I voted for $40k  - $45k.

It's a conservative estimates for me, and I chooses this price range because it seems that the somewhat the bullish sentiments has stop as we have been in the sideways again. So this could last maybe a couple of weeks or until This November. It's not that bad though, maybe we are just gathering another momentum and if there is a big news in the December then we can simply shoot up again to $40,000 as this is the biggest resistance.

LOL, you are in the same campaign and yet you don't see that he has not been paid since June because he suddenly disappeared. He still carry the signature though because obviously he didn't removed it.

So very unfortunate @Shasan, he used to be a good campaign manager here in 2017, then suddenly disappeared, and then in the last year, resurfaces and was able to join signature campaigns because of that reputation. Not saying that it was his plan all along to scam when he comes back, but it likely was in his mind and took a big loan of $1000.

Supported the flag.

But even if you have self-control you can still lose in gambling. What if you have bad luck, losing successively like 5 days in row? So you can't do anything about it, even if you say that you have self-control. And with that, you still need to some luck in your side as it beats strategy. I know it's going to be controversial statement, but games like slot machines, if all the stars align with you, even with just a small bet, you can win win, grand or major jackpot.

That's why it's really hard to get that opportunity, another example is lottery, yeah there could be people who won multiple times in a lottery, but I think majority won because that time, when they bet, everything just fall into places.

That might be the case as it is already reported that it will be a double header fight,

- Fury vs Usyk
- Joshua vs Wilder

Bust since Fury is not going to be physically available on December it changes the picture of the undercard as well. There were reports that Wilder wanted to go to England to chase Joshua, not sure if he did continue with this plan. Seems he didn't go though as this reports resurfaces that they are going to fight a different opponent this December as tune up fight. Hopefully they will be ready in February and should come out unscathed against Otto Wallin and Joseph Parker.

I don't think there are numbers that we should confined ourselves, as majority of us here are just average joe and regular investors. What's important is that how much you can save and accumulate in your wallet and how much you have profited already if you have been for at least 1 bitcoin cycle already.

If you are interested on the distribution, you can check it out here:

And so everyone can see where you at with that statistics.

Yes, we have survived the first decade without any promotions, hence that why in the beginning there are a lot of attacks on bitcoin and calling it names. But I guess this makes Bitcoin more stronger, as they keep on attacking it even at this point, we don't bother by it and just continue to buy and accumulate and now we have a country that make its legal. But if there are individuals who are going to promote it, let's say Michael Saylor, obviously he has some narrative behind. He is one of the biggest whales so far, so indeed he has to make a sales pitch whether he can, be it in his social media or going out in public to talk about BTC. But for us just average joe and ordinary investors, we might cross path with other people that might ask questions regarding Bitcoin and answer them the with the knowledge that we have. However, it's not a direct promotion, we will simply want people to discover it and hopefully make the (right) decision to invest.

Yes, he was about that age if I'm also not mistaken, so he is way past his prime and about to get out of boxing. But he gave Fury a good fight even. Wlad in his prime is very scary and I think it was the first time that we have seen a HW boxer with a body builder physique, he was a different specimen when he and his brother arrived in the HW scene.


True, there's no more enigma between the two, they have been broken already specially AJ, beaten twice by the same fighter, and then Ruiz take that 0 from him. Wilder though still possessed a one punch KO and we all know that AJ's chin has been broken. So if Wilder hits that chin square, he will go down and maybe he will be taken out with just and kiss the canvass for good.

Yes, and with that, the bullish sentiments will go and continue for this month. We have reach almost $39,000 and I wouldn't be surprised if by Monday when everything is back we could make another push to it or even the next round numbers - $40,000 which is going to be big for us if we touches that this month.

Nevertheless,  we have a lot of time till the end of the year.

And there are a lot of things that might come, a very positive news that will push the market to at least $45,000-$50,000 pre-halving price. However, I do hope that there will be no selling at December as usually there could be some investors wanted to take profits for Christmas and New Year holidays.

This is just one case though, there could be other countries that have been losing more if we a look at the GDP and the amount of money they are losing. So it's not only Greece that are attracted to gambling. On the other hand Macau for example is really benefiting from gambling, as they are one of  the Mecca of gambling. Gamblers goes to that country to play and in term it generates a lot of money for them and their government.

Here are some numbers in 2017:



https://www.statista.com/statistics/552821/gambling-losses-per-adult-by-country-worldwide/

And now we understand why Australia's government right now is implementing ways to curb their gambling addiction. This data is 6 years old, so it could be that the numbers are higher now.

I'm also not familiar with using LN, however I have been using Electrum and obviously it has implemented LN already. So I'm willing to learn LN and looking at the https://boltz.exchange/swap to swap LN BTC to Onchain BTC.

And I would agree that it's the better option for now if the fees continue to go up. I do agree with @BenCodie, even if we are going to be paid with onchain Bitcoin either by 2 weeks or 4 weeks (a month), it is still going to be expensive.

I also think that maybe stablecoin like TRC-20 might be a good alternative.

I don't know but maybe it's just me, but I don't see any similarity on my end?


