Upcoming Bulletproof update should definitely make some excitement. Many will say it is already priced in, but i cant be really. There will be publicity about it and that publicity will be exactly about what is best in Monero.
This was exactly what I was discussing in another channel. A lot of people come and talk about better privacy coins and start comparing stuff to Monero, then they realize actually Monero is in constant development and catching up very quickly in some of the tech,,, just that they were not aware about it until they learnt. Monero has this thing that it makes headlines very well without marketing, because the adopters are happy to share. And definitely,,, none of this is priced in until the spikes happen! That, or it's already priced in cos there are no spikes happening... Think about it. Bulletproofs is already public knowledge.

GNT/BTC: Breakout Imminent?![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FbOERQtY.jpg&t=663&c=iuAInpukD2hOlw) GNT looks like it's gonna start breaking out .000025 BTC and trend back up again. Please know that I don't have any news or don't too much stock in 'fundamentals'. I consider them mostly noise that should be avoided imho. I base this on the obvious: The price.

In hindsight, Khabib should have tried to win the crowd by taking the moral high ground after his victory. He should have extended his hand to McGregor to help him get up then bowed on McGregor's feet as an act of showing respect and gratitude for giving him the honor of fighting him. That would've raised Khabib's status in the UFC and in sports in general imho. Khabib: 'Check mate b*tch!'. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

WTF WAS THE PENALTY GIVEN TO MAHREZ? Jesus H Christ!!!
It was a penalty, poor tackle by VVD which is rare because he’s usually so calm. Very lucky to get away with a draw considering we were facing a penalty on 85 mins. I think a draw is probably a fair result though in the end, both teams showed each other a lot of respect. I would definitely have taken a draw before the match. It was obviously a penalty, but I think he's asking why they let Mahrez take it. Regardless, it was a very silly penalty to give away as he was going nowhere and unlikely to get one on target from that angle. Should have just ran the ball out or blocked the shot if he even managed to get one away which I doubt. City deserved to win, but I though Liverpool deserved a point also, and glad I got at least another point from the draw. Boring international break now. Yup! Why Mahrez? Jesus... David Silva should have taken that penalty. Sane could get that pen in, Jesus or even Kyle Walker ffs. The second they said Mahrez was taking it, I already kinda knew it won't get in. They shouldn't take these kinds of 'risks', in these crucial matches (not taking anything away from Mahrez, but he does suck at taking pens).

^ Enough with McGregor. It's Ferguson's turn to get a shot on Khabib now. But I wonder what the McG is doing right now... Lol. If he was an altcoin, he would be plummeting straight down. Bitconeeeect!!! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

^ Wut? McGregor's camp vs Khabib's camp just had a tussle and both are rumored to have connections to some shady organizations. Dun dun dun... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) And yeah, could be a draw between City and LFC. I feel City will be stale again. There's something with Klopp that Pep just can't seem to figure out.

^ Arsenal on a 9 game winning streak (League Cup and Europa League included). Poch and co. at Tottenham should be worried right about now... I think they're the weakest (ok, arguably the weakest, sheesh) among the top 5 at the table.

^^ hilariousandco, I think this is different. Khabib and a couple of other guys commited at least three cases of battery live on PPV in front of 25m - 50m viewers worldwide. I don't know if Khabib will get off this one lightly.
And I don't think I would be giving McGregor some credit. I'm a fan but after what's said and done coming into this event, he couldn't back it up vs Khabib. It's quite embarassing imho.

