7261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]Joshua Greer Jr. vs. Mike Plania on: June 16, 2020, 11:59:07 PM

@Baofeng, what's your take on this one bro?
  

Too much hype around this kid to be honest, he doesn't show us anything yet, he is a slow starter. And it Plania will push in the early rounds (1-3) and really make Greer uncomfortable, he might caught him and change the complexion of the fight. Greer was caught with a check left hook during his last fight against Nieves, and almost go down. I'm sure Mike Plania's team have seen that video and for sure he will throw a lot of lefts in this fight. I will put a bet on Mike Plania here, good odds. I also don't like Greer's cockiness, reminds me of AB (Adrien Broner) when we was just making a name for himself.  Smiley

7263  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why quality tokens play a key role to crypto exchange? on: June 14, 2020, 03:05:07 PM
I agree. Quality tokens is ESSENTIAL in an exchange. It's like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft in stocks. Without them the exchange is close to worthless because those tokens is the reason why the market fluctuates the way it is now. Remove that you take 60-70% of the marketcap.

We can't really define what Quality tokens are, the OP listed a good indicator, but I shitcoins can easily pass that test. We have seen a lot of scam projects in the past that can easily be considered as quality token based on that scope alone. And it's going to be very hard to detect early on, unless it is too late. The only thing we can do is to look at where these supposedly quality tokens are going to be listed. If they listed it on Binance or any other good exchanges, then we might consider the project as serious, but still I still have doubts if that alone can filter out good projects or not.

Hi there everyone that came in.
i really want to know that is there any site to report a fraud? Like maybe having a chance of getting your scammed money back. Please, those who knew this please answer this topic.
*I got scammed so thats why ;/*

Unfortunately, there's no way for you to get your money back. Every crypto transaction are irreversible, and sorry to hear that you have been scammed, everyone here has been scammed one time or another.

Let that be a lesson to you and be sure to learn from it.

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?

Yes, I have an agricultural land I acquire like 9 years ago and I'm not going to sell it even it we are in a pandemic or not. Too valuable and it is a great investment, and I made money out of it, harvesting twice a year, and in turn help a lot of farmers in our province. And usually here, this is a very old and traditional way of giving it as an inheritance for your children and the next generations to come. So it will be a big loss on your end of you sell it. You can also be self-sufficient and can generate different crops. So there's a lot of positive if you have this kind of land.

So another big investment firm, Wilshire Phoenix has filed for a "FORM S-1 REGISTRATION STATEMENT

.

So let's wait if this is going to be approved and see if it can bring positive effect to the market. And will probably compete with Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

So here are the numbers:

Magdaleno vs Yenifel Vicente - the telecast peaked at 392,000 viewers, average 311,000 viewers
Stevenson vs Caraballo - the telecast peaked at 609,000 viewers, average at 397,000 viewer

https://www.boxingscene.com/magdaleno-vicente-espn-telecast-peaked-392k-viewers-averaged-311k--149472

I would say not bad after-all, this is just the first fight telecast live in this pandemic, just imagine if these are top tier fighters, I'm sure it can go as high as 1 million viewers on average.

Yeah, not bad at all. Just curious if Top Rank did profit on those fights or it's just a gimme by Bob Arum to the followers of the sweet science.

For top tier fighters, IMO they will wait until audience could watch to generate more revenue from the gate.

Arum is good at hiding his numbers  Smiley, he may say publicly that he didn't profit in those fights, but if you are not aware of, Arum is a practicing tax lawyer. Before becoming a boxing promoter, he served at the Justice Department under Kennedy's administration, and he is the one who prosecuted the allegedly tax evasion case of Roy Cohn, a boxing promoter, who made tons of money from the Sonny Liston and Floyd Patterson. And that open his eyes about boxing promotions.

He was a victim of Warning: Fake KeepKey App Phishing Attempts.

So this is just a reminder to everyone that you really need to be very careful on installing any supposedly chrome apps.

Damn, it's 12 BTC and according to him, it took him 7 years to accumulate it and this money is to supposedly buy him apartment.

So this is the second time in a month that cyber criminals have targeted NitrogenSports for this so called Firefox addons. And it's good that you have caught it before someone created an account and spread this scam in this community. I also did check NitrogenSports and it seems they are all aware of this potential malicious attempts using their name as there are warning banners when you login to their platform already.
7272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any use for failed cryptos? on: June 12, 2020, 05:19:42 PM
Any use for coins/tokens of defunct projects like Synereo/Hyperspace (AMP) and others?

Yes, they can be included in this list, https://deadcoins.com.

Seriously, common sense dictates that can there are no used for them anymore. Perhaps we can learn from their mistakes or developers look at what they failed and not create similar projects with no use case at all.

And I would say that majority of coins/tokens that has been hype around 2017 could be dead by now or in the process of dying.
7273  Other / Beginners & Help / The importance of using different emails for your crypto related activity on: June 12, 2020, 08:24:01 AM
It's already June and we have seen many exploits/hacks/breaches already. And we have read in news that hackers are dumping personal information to the public or selling them in the dark market (specially crypto users).

