest hitter he has faced.

Aside from the obvious red flags from these newbie accounts trying to promote this, I would not trust any random person on Telegram claiming to be a reputable escrow an another platform unless they were able to use PGP to verify themselves. Telegram handles can change ownership as was the case with Houbi exchange's old Telegram account which now belongs to a scammer.

I can’t imagine why a blackface wearing Nazi sympathizer would want to limit people’s free access to information. In his mind Canadians need to be protected from Russian disinformation i.e., anything that makes him look bad, by being manipulated into having opinions which are deemed acceptable to the establishment.

The WBC always manages to insert themselves into these high profile events by creating special belts. I'm not sure if they're trying to milk these fighters for some sanctioning fees or if it's some sort of publicity stunt.

I've seen some footage of Ngannou training and he is in great shape and he seems really motivated. Even though money was his primary reason for challenging Fury I don't think it's the only reason. He wants to prove that he is taking this seriously and I expect him to have a much better performance than MMA fighters like Ben Askren and Nate Diaz who barely even bothered to train.

After seeing Canelo's recent performances I would be hyped up too if I was Charlo. Canelo is coming from the loss to Bivol and lackluster decision wins against an old GGG and fringe contender John Ryder. The Canelo we have seen recently seems vulnerable. I'm just not too convinced about Charlo having what it takes to defeat a Canelo in decline. His inactivity and being in a new weight class are significant disadvantages. Despite being undisputed, Charlo has never been regarded too highly and is rarely included in any pound for pound lists. This is due to 154 being a weak division that has not allowed him to transcend in the sport.
