What a great day for British boxing... all 4 of the heavyweight titles are held by British fighters  Grin

If the Fury-Joshua fight goes ahead then one of them will hold all the belts and will become the undisputed heavyweight champion. Well done to the Brits!


What we need to see now is a unification bout between Fury & Joshua. Wilder was outclassed so a trilogy fight between him & Fury is of no interest to me.

Let’s see the fight between the two heavyweight belt holders to unify the division.

The world is your oyster... whatever you decide to do for your happiness and your health is paramount. Retiring in the Caribbean sounds like a great idea, I hope it happens at the right time when you want it to happen.

Wishing you good health and success in all your plans and endeavours. 



I want to clear up some rumors idiots spread.

My stroke was caused by something that happened to me 37 years ago.  It had nothing to do with busting scammers or stress.

My house and car are paid off.  While not working for several months did drain a lot of resources, I'm not on welfare. 

Overall I lost over $2,000 developing and running BPIP.  I'm running my new project in a separate corporation and will be fundraising to develop it.  My goal is to make $1,000 a month residual income, so I can get citizenship in a caribbean country, sell my house, and retire.

I hope I can count on your support when I launch my collectible series.  Smiley

Well those small time traders with their amounts of trash coins as must have added up to be a tidy sum for the Tradesatoshi scammers. Imagine it, putting BTC in maintenance while closing your website. Maybe they will allow BTC withdrawals 1 minutes their official closing down just so they can say they did nothing wrong - pathetic.

I really hope you are right, I hope we did a service to the community by highlighting their scam and the end result was to have customers find a different exchange. I hope somewhere along the line users from this forum can take credit bringing the Tradesatoshi scam to an end but it will be bitter-sweet because they will selective scam almost every user before shutting shop.


I know they were pretty small-time, with somewhere between 10 and 50 BTC worth of volume a day, depending on which numbers you believe. But they had a shitload of small customers, and as you can see by the reactions to the tweet I posted, 0.5 BTC is a lot of money for most of them. I would be pissed if I lost even just $100 there, but lucky for me they locked me out of my account with zero funds in it, quite a few months ago, LOL.

I'd like to think we discouraged at least a few people from sending their coins there, and we certainly were responsible for getting them to leave the forum, so we did all that we could.

How often do you use Bittrex? Is it still your go-to exchange and most frequently used one?


Bittrex finally, finally released the mobile applications, after all this time! I find it kinda hard to believe, LOL.

Thank you for highlighting this issue, I thought I had left negative trust for user Changehero.io after the I read the issue regarding the $21,000 but in any case I just left appropriate feedback.

It is no worse than many alternatives to buy. I would say with the price as it is and comparing it to the all time high it might be worth investing in providing you are willing to be patient and will wait for the price to give you a return.

Ethereum still has potential but if you do some research maybe you will find some other crypto that is less of a risk if you are not willing to buy at the current price.

Well if there was any dispute about the first fight there cannot be any debate about the second. In my country all the odds were in favour of a Fury win and most boxing analysts and ex-boxers had Fury to win too.

I think the fight was over before Fury busted the Wilder eardrum, it reminded me of when Joshua lost to Ruiz because he clearly did not want to be in the ring that night and Wilder was almost the same as that. I got the feeling he was not ready for the fight and maybe had some domestic issues which he brought into the ring as they were not resolved before the fight and he lost focus. Only Wilder would know the truth.

As for a third fight, I hope Wilder does not trigger the clause and sign up for it. I think Fury should go ahead with a try to get Joshua in the ring so either one of them would become undisputed heavyweight champion. I am confident Fury will knock Joshua out.


There should not be a third match. Fury was robbed by crooked scorecard judges in the first match. Maybe Wilder and his pride might want a third match but the team know their man will lose and maybe get more heavily punished next time.

Fury and Joshua should be the next fight. I have no doubt whatsoever Fury will win within 5 or 6 rounds against Joshua and will go on to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

It is all over for Wilder. He is 34 years old, if he wants to rebuild his career he should take a long break then return fighting 3 or 4 handpicked lower ranked opponents then try to get one last shot at the title again.

I don't think Fury was robbed. It was a fairly equal fight in my opinion but you're forgetting Fury was knocked down twice and he was lucky to get back up. Another round in the first fight and I doubt he would have got back up. People forget that anything can happen in boxing. Doesn't matter how tough you are or if you're unbeaten; one punch and it can all be over. Wilder was the favourite going into this  but it was obvious that punch to the ear that made it bleed threw him off for the rest of the right. I think a rematch would be right in this situation. First was a draw and this one was won by the coach throwing in the towel, although I'm sure Fury would have got a KO had it been allowed to continue. Fury should fight AJ and I'm sure he will at some point but not sure it would be before another Fury fight and likely the Wilder trilogy.