Some of them might be false, however, this is still a threat that is highlighted many times already and as crypto users, we really need to practice safety measures of our own. Below are some of the supposedly data dumps in recent months.


How is this important to us?

These data dumps can be used by hackers by:

  • they can directly access your crypto account and steal everything from you
  • worst case scenario, your address is exposed and you can be a target at your physical home
  • the leak emails can be cross-reference to other data breaches in the past, and it you didn't practice having different strong passwords, they have decrypted it quickly, and can go a process of elimination by logging to different crypto related sites like exchanges and online wallets to get what they want from you

Best practices:

  • use strong and random password for your different email accounts
  • use a good password manager
  • 2FA



This is just a reminder, regardless if you are a beginner here or experienced traders. We really need to practice security hygiene to minimise the risk of being hack as these bad actors are really stepping the game every time. Please let me know, I may have missed a lot here, help me update this list.
7274  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: SEC asset freeze "Modern Money Team" on: June 11, 2020, 10:57:42 PM
I've heard such scam schemes involving trading forex, stocks and cryptocurrencies. They're making it as a trading company that generates huge money which they can front to their upcoming and interested investors. That's where the scam goes, they'll create fake win trades so they can attract their investors. SEC should just return the money to the victims.

It's more prevalent to forex and stocks in the past. But when cryptocurrencies started to enter the picture specially in 2017, there's a lot of scams schemes being pulled by those actors, but only a few have been caught in recent times because of the nature of crypto. But it seems that US SEC is changing that perception because they have been extending their hands to those scammers this year. No doubt that SEC, once they are done with their investigations and the full hands of the law has been handed, they will return what is due to those victims here.
7275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase Called Out on Twitter for Working with IRS and DEA on: June 11, 2020, 06:26:13 PM
There's one Twitter poll by crypto analyst/trader John Roger about this issue:

Twitter polls have little to do with reality because of the huge bias that they have - it's better to look at Coinbase wallets and see if they grow thinner or no.

But you can get a good gauge at the current sentiments of crypto traders on this issue/accusations against Coinbase. I don't know if there are services that track Coinbase or any other exchanges wallet.

To the OP, it will be good if you can add a poll and see what the feeling of this community as well and see if there are "bias" as well.

Anthony Joshua Suffers Left Knee Injury, Marches For Black Lives Matter In Watford

Quote
Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has suffered a left knee injury that will sideline him for at least the next four weeks, promoter Eddie Hearn told BoxingScene.com on Saturday.

https://www.boxingscene.com/anthony-joshua-suffers-left-knee-injury-marches-black-lives-matter-watford--149332

So the reports say he suffered an injury on his knees. But we all know that his fight will Pulev is going to be push and reschedule so ample time for Joshua to recover and then resume his training. Or as @JollyGood pointed out, it might not happen at all.

Four weeks is not long enough to recover, and since there is no fix date for this fight, they can still make this fight possible next month of the following month, this fight was already postponed, so there is no pressure at all, we just have to be thankful that it was just a minor injury.

There will be fights that are scheduled this month already, so let's see how this goes first.

Yes, that's the good news, there's no pressure on Joshua to make a quick recovery on his supposedly knee injury. And we don't want to hear excuses coming from him because of this one. He can take his sweet time to heal, recover and be back 100% on this fight, or whoever fighter he is going to face in the next coming months.

@Kemarit - the all British showdown is bound to happen though, regardless of the pandemic or not. There's too much money to be made if this fight are going to be finalised in paper.
7278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Betting this June? on: June 10, 2020, 11:11:14 PM
Shakur Stevenson was too much for Felix Caraballo as the former stops him in the 6th round of their 10-round non title fight in Las Vegas.

Yes, too accurate, that body shot is beautiful.  Smiley

Interesting to note on this card that Robeisy Ramirez also won against Yeuri Andujar via first round stoppage. Ramirez was the one who beat Stevenson on their showdown in the finals of the 2016 Olympic Games. These two fighters might cross path in pro boxing in the near future.

I also wanted to see this fight in pro. I'm sure Stevenson wanted to show who really deserves the gold medal in 2016 games if they rematch as a pro boxer now.

IMO, the first act of Bob Arum was successful, kudos to him for making boxing up on it's feet on this time of pandemic.

Next card will be on June 11, 2020 and it will feature Jessie Magdaleno and Vicente Yenifel on the main event.

I was looking for inputs from boxing analyst regarding this fight. So far I haven't seen any negative press, so for now we can call this a successful event.
7279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Reasons Why I Prefer a Bitcoin Mobile Wallet on: June 10, 2020, 10:44:35 PM
I'm looking at this list: Best budget smartphone 2020: the top cheap mobiles around. And it's not cheap though, price ranging from $100-$300. So that's still expensive as compare to the price of hardware wallets today. So the argument that they are expensive are not true at all. Besides, keeping your mobile wallet will always be "online", multiply the risk that you are exposed to cyber criminals and loss your crypto in an instant specially if you're not careful and don't have this safety practice.
