The latest news is Mike Tyson agreed to train Ngannou in his up and coming fight against Tyson Fury, he followed his promise that he would train Ngannou if he had a boxing match coming and this is it, Ngannou had a big knock out punch if Mike can train him to polish his boxing skill and put a good timing in his punches he has a good chance of beating Tyson Fury. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/mike-tyson-fury-francis-ngannou-30621303 With all due respect to Tyson (I hope I'm wrong), he has little to teach Ngannou. It's like Usain Bolt training Ngannou to run faster. Tyson is unique, and what he could do is not suitable for others, I highly doubt that Ngannou will be able to repeat those combinations with closing the distance or any of those Tyson punches. Although if he builds a strategic plan for Ngannou and he adjusts it to his physical capabilities, then the chances will appear. I think that is not the plan because we both know specially them as the much experienced fighters that each boxer/fighter have their own style and power which can be incomparable if ever they will try to imitate someone like Mike Tyson just because of the fact that Ngannou will be fighting in the same division. Tyson will surely not teach Ngannou to move like him but instead he will give some points to consider how to fight and behave like a boxer in the ring because the latter is not a boxer in the first place. It will be a big thing because Mike can still teach a few old tricks that can be useful in certain situations while fighting Fury in the ring. Also, stamina conservation will be a big factor. |

Weird. We have more votes for the defending champion Regis Prograis rather than the undisputed champion Devin Haney. Do you guys want to see Devin Haney lose or do you just believe that Regis lands his powerful punches?
I am bored with Haney's fighting style and he is supposed to lose against Loma. Now he is avoiding a Loma rematch, avoided his mandatory on Shakur, and avoided the real lineal champ at 140, Teofimo Lopez.
Regis had a bad night in his last fight and if he performs the same way again, Haney will have an easy time outboxing him. Still, I believe Regis knows he needs to perform better this time. I won't be surprised if he hits Haney with his signature awkward but powerful punches, this is the only way to beat Haney. If he cannot hurt Haney then he will lose his belt.
It's somehow debatable that is why we are seeing a mixed votes between the two champions, but for me, I chose Regis Prograis to win by a way of KO/TKO. I know that Haney does have an impressive style specially in his defense and counter punches but he doesn't have that much power to KO an opponent and certainly I don't believe that he can do it against Regis which is also an experienced boxer and had the same bouts as him. Now if Regis can utilize his power and speed, I think he got more chances in this fight compared to the upcoming challenger, Devin Haney. |

...
Also, the PPV numbers, could it generate more than the recent Spence vs Crawford fight?
No way mate! Let's bet.  Many casuals already understood that their idol Jake Paul is not that special after losing his first fight against a real boxer. Although they have no idea that Tommy Fury is not even a top 20, very raw and clumsy so some might believe Paul's statement that he improved and that he is a real prospect to become a world champion. So maybe this can reach 500k PPV buys. The undercard is not that exciting either, it's a mismatch. Amanda Serrano clearly beat Heather Hardy years ago so at 41 she will lose worse than their first match. My PPV buys prediction in this event is 300k and I'm already generous with it as this could be much lower. I would have to agree that this fight is not even getting close to the numbers that Spence and Crawford did. It is the second biggest fight of the year, it's a professional fight. As compare to Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul who is purely for entertainment as this is just a exhibition match and most likely they are just here for the money. And if might not end good for Diaz, going to be competitive in the first 3 rounds. But after that, Paul's will take over as per his experience in boxing. Maybe less than 500k PPV buys for me. Yup, there are no high expectations about this event specially about their figures that somehow it will be comparable because majority of the people knew that the results are already clear enough even before the bell rang and as expected, it did happened where Nate was defeated and Jake Paul won and it is not that surprising anymore because Jake Paul can only defeat MMA fighters who are transitioning to the sports of boxing. Next up is their rematch inside the cage and I seriously hope it will happen just like what was said days prior. I didn't watch the fight. Pretty sure I had more fun yesterday watching Gerard Butler's action movie, Kandahar. The fight is nothing special, it's only good for the casuals who haven't seen or heard the real fights like Crawford and Inoue earlier. The undercard would've been a good show if only they picked a better live opponent. Jake Paul tried hard entering the arena riding a tank. But I'm just glad Nate is finally getting his well-deserved pay. I heard he is about to get paid $10 million for that event. I wish he just choke Shake Paul until he gets unconscious but I knew it won't happen as he might not get his purse. As for the rematch in MMA, I highly doubt it. It's only marketing in order to draw interest to people that there is a rematch under MMA rules. No way Paul is going to do it against an MMA legend. Maybe Paul is willing 5 years from now, at that time Nate is too inactive and old. There's not much to see in the first place  Just two good actors fooling the crowd while collecting their paychecks at the end of the event. Sadly, that figure you mentioned is just too high from what did Nate Diaz got from that fight because in this article, it was said that Nate was just given a guaranteed $500k (PPV not included) while Jake Paul brought home $2 Million. On the bright side, that is 150k more from Nate's last fight against Tony Ferguson in the UFC as he was just given $350k at that time. |

