Well they said that they are going to offer games in BTC later, so maybe it can stay here as it can attract more gamblers as we frequented this board.

And as far as decentralization, we will see how successful this casinos are, I mean we all know that almost all casinos right now are being mandated to have KYC and we all want to go back to our roots.

Of that a simple deposit and withdrawal address with no personal info being given to the platform itself. So let's see if gamblers are going to partronized this casinos or if this could set a precedent.

He has outgrown the welterweight and super welterweight division and so he has to move up in weight class wherein his body is comfortable. And I'm only going to speculate that he could bring his power to 160 lbs. It's just a question on how he is going to carry himself in this bigger weight divisions as he is not a naturally bigger guy.


Yes, and we haven't heard from Lara and I myself thought that he has retired already. But most likely he become a champion now because of circumstances. Charlo went on hiatus and so this division was open and Lara is on the right place and at the right time. And Danny Garcia and his team also knows this, that's why they challenge Lara for the belt to help Danny become a world champion again.

Why do you have little faith though? did Bitcoin already failed to reach new all time high every 4 years? I will have doubts as well if we have somewhat didn't see a bull run in 2020-2021, because of the pandemic, so obviously you are already proven wrong with your argument.


Yeah, and just like when you posted this thread, suddenly the price went on a spike, reaching as high as $35,150 and then we are trading on $34,310. Not to rub it in, but Bitcoin proves it's doubters again, sorry to burst the bubble to you OP.


And let's just wait till the bull run in 2024-2025 and see how big it will be. Just for the record, the lowest low is $15,500. And with the current price, we are almost 130% from it, meaning if we have bought at that price last year and continue to do DCA one year later, we should be in the profit right now. So in the next bull run, the returns could be higher than we expected, just saying.

Yeah, and since the fight is in Japan, it won't be a PPV. And that's why we always thought that Inoue should really be fighting in Japan, so that he will be a PPV star as well instead of fighting in his native country. He needs to get out of his comfort zone and be state side and obviously to create more hype and money for him and cemented his legacy.

As per the odds though, Tapales is still 8:1 underdog. Maybe for those who love to bet on the underdog, then maybe Tapales is your guy. We've witnessed Ngannou knocking down Fury in their fight when no one thought that he can even last 5 rounds of the best HW champion of our generation. So who knows, upset can really happen in boxing.

Yes, I also agree, perhaps Fury thought that Francis is a very easy opponent, although there is a chance for Francis to hit him with power, perhaps he was confidence that he will not simply go down specially he has face the power of Deontay Wilder before. But he was very wrong because once Francis landed, Fury's eye was very different after that. And it's funny now that after that fight, he says that he always thought that Ngannou was a dangerous opponent than Usyk? What? How can he be very dangerous when he is not a boxer himself?

It just shows by this statement that Fury is very arrogant and doesn't shows respect to his opponents and he was indeed very lucky that because of boxing corruption, he was declared by winner.

It's very subjective, and I don't think that there are retirement numbers from gambling to begin with. There are late bloomers too, who find gambling at the ripe age, and then there are gamblers who started young and still continue to gamble until they can't no longer play.

And as we know it, gambling has been part of human history, as old as mankind. So it's very hard to just stop or quit or retire from it. So it really affect all of the society, regardless of what age bracket. Initially it appears to be harmless for us in the beginning, but as we continue throughout our lifetime, it's very difficult to withdraw from it.

I would say that loneliness or if a person is facing a big issue in their lives, can go to gambling itself. And it's very easy to fall for it, I mean like what happen to your friend. He has a lot of money to begin with, and so with that kind of issues in his life, he can simply go and gamble and that is one way for him to escape his problems in life. He can reason that he totally forget everything when he is on a long gambling session.

So whether he wins or lose, it doesn't matter to him. As long as it will give him relieved and totally forget about the problems that he is facing, he is more willing to play, whatever the cost is. It become a form of escape and that will lead them to becoming a gambling addict.

I think everyone is more familiar of Broner losing to Marcos Maidana and becoming the internet meme for years. He is somewhat on the downside of his career when he was given that sweepstakes to have a fight with Manny and for sure he made a ton of money out of it. But he lost that fight and his comments post fight interview is one of the craziest.


Possible, but I'm not seeing any fight next week that can fit this fight. Besides, as what we have seen, Broner is way past his prime and then facing a fighter who is also inactive for many years.

Yeah, when I look at this thread, this is a old thread, but still applicable though, not just we only hit $18,000, but last year, we dive go the lowest low for this bear market at $15,500. Which means that everything can really go with the market as we don't have control of it. There will be black swan events that will push the market to it's knees. However, it also shows that bitcoin is very resilient because as we can see right now, with the current price, we are more than 100% back from the lowest low and obviously for those who have been accumulating since November last year, it's already a profit.

But, we shouldn't be tempted to even sell some of our stash, we are still looking forward to a bullish run after the scheduled block halving next year. And after that it will be a bull run that we haven't seen before as the predictions is that it will reach at least $100,000. So we need more patience even if we are only on the positive profits right now.

I wouldn't say it's bribery though, but when this big companies like BlackRock with trillions of dollars behind it, it's hard to deny that they have huge influence not just in the financial sector of the US, but in every facets of society.

And for sure Uncle Gary has been feeling the pressures already, going to Congress and facing a backlash and now huge companies knocking on his door to get this Spot Bitcoin ETF approval.

