-cut-
But ETHW on the other hand is supported by one of the OG miners that helped bring about ETC and many of the ETH miners need a chain to go to continue mining. So no, I don't think ETHW will end up like those obscure BTC forks. It will be around longer than anticipated imho.
-cut-
Well one could say that ETC was garbage as well so i don't see any more point with ethw. I agree that it can't be compared to any btc forks as it's more like eth2.0 is a fork of ethw. Yet i can't see any sensible developer building anything meaningful on top of ethw. There could be some devs trying to cash out with the community support. Because obviously ethW will have SOME community left that support it and would like to buy if anything gets developed on it. Oh.. yeah for sure. From a developer's perspective, ETHW is def a dead end. Lol. No way any project gets massive attention in the space if it's developed using ETHW. And at the same time, no way any serious project will even choose ETHW.  I'm talking more about the market and the longevity of the coin as long as it's being supported by a couple of the bigger exchanges in the space. As long as there's some possbility that it could trend up in a bull market, there def will be people who want to hold and trade it. It's all about number go up. But I bet you already know that.  |

I think what's best for Ronaldo is to play the rest of his pro career back in Portugal.
His current problem is, the ego that doesn't want to admit he has begun to lose his power. Technique, stamina we can already see, he is not as strong and good as when he was young. His ego didn't want to be taken down, he felt he was still quite capable yet he was wrong. If comparing with Messi is certainly far away, Ronaldo is two years older, it is natural that Messi is still quite good at PSG. Let's see where he's going? I think he must have moved, but I don't know where. That's why he needs to play at a lower tier European league now like the Portuguese league. He'll be at home, be still respected and he'll still be the man at his age since the players around him won't be as high level as the top leagues. I mean the level of play in Portugal is still high don't get me wrong but if compared to the EPL, it's different. And he still has a chance to play in the UCL if he's at Porto or Lisbon. But I think he has to take a pay pay cut tho amd be creative in how to generate some income. Prolly some profit sharing deal from shirt sales or something. |

Rafael dos Anjos vs. Bryan Barberena 170 lbs
That is strange fight imho. RDA is a lightweight, currently on top7 position. Bryan Barberena is a welterweight and is unranked. I dont understand RDA future plans. This is not the first time he RDA jumping from one division to another. Getting a higher position in top of lightweight is harder (Dariush only looks less stronger than others, but he is a series of wins, he is probably a next challenger for a title fight) than in welterweight, so RDA decided to fight in welterweight, and if he looses, he wont loose positions in top (as he is not in top15 of welterweight). Such a simple strategy to look better than really is. For real, why RDA is top7 in lightweight with such a record? His record looks more like a zebra (win-lose-win-lose-win...) Dos Anjos fought in 170 more than 5 times after having two straight losses at 155. He then moved down to 155 but then looks like he's moving back up again after losing to Rafael Fiziev. As for his future plans, there's none. He's prolly fighting to finish off his contract before retiring from the UFC. He's almost 40 years old and he prolly wants to fight in 170 so he wouldn't have to go through a gruelling weight cut. I think he wins vs Barbarena in a three rounder but he's now susceptible of getting KO'd after Fiziev. I dont think that RDA is planning to retire. He has fought big names. No matter of the fights results, people remember him, so I think he will stay in UFC. Or better say UFC will keep him to sell tickets. He would be sort of a gate keeper. He will be like Clay Guida, that fights in prelims. No matter that he has a bad record and usually losses than wins, no matter that he is 40, UFC keep him for ages. Maybe he's not retiring per se but I don't think he'll be given another contract by the UFC once his current deal runs out. That explains the move up to 170 and weird match up vs Barbarena. He's just prolly taking the first available offer given to him and get it over with. Anyway, here's a match to remind everybody what happened between these two and why there's a rematch.  If Teixeira didn't get tired, he would've def won the match and be one of the oldest guys to win a belt in the UFC. I was rooting for Prochazka and had him in my parlays but would've been also happy if Teixeira won. Would've loved to see it.

