I was mostly talking about hypothetical scenario as per the first post, so we can't assume what price they would be sold for and whether or not there's a purchase agreement in place. I just wanted to discuss market mechanisms.

But in respect of Saylor's specific situation, then I guess, since he sold his shares to Microstrategy itself, it shouldn't have made any dent on the company's market cap (psychological impact on the market aside). Buying own shares by the company would mean there are fewer shares in circulation which would be balanced by lower reserves (lowered by the amount they paid for shares), so the net effect should be none.

Hey. I just repaid the loan in full (few days earlier than agreed). I've sent you transaction details in the PM just now.
Please confirm.
Thanks again!

Goold old times I think a huge chunk of us have started our adventure with crypto by claiming faucets and giveaways. I know I have. My very first posts on this forum were in giveaway threads, some for altcoins that are long dead.
To me it wasn't even about getting "money" for free as much as it was about the novelty of experiencing something new and exciting. It was really fun to see the first sats coming into your wallet.

There are still some faucets around, the biggest one is freebitco.in, operating uninterrupted since 2013. Of course, due to transaction fees, they don't send it straight to user wallets.

I am not going to lie, I'm hoping for that too (if that fight happens at all).
I don't think Alex is as easy to be taken down as many might think, as takedown defence was most likely his primary focus since he moved from kickboxing to MMA, but any fighter with a solid wrestling/grappling background could do it.
Past-prime Błachowicz managed to take him down 3 times, but couldn't keep him there for too long, and only lost by a split-decision.


Sorry, I missed that post previously.
Who wanted a championship fight? Prochazka? Hi "wanting" something doesn't have much weight on the UFC's match making decisions. He had his shot not that long ago and lost, so have to rebuild his top contender position with at least one more win.

But isn't it like saying that dumping bitcoins would have no impact on the price because someone else will buy it, so it's just a change in ownership (which is obviously not true)?
Aren't the shares of the company, in the scenario laid out in the first post, essentially "wrapped" bitcoins (wrapped as shares)?
I already pointed out one mechanism of how the price could be affected in my post above. Just wondering if there's anything more to it that I'm missing.

Niestety aktywność na polskiej części forum mocno siadła i coraz trudniej o szybką i konkretną odpowiedź.
Ja też niestety za bardzo ci nie pomogę, bo choć rozważalem taką opcję to się na to nie zdecydowałem. Zniechęcił mnie trochę brak szczególowych informacji jak Binance radzi sobie z rozwiązywaniem sporów, a także potencjalne problemy legalne.
Gdybyś chciał to zrobić w pełni legalnie i oficjalnie to pewnie wiązałoby się to z założeniem działalności i pewnie ze spełnieniem szeregu wymogów i prawdopodobnie specjalnych licencji itp.

Masz tu artykuł który trochę sprawę wyjaśnia:

I'm not sure about how fast withdrawals are, but I experienced some delay in crediting winnings for one of my winning bets. The first time I contacted customer support, I was told they rely on their providers to process bets which can sometimes result in a few hours of wait.
I contacted them again today (after 2 days) and they had to sort that out manually. I have to give it to them that their live support is really fast and helpful. That's a plus as some bugs/glitches are always expected in newly established casinos.

RIP mixers
They will be missed.

I think it's kind of grey area for many campaigns that are not explicitly asking participants to wear avatars, but they provide such so it could be assumed/implied that wearing them is a requirement.
We could potentially end up in a weird situation when people could be advertising two competing businesses simultaneously, in the avatar and signature.

So these were the "experts" you were referring to?


You seem to not be considering cash as an asset. He traded stocks backed by the best-performing asset in the world (in his own words) for one of the worst assets out there (cash). So, unless he needed that ~$400 mils to pay his bills or for some specific purchase or everyday expenses - he did go against what he preached.
If you watch his past interviews, he was not a proponent of buying low and selling at the top, but more of holding forever, because there is no second best that would be worth exchanging bitcoins for.


Shun the non-believer!!! 

Here we are. The full-time result. I don't think anyone expected it to go that easy for Arsenal. That goal in the 4th minute really set the tone of the game.
Chelsea fans can feel disappointed, as their team couldn't do much against Arsenal's defence and they only managed to produce 1 shot on target.

Arsenal now sits at the top of the table with 4 points advantage over Man City, who have 2 games more to play, but the pressure now is much higher on the City.

Absolutely everyone in the light heavyweight would love to fight him. He's the best opponent out there. He built a solid brand and will bring in a lot of views which converts to good money for both sides. And he's the champ, so not much shame in losing to him and it won't affect the ranking place of the losing fighter too much.

