If this was a real fight then Cotto would be the obvious favorite. He fought as high as middleweight and Marquez fought at welter but never had much success at that weight. His best weight class was lightweight. Cotto is not very tall so it is more of the natural weight difference that is his biggest advantage.

Both guys retired due to injuries and neither really needs the money so it is surprising that they will step into the ring again. These exhibition fights seem to be big trend now. In the last few days we've heard about Oscar de la Hoya and Anderson Silva participating in these types of bouts.

We are once again hearing rumors that this fight will happen. According to The Athletic, they are trying to make this fight for June 5th in Abu Dhabi. Top Rank has already reserved that date with their pay-per-view distributor so they are probably really serious about making this fight. June 5th is also the potential date for Lopez vs. Kambosos but I don't think they are too worried about it because they know fans would rather buy the Pacquiao vs. Crawford fight.

Some cryptocurrencies are complicated to understand such as ethereum but they have managed to become popular. With the right amount of education people will understand why the complexities are necessary. There are other projects like Tron and EOS which I feel are unnecessarily complicated because they have these additional things like bandwidth and RAM. I think at some point it can get confusing to newcomers and it will impact their level of adoption.

Too bad it is only a custodial service. I don't think you can even deposit bitcoin on PayPal yet.I don't really see the point of buying what is supposed to represent bitcoin only to spend it as USD. It is much simpler to just use your USD balance directly and avoid any exchange fees.

This is a good evenly matched fight. The undercard is also interesting because we will see Donnie Nietes resume his career after years of inactivity.

I'm leaning towards Frampton beating out Herring. Herring is an awkward fighter and he will make it an ugly fight. They are both relatively old for the sport and have a lot of wear and tear. I expect Frampton to use his better skillset to win a decision.

That's why I rarely accept these bonuses. You end up putting time and effort into meeting their requirements only to find out that it was a trap all along and they never intended for you to actually every cash out. These deals are just too good to be true much of the time.

I would be upset that my bitcoin didn't have the same purchasing power as before but I would see it as a great opportunity to accumulate more BTC. Something catastrophic would have to happen for the price to go down that low so it is an unlikely scenario. I'm not really obsessed with the price so it would only be a minor inconvenience to me if it did happen.

Bitcoin is permissionless so there is nothing that can be considered an 'official' use. People are free to use it however they like. I use it mostly as a currency and also for savings. It can be a store of value but you can also spend it more easily than something like gold. As time goes by people will find more uses and maybe some will go away due to higher fees. For example microtransactions is one thing it isn't used for anymore, at least not on layer 1.

That was an impressive performance by Whyte. I don't know if having Covid affected Povetkin because he didn't offer any resistance. With Fury and Joshua signing a two fight deal I don't think Whyte will fight for the title anytime soon. Wilder and Ruiz are with PBC so they won't fight him either. His best option right now is Oleksandr Usyk, which is a good fight because we haven't seen Usyk against this level of fighter at heavyweight.

I haven't researched too much about Stacks but it sounds really interesting. NFTs is only one possible use case but there are many others.

The current buzz around NFTs is mostly around artwork and gaming, which is probably not what most bitcoiners are interested in. Some of the ideas from colored coins could be taken and implemented on Stacks, like buying and selling real world properties.

Right now everybody's attention is on ethereum so it will be an uphill climb to get people to adopt Stacks instead, but I hope it will be a very successful project.

If they are smart then they will go with Bitcoin. There are a lot of people who will end up buying altcoins because they don't know any better. There are people who buy dogecoin simply because Elon Musk is talking about it or because it's trendy to do so. It's in their best interest to ignore the marketing behind altcoins and do their research so they can see why BTC is their best option.

I watched some highlights from the press conference and things got heated. The fighters got physically aggressive but to me it just seems like it might be staged to hype the fight.

Regarding the Oscar de la Hoya announcement, I wonder who his opponent will be. He has previously mentioned GGG's name but he will get seriously hurt if that ever happens.

Both have performed better than traditional investments in recent years. They are a better investment than gold and most stocks. There is also more risk but not significantly more because volatility isn't as extreme as it used to be and people are smarter about security.

I think Bcash used to have something like this called memo.cash. With Bitcoin you can do the same thing but there is a limit to how much arbitrary data can be included in a transaction. Your message will be stored on the blockchain forever but I am not sure why it is necessary to do this. It is not what the Bitcoin blockchain is intended to do and it creates bloat.

I hadn't heard of this company before but it seems like they've been around for a few years. It might not be a scam but it is probably better to invest in bitcoin directly because you don't have to wait a long period to be able to recover your investment.

There is not that many legitimate cloud mining providers out there and the reason for this is because there is really no demand due to the unprofitability.

That's what I was trying to say. It is a mismatch on paper but when they get in the ring I expect Kambosos to win some rounds and make it competitive. I think the odds will move closer because it is not a guarantee that this will be an easy fight. Lopez has had an off night before.

William Hill is the only place I could find that has odds for this fight and they are very similar. They have it Teofimo Lopez -833 / George Kambosos +450. It is not as much of a mismatch as the odds suggest so I would wait a while if you want to bet on Lopez, but you could potentially make some good money if you really believe in Kambosos.

I had my doubts about whether or not Mellow Ads and Coinpot were owned by the same person. Now it has been revealed that forum user 'baztardo' is the person behind both sites even though he had denied this. There is no logical reason to lie about this unless there was something to hide.

I didn't receive a free spin either. This occurs about once or twice a month, but there have been other times where I receive two free spins.

If the website is freezing then it is probably a problem with your PC and not from Freebitco. You should try all the usual troubleshooting steps, e.g. disable extensions, switch to a different browser, etc.

May 29th was also supposed to be the date of the Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield exhibition fight. It appears that they are having trouble with negotiations but if it did get finalized I could see the Lopez vs. Kambosos fight being postponed. There is also another PPV on May 1 from PBC. There is a lot of competition around the same time but it is still going to be difficult for promoters to make up the huge amount of money they bid on this fight regardless of what date it happens.