Ricky Rubio announced his stepping out from professional activity to take care of his mental health. So, the World Cup is coming and he'll be out there for sure.
Does this means that it's possible that he's also going to be out of NBA and won't play for the Cavs when the regular season starts if he's not yet okay?
Nah, I don't think he'll give up his NBA career, it's a bit early for the 2019 FIBA MVP to give up this early. I mean that's his bread and butter right there and his passion as well. If he thought skipping the FIBA world cup could bring goodness to his career, pretty much everyone in the same shoe will do the same. It's also good for his mental health that the Spanish team respected his decision. He should be more ready in the coming season so he won't lose but improve his value, otherwise he's going to disappear unnoticeably like the other role players in the NBA, since he's actually close to it after recovering from an injury he was struggling real hard when he have rejoined his team in the middle of the season. Looks like that he's really going to give up the professional career that he's been with. Yes, it's his bread and butter but for how long he's been playing and working. He's one of the youngest professional basketball player that I've seen. I even remember some of those moments when he's making the news for playing that young on FIBA. He's got a lot of achievements already, if I'm him, I'll be fine with those and will take care of my mentality. He may never return depending on the severity of his mental health. Wasn't Ben Simmons out for mental health for awhile? Hasn't been the same since. We're in the same page because Rubio is now 32 years old and given that he'll just be gone for a while (which is still not sure) will not make a difference because he is already going towards the sunset of his career and so I think his decision is already for good, and that his days in the court playing professionally is now over. It's not that bad because he had a good run and achieved so many things while playing in FIBA and NBA. He should just take his time to spend with his family and to take care of himself physically and mentally. |

Greed is something that is usually very difficult for gamblers to endure. Usually our feeling always says "A" but because of greed our choice changes to "B" either because the reward is bigger or for other reasons. But actually if we can control our greed for our choices, it can save us from bad choices, even though it's quite difficult, but actually we can train ourselves to control our greed. If we get used to restraining ourselves, I don't think greed will control us anymore.
Greed is one of the worst thing that could happen to any gambler, we just have to relaxed and deal with our challenges other than run from them. Most gamblers in the space exhibit greed; there is nothing we can do to totally eliminate it, but we can supply remedies to help lower it to a minimum standard. It is steadily depleting gamblers and making more room for account liquidation. Greed has caused many gamblers to miss out on huge earnings from the system, as they are usually hesitant in their activities and make sure they have everything in order before ending playing for the day. It's not even debatable whether if greed can cause troubles or not because that is situational and it depends how you handle it, and not to let greed to handle you. And to start with, greed is already with us even before we start on betting specially after the fact that we are there to make money while entertainment comes second. What I want to say is that greed can sometimes be your friend because having greed is somewhat the same as having a gut but again, don't let it drive you as that will really put you in a situation that you never wanted. No need to eliminate it as greed is just like luck, you never know when will it hit you. |

