That means by the end of 2009 his record should stand at 45 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws

That is quite an impressive record, but at that time and right now. No shame in losing out to those very talented boxers.
At this point in time, I think his attention should be solely on his mental health. If we are lucky to see another mega main event like Pacman vs Mayweather, that'd be great, but if not, he should pick his opponents shrewdly
.
His last fight shows he still got it in him, but for how long?
5322  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When altcoin price increase on: July 24, 2019, 04:08:58 AM
The bull run of 2017, which can be said to be the first actual price bubble saw many alternative currencies multiply in value at a higher rate than Bitcoin, and during the ensuing bear turn, majority of those altcoins dumped hard, and they were exposed for their lack of actual product value.
This drove majority of investors back to Bitcoin. Also the spike is also caused partly by operations in Bitcoin itself such as the halving, hence the current emphasis on Bitcoin.
Altcoins would rise, but I don't think at the rate it did the last time.
5323  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Projects Paying Out in Bitcoin or Ethereum Instead of Bounty Native Token on: July 24, 2019, 04:02:29 AM
Most projects would not want to actually invest in bounty hunters, rather they would prefer to pay them in the currency they generated, and base the payment on a wide speculative value.

Only project developers who are confident in the potential value of their currency can actually offer to pay all or part of the bounty reward in Bitcoin or preferably any other top ten cryptocurrency by market cap.
5324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: July 23, 2019, 05:36:32 PM
I usually do not bet on tournaments I do not actively follow up and the pre qualifiers to the Europa league is one of them. The qualifiers proper would kick off at the start of the season when clubs would have returned from their preseason tours.
That would spicing up the tournament and attract more bookies and more exciting odds.
5325  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price, am I right? on: July 23, 2019, 04:54:03 PM
Demand and supply is basically the main factors in the market dynamics of Bitcoin. There are many other factors which affect customers willingness to buy such factors can cause fear, panic, and drive people to dump i.e sell at a lower price than it's worth, it can also lead to FOMO and make investors come in regardless of the growing prices.

The media plays an important role in investor behavior and affects our decisions, so it's also an important price determinant.
5326  Economy / Economics / Re: FED Chairmain compares Bitcoin to Gold on: July 23, 2019, 04:48:29 PM
He actually portrayed Bitcoin in it's actual form and how it has matured over the years. Speculation is the main reason most are in cryptocurrency now, the potential for growth, and this is tied to volatility which I would say is gradually on the decline.

Coming from him considering the position he holds fives Bitcoin a higher level of publicity.
With volatility and mass adoption would Bitcoin become more useful as a means of making payment? That we would see in the coming years.
5327  Economy / Economics / Re: Northeast Asian messenger apps doing blockchain business on: July 23, 2019, 03:49:12 PM
Asia in my opinion has few of the most cryptocurrency friendly Nations, which support the integration of the blockchain technology and growth of upstarts.
Some other countries on the continent are currently very averse to the idea of cryptocurrency.

But, worldwide industries are already isolating cryptocurrency from the blockchain technology and using it in different forms other than method of transferring funds.
5328  Other / Archival / Re: Is KYC benefit to crypto people or not on: July 23, 2019, 03:43:22 PM
KYC is one of the process in customer verification, which is necessary for exchanges and sites which have to confirm with certain regulations. And to an extent regulations, are necessary, so yes KYC is also. This serves as the major advantage, it also helps to reduce the rate of scamy ICOs.
It's disadvantages borders majorly on identity theft.
5329  Other / Meta / Re: How many posts deleted will lead to temporary ban (the first one)? on: July 23, 2019, 09:55:56 AM
I do not think spamming results in permanent bans for those involved, except in cases of newly opened accounts which can be nuked if they spam excessively and their posts deleted as well.
Not all forum rules violations result in bans.

Moderators use their personal discretion in handling their various sections and the same rules do not always apply.
5330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KYC Process (Sportsbook) on: July 23, 2019, 07:07:24 AM
The worst thing about KYC is when they ask you to submit your private keys, that means its a scam.

