^  Yeah, but I'm starting to think that price analysis and TA seems like it's useless for XMR now it this point of its existence.  There's almost no speculation going on with XMR and most of those who own it, really use it.  And the growth is slow but organic.  I think long term we're positioned better than BTC in terms of community, organic usage and real growth...  Not just those guys who park their fiat in a coin then dumps them and they'll do it all over again when another spot arises.

I'm not saying that I'm not doing it or it should be frowned upon.  I'm just talking about what I'm seeing specifically with XMR.  It's a totally different culture.

HOOK/USDT, ID/USDT and EDU/USDT.  No idea what these projects really do except that they're Web3 projects.  Haven't done a deep dive yet.

Anyway, I'm mostly looking at PA and I noticed these three seem to move somewhat together when they're being bought up.  There's prolly same group of traders accumulating it and it could just be the start.  Dunno...  But yeah.  NFA.  A cross over above the black line might make a good buy signal.

Feel free to drop othet Binance Launchpad projects that's looking like it's about to break out from a TA perspective.

^  It might be another September red candle or we're due for a green one.    We really can't tell with these things.  No matter how hard we try to make the right predictions, all we can really do is make the trade and hope we're right.  All we can really control is when and where to take our stop loss.

Anyway looks like the sentiment is split between sideways and up.  I'm on the same boat.  I think we're due for a leg up.

Yup...  Is Leclerc just not trying hard to get as much from his car anymore?  I feel like he's starting to fade and just want to get this season over and done with to start anew on 2024.  He says Ferrari promised him a really good car next year.  I think it's a crock of sht as the Ferrari brass just wants him to commit and sign a new long term contract.

But we'll see and I hope I'm wrong.  Seeing RBR winning a lot of podiums again next year would be meh.

^  Newcastle should be looking to bounce back at home vs Brentford which almost lost at home vs Bournemouth.  Lol. Could be a decent spot for Eddie Howe's boys.

Same with Aston Villa, another bounce back spot at home vs Crystal Palace which allowed a couple of goals in vs a misfiring Wolves.

I'd say Chelsea would be another one but it's hard to trust putting any money in them.

A couple of really interesting match ups are Brighton vs United and West Ham vs City.  Will United bounce back vs Brighton who has so far been looking good?  Will the genius Moyes hand Pep's boys their first L? 

That looks nasty.  And from what I know she plays the piano too.  If the doc does a less than a decent job fixing that finger, it wouldn't be the same after surgery. 


Thanks for the back up my guy.

Those are written really well and emphizes the build order from start to finish for each strat and for each race.  Enjoy.  

Anyway, the betting market for Round of 16 is up at Stake.

https://stake.com/sports/starcraft-1

Rooting for Calm to win his first match.  He's somewhat a huge underdog, almost paying 4 to 1 for your money...  Don't do as I do and don't do as I say.  

^  It's not that...  By all means, go grind and get the airdrop.  It's just some of these people in crypto tell you that 'onchain activity and TVL is increasing in so and so blockchain or L2' trying to basically scam you into thinking that all the 'growth' is organic when it's really not.  Let's just be honest and tell people what it really is.

Yup, the result of the match has title implications.  A win for Namajunas means she leap frogs everybody else for Fiorot's spot going to the title.  Judging from the ceremonial weigh ins, I think she's metally all there but physically, I dunno...  Her cheeks look round and chubby like she had more like a vacation instead of a training camp.    Rooting for her tho.  But Fiorot is good.  It's an interesting match up.

So yeah...  Good luck to all your bets you degens.

So after we got slightly bullish for July when June had a green candle, BTC went down more at around 11% for August.  :/

So yeah, judging from the latest price action it looks like 28k is the immediate resistance rn with 25k the immediate support.  How do you guys think will September play out for BTC..?

And remember, it's just a sentiment check.  Just say how you feel.

I laughed at some of the fighter and match up info because some of them are wrong.  But interesting experiment...  All in all not a bad idea.   

And if you can, keep records of wins and losses made by the bot if it made bets of 1 unit at every fight and see how it performs after 6 months or so.  Anything above 55% will show that it's a profitable strat.

^  I think Liverpool has proven themselves to be title contenders early on out after the kind of win they've just had vs Newcastle.  Won from behind and with just 10 men after VVD got a red card in the first half.  Totally brilliant.  Man City is still the club to beat tho.  I've been looking them up online and it seems like the players they bought are mostly good ball carriers...  Look more closely at how they play in the transition and see if there's a difference from the years prior.

Anyway...  Some good match ups here after match day 2.

Arsenal will really be motivated to get all three points after getting a draw at home vs an inferior club in Fulham that played with 10 men at the second half. 

The same with Brentford but with easier opposition vs lowly Bournemouth.

Brighton vs Newcastle should be a fun one after both suffered frustrating results. 

And Liverpool is gonna Liverpool after their performance vs Newcastle.

So yeah, what do you guys think of Brentford -1 at 2.20 and Liverpool to win and BTTS combo at 2.26?

It's that time of the week again boys!  What are your picks for the Majestic 7?  Mine are...

Wissa
Kulusevski
Haaland
March
No goal scorer for Palace vs Wolves
Salah
Saka

And as usual, I have a very good feeling I'll win 10k USD this weekend.  Woohoo!

The Red Bulls looking to make a statement right off the bat and won't give the Ferraris some momentum in their home track.  Ferrari also trying to get it on right from the very start.  Let's wait for what's in store for FP2.  I think we'll see somewhat the same results with RBR and Ferrari at the top.

I hope Leclerc and Sainz won't fade by quali.

Yeah dunno...  Namajunas kinda looks frail for a fighter at 115.  I guess we'll just have to see how she looks when she faces off with Fiorot in a couple of hours.

And if anything, I see this match up as a 'I'll retire if I don't look good in this fight' kinda thing.  I don't think she has it in her anymore.  But still...  Not sure about the 1.50 line for Fiorot tho.

Careful in thinking that zkSync is getting any real attention.  Lol.  As we already know, their 'users' are just these people who do all their transactions everyday to get their chances up to get an airdrop.    They're not real users who care about the coin or the project.  The minute they get their airdrop, they'll just sell them and move on to another project to  try to get another airdrop.    Funny how it works... 

As for pure L1's, I think some of the not so old ones like SOL could make a come back.

I didn't realize that the race was gonna be the week right after the Dutch GP.  :/  And it looks like the books got Vettel at 1.22 this time...  A tad lower than the 1.25 they had last week. 

With the race being at Italy, I guess Ferrari will try to get at least one of their boys on the podium?  I think Sainz to finish top 6 at 1.82 could win here.  Dunno...  NFA.  Lol.

Here's the schedule.

If that's what it takes to get the UFC back to its roots then they should do it.  I don't really care about what happens before the fight.  What matters for me is the matches themselves should be bangers and I can drop a little bit of money in them.  I mean I find the pre fight stuff entertaining but it isn't the end all be all when I get into each event.  But that's just me.

Namajunas replay...  Anybody think she'll win vs Fiorot?  It's at 125.
