UFC 249 is signed and confirmed by Dana White.
Main event will be TonyFerguson vs Justin Gaethje
Date is April 18th
I have to say I am not impressed at all...

Ahh man, that’s disappointing. How many times has Tony vs Khabib flopped now when it was supposed to happen?
I’m starting to wonder if we’ll ever see those two fight.
No one knows mate, it will take forever I guess Cheesy. Good for me I already gave up expecting their fight to happen. At least it was less frustrating for me lol.

What makes me wonder is why Dana is so eager to push this UFC 249? Is ot really a big loss for him? I can see that he can do what all it takes for this event to happen up to extent that he is willing to set a private island for this Shocked (just a post I saw recently, I am not sure yet if it is legit).

That is how it (often) goes. Nevertheless, one of the non-written rules is not to ask/beg for merit. It’s actually rather counterproductive to do so (or at least you need to be a bit more subtle about it).
I'm just a little curious about this issue, what if these people know each other, they often give each other merit? How to prevent abuse. It is like asking for merit  Roll Eyes
Hmm, maybe if you give your friend a merit, given that he really deserve it (by making quality/helpful post), then there's no problem at all. Making it twice or thrice? I think that's still okay. However, if you repeat the act over and over again like a mutualism relationship then it's wrong already.

How to prevent? It's up to you whether you abuse it or not. You can freely commit but make sure you are ready to face the consequences huh Wink. So do not attempt to do it at all or else your accounts will get in trouble. Even how hard you try to alibi, both of you are abusers in the eyes of veterans here especially if you are just a mediocre poster.

On one hand this is great news, on the other - there are thousands of people who wanted to watch this event live in venue. If most of the flights are cancelled or forbidden, who would visit Belarus for this event. And how much would tickets cost? Belarus is not a rich county and not many would be able to spend 100-500$ on tickets since this is their monthly salary.
You nailed it! It is impractical to spend that big just to watch the fight. At the end of the day, all of us will conform to the "Needs before Wants" Rule — foods before ticket Smiley. Besides, even if there are existing flights going to Belarus, I reckon their government surely won't allow such gathering of people in the first place Roll Eyes.

Latest news!
Belarus has offered to host UFC249 event and main event Khabib Nurmagomedov - Tony Ferguson
MMA federation Maxim Korolkov offered several arenas for this UFC event, and one of them is Minsk Arena that can hold around 15000 people.
But news is that Khabib is going to miss this event.
source:
https://sport24.ru/news/mma/2020-04-04-khabib---fergyuson-gde-proydet-boy-data-v-2020-m-boy-otmenen-prichiny-boy-khabiba-i-fergyusona-v-belorussii
This is considered good news if the situation gets better. However, the opposite happen so I think Dana should surrender now. He must postponed the event for good. It would be a sad news for all UFC fans around the globe but that was understandable tho. A fight event is nothing compare to the risk it could bring to the staff, audience (if ever) and the fighters most importantly. Health of each individual is the top priority at this moment and minimizing the risk is the best we can do to help our government.

Belarus has only small number of virus cases that's why it was considered a nice venue for the fight somehow. But still, it's not 100% safe so for me the fight should be postponed for good Sad.

Good day everyone I would like you to become more aware because today the pandemic virus that is the coronavirus or the COVID-19 are still active and some of the people I know is holding bitcoin than buying a lot of foods, mask, and alcohol to protect their selves
First of all, did you ask them first where they get the money they used for sustaining their daily needs? Maybe they have fiat savings that's why they remain preserving their coins. Who knows Cheesy.

You know what, no offense mate but managing their own money is not your business. Yeah you can give advice to them if you noticed that their way of tightening their belts is not on the proper place already but if you knew that they are eating 3x a day and living comfortably despite the pandemic then there's nothing to worry about.

With regards of giving help to others, well that's right. Helping in these times could be a vital factor to ease the burden everyone feels due to the pandemic. However, such act of kindness must came right from the heart. You cannot push someone to do so because it should come naturally. Let's just hope those people who are wealthy feel compassion and help the needy Smiley.
886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: April 06, 2020, 06:39:18 AM
I have convinced myself that the NBA regular season and post season are CANCELLED. due to the rising number of infected people in the USA.