And for this reason that we all have been speculating that a imminent approval could happen, and it's just a matter of time. Might be better if it will coincide with the halving as it will be the news that will fuel the price of Bitcoin to reach $100,000 minimum in the next bull run.

I don't know which one is more impressive, Francis scoring a knock down and almost winning the fight, or putting up a show for us and maybe believed that he won this fight if not for the judges screwing it up again or not really giving this one to him. At least a draw would have been better instead of giving it to Fury who didn't do anything after that knockdown in round three. Mike Tyson too will be proud of what Francis shows in this fight and almost pull one of the biggest upset.


It exposed Fury for sure, we all know that Usyk has also a great boxing IQ and seeing this fight first hand, he could have already building his strategy already and seeing himself on how he can beat Tyson Fury. Anyhow, the stage is set for Fury and Usyk, unification fight.

For sure Fury getting knockdown by Francis here will take a toll on him mentally. Although the Gypsy King has proven himself specially on the way he makes his comeback in the Heavyweight division and then taking over it in the last 3 years is amazing. But in this fight it just shows that even the best of them will have off night and it will be a disaster if the judges favor Francis due to the knockdown that he scores.

I reckon that if the knockdown is last, maybe around 6-8 rounds, then it could really sway the score in favor of Francis. But since the knockdown is early, Fury might have gotten away with this boxing skills to make it to the judges score card.

Will be interesting though for Francis vs Joshua. I think that will be an even 50/50 fight or maybe Francis will have a puncher's chance as Joshua doesn't have the chin and recuperation of a Tyson Fury.

We really don't know if it is cause by his sparring partner, or maybe he can't really take a body shot. Or he could have been suffering for this injury for a while until he can't bare the pain anymore. So yes, we don't what this kind of injury that postponed a fight. But he has to let everyone know and I think the camp of Ancajas have been informed and can't blame Inoue for that.


Yes, no need to rush, it might be better for him to take a rest and wait for Takuma. Unless the governing body says that he will go on a title eliminator fight while waiting for Inoue. But as to not take the risk, Ancajas should take a break this Christmas and spend it with his family in the Philippines.

Damn, I can't imagine how you feel when you deposit those big money, $1,800 is already huge amount as a bankroll and just to chase your initial $85+$250. But I can feel you, I have been in that kind of situation before. Depositing and then trying to chase the lost, but the twist on my end is that I was able to recover back some of the initial bankroll.

But I still didn't stop, and still chase for big win. Then I lost, then deposited some money again, and it the end I lost everything.

For sure it's a big and expensive lessons for you to learn and I just hope that you will not play as you have said as you already know the consequences of chasing losses.

Indeed, perhaps Fury's camp really knows that this is just a tune-up for him and the big fish is Usyk. Maybe they don't want to go to Usyk directly though and have him wait as we all know that there is also this element of pysche war going on between this two top HW fighters.

Usyk has his fight already, won (although it could be argued that it was controversial). Now it's time for Fury to win against Francis.

And once he win, obviously, it will be December or early next year for Usyk vs Fury.

But I guess fans are still wanting to see Jack Catterall because of his controversial fight with Josh Taylor back then. Fans wanted to see if Jack is for real. Although his fight is against a old and fading former champion in Jorge Linares, still a good gauge for Jack as Linares doesn't want to back down from his power left and chooses to fight fire with fire.

However, he is way past his prime already, and it's good that he will retire. Most likely he had a lot of money from his fights and save enough for his family. Specially you mentioned his humble beginnings and then become a world champion from Venezuela.

And if I'm not mistaken, one of the best boxer that came from Venezuela is Edwin Valero, it could have been great to see him fight Manny Pacquiao during their primes but Edwin was a enigma and it's sad how his career and life ended.

I can't remember, but I read the Usyk is somewhat injured right now, so there is a big possibility that the Usyk vs Fury might push for next year. But still, Usyk said that he is willing to fight so for sure this fight is going to push through.

And yes, I don't see Francis putting up a massive upset on Tyson here. It's good that we see promotions in this fight. But it will take Francis to be lucky to hit Tyson and knock him out for good. That is the only way he can win this fight, with a knockout. But Tyson Fury is also a defensive boxer so I doubt that Francis can land his signature power punch just like he did in UFC.

Right, I also don't see any correction, and the investors are interested more than ever this year as it we have seen the price pushed to $35,000. And I think we can still maintained that price at the end of this month. The sentiments are now very bullish.

Of course, we are still very far from the all time high, we are even half of it at the current price. The discussion will come next year, after the block halving as it is the catalyst for the bull run that we are expecting.

No one is on the panic mode or pushing the sell button. But still a good way to accumulate and buy Bitcoin even if it is $35.000.

Probably this is just a coincidence, we don't want to think that Satoshi knows that something is going to happen in the future that's why he uses that headline in the newspaper for his Genesis Block. And maybe for others, this is another conspiracy for them, LOL

And the war has been going on for years already, so not surprised that it was in the headline that time.

Do not think that this is another Simpson episode that predicted the future.

For the movies though, there are trailers that you can see before you may want to watch that movie, so that is a bad analogy to begin with. Unlike when you go to casinos, you don't know if you are going to win or not. and 99% of the time is that you are going to lose.


Yeah, but when you go to casinos, you will at least be positive and think that you are going to win. If not then good, at least bring money that you can afford to lose. So that it won't be a issue for you if you win or lose money.


It's not that easy though because gambler will be gamblers. They are their to win some money no matter what. Of course, they will be entertained at some point. But if you continue to lose money just for the sake of being entertained, then think again.
