Hopefully it's Aston Martin where he'll reunite with Newey and where he could make a champ out of Lance Stroll.  I'd love to see it.

Oh you right, he could end again with Adrian Newey.
In that case the boss should fire his son.
I don't think that Horner want Stroll as driver cause many many drivers are better than him and he is there only cause daddy has the team.

But what if there's a clause in Horner's contract that he can't get rid of the team owner's son?  I mean...  That's his son.  Lolol.  And Lawrence Stroll prolly put Lance in there because what if there's a father's dream is to have an F1 champ for a son.  Cheesy Cheesy

There was a write up about Lance Stroll a while back when Lance almost quit F1 and his father wanted him to return to tennis.  The impression I got from write up seems like it's the dad who wants Lance to be the F1 driver more than Lance himself.

^  Mmmmm...  About the crap tokenomics bit, that could be true.  But is CZ really shilling this only to sell on his followers?  That's not how he operates.  I know there are lots of shenanigans in Binance, but has CZ explicitly shilled a coin or token just to dump?

I don't think he has done this before.  The only token he has been shilling is BNB.  A token which he has never dumped on his followers.

As for the "nothing to do with it" thing, check the info in the starting post.  YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs, is a seed investor in AsterDEX.

Edit:  Typos

Max Verstappen dominates the Azerbaijan GP, ??and it certainly sends a strong signal to McLaren, it was pure domination, they were really good, both the team and the driver, this guy definitely has a gift that others don't have, it's fair to say, this will be one of the most successful drivers ever, simply perfect

With McLaren's case, it's not the drivers it's the car.  With Verstappen's case, it's not the car it's the driver.  Grin

I mean imagine a world where Verstappen is driving that McLaren.  Wink

Side news.
Cristian Horder got 90m€ from redbull as payoff after being sacked.

I mean, he can't be sad about it getting 90mil and being fired is a dream.
The question now is, will he back in anther team or will he retire?

It's in his contract.  It's not like he wanted to get fired to get the money...  As for what's next for him, I think he'll be a team principal for another team.  What that team might be we don't know.  But we'll prolly hear about an announcement at the end of the season...

Hopefully it's Aston Martin where he'll reunite with Newey and where he could make a champ out of Lance Stroll.  I'd love to see it.

Yup, things are pretty quiet from the side of Pimblett.  There were a couple of fighters who volunteered to replace Fiziev...  Moicano and Dariush.  I don't mind both but would prefer Dariush to be given his last chance as he'll be retiring in a couple of years or so me thinks.

Did Dariush even say he's ready to step in? Or did you mean Gamrot? As far as I know, only Gamrot and Moicano volunteered, with Gamrot having more support from fans and experts.
The whole situation made Oliveira look like a hypocrite, for openly ducking Gamrot. I think he's truly terrified of fighting any skilled wrestler.

As for Pimblett, we all know he lets go between fights and goes overboard with all the eating that he gains so much weight.  So pretty sure he can't get the fight on short notice even if he wanted to.  Lol.

I think this is his recent video:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZWk38akfgqM

So yeah, not a chance he could make the weight for Charles.




Yeah thought so...  Oh well.  Would've been an epic match up imho.

Anyway, there are some underdogs I'd like to lose money to this weekend.  Cheesy Cheesy  These are Dominick Reyes at 3.10.  I think he's slightly disrespected in this spot with that line.  Remember, not betting it for the win, I'm betting it cos there could be some value in there.  Loma Lookboonmee at 2.95..  This girl has more experience in the UFC and is on a tidy streak.  For 2.95, why not.

And Louie Sutherland as the slight underdog at 2.03...  I just wanna fade Justin Tafa.  Cheesy

After a week of 'down only', we might be seeing PUMP hit local bottom.  NFA tho as we can never really be sure about these things.

My head says be careful and continue to observe, but my gut says start aping in now.  But as usual we need to balance these things out.  So I'm starting to get in slowly.  Grin  I think at this point, we need to protect our gains more than trying to maximize it.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: September 23, 2025, 12:55:18 PM
^  That's a good opportunity for Pimblett to step up imho.  Doesn't matter if Oliveira lost his last fight and Pimblett won his.  It's still an opportunity to climb the rankings and get a spot for title contention.  And for Oliveria, it's an opportunity to get back on track as Pimblett is one of the more popular guys in the UFC.

Pretty sure both guys are thinking that they could win in this match up.  Grin

But man if Pimblett wins in Brazil and against Oliveira...  His level of popularity will go sky high that Topuria will demand that Pimblett should be given the next title shot.  It couldn't be more perfect.

Paddy won't take it on such short notice. He has too much to lose + we all know how fat he can get when he's not in a camp. He would need much more time to prepare.
Meanwhile, Gamrot expressed his readiness and rallied some fans around him, who demand Oliveira fight him. Oliveira doesn't seem to like this idea, saying he's not the type of fighter he was preparing for, which is ridiculous, given that Gamrot didn't have any camp at all, so Charles would still have a massive advantage.
Charles posted something about other fighters being afraid of him, just to start ducking Gamrot shortly after. It's not a good look, but, as I said, he's desperate for a win, and Gamrot would neutralise his jiu-jitsu completely. That's why he's afraid of this matchup.

^  Lol.  Nice to have a win for once after a long string of duds.  Grin  So far HYPE has been my biggest winner for the current bull market and the only one that matters.  Had decent win with PUMP but not like HYPE.