If Pereira doesn't fancy moving up to the heavyweight, he will almost certainly be matched up against Ankalaev, who, in my opinion, would have a big chance of beating Alex due to him being an all-rounder with Sambo as his base sport (which includes a lot of wrestling), so he would pose the biggest challenge to Alex in terms of defending takedowns etc.
My money would be on Ankalaev, even though I don't like his style too much.

Rules would be broken if I dropped the signature but still demanded the payment, which is not the case. I left Airbet and informed Hhampuz about that.
So maybe don't be rushing with judgements and slandering people publicly, it doesn't make you look as good as you think it does.
 

What do you guys think about the Canelo Vs Munguia fight, which is not far away, on 4th May.
Bookies seem to be thinking it's going to be smooth sailing for Canelo. I'm not that big of a boxing fan and haven't been following Munguia's career that closely, but his record and KO rate (of almost 80%) look quite impressive.

Odds are very similar to Canelo Vs Bivol, when the Mexican was a big favorite but got outclassed by the Russian.


Are these fair or misplaced? Worth putting a few $ on Munguia?

They already have like three dozen applicants, but I sense a big portion of them just put their names down after seeing the topic updated to [open] and likely not realising it's just an avatar campaign.
But there are always a lot of people who are not enrolled in any campaign and they'd be happy to take whatever there's available at the moment.

Rome wasn't built in a day as they say.
If you stick around and start watching KC events regularly, you'll get more familiar with fighters and get to know their strengths/weaknesses.
I agree that KC could use some more structured tournaments/championships, especially in the area of submission grappling. They do have "pit submission series" but, as far as I know, those are just exhibition matches with no title at stake etc.
If the design of the pit is somehow IP-protected, then there's a big potential there, as the design solves a lot of problems that the classic open mats have. If they play it well, they could grow bigger and more prestigious than the ADCC. It will take some time, but it's possible.

Looks like avatar-only campaigns are back on the menu:


I don't think we've seen them in a long while (or maybe I was just unaware of that).
$1 per post sounds like pretty decent rate, given avatars do not even include clickable links and are more about building brand recognition than generating new sign ups.

That's logical, but the whole problem is that Stipe won't fight Tom. I believe it was Tom who confirmed that in one of the interviews, freshly after Jon's injury was announced.
Frankly, from Stipe's perspective, it would be a stupid move to make. He's effectively (but not officially) retired so will only go for a huge money fight, meaning Jon Jones. Not a bad plan: step into the octagon, dance around, get KOed, get paid, announce retirement and live happily ever after.
But if he were to accept a fight with Aspinal and lose, there would be zero chance of him getting to fight Jones. So it was either Aspinall or Jones for him, and a Jones fight obviously pays incomparably better.

Now, some could say that UFC could force Stipe (or Jones) into certain fights, but the truth is, they don't have much leverage on fighters who are already secured financially and on the verge of retirement. If the UFC put their foot down and said "You have to fight X or you won't fight ever again", they'd just say No and move on to other things, and the UFC would lose a lot on potential income.

Coming back from that was nothing short of a football miracle. They didn't even have to win or even draw, as they are already secured as the new Bundesliga champions, but denying Dortmund the win, just reinforced Leverkusen's invincibility aura.

Unfortunately for Dortmund, they are now 2 points behind Leipzig for the 4th place. Both teams will be facing each other next week, so Dortmund will have to win that away game if they're hoping to finish in the top 4.

After scoring an equaliser in the 97th minute of the game against Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen confirmed to be impossible to defeat this season.
The oddsmakers seem to agree by placing them as decisive favourite to win the Europa League with odds at x1.75.
The second place goes to Atalanta with odds at x4.0.

Leverkusen is having an absolutely phenomenal season with zero losses and a chance to break Bundesliga's points record.

It's still possible for them to technically not lose a game but still drop out of the EL if they lose by penalty shootout.

I think Tom has made it clear that he doesn't want to be sitting idle and waiting for Jones and the UFC still wants Jones to fight Stipe.
I don't think there's even any date set for Jon Vs Stipe and who knows if Jones will even accept to fight Tom and if so, how soon after the Miocic fight.

Money wise, Pereira Vs Aspinal would be the best option for both and Alex wouldn't even have anything on the line (other than health). But yeah, that would be unfair to Ankalaev, who definitely deserves the shot. But the option could be be for Alex to temporarily vacate his belt and let Ankalaev fight for it with Prochazka.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Prochazka or Hill Vs Jan Blachowicz, and if Jan performed badly, it would be a good time for him to retire. But apparently Jan just had another shoulder surgery, so will be out for some time.

What do you guys think about Prochazka Vs Hill? Would it make sense, and who would you put your money on?