Well it's good if we are going to see another signature campaign from a crypto based online casinos. And it's just proper that it will be in this great community. Yes, there are a lot of competition out there and for sure BitUbet.com knows it.

But we will have to wait and see if Royse if going to handle it, as he put a disclaimer that this ANN thread is manage by the team themselves, and Royse responsibility is to post this thread. Although they could have been advised to buy a copper membership and they can post it themselves.

In any case, welcome to the community and hopefully you will stay here. Best of luck to your new casino.

Not sure though if he has lost his PPV or popularity as he continue to make a lot of money even at that lost. So he still continue to look for boxers that he thinks he can beat, in this case a relatively unknown but has a lot of experience with the name of August. And so with his hype still very high, he needs to take advantage of his name and milk his "boxing fans" to buy his fights and then make millions.

And he is not a bad promoter as well, a savvy business man. So who knows after his career in exhibitions fights, maybe he can go professional someday. But for now, he is slowly getting into it, looking for a fight against a not so bad boxer.

Yes, what another big increased for us, I'm seeing that $37,000 will be broken within the week as the investors right now is pouring their money on the market. Bad side though is that the fees are somewhat very high. And as I have said previously, someone looks like is doing it deliberately, to sabotage the network when we are about to break another important barrier which is $40,000.

So payment is needed from all of us and hopefully the network will be back to normal. But going back to the price, short term or at least at the end of the year, it's better to see and focus on the $40,000-$50,000. We don't know to have a big surge although we can't really stop it from happening if the ecosystem goes to $60,000. But we want a a price that we can maintain before the pre-halving and that could be around $40,000-$50,000.

And with that meeting, maybe it's just a matter of time before an approval will be there. Again, there could be huge pressures on the shoulder of SEC right now as the entities that are asking for approval are not just simply entities but they are huge in the financial world with trillions of dollars between this companies so they really weld huge influence even at a government regulars like SEC.

@hugeblack - yeah everything is pure speculation right now, but it sometimes fuels this bullish sentiments on the market. And I think it's one reason why we almost close to $36,000 right now.

I don't think that you have to risk that. I mean if you are in a workplace, anyone can see what you are doing in your screen, not even your boss. So it's very hard to play even at lunch break. Although I will admit that there are moments that when I'm working, I will sneak out of the company go to a casino very near like 5 minutes drive. Then I will get back to the office once the break is over.


This is controversial. I mean there are gamblers that will do anything to continue to their addictions. And one of them are borrowing money from either a bank or a person. But then again this is another risk for them. Taking loans and then pay it whenever they own. But then again, what if they lose? How can they pay it? So the decision of a gambling is very clouded but they could be willing to go this route.

Yes, as per mempool the fees are:



And it looks like this is a coordinate attack in the last couple of weeks to really increased the fees and make the bitcoin network not usable for ordinary investors. We have this kind of situation before if I'm not mistaken, around May and we didn't do anything about it but just to wait for this whole BRC-20 ordinals to die down. But now they are at it again. Specially the timing though, when we are about to make a good run, some entities will have to ruined it.

Baguio seems to be a like comparable to Big Bear in the US, high altitude and boxers train there to improved this stamina and improved their breathing. Plus it's quiet and there are no distractions, but I doubt that Baguio City is like that.

But in any case that's what the team wanted to achieved here, improved the gas tank of Tapales as for sure he will need a lot of it facing the monster. And for sure the climate in Baguio is cold and so is in Japan this December. So it's more for Tapales taking advantage of the weather and altitude of Baguio they could train intense there so that when they go out and fight, he will be acclimate in Japan's weather.

And that is why there are boxing fans saying that he is one of the most avoided fighters right now in his division. His fans though should understand where he is coming from as far as the Haney fight goes. Shakur says that the Haney's are hiding on the fact that they don't want any of him by low balling Shakur, like 75/25 or 80/20 as other might say.

And then supposedly Frank Martin, another up and coming good fighter at 135 lbs, agreed in principle but then when the contract is offer, his team suddenly turn it down.

So he has to settle with Edwin De Los Santos here. It's a good test for Shakur, but I doubt that Edwin will last against Shakur in this fight. Could be another technical fight and we will see Shakur giving us another great performance.

I don't think there will be any strategy for such high volatility games as obviously it's luck based. But for me, I will try to used the buy bonus for such high volatility games, instead of playing it like normal wherein I need to spend big money or for how many spins I have to make just to get the bonus rounds.

Buying bonus is like a short-cut and testing your luck for that day without putting too much pressure on your end. I mean, what if you win big? then maybe you can just exit and logout and withdraw and for sure you will be happy. Same with losing, just think of it as not your lucky day.

And at the end, the best strategy is to just play with the money that you can afford to lose.

Yes, I don't think that we should trust this tools, it might help us in other aspects in life, but to say that we are going to rely on it to say what the price will be at least at the end of the year? doesn't make sense at all.

Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the prediction of what will be the price at the end of the year is around $40,000-50,000. It might coincide with what the AI might say, but we have this at the middle of the year already. The data that the AI might be getting is what we have been seeing all alone.

So with or without AI, I will stick with my personal prediction. It could be a hit or miss though, but I didn't rely on some bots or AI tools to make that prediction for me.