Just want to clarify something, what do you guys thinking? The whole NBA season will be just postponed or cancelled already? If the latter one hapoens, then who is gonna be the proclaimed champion? I am curious about this issue because recently I saw a post on FB (one of sport related pages out there) that if NBA failed to continue the season then they will go with the point system something like that thus Lakers will be the overall champion. Is it a rule? How true this is? Huh

Can anyone tell me if you know any website where you can play online chess with other people
and that both man can invest crypto and winner takes it all?
I haven't yet heard a gambling site which let's you to have PvP chess battle with betting. Hmm, maybe you could try the chess game in Messenger. Play with your friends and negotiate with them about placing bets Cheesy.

I don't care already if he still alive and just living peacefully somewhere, what I wish is that he just let his huge hodlings stuck on his wallet Grin. For God's sake, please! I don't want (I'm sure everyone as well) the market fall soo hard especially that btc's price got more stable little by little as time passes.

But seriously, it doesn't matter for me if he is really dead or alive because in my heart his legacy remains Smiley.

But if I were you guys, just stick with btc at this moment because we are on the middle of the pandemic so there's no assurance if alts can still be able to surf on tides. For me it is safer to be with the strongest because if the situation get worse then we could expect that it was the last who will fall Smiley. Just a friendly advise tho.
890  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the government understand? on: April 05, 2020, 11:42:51 AM
to maintain the current economy it is good for the rich to help the poor to survive, because if they hope from the government alone it will not be enough, now at this time precisely in my country has been implemented a lock down that almost all residents have little income, if they not working then there will be nothing they can get.
The best way to save the economy of a country in a scenario like this is, make the whole country focus on curing the virus and as much as possible lowering the cases day after day. If your country eradicated the virus then,. you can continue you daily lives normal and the whole system will be working again. Eradicating the virus will save your country for economic crisis.
Of course that's the main objective of every government as of now. However, it makes me sad that here in our country the virus is not the main problem but the countrymen and some officials. Despite of the crisis, they still have the energy and time to waste on political issues. Activists keeps on rallying and ranting about the lack of blah blah, some local officials are "sleeping" amidst the pandemic. I don't know what's going own, that's what I hate the most in our culture — the crab mentality Roll Eyes. Nonetheless, our government continue to work to fight. Some might find it slow but complaining is useless, right? We have no choice but to trust the process.

Wow, it looks like Calvin Abueva will be back soon.
 
here's the latest news about our Idol, lol..

Willie Marcial on Abueva: 'Malaki ang pinagbago ni Calvin'

Quote
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial has taken notice of the charity works Calvin Abueva has done of late especially when he distributed packed foods in the San Juan area at this time of the coronavirus pandemic.

And Marcial is the first to acknowledge the big character change in the man they called ‘The Beast.’


Hopefully this will help Calvin to soften the heart of the commissioner and finally put him back his career.
Nice one! It could really help Abueva to get back on the hard court earlier as we expected. Since the PBA commissioner noticed a big improvement on his attitude, let's hope they will now disregard the second stage of the suspension and just let Abueva make his comeback. I am starving for action packed games already, I like how he taunt players and do his mind games (but he must do it milder this time Grin).
892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Business That Survives when a Crisis on: April 05, 2020, 04:16:20 AM
If the crisis happens in one country, perhaps, the event will still continue because the other country is not getting the effect. But we talk about the pandemic that occurs in almost country.
Indeed, so for sure the Sin City which is Las Vegas is now out of operation. Too bad for the businesses around that area not only casinos but other amenities as well including hotels and restaurants. While on the other side of the globe, I guess Macau is doing great right now despite of the pandemic since they only got 44 cases with 10 recovered and 0 deaths Shocked. Amazing, isn't it?! So I will not get shocked if they're businesses is in regular routine