There's no gender validation in gambling as long as the player is capable to play, understand how does the gambling works and have a money that would like to get entertain anyone is open for gambling reason why some soeaking only for men is because men are the one who more practically playing gambling. It depends someone men are the more way risk takers otherwise woman are the wiser and more in money we cannot remove this perspective's always happening. At the end it's all about the money for the casino and satisfaction for the players.
We cannot really say that men are more risk takers because that is quite debatable specially to the women that would loved to argue about this topic kidding. Let's just put it in a way where gambling is a gentleman's sport. Nobody said that it should be played only by male but it is a place and entertainment where most participants (gamblers) are male, female are more than welcome as well but somehow I cannot deny that it would be weird as it's kind of unusual to see a female gambling in a room full of alpha males. |

~snip~All of us who gamble dream about some crazy big win, but... but... we need to be real here. Big wins happen, but not so often, and for sure not for every one of us.
Only those who are lucky can get big wins. But look how many players are competing for big wins. there are very few chances to win big. Someone who won $600k would have used the profits for the rest of their life. Just bet a few dollars and he won a $600k lottery, it's unbelievable but it's true. It's very rare for players to get that big. I hope he can enjoy his big win and not put it all back into gambling. Winning such a huge amount is one in a million chance and it rarely happens. It's hard to win that prize even if you got all the luck in the world so if ever you'll be given a chance, you have to be wise in spending because to be honest, no matter how big the prize that you might have, you could still lost everything in just a short time if you will not use the money wisely. No matter how billions you may take, if you will allow everyone around you to abuse you and you will not manage your finances wisely, you will still end up losing everything. Quite easy to say because we are not in their position, I mean we can surely say stuffs like they should do this and that instead of doing this but in reality, there is a big chance that you will be overwhelmed and at that same moment, you probably don't know what will be your next move anymore because your brain is already exploding with ideas that you should do this first before doing that. In the end, money and time was wasted. Furthermore, of all the people that was lucky enough to win a jackpot prize, most of them haven't had the time to think what should they do because in the first place they were not ready for that situation and that just make it more complicated. |

I know about that case. I have seen documentary films of it and I must say USA authorities alledgedly also were at fault as well. It is said that the oldest brother was a CIA asset who was promised USA citizenship (so he could compete in the national boxing team, or so) and after doing what he was told by his handlers, he did not received his citizenship.
So he decided to take revenge by involving his little brother in that horrendous attack.
Do not misunderstand me, there is no nation which security is perfect but the United States have learnt much in these lastest decades.
Americans have this habit of poking their nose in all these third world nations, rather than minding their own business. As a result, sometimes they face unintended consequences such as terror attacks. I was trying to say that sports events in US do have risks associated with them. And this one is such a massive event, which will see millions of fans travelling to the United States. Qatar managed the security quite well last time, partly because they are such a small country. But 2026 is going to be different. Matches are scheduled to take place in several cities, which are thousands of kilometers apart from each other. That I cannot disagree but that is very true mate, that is one of the downside of America because they are not minding their own business even if it doesn't directly involve them. It is a habit that sometimes put the whole country at risk and this time, they will face a dangerous situation again because a big event like the World Cup will take place in their country and they cannot avoid the factor that there might be some guys who are planning something in the guise of being an audience in one of the games. That means that while the country is having fun, let's expect that their medium in security will be tough including the screenings of every port and airport. |

I agree with you. It is not a thing of competition, it is just a team work that the coming of Sadio Mane into the club will make it easy for Ronaldo to score more goals and also the presence of Ronaldo in the team will also help sadio mane to perform well. Fachant is making look as if it will be a game of competition for the players. The essence of having good players in a team is to make the game easy for all the players to come out with the best performance.
Al Nassr have sets their ultimate targets to achieved this season, they got everything at their disposal, what they need to do is compete with everything inother to win their league and then focused on other trophies. New players added to the team, ofcourse it won't affect Ronaldo in any way, rather there presence will boost him in all rounds specifically pointing to the areas of goal scoring. The new boss will enhanced the club with good management within his squad. We should not hyped Mane, because he has some floppy history. Sadio Mané failed to display a stellar performance with Bayern Munich, he hoped to do a terrific one in his new club. I was very surprised to see comments of some people who thinks that Sadio Mane's arrival at Al Nassr will form a kind of competition between the Senegalese star give time Balon D'or winner Cristiano Ronaldo at the Saudi club. Ronaldo for fact was playing in the left side of the attack in his days at Manchester United and Real Madrid but in recent years, we've seen him play majorly as the main striker. Mane will definitely be playing from the left attacking flank while Ronaldo will play as the centre forward. The duo are gonna form a good partnership at the club and help the club win a major trophy next season I was shocked as well when I know that they've been expecting some form of competition between Mane and CR7, and that will make the team more competitive and stronger. In fact, Ronaldo and Mane already had a history with each other when they both played together in one team in the past (I forgot which club was that) for 3 years and that is also one of the reasons why Al Nassr acquired Mane because of that history, the club didn't mean for them to race with each other just like what the other people was expecting because the plan was to compliment each other, and that will happen soon. |