@ examplens - The link in the feedback goes straight to the thread in question, it is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5217470.0

If you read through that thread the pattern that becomes clear is that one user in particular is coming across as vehemently supporting or backing either BestChange or the signature campaign and their Best_Change user was posting too. The more the conversation became intense between the user in particular and other members the more of a back seat the Best_Change user took. That sort of cowardice is not befitting of a business owner/operator. Furthermore, regardless of whether BestChange are working as a broker or not they should have real terms and conditions or their website along with legal statements about how/if members that click affiliaite websites via their website have protection in the event of scams or other problems.

In my view there is no need for me to deem BestChange as a reliable trustworthy entity. Going purely based on the way they conduct themselves I find them untrustworthy. If you or other users feel that there is no need for concern and find them trustworthy then I am very happy for that. If there are other users that agree with my interpretations or opinions then I am also happy for that too. We are talking about opinions and all opinions are subjective - my opinion has been stated in their feedback and I never expect anybody let alone everybody to agree with me, we are all entitled to our opinions.


@JollyGood I really respect what are you doing on this forum, in most cases I agree with you but I'm not sure about this case.
Thank you friend, I appreciate the feedback. Your good work here in the forum has not gone unnoticed and many people appreciate what you do here too.

Do you think there will be a third fight between these two? I do not see a re-match but if Wilder get his career back on track maybe he will manage one final shot at the title.

There should not be a third match. Fury was robbed by crooked scorecard judges in the first match. Maybe Wilder and his pride might want a third match but the team know their man will lose and maybe get more heavily punished next time..

Fury got knocked down twice during the first match and you think he is still worthy to win the match? Even if he dominated most of that fight Wilder equalized it by showing in front of the watched including the judges who has the power in the ring. However I do have to agree with you that a third match does not need to happen since we already know now who is the best in the ring and Fury showed that he can avoid the errors he have made during the first match. But it's really not the fighter's choice if they want another rematch from happening since if the fans are talking for another fight they know these boxers and promotes see money that will be pouring in onto the next possible fight.

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal are still trying to make that all important 5th place finish this season because if Manchester City cannot overturn their European ban it means the team finishing 5th will get a Champions League spot.

Manchester United continue to battle with Chelsea trying to finish in 4th position.

The game (as it were for better words) will continue for a long time. Whenever a danger is on the horizon updates and upgrades will be made. Just imagine if Bitcoin mining was resistant to these miners, the overall supply would so low right now and there still would be significant scope for growth. Mass mining Bitcoin using farms was something that maybe should have been blocked a long time ago but probably even now developers never see it as a threat of a different sort which allows conglomerates to mine and profit from Bitcoin on an industrial scale.

That's the 'Bitcoin Game' and that cycle will never end. All "lost" coins in the old system will be activated in the new system. The first change to quantum resistant system will activate all lost P2PK coins. The next update will be a change from hashing system and will activate all lost coins, and so on.

Fury absolutely dominated the bout and was patient. He controlled the tempo and just would not let Wilder off the hook. I initially thought the referee stopped the fight a couple of punches early but afterwards I realised the Wilder corner threw in the towel.

Fury can move very well for a 6ft 9in - fantastic boxing match


8234  Economy / Reputation / Re: Need more opinions about bestchange red trusts. on: February 23, 2020, 01:33:25 PM
My negative feedback for BestChange is going to stay because it is very relevant.

If you read thought the tag properly you would know I did not leave negative trust because of the $21,000 scam, I left my negative feedback long before that accusation and my reasons are stated within the trust section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=1073450

I supported the flag regarding the $21,000 because it clearly stated in teh header of the flag what the accusation was and even though it has been withdrawn I absolutely believe anybody dealing with BestChange does stand a high risk of losing their money. Others can have their own views, I have my own.

And in the OP you stated you were not affiliated with BestChange and then you clarified later by saying you were not paid by them (alluding to starting the thread or trying to have negative trust removed) yet you are paid by them because are displaying their signature and promoting them and it calls your own character in to question. I really do not like it and do not appreciate users that maybe take it upon themselves to make requests or representations for those that pay for their signatures - that conflict of interest seriously damages credibility.

When BestChange send copy and pasted PMs to those that left negative trust asking it to be removed otherwise there was a threat made against us. I ignored that pathetic PM just like the other users that received it. In your case I am posting a reply here, please do not send me any more PMs - thank you.


I would keep updating this thread until to get an answer. It's hard to believe that none of users who left the feedback had noticed this thread or didn't check the updates in reference threads he uses for his {red} feedbacks .

I mentioned in op that i will close the topic once get a valid reason for the [permanent] red tags in bestchange profile. Honestly, i am really confused about the relyability of the trust system.
Any red tag should be justifief by a valid reference link. This is what i have noticed but some exceptions are really hard to understand.
8235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: February 23, 2020, 01:03:02 PM
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
