Here was what I said before the fight and if the referee had not stopped the fight Fury would have knocked out Wilder cold:

I just cannot see Wilder getting fortunate this time. No dodgy scorecards from suspect score judges are going to save Wilder this time.

Fury will happily box for the full 12 rounds it will be no problem for him but he will take any opportunity to knock out Wilder before that. As for Wilder, he made a mistake taking the first fight because he thought Fury would be rough after his time away from the ring and those few rounds he had under his belt would be of no use against the punching power Wilder has but he miscalculated. Now that Fury is back to his best Wilder has no chance of winning the bout though he might cause a problem or two for Fury but in the end it will be won by Fury who will teach Wilder a boxing lesson by knocking him out cold.

Even though they knew the senate would acquit Trump maybe they went ahead with it anyway because they thought it would have a positive effect for the Democrats in the November election - who knows?

~snip~

Stupid move by the Democrats really, and one which does strongly suggest that they don't have even the merest understanding of the nature of Trump's power. Indeed they do look out of touch, which again could lead voters to Trump. Don't know what (if anything) they were thinking.

Unfortunately I did not see the match, I could not watch any matches today as I was busy but will catch up with the highlights to see what happened but 2-1 seems about right for me because Chelsea should not really have lost at home to Tottenham. Why has Lampard beaten Mourinho again is not really that much of a difficult question because Chelsea are a better team than Tottenham this season. Maybe when Mourinho gets his own stamp on the squad when he buys the players he wants then maybe it will be a different story but Lampard too will get the opportunity to buy his choice of players as well - the battle between these two next season will be an interesting one.

@JollyGood I’m glad that I didn’t place a bet on Tottenham to win their game against Chelsea, as Tottenham were beaten 2 - 1 by Chelsea and I yet can’t believe it that Mourinho lost to Lampard once again in this season. While I do understand that Tottenham strikers are out injured, but it just feels unreal that Mourinho looses to a player whom he used to coach so anyone else feeling disappointed by this match’s end result?

I read through those tweets just now. I wonder what the full amount of their exit-scam will be. Maybe it will run in to millions of USD$.

We tried for a long time to warn people about these Tradesatoshi scammers but sadly not everybody managed to withdraw their funds because of selective scamming and now of-course because of their exit-scam.


TradeSatoshi exit scams.

Thank you for the explanation. I always wondered how so many investors funded so many BTC in the first place now I understand it better.

It was privately bankrolled before Daniel took over. Only BaBv2 (i.e. when Daniel took over and released the new version) was a crowd funded bankroll introduced, but by that time bustabit was pretty well-established

Great news about scammers Tradesatoshi closing down but what happens to all those coins they have scammed under the guise of investigations? Will they return them to the rightful owners?
7788  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustadice – Next Generation Dice on: February 21, 2020, 09:13:46 PM
How did the Bustabit bankroll start through? Granted Daniel purchased it when was already a successful, established and profitable business but when and how was the bankroll open to investors? I know very little about that part of the Bustabit history so am curious.

I think raising a crowd funded bankroll on bustabit on the other hand would've been way easier, it was already a massively popular and profitable business when Daniel bought it, and he already had established himself as a trustworthy person.

I also heard from people that the electronic voting machines (EVM) were hacked in the previous general election but I do not think there was ever conclusive proof but if you say it was proved that they could be hacked then you have the proof I suppose.

No matter how unlikely, if the opposition came to power in the next election do you think they would be able to change anything?


As long as Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) used for polling BJB is going to win the elections. Cheesy

Many parties proved that EVM can be hacked and altered the polled results to election commission of India but still they claims that no one can change the results so they are also getting corrupted.

Moreover the opposition part Congress not have much support from public and there is no third national party in India who can take advantage of this and win elections.

Surely if he could move even 1 sat from the wallets associated with Satoshi to another wallet then it would mean he had the private keys - he cannot do anything that will prove his claim beyond doubt. The man is a compulsive lair and he has tainted the name of Satoshi for far too long.


5. Craig Wright was sued to court by Dave Kleiman's brother, because he knows for a fact that Craig Wright is Satoshi and is trying to claim half of he's Bitcoin fortune. Craig Wright did not want to be put on this spotlight he was forced into it.