^ 12k? Oof that's gonna hurt for sure. I'm back and forth between 'we hit the bottom' and 'we're going to see another leg down below 15k'. The logic behind 'we already hit bottom' is the FTX fiasco, which I consider to be waaay worse than Gox's fiasco, didn't even put much of a dent on the price. I'd expect a hit that huge would bring BTC lower than where it ended up being. I mean sure it broke down June lows but 15k - 16k isn't a long way off from 17.5k. I think there just aren't any more sellers left. |

By looking at many forks of Bitcoin which turn to be dead projects, dead networks, I don't expect good future for ETHW. How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? You will be surprised!!!If you use Coinmarketcap or Coingecko and search with Ethereum to find Ethereum forks, you will find many coins which have Ethereum in their names. Not all of Ethereum forks have Ethereum in their names and there are actually more forks than results when you search with Ethereum keyword. Which BTC forks are we talking about? The really obscure ones? Yup those are totally trash that would end up dead. But ETHW on the other hand is supported by one of the OG miners that helped bring about ETC and many of the ETH miners need a chain to go to continue mining. So no, I don't think ETHW will end up like those obscure BTC forks. It will be around longer than anticipated imho. And it's supported by some of the rather larger exchanges like Kraken and Bitfinex. That's huge for the longevity and staying power of the project. |

^ I'm starting to think when Guardiola and City showed interest on Ronaldo was nothing but a master class in reverse psychology which caused United to panic and react in a manner they wanted. Lol. They prolly knew United acquiring Ronaldo would be a problem once he's in the team.
And of course Solskjaer intended to let Ronaldo play regularly because why would he decide to acquire him to be on the bench? But he's a problem.
I think what's best for Ronaldo is to play the rest of his pro career back in Portugal.

Argentina 4-0 Saudi Arabia
several goals and declared offside I'm still not sure about more than 3 goals, it seems 2 - 0 or 3 - 0 is better, seeing as Saudi Arabia has also carried out attacks well on Argentina's defense several times, so I think 1 - 0 will last in the first half and maybe then add goals in the second half later Those "after a couple of minutes" offside calls after making them think they have those goals in the first half got to Argentina and might have caused an adrenaline dump among their players. They weren't the same in the second half. And that's what I hate about VAR. It spoils the game and makes it frustrating to watch. I mean you celebrate a goal then a couple of minutes later it's declared not a goal because of a marginal offside. :/ Anyway this match with Denmark and Tunisia have Denmark bettors sweating rn. Lol. Tunisia is looking good. |

Did anybody watch ONE FC? Christian mother fking Leeeee! The guy is one tough mother fker! He just won another belt at ONE's 170 weight class in what was a really good match albiet both got a bit fatigued.
In hindsight, I think Lee's camp knew their guy could take on Abbasov as Abbasov just fought at 205 and lost and it's a huge weight cut going back to 170. And it showed as Abbasov missed weight. Christian Lee went in there as the fresher guy being a true 155'er moving up in weight. So that means almost no weight cut needed for him.
Nope! I haven't watched the Live, and I am still looking for the replay of the fight, Christian Lee take the KO/TKO by getting a takedown ground and pound, they also got a Filipino fighter that is Stephen Loman, that won against Bibiano Fernandes, surely it was one epic fight but I will still rewatch the match yet, First round Lee almost got starched but was still concious enough to go try for a TD and get his bearings back. Around R2 both of them started getting tired but they were still going at it. The whole match they were going at it even tho it slowed down a bit at later rounds. But still, it was an impressive finish by Lee. Next for 4 days we will have a big event of 2022 PFL World Championship, after 6 regular season and 3 playoff matches, now it's time for the championship. We have 7 main card, but the biggest is Kayla Harrison vs Larissa Pacheco since this is the trilogy and Pacheco haven't win against Harrison. But this time could be different. This PFL Pacheco has an amazing result as she can win via TKO.  So this is the quick card of this event: Kayla Harrison vs. Larissa Pacheco 155 lbs Brendan Loughnane vs. Bubba Jenkins 145 lbs Ante Delija vs. Matheus Scheffel 265 lbs Julia Budd vs. Aspen Ladd 145 lbs Stevie Ray vs. O. Aubin-Mercier 155 lbs Dilano Taylor vs. Sadibou Sy 170 lbs Omari Akhmedov vs. Rob Wilkinson 205 lbs Sheymon Moraes vs. Marlon Moraes 135 lbs Natan Schulte vs. Jeremy Stephens 155 lbs M. Magomedkerimov vs. Gleison Tibau 170 lbs Dakota Ditcheva vs. K. Corogenes 125 lbs Biaggio Ali Walsh vs. Tom Graesser 155 lbs Source: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/87841-pfl-2022-10-championshipsOof I see some familiar fighters in there. Ladd, Stevie Ray, Akhmedov, Moraes and Stephens.  Didn't know the UFC also cut Ladd from the roster. |