All that anticipation and adrenaline, and we get basically nothing from McGregor. He got owned out there. I'm very very VERY disappointed. Is it ring rust? Anyway... I don't think Khabib will be given a license to fight in Vegas for a little while after brawling with McGregor's camp. Which is LOL btw... McGregor got sucker punched by two guys from Khabib's camp too. Wow what a sh*t show. Edit: This should be good. UFC 229: Post Fight Press Conferencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4stbYqXacY

Anyway, besides Zidane, who else is on the list? Conte? Luis Enrique?
The one and only ZIDANE, Im a hardcore fans of manchester united and I wouldnt want any other coach to handle the team. They really need a coach that could got them out of the slump for now Do other 'hardcore' United fans share the same sentiment? Zidane lacks experience. What would happen if he sucks too at United? Would you start hating him too? Lol.
|
|

^ You really think United could go on a winning streak if things stay the same? I mean they could (a little bit. Lol), but not enough to assure them to be in the top 4 since they'll be competing vs Arsenal and the Spurs for it.
|
|
|
^ Huh? It's too early to tell who will win the league. Lol. Even if City wins this Sunday, you really couldn't discount LFC. Chelsea is obv doing really well too.
And I don't think City will be as dominant as they were last season.

^ That would naturally be the first reaction, yeah... That it was 'staged'. Lol. But after what was said and done by McGregor, I doubt that it was. His feud vs Khabib runs very deep. McGregor could get himself killed imo. Watch this vid. A Deep Analysis on What Conor Said to Khabibhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzhJ9PdY77cEdit: The weigh ins are going on right now. Khabib made weight. Nothing on McGregor yet.

How was Salah...? I guess he didn't show up again? Lol. I'd be expecting some people to question if his last season's performance all a fluke. It's too early to tell now, but it won't be around December.
City should be smelling blood right now too...
Salah was poor, really poor. One thing I noticed, at full time he took his top off & he still has loads of strapping on his shoulder. Wonder if it’s still hurtng or something which is impacting his game? On the game vs City, if offered a draw now I’d take it. I'm leaning towards a City win, but I'm gonna hedge my bet by throwing in s small bet on the draw. That way the only for me to lose is if LFC wins. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I've been experimenting on some hedging lately. It wins less but it lowers variance, which can be a b*tch sometimes.

Suuure he did... But I'm pretty sure Zidane would love to get the United job. If he really isn't go after it, then he should prolly tell his reps to quit talking to United and accept Juventus' offer. I think they want him as CEO or something... That's a huge step up imo.
What job could he possibly be holding out for? If any manager gets offered the United job they should take the honor as there's not many other bigger teams and he's already managed Real. The only thing he may be concerned about is his own reputation. It's much easier coming in at the start of the season where you can build your own squad, buy the players you want and bond with the current squad. At the moment he has to turn around an under-performing United and that won't be easy and what happens if they finish badly at the end. Will he then be disgraced and people calling for his sacking? Read my post again. And yup, it's a job every manager is longing for. But it's also becoming a curse. If I'm a manager with lots of prospects, no way am I gonna take a job that could ruin my career. Anyway, besides Zidane, who else is on the list? Conte? Luis Enrique?

Op how about adding a poll on this thread so that we can vote who will likely win this fight this Saturday. I'm still having second thoughts on placing my money of Khabib, his record is impressive but Conor have the hands that that finish his winning streak. It's hard to decide. I am siding more Khabib but not 100% convinced that he can pull a win over Conor. I think its 60/40 in favor of Khabib.
Kk will do. 60/40 pretty much represents the bookies' lines. Khabib is a slight favorite. But don't overlook the intangibles here like McGregor getting into Khabib's head, the rowdy Irish crowd, something... This bout could be closer to a coinflip imho. And McGregor should have went 30 mins earlier at the press conference and started without Khabib. Lol. That would've been fun. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

^ And that. He's trying to sell the event guys. Enjoy it. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) But the good thing for him is it all works in his favor. He gets to play the mind games, he gets to sell the event, and he gets to sell his new whiskey. Lololol. And there was a quick moment in that press conference when he was being himself when he was making a comment about Diaz and Poirier on UFC 230.

It feels like there's another pump coming. Let's hope that it's gonna at least take it a tad above .000004 BTC and stay there. Problem is there could be too many spooked holders out there. I think it's Justin Sun... He does look a little spooky. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FGmwRosS.jpg&t=663&c=lYJjwUSSoqnI2Q) He's the guy on the right. The old guy on the left is his mentor, Jack Ma.
