The only thing that we can look is Bitcoin's past history as far as October goes. And with that it seems that we are very bullish right now. Specially with the biggest news about the imminent Bitcoin Spot ETF being approved as it was already listed by Nasdaq.

So maybe those who is good at technical analysis might see or not see this kind of bullish movement. And it could really fit on the narrative that at the end of the year, we might see at least $40,000-$50,000. So everything is falling right now as compare to last year wherein we have seen the lowest low around November. But this year it will be very different.

But there were times that the Filipino has taken the stage from the Japanese, when at one time they have Pacquiao, Donaire, Hawaiian Punch Villoria or even Nietes and Penalosa. And you won't hear like Japan vs Mexico. It was all Filipinos vs Mexico in the lower weight class and see what nation is the best.


It's obvious that when the best Filipino boxers retire, it's time for other nation to steal the limelight for them. So far, it's the Japanese again in the lower division. So hopefully, Filipino can regain their glory and restore their pride as one of the best country that produces world champion.

That's always been the case for slots though, as per my experienced, in the beginning you will see that you are winning. But if you continue to play for a long time, odds will catch up on you and obviously, you are going to enjoy slot games because of the adrenaline rush. However, it's one of the quickest way to lose money in online or even when you go to traditional based casinos.

I still play slots though, but not regularly or how I used to be addicted to them. Sometimes going to max bet for every spin and see how my luck it. So yes, just play for entertainment and just play with the money that you can afford to lose. Because once you are hook to slot games, it's very very hard to quit.

Although Tyson Fury has denied it, there are news that are floating around that indeed there is a rematch clause. It's understandable though, maybe the camp of Fury just want to make sure that if by small chance they got defeated by Francis here, there will be a second fight and Tyson Fury will be able to get back his belt and obviously the money is still going to be in the table.

But in seems though that everyone is already looking past Ngannou because they've said that a Fury vs Usyk is going to happen next in the Middle East as well. Just a couple more days for this fight. Everything is already set up, and obviously good marketing by the promotional team behind this fight.

Yes, most likely that is the case now, seen some who still continue to sell accounts and they don't care if they are getting negative tag because it really doesn't have any effect on on them. And for most DT members, just a waste of time for them. And if one account is getting tag, comes 2 or even more accounts popping up to continue to sell.

The only solution is to outright ban account sellers, but as I have said, they will just create more accounts and willing to pay for it. And then continue what they've used to. And as long as there are account buyers, this sellers are going to stay here.

So far there is no scoop yet, so this fight is still on schedule unless we hear that it's going to be re-scheduled or worst being cancelled. And with that, the date is still November 15 an yeah, the fight date is getting closer and for fans of Jerwin, this is really a good chance to get another belt.

And I agree, it seems that the Japanese is talking over as far as the number of champions in boxing in the Asian region.

There were years that the Filipino has Manny, Nonito, Donnie Nietes, but they all retired or in case of Nonito, we don't know if he is going to still continue to fight or just hang up his gloves too. And so they need to breed good boxers so that the country will have a lot of champions.

Let's see if Ancajas once again will get the belt and at least have a Filipino with a championship belt before the end of the year.

And from what I understand, they have known it already since 2022. And it require some technical know how to be able to pull this one out successful. So far the exploits haven't been seen in the wild.

Obviously, he is not the only developer, so it this has been found out already, a patch can be made. Just a matter of time.

So the future still looks bright for LN, this is just another bump in the road, and just like any other softwares, there could be bugs to be fixed.

That is the keyword already, he is a billionaire, so obviously, he just want to let everyone know how much he gamble, but big the bet is and in the end, doesn't matter to him if he wins or lose. What's important as I look at it, is to get across that he has tons of money, in short he wants attention. So this is on contrary on some billionaires, who works very hard and don't gamble at all.

We can't blame them though, I don't know his real story, but it could be a rag to riches, success story of this Nigerian socialite.

And I don't know if his bet won or not, for us gamblers though, there's nothing to envy about it. Again, he wants to flaunt but for casual gamblers, we will not to that even if we have a lot of money.

Jack Catterall vs Jorge Linares, no knockdown happen, Jack did his best to score but Linares has avoided that knockout. So it's pretty much a chess game all throughout but Jack is clearly winning on points as his left hand always finds it's target.

So the score is all in favour of Catterall: 117-111, and 116-112.

We were expecting that Josh Taylor will give Catterall his chance for a rematch as a domestic rival. But we all know that Taylor chooses to fight Teo Lopez and he was dominated and lost his belt. So there's no more hype of a Catterall and Taylor rematch.

Here are the highlight of the fight, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDt17FsjfW4

And it's going to be very interesting of someone for Cointelegraph makes a trade out of this news and then makes a lot of money? It's hard to proved though, but if there is one, then obviously this is what we call manipulation at the highest.

But I don't think that someone can be proven guilty and then sent to jail.

Another example though how the state of crypto journalism, this so called crypto outlets, they themselves doesn't have even access or someone rouge inside has accessed to their official account. It means that their security is also poor.

In any case this is what their Post Mortem report says:

I think Loop puts effort in proving that Hal Finney is indeed not Satoshi. But how many of us here believed though that Finney=Satoshi? From the very beginning, I doubt that Hal is Satoshi. He might be just one of those individuals who really see what Bitcoin can really do and as a developer he has to interact with Satoshi, mined Bitcoin and other contributions he had did in the past.