I have never come across a KYC process which required one to submit their wallet address, and doubt there is. Such information is not needed to prove the identity of someone and also is not meant to be shared.
5331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Exchanges are not recommended. on: July 23, 2019, 07:00:22 AM
Fake volume is reputed to be present on even the top exchanges, it's somewhat a reality that traders and investors are to cope with. Reason why I do not much value trading volume as a criterion when searching for a cryptocurrency project to get involved in, I look for other parameters, which are more difficult to falsify.

Always be safe on exchanges, do not store your funds.
Invest only what you can afford to lose.
And do your research.
5332  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Dominance rising again. What is happening? on: July 22, 2019, 05:06:40 PM
The most recent bear market exposed a lot of ICOs and alternative e currencies. I know of a number of reputable ICO/STO managers who pulled out due to lack of credible projects. Only the projects with actual products and use case survived.
This action caused most to lose faith in most altcoins and shift to Bitcoin and the few alts that actually have product value, hence the rise in BTC dominance.
Also the current mini bull run started with Bitcoin while other currencies were slow at growing, FOMO drove investors to BTC as well.
5333  Economy / Economics / Re: Crimes involving crypto have risen on: July 22, 2019, 04:59:27 PM
I do not think that regulation is a solution to financial crimes involving cryptocurrency. Fiat currencies are regulated but has been a tool for crime long before Bitcoin was invented.
I also do not share the notion that it is easier to engage in crimes using cryptocurrency, that's the idea most governments are selling to deter their citizens from getting involved in it.

Now, there needs to be some form of regulation so the cryptocurrency space does not become a sea of scammers. Exchanges and up starts should be audited for credibility. And investors and traders should be sensitized on proper ways to safeguard their wallets.
5334  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: IMPORTANT NEWBIES ADVICE! For your own safety! on: July 21, 2019, 12:38:03 PM
I've come across such a case, where an individual gave access to someone he thought was a member of an ICO team to help fix his wallet (the project had a separate blockchain). And the imposter made away with all the funds he/she had on that wallet.

Also if you're a bag holder in any currency, it's preferable to have a separate device for the safekeeping of your assets, different from the one you use to browse and visit sites. This reduces the risks of falling victim to some malicious link.

You imagine the hell that even bank cards can be used by other family members. This is not a problem in Europe.

That is not quite accurate, and banks do not support that.
It really doesn't matter to the general forum who is behind the keyboard, as long as you follow the rules and engage constructively.
It's not a permanent ban.
Whoever is posting should have a good command of English, or prioritize posting on local boards.
As @jetcash also noted, take lessons on English, it's not everyone's first language, but it's the standard in the forum.

5337  Economy / Reputation / Re: Can I be negative rated for doing this? on: July 20, 2019, 08:51:58 AM
This is the actual link referenced in the trust flag.
Because last time I checked, negatives where when you did evil stuff
Trust flags are designed to be used for alleged scams and high risked profiles

For joining this signature campaign?

You did not get a negative free back gor joining a signature campaign. The campaign manager, LiveCoin Manager and the warning sign displays when thread created by that profile is viewed.
5338  Other / Meta / Re: Application to be a merit source in the French section on: July 20, 2019, 06:45:02 AM
There is a process to applying to be a merit source that has to be followed. One of which you missed out is providing ten quality post which you deem worth of merits, it tells of you ability to determine which posts to award merits to.

If you want to be a merit source:

 1. Be a somewhat established member.
 2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
 3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.

I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.

I do not believe links to your personal forums would matter. You should be a somewhat established member  here on bitcointalk.
I believe he's somewhat established member

I didn't state otherwise, only that I don't think expertise somewhere else would matter here.
I am very open to every rank becoming merit sources as I think it expresses inclusion, especially of lower ranked users.
Good luck, @TheWolf666 on your application.
5339  Other / Meta / Re: Grandfathered Rep on: July 19, 2019, 06:50:37 PM
The introdiction of trust flags (which is solely for scam cases) means that the previous trust system now serves to define the general trustworthiness of a member, which can have various interpretations. I would agree that it had been misused in the past, which k believe is one of the reasons flags were introduced in the first place.
5340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Cup Of Nations 2019 - Discussion Thread on: July 19, 2019, 06:41:52 PM
I do not write get while majority are viewing algeriayas the under dogs, they have been brilliant so far in this tournament, arguably the best team up till this point. And they are also more successful than Senegal in previous AFCON competitions. It would be a tight match, and also a great watch.