Nice dig dude. So this (acting like a Newbie and post here) is now the new strategy of spammers to increase their activity huh Roll Eyes! So pathetic. This is the real power of Merit Sytem, as we can see another user get debunked lol. Farm accounts had no place in here *evil laugh. I hope OP will now realized his mistake and stop once and for all.
894  Economy / Economics / Re: returning to normal on: April 04, 2020, 08:00:12 AM
maybe people will forget all about the coronavirus in a couple years time and nothing will change. that's what happened after the H1N1 scare.
For couple of years? Yeah maybe. But one thing is for sure, for the next few months after the outbreak most of the people will increase their health awareness. I'm sure that alcohols and masks will be still lack of stock, yeah it sounds overreacting but I don't see anything wrong about it. Prevention is always better than cure just like the old saying Wink. However, I don't want to see a world where everyone put some alcohol in their hands everytime they finish an activity either because having an OCD is abnormal already Grin.
895  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if BTC never reaches all time high? on: April 04, 2020, 05:34:01 AM
If it's not then it's not, as simple as that. However, I doubt about that possibility because in my point of view btc grow bigger and bigger which later can definitely result to price increase later. After this pandemic, there's a big chance that many government around the globe will realized how significant a cashless transaction is and this is where Bitcoin may enter Smiley. They may finally accept crypto payments within their countries, more and more people might adopt such kind of technology, and big businessmen might also invest unto it. Who knows Wink?
896  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help Need About Getting merit how I can get merit easily on: April 04, 2020, 01:53:44 AM
First of all, congratulations for your first merit Cheesy. I hope you are inspired now.

Anyway, let's go back to the topic. Hmm, I visit your post history for a minute and assess it in order to give you a suitable advice. Here are the following:

1) Improve your English writing. I sometimes get confused as I read your posts (like your first post in this thread). I think you are lack of using of punctuatiin marks and proper phrasing. Improve your way of conveying ideas Smiley.
2) As you grow here, you should learn how to go outside. There are lots of sub boards in this forum which may poke your interests. Do not isolate yourself here in the Beginners & Help or other services sections. More knowledge awaits for you, be courageous.


897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 03, 2020, 02:43:20 PM
Interesting update from Khabib.
He is still ready to fight with Tony in UFC249, but UFC is still not giving him exact location for event.
Listen to him in his own words:
https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN/status/1245846464313430021
He's ready but it will be pointless if the Russian government won't allow him to do so Grin. To be honest, their fight will be cancelled once again. You know why? Simply because a particular government will not choose to exemptions, for sure they don't want their own countrymen think that they are imposing favoritism lol.  

Guys, here's for the record. If ever the match will be postponed again it will be now on its 5th time *sigh.
898  Economy / Economics / Re: Economy is dying but market prices are going up? on: April 03, 2020, 09:07:42 AM
I have only two reasons that I think of prior to this happening:

1) Maybe because daytraders, whether whale or not, got more free time on their hands playing with their assets. Well, I am aware of the fact that many are getting infected across the globe everyday. However, it is reasonable to conclude that most of the number of cases came from the poor — those people who got weaker immune system due to lack of proper health care. So if you are rich or even just lying in the middle then most probably you won't get affected bu rhe pandemic. You have a very high chance to live "normally" (aside from staying at home all the time) like you used to thus have the ability to do your daily crypto business Cheesy.
2) At the end of the day, crypto sphere is a different world after all and excluded from real world scenarios.

Nevertheless, let's cherish this moment. At least we knew that there are still good news coming behind all the miseries we are experiencing in the first quarter of 2020 Smiley.

OP we're opposite, I can still remember where I got my tokens but I choose to forget them lol. For me they are all sh*tcoins that's why I choose to forget them for good. But ahh! I remember something Grin. As far as I remember, I think I left few Clams on my Coinomi account but I'm still wondering where did I get it Huh. Nah! They are useless anyway so I don't mind.

That's great! Acquiring knowledge as a whole! Learning anything, not only Bitcoin but everything that will feed your soul. It is always good to be better and wiser. I hope you and your family are safe amidst this pandemic!
Thanks, I just set aside my bitcoin life for the meantime since I don't have a job yet (I'm a fresh board passer at tthe moment and stucked because of the pandemic Sad ). But right after I got a job and earn money consistently, the next thing I will study is daytrading as well as stock market. That's the time I will go for greater risks.

By the way, thanks for your concern mate. I hope you and your family are safe too Smiley.