The Lakers giving Anthony Davis $186,000,000 with a three year extension seems a bit insane given how much time he has missed. He’d better start staying healthy for the amount of money they’re giving him. 62 million dollars when he only plays about 50 games in a good year seems like like overpaying. I sure hope that contract doesn’t come back to bite them.
It's like they're having him the typical Lakers player so that they've got an identity through him. But with the hype that other players getting with huge contracts, I guess that the management has just happened to offer him somewhat on this bracket so that he won't move to another team and won't entertain any other deal that's surrounding him. In crucial times especially when they're approaching the playoffs despite having an injury, when he enters the court, he performs well which he should really be doing. What happened last season became a huge factor why the Lakers management opted to give AD with a 3-year $186 Million contract, sure he was injured during the regular games but that didn't matter to them because AD made a difference during their playoff run as the team made it to the Western conference finals. Without him on the equation, the team will not get to that point because LeBron cannot do things on his own anymore. |

However, we know how defensive Haney is, and if Prograis try to be the aggressor, I think it will be like Haney against Kambosos. Wherein Haney will have the upper hand as he will do the counter all night long. The only chance that Prograis is to hit Haney flush to win by ko as Haney doesn't have a good chin to begin with.
Good defense and timing in counterpunching are the best defense against a strong puncher Haney is so good at frustrating his opponent and accumulating points, that Prograis should find a way to get his punches in. Haney is a boring fighter like Mayweather but his style gets the nod of the judges, judges score on hits and defense and that's what happens in his encounter against Kambosos, he cannot avoid Haney's counterpunching, I don't think Prograis is the fighter that will handle Haney's first loss. That's just how he fights, and we have to accept it because it makes him effective in boxing. He may be considered boring, no question about that, but as long as he keeps winning, he will undoubtedly have more fights to come and more money to earn. Let's hope that he will have a good match with Regis Prograis, now that he is the challenger. If he wants to win convincingly, he needs to be more convincing in the ring, as we don't want to see a controversial fight like his previous one where some people thought he lost to Lomachenko. Agreed. I don't think that in the first place Haney is interested to make the fans entertained because if he will do that, that might be his first loss in his professional career because he is not that kind of boxer that can entertain the audience by doing something out of his character. He is only there to win and nothing else, after that, fame and money will follow because that is the most important factors in this day of age. Boxers will try to destroy him because of his position now but that is not an easy job to do. |

There's a possibility of taking legal action, and if that is the directive, then I guess they just want to make their job easier when investigations occur. They will surely focus on the investigation of Bitcoin as it's the biggest asset traded on this particular exchange.
For me, it does not imply that in the future, Bitcoin is the only coin that will survive and altcoins will be left out. The crypto market now is already composed of Bitcoin and altcoins, and if Bitcoin were the only one to remain, I don't see the market being successful in the future.

I'm one of the users who was not able to claim the assets remaining in the exchange, but it's not a big deal though, as those assets probably do not hold much value anymore. I just read the news, and I would have regretted it if I had a lot of coins because the deadline was already over. I was thinking that operating an exchange is profitable, but nowadays the competition in the market is really tight. Hotbit is not as big as Binance, and there were rumors before that they were faking their volume to lure traders to sign up for their exchange.

It's a very sad experience. Unfortunately, when Bitcoin is hacked, no one can freeze it as it has no authority. It's on a decentralized blockchain, and only those who own the key can access the coins. If it's not your fault, then it's better to avoid using this kind of wallet as it might already be compromised. It's still better to spread your Bitcoin across different wallets to minimize the risk since there is no online wallet that is hack-proof.