A crypto fanatic on youtube said ETH pow will survive and many projects will build on it some months ago, I don't remember his name anymore but he is a popular fellow.
To my surprise new projects are still building on the old Ethereum ( ETHPoW ), few of the projects are successful through funds raising but I'm curious what makes developers to keep building on an outdated chain.
Any thought?
I see very few people on the forum that are interested in ETHW, I have also done some research on it and can say, ETHW should be interested and put on the watchlist for the next bull season. According to some news that I know, currently most of ETHW is being held by miners a lot and retail investors have sold out after receiving the airdrop and these miners are mostly from China. Personally, I think there will be a big pump in the future for ETHW for miners to sell and you should note that currently binance is still holding ETHW but they are not open for trading. Be careful. I made the same mistake during the last bull market by holding a lot more ETC than ETH. I still made a decent amount but I would've made more if I just held more in ETH. The thing is if you're trying to decide if you're better off holding ETH or a fork of ETH then always look at how the fork is performing against ETH. There are ETHW/ETH charts in Trading View... So if ETHW/ETH is trending up, hold ETHW. If it's trending down just hold ETH. |

It is not a hack the Bahamian government are seizing their assets.
I thought that the seized assets will either stay as they were, either will be sold for fiat. But selling for Bitcoin...? looks a bit suspicious to me. ...Not that I'd mind to see a government have more trust in bitcoin than fiat. Lol. Whoever is in control of those coins is def laundering them. Why convert to BTC? That's because BTC is easier to launder than ETH after the Tornado Cash debacle. We can't even be sure anymore if the news about the coins held by the Bahamian government and the coins held by the hacker are the same thing. It could all be smoke and mirrors at this point as there are some groups out there who want to steal it for themselves. What they could do is convert to renBTC, then to real BTC, deposit to lower tier exchanges and convert to XMR. From there it could go anywhere. |

The season is over and congratulations Max. Although they became champions by exceeding the budget, I would like to congratulate Redbull separately and wish Ferrari and Mercedes a heavy loss. While it was known that redbull would exceed the budget before the half of the season came, neither Ferrari nor Mercedes could take any action. Everyone knew that Redbull would get a small penalty and get rid of it. Binotto missed the opportunity. You are the brand of this sport, you have been obsessed since the beginning of the year about the budget. Just improve your car. Do not care about the fine, look at redbull, the guys developed the car and became champions. The result is a three cent penalty. Congratulations to Marko and Horner, they manupilate f1 management easily.
Toto, on the other hand, was a smart man, but the wrong concept of the vehicle ruined all his work, otherwise he would have forced Redbull again this year. No matter how hard they tried, the train had run away from the beginning.
Ferrari must immediately part ways with binotto, sainz, strategy and the pit crew or they will be more frustrated. It feels like next year we will watch a championship between max and mercedes again. Ferrari is not in this race.
^ Yeah they blamed 'catering costs' that they didn't include as part of the spend they used to develop the car. And sure it's prolly just a lame excuse. But next season and with the fine and the penalty on Red Bull, if they come out still winning the next season, what would that say about Merc and Ferrari? :/ Everybody thinks the pressure is on Red Bull but really there could be more pressure on the other top teams. Now they have no excuse and would have to win the next season. Can't wait for next season... Let the memes and the banter commence. |

^ Me and my friends love to kid around and go 'USA USA USA!' whenever they're on. I do think they'll win vs Wales later. So yeah... USA USA USA! Anyway... England is up by three goals goals rn with a couple or so minutes left left to play before HT. And it's really nice to see Southgate start Bellingham. I guess that's one leg I got winning in my parlay. Oh and so Qatar didn't bribe Ecuador enough then? |