So now the focus is on ASTER.  Let's see how far CZ takes this one.  The thing that ASTER has it going for it is Binance spot listing and an implementation for a flywheel like HYPE.  I'm more sure of the former than the latter tho.

Good luck out there guys.

Here are the results from Azerbaijan.

Redbull is always being a good car in these type of tracks.
They upgraded their bottom of the car 2 races ago.
The next race as you said it will be Singapore.

That is a completely different track for grip and stress on tires.
If Redbull can compete there, then they can fight for the title.

So if Red Bull and Verstappen starts winning races and starts getting podiums consistently at every GP, do you think that they still have a chance to win the driver's championship..?

And I'm not asking if it's mathematically still possible.  I'm asking if there's still actually a chance for him to be champion this season.  I think that it would be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comebacks in F1 history.

^  Mmm...  I think Tsarukyan should be given his title shot then Topuria be given the 'money shot' with Pimblett.  Cheesy Cheesy

Pimblett vs Oliveira would be a good fight. Oliveira likes to go forward with hands down, Pimblett has some decent wrestling and bjj skills. I would be honest if I say that I expect Oliveira to lose his next fight if its Pimblett against him. Now its up to Pimblett to decide imho. Replace Fiziev and for sure be next to fight champion, or wait for Topuria.

Yup and Pimblett's striking has improved by a lot after watching him go at it against Chandler.  I used to think that Pimblett isn't really that good.  But after the match up with Chandler I'm slowly thinking that he's improving.  Not saying he's among the UFC's elite, but he def got better and could deserve a spot in the top 5.

Looks like the UFC is promoting Dominick Reyes again.  Do they expect him to win?

Does Dominick Reyes Title Run Start Now?

^  Wait for it to go down a bit imho.  I think CZ isn't done with this yet as it could follow the same playbook when token gets pumped then it goes down a bit them sideways, it gets bought up again then bought up even more because it's rumored to get Binance spot listing...

But when it actually gets listed, there's like a week of back and forth between buyers and sellers, taking it slightly higher before it's all the way going down for months.  Cheesy Cheesy

15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Airdrops speculations thread on: September 20, 2025, 12:39:58 PM



As for how they'll launch it, it's prolly gonna be an airdrop like how Arbitrum did it or thru an ICO.  Would like it either way.  Grin
Hmm, I'm still curious about how the airdrop will go.
Like Arbitrum or ICO, it will likely follow the same path. Lol


Another rumor --- Metamask is cooking something up.
According to a Block article, the MASK token is still on its way. There are more and more stories circulating about the token launch, and I'll keep waiting to see how the world reacts.
Source: https://www.theblock.co/post/371374/consensys-joe-lubin-confirms-metamask-token?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

Looks like Metamask's dominance is getting threatened as Phantom wallet started offering a perps product via Hyperliquid builder codes and Rabby has also done the same.  And there's a tweet from Rabby that it will also be launching a token sooner or later. 

Metamask seems like it doesn't want to be left behind.  Cheesy Cheesy

As for the Base token, wdym it will follow the same path?  Arbitrum's path?  What Arbitrum did was it surprised everybody by one day putting up a site to show who's eligible.  Was lucky and really thankful to get 5000 ARB on that one.  I really needed the money at the time and it was totally expected.  Smiley

^  Lolol...  Yeah but would be fun to do tho.  Winning 100 EUR back from some UFC match or an EPL game.  Speaking of which, I'm looking at the Brighton vs Tottenham fixture.  The draw no bet for Tottenham at 2.21 looks decent.  If the game ends in a draw, you get your money back.  Wink

Tottenham hasn't lost in their last couple away matches and hasn't even conceded a goal in an away game yet.  So high chance at least this is a draw.  Grin Grin

17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / [ASTER] AsterDEX Speculation on: September 19, 2025, 01:58:45 PM
So yeah..  There's a new DEX in town and it's called AsterDEX.  And this is not your usual DEX like Uniswap or Aerodome.  This one is a perps and spot DEX like Hyperliquid.  But here's the thing...  The guys behind AsterDEX are the same people behind YZi Labs. 

If you guys didn't know, YZi Labs is the rebranded version of Binance Labs.  So that means CZ is behind AsterDEX to compete directly against Hyperliquid. 

Will ASTER moon like HYPE?  We'll see...  Wink
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Airdrops speculations thread on: September 19, 2025, 01:42:48 PM
^  It's not just a rumor...  The guys at Base actually said they're exploring the idea of launching a token.  That's a huge change in direction from saying that they don't have any plans of launching a token to exploring the idea of launching a token, don't you think?  Wink

I think their reason to launch a token is for their upcoming Base app.  So it will prolly get a lot of mindshare.

As for how they'll launch it, it's prolly gonna be an airdrop like how Arbitrum did it or thru an ICO.  Would like it either way.  Grin

If the Manchester City manager job becomes available, I cannot see any reason why Arteta would leave Arsenal to take over at Manchester City. The only way I see Arteta applying for the Manchester City job is if he was already unemployed or if he were managing a small club outside the big European leagues.

He is not far away from building a squad that would be capable of winning the Premier League. Unless something goes seriously wrong at Arsenal, I would be surprised if they did not win it within the next five years.




Not saying it's a sure thing but I think football managers in Europe dream to win trophies with different clubs and achieve more as a manager.

And not just that, making a lot money is another huge motivator for these guys.  Arteta also worked with Guardiola for a while at City and was once said to be earmarked to replace Pep.  He prolly still is imho.  Wink

So yeah...  Let's see what happens in a couple of years.  But I wouldn't be surprised to see if Arteta really does go to City.