Excessive government borrowing occurs when there's an unforeseen calamity that causes damage to the country or anything related to it. However, the other bad side is when the government is not able to carefully evaluate its loans, resulting in an inability to match collections with payables, leading to high interest or penalties. Consequently, the country will suffer.
In short, we need to elect people who are capable of running the country and who are not corrupt. Even if they are very smart, if they don't have the attitude to honestly run the country, the nation will suffer. They will get rich while the people who pay taxes do not benefit from the taxes they are paying. This is probably what happens in our country, where corruption is rampant from the higher to the lower levels, leading to a degradation in the quality of service provided by the government.
I just focused my explanation on this because I believe that it's the root cause of why high inflation happened.

50 K is ON THE WAY
Now the number of institutional investors has increased. The number of companies owning Bitcoin has also grown. I speak For December 2023, it is seen as a critical moment for the crypto market as well as being an important turning point for the Crypto Market for this year. So, Will Bitcoin's 4 Year Market Cycle Continue or Change Again? It's just my feeling. With the increasing number of adoptions, there should be a better value, but if we evaluate the market now, it's still volatile, as evidenced by the fact that only during the bull run does the market pump and become overvalued. If we want to see consistent growth, the bull market should not give us a massive increase, as that would only indicate pure manipulation. Take a look at other coins that pumped during the last bull run, like DOGE; it only pumped because Elon Musk hyped it. However, look at what happened to the price now; it was not able to sustain its value, and some investors probably panicked and dumped their coins. This situation could also be related to bitcoin, as overall, the crypto market (bitcoin and altcoins) is subject to hype and becomes overvalued when the bull run comes and is not free from manipulation. |

The clear reason why we will never become rich because we are not willing to do it in the first place. We are not ready to take some risk that will eventually bring a lot of positive changes in our lives. Some may dream to becoming rich, but their efforts are not enough but only limited. However, in my own point of view, becoming rich may take a lot of process before it will sink in to me, but at least becoming financially secured at some point is what I am working at the moment so I can still live a comfortable life.

Many expectations of bitcoin this year failed, but I notice that bitcoin always breakout into a new price after interval of five years, the last massive explosion of price was between 2017-2018 and since then, bitcoin has not record major price increase. Now if you calculate from 2018 to 2023 that's about 5 years though because of policy of economic inflation and influence the price has not gain its actual strength to break resistance limits and if the remaining quarter of the year fails even more, then we should expect 2024 to 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 fire. We should start to make plans for 2024 more buys more gains.
You expect so much that's why you failed , imagine expecting good in 2023 when this supposed to be a semi bear year? The halving is coming in 2024 meaning that it will take effect in 2025 at least. So the cycle is not correct from your understanding. It’s not bad to expect but we should try not to put all our hopes in it, otherwise it will be hard to move on when the year 2024 does not still show any significant price increase. Although history may sometimes repeat itself, but there’s still not enough guarantees that the same thing will happen this year. However, it’s still best to prepare your investment today so that if bitcoin halving is already around, at least you can still dive with the hype. |

An AI trading bot might not work, or else there would be no more losers in trading if everyone used an AI trading bot. Regardless of the style of trading, the trading sites would still make money, as more traders using trading bots would lead to more transactions and, consequently, more fees collected by the site.
Personally, I believe that no AI, robot, or similar technology can guarantee success in a volatile market because any sudden news or speculation can have a significant impact on the market within seconds. No AI would be able to stay that updated and respond quickly enough to such rapidly changing conditions.

I usually Invest a very small amount of bitcoin to another coin because I know this time is very crucial to invest in any new coin or even in an old coin.
Any suggestion from your side which is good for long term
Nowadays, it's hard to trust new projects as most of them may end up as scams. This has been the trend in the market, with the increasing number of altcoins, which also brings bigger risks. Therefore, I suggest that you invest in established altcoins, those that already have supporters and are listed on major exchanges. You can simply look at the top 20 in the list provided: https://coinmarketcap.com/I'm sure they are likely to stay longer and develop, so you will eventually make a profit, especially when the next bull run comes. |