LOL. Craig was stealing money left and right, borrowing then not giving back. It's already proven that he owes it to the Kleiman's family. He's only trying to prove that he was the founder to make it look like he was sharing it with Kleiman not that they were both testing a system made by someone else (Satoshi). If he would manage to prove that he made Bitcoin he wouldn't have to pay but he can't do it because he's not Satoshi and no fairytales of a mysterious courier with his private keys will not help him win the case.

7791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: February 21, 2020, 05:22:19 PM
Wilder thought he was mocking Fury by talking about his previous health issues but Fury did not touch him in anger, instead he told Wilder that "nobody in your country knows who you are" which is almost very true.

Upon hearing that Wilder got upset, there was no need for him to behave like a playground bully and push Fury when he was not expecting it but thankfully it was funny to see Wilder feel the fury of Fury as he pushed him in retaliation.

Wilder had mostly tailor made opponents which were not going to cause issues for him just so he could retain the belt but not any more - I will be so happy for Fury when I see him knock out Wilder. Wilder will be on the canvas long after the referee counts to ten and Fury will be holding his arms up high as the champion that he is  Grin

How did the bankroll investment for Bustabit and Bustadice start? Raising that much funds for the bankroll from scratch (I presume) could not have been an easy task.

Were funds raised by asking here in the forum or by other means?

After reading the above post it just re-enforces the view I stated earlier.

Beware of this anonymous Bliq project and its representative in this forum __M

Thankfully I cannot see users signing up at deribit and cannot see them allowing access to their trading facilities for Bliq to gamble with so both Bliq and __M should hopefully fade in to insignificance in a very short space of time.

All of the ones you listed are serious possibilities but Corona stands out - it has already given a headache to the world, I hope that a cure will be found soon.


1-Military escalation in northern Syria with the Turkish state
2-Saudi aggression exit from Yemen
3-The Iranian state, despite all the difficulties and the economic blockade by the United States of America, is still standing
4-Corona virus gives the world an ethics lesson
5-Russian-Turkish escalation on Syrian soil

7796  Other / Politics & Society / WW2: California Sorry for Japanese American Camps - too little too late? on: February 20, 2020, 11:22:31 PM
Approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans were forced in to prison camps during World War 2 under the Executive Order of Franklin D Roosevelt which was backed by California State.

Executive Order #9066 was signed on 2nd February 1942 because there were fears the Japanese American population would help Japan during the war. Those incarcerated were forced to live in one of the 10 camps which were ringed by barbed wire and had armed guards. Many victims died because of medical negligence, many died at the hands of the guards that were supposed to ensure nobody escaped.

In 1976 the then US President Gerald Ford issued an apology for those camps and in 1983 the Commission of Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) came to the conclusion the camps were not "military necessity" but were effectively driven by "racial prejudice, wartime hysteria and a failure of political leadership". They also stated "A grave injustice was done to American citizens and resident aliens of Japanese ancestry who, without individual review or any probative evidence against them"

5 years later in 1988 the Civil Liberties Act came in to force and Congress backed reparation payments of $20,000 to each living survivor (or next of kin) along with a signed apology from the then US President Ronald Reagan. A total of around 82,000 people received payments.

The Federal government has apologised on several occasions and now the State Assembly of California has apologised too. Even though reparations have been made and the issues date back to the second world war but has this move on part the state of California opened old wounds rather than heal them? Is it too little too late?

How do you think the average American would feel about this? And how would that compare to the feelings of survivors and families of those camps?

Excellent post. Thank you for the links and background information.

By now CfB has nothing to do anymore with IOTA other than his company using the Tangle - or intending to do so, but he will probably fork it. David Sønstebø and CfB have been bff for a long time until the moment they had different opinions about the future of IOTA. You can read what David has to say about that here.

I will go for Tyson Fury to knock out Deontay Wilder  Grin

I guess you'll get an interesting odds for that if you are betting.

Fury to KO wilder in round 1 - @26
Fury to KO Wilder (entire game) - @5.