And most likely this article will be added to the annals of Bitcoin history.

There's no such thing as a chain of disappearing transactions in BTC. And it you heard something about it, most likely it's a scam.

Although there is a good discussion about a Fake walle.dat can trick bitcoin core client?.

So to answer the question is it a threat? No.

The best advise is that continue to accumulate we are getting to the block halving, and next year could be the start of a massive bull run. Better be ready.

Yes, it could be that scenario that Edwin will try to go and make Shakur not comfortable in the becoming. So he could be the aggressor and try to test how good Shakur are, specially avoiding that power of De Los Santos early. Or if he is hit, then how he will react, he has proven his chin so far, but we are now sure if the power of a natural 135 lbs can have a effect of him.


No doubt about it, in terms of experience, Shakur has the advantage as he faces a lot of great boxers as well in the past. And the weight though, it seems that he is very comfortable now at 135 lbs, no more weight training and I think it will have a positive effect on him.

And with that, I'm expecting a great win by Shakur to cemented his position as the best 135 lbs, next to Devin Haney, on the strength that Haney is the undisputed champion at this weight class.

Yeah, and it seems that Tsitsipas won against Hanfmann,

I haven't follow my tennis for months now, however, there could be some members here who knows that I'm a big fan of Tsitsipas way before he really had a break out performance like years ago. However, I will have to agree as a big fan of his that he hasn't reach his full potential, or maybe did peak already and now he can't pass that stage to become great as there are players that have over took him recently.

He could still be in the hunt at year's end bid to return to the Nitto ATP Finals.

To a certain extent yeah, just gamble and have some fun. But just imagine this, if you go to land base casino for example, you see a lot of gamblers playing slots of card games, what do you think is the percentage of them playing and just want to be entertained? Right, majority of them wanted to go and win some money too and just just losing every time just for the sake of having some fun of whatnot. I don't believed that if you continue to lost some money, specially big ones, that you are happy and not be affected mentally by the money that you are losing. I'm just calling it how I see it, this is not an attack or something who says that "they go for it just for entertainment". The only way to stop gambling is to not really stepping on a land based casinos or try playing online. Because sooner or later you are going to be hooked on, admit it or not.

Exactly, even if it is a friend of ours though, we shouldn't trust anyone if we speak about finance and money. I will tell you a story about a big whale that I know if a land based casinos here. He is so trustful, if there is a word for that. I mean since he has a lot of money, he would simply trust anyone to hold that money for him. And there was this news that he entrusted someone, maybe he was a friend or very close to him. To withdraw his winning inside the land base casino. It was a huge amount of money. Unfortunately, the supposedly person withdraw that but didn't give the money to the whale and disappear. Now he is being hunted and there were appropriate court cases against that guy. Moral lesson is that trust is very subjective, and as far as money goes, everyone is tempted.

Others might have a certain target though, let's say 1 BTC as this is what everyone is aiming to be a member of 1 BTC club. And for starter this is going to be very hard to accomplished, but for those who have been doing it for years, thru DCA and whatever strategy suit them, they could have been saving more than that. If you are interested, you can see it here:

So you can see where you at right now as far as accumulating BTC. And I will agree that it's a never ending quest to acquire it. We might be selling at some point, but for sure you will want to get it back as soon as you can. I wouldn't say it's an obsession though, you still have to look at it as an asset that you will have to make some profits later.

It will really work, you can have to find the grind to do it every week or even every month. But for those who doesn't have that patience, they might as well implore the strategy of buying in just one lump sum, and just leave it in their wallet, forget about it and just comeback when we are in the bull run. So it really depends on each individual. But relatively, I will also used the DCA method, I mean I have been using ever since and it has work perfectly, at least in my case and most likely those old timers here (as opposed to JayJuanGee term of normies).


True, but once you get over it (my secret is that I look for the long term goal), it's going to be easy and smooth ride and then after a year or two it will be just like regular, clockwork for you to invest and do DCA without you feeling as if it is being force on you. Of course, there will be weeks that you might not able to buy because of some contraints, but still you can go back and start all over again and continue where you left behind.

Yes, I read this accusations by Regis. But Haney says that the insinuation came from the camp of Rolly Romero (another 140 lbs champion). But then again this is just a rumor and nothing can be proven here. There's even speculation that Canelo also go this route early in his career as he suffer a lot but then we don't see it in his records.

I'm not sure about unbeaten records though, Loma for once have a questionable L in the beginning of his career. But he bounce back and become a champion and one of the best. But even after a lost against Teo Lopez, he bounce back again. The problem with Ryan is mental though, we all know that he has the potential to be a great champion, however, it seems that he is more on a social media type guy and wanted to take advantage of his popularity and just looking for bigger purse. He will have his comeback fight though, so we will see what's next for him at 140 lbs.

I think it was the case against Ripple, here's the official documents: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.551082/gov.uscourts.nysd.551082.915.0.pdf


The pressure is now on the side of SEC, not just legal but perhaps political pressure. We have seen him in Congress already and majority of the Congressman is not on the side of Gensler. So if everything goes on schedule maybe next year we might see the long awaited Bitcoin ETF because SEC doesn't have a choice.