Very disappointed to see the previous UFC fight night main event got cancelled, however the next UFC event is also fight night and it will happen on December 4 or next 2 weeks. I think the next main event would be more interesting since Thompson vs Holland is 50/50, much harder to predict. The other match is also interesting to watch: Barberena vs Dos Anjos, Nicolau vs Schnell and Tuivasa vs Pavlovich.  UFC Fight Night Quick Card: Date: December 3, Saturday Main Card: 9pm ET Preliminary Card: 7pm ET Venue: Amway Center, Orlando, Florida Main CardStephen Thompson vs. Kevin Holland 170 lbs Rafael dos Anjos vs. Bryan Barberena 170 lbs Matheus Nicolau vs. Matt Schnell 125 lbs Tai Tuivasa vs. Sergei Pavlovich 265 lbs Derek Brunson vs. Jack Hermansson 185 lbs Eryk Anders vs. Kyle Daukaus 185 lbs Preliminary CardNiko Price vs. Philip Rowe 170 lbs Angela Hill vs. Emily Ducote 115 lbs Clay Guida vs. Scott Holtzman 155 lbs Michael Johnson vs. Marc Diakiese 155 lbs Darren Elkins vs. Jonathan Pearce 145 lbs Tracy Cortez vs. Amanda Ribas 125 lbs Natan Levy vs. Genaro Valdéz 155 lbs Francis Marshall vs. Marcelo Rojo 145 lbs Yazmin Jauregui vs. Istela Nunes 115 lbs Source: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/91801-ufc-fight-night^ Added a little more info there. I hope you don't mind... Anyway, that's a decent event for just Fight Night. Make the main event a championship event and it could pass for a PPV event imho... At first glance, it's a parlayable event with the favorites looking like their opponents won't give them any surprises. Except maybe for a couple or so of them. Brunson could surprise Hermansson, so will Schnell and Michael Johnson. And prolly even Guida..? :/ And the books have Thompson vs Holland as a coin flip. I think Thompson is washed and Holland might look like more than a 1.50 favorite. |

Verstappen won 15 of the 22 races. Is anyone ever going to beat that record again? Certainly at the beginning of the season, no one saw that coming. At the beginning of the season, Leclerc was still able to catch up, but after that it was over for Ferrari. It's a pity for Perez that he didn't manage to get 2nd place, otherwise he would have also taken 2nd place in the general classification. All in all, a supsr season for Red Bull, and let's hope that next season will be a lot more exciting and that Hamilton can also participate in the title fight.
I don't we could say that it's really surprsing or 'no one saw it coming'. At the start of the 2022 season, anybody who follows F1 more closely would already have some sort of inkling that either Verstappen or Hamilton could somewhat win majority of the races with Leclerc as the dark horse. So who watched the race? And how was it? I should have watched it as it was Vettel's final race but I forgot. Lol. I already liked him when everybody was annoyed by him and the finger during his younger years. But in the end he was one of the most liked personalities in the sport. He's a good guy. |

This surely does not mean that the markets will revive so fast the way we saw during previous bull runs. Firstly Luna and then FTX have worsened everything, else we were going to see some great moves during November and December.
My take... Great moves, nope. But yeah I think November or December could've been a bit better for BTC if the whole FTX thing didn't happen. But then again and I'm not trying to break everybody's bubble, but December historically hasn't really been good for BTC or altcoins. Now I know I've been saying that the bottom could be in but looking at the chart again now makes me feel like it could go for another leg down. Dunno... |

^ At this point of the season, I hope something exciting happens. Lolol. Mercedes are just as most people expected. They are stronger from now on and they are again a big challenge for Red Bull drivers. I think we will watch another domination by Russell and Hamilton on podium. This time Hamilton might go for the win on his last attempts for a win in this season. Russell got his first career win in the previous race so he might race a little more comfortably maybe.
I'm curious about what Perez and Verstappen will do this time as well. After the recent incidents I can't predict what can happen if we see some competition between them in the race.
In the end, it's F1 after all... And in order to get pole position and win races, you need a really good car besides having a really good driver. That's why Mercedes dominated the sport for 8 years prior to Red Bull winning it with Verstappen last season. Anyway here are the results for quali. I didn't watch it because I... forgot. Lmao. And I didn't really care much about it anymore and had no interest taking a little action in it as the lines really have no value.
