701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo - September 30th in Las Vegas on: October 01, 2023, 07:23:35 AM
Who might be Canelo's next opponent? There is nothing for him in super middleweight anymore except more money from other super middleweight fights or maybe if he accepts Bivol's challenge in Canelo's weight division.

In any case, if everyone is listening to Canelo's interview in the ring, it appears he will not retire soon hehehe. Next fight I wish will be vs. Benavidez!

Benavidez is the only fighter worth mentioning. A rematch with Bivol would be a one sided snoozefest. Crawford is too small and would lose similarly to Charlo. Benavidez never lost his belt in the ring and is the current mandatory. Canelo said he didn’t care who was next so there is no excuse for Haymon not to make the fight everybody wants to see.

I believe it is still possible to use Tornado Cash although you will likely encounter problems if you later try to send your mixed coins to a centralized service due to U.S. sanctions.
If your USDT is on Ethereum there is Railgun which can be used to shield your tokens. You can use decentralized exchanges to make a few private swaps and then move those funds into an unshielded wallet.

I agree with most you that Canelo is the superior fighter. He should win this fight…. That being said man those odds seem off. Charlo by decision is a possibility and at +600 its a tremendous opportunity. Charlo is no gatekeeper or journeyman, he is a champ. Canelo is getting up there in age. Its fair to say this will be his last superfight. I saw an interview in Spanish where he was talking about mb doing 3 more fights.l at some point you got to start thinking when does he start falling off a bit…. I don't know if anyone else sees it this way but there is so much value on that prop bet. Anything can happen in a decision…. And i don’t see this fight ending by stoppage.

Charlo is the same age as Canelo so age doesn't matter much. Canelo does have twice as many fights and maybe all that activity and punishment has worn him down more significantly than Charlo. Even a diminished Canelo is still considered one of the best fighters in the world and should be capable enough to win convincingly. Charlo is no pushover but if he's going life and death against guys like Harrison and Castano then it's just impossible to see him doing enough to upset Canelo.

They probably invested in some altcoins after buying into the 'flippening' hype and got rekt. I'm not familiar with the users you mention but that kind of obsessive negativity towards Bitcoin is typical of many shitcoiners. These people like Peter Schiff hate Bitcoin so much that they make themselves look like clowns by making the most outlandish claims about Bitcoin going to zero whenever there is a big dip only to be proven wrong soon after when there is a major rally.
705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ban from a Casino for Nothing Other Than Winning Too Much Money on: September 30, 2023, 10:01:09 PM
I have a feeling Dana might have been exaggerating a little. He even admits at the end of the article that he isn't banned, they just don't want him gambling. Gamblers don't have any legal protection whenever a casino decides to ban them unless they discriminate you based on disability, gender or race. Casinos are just like any other private business and can decide to deny you service for whatever reason. Dana White might be considered high risk for casinos because with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars he can always bet the maximum and clean them out if he was on a hot streak.



Weird that all i see is Dana White's side of the story. Decent news site would definitely like to confirm the casino's side, on the reason why he was banned, because that could differ very much from that.

I mean it's plausible he got kicked from that, but most of the times when people get banned from casinos or any other places, the real reason for it wouldn't make the person look as cool as "he was winning too much". Which i would totally say if someone asked why did i get kicked out from a casino. Not because i was harassing anyone or drank too much.

He was caught on video recently hitting his wife in a nightclub so it's possible that he was banned due to his drunken, violent behavior.

Craig only manages to remain in the headlines because he somehow managed to fool Calvin Ayre into funding his scamming. He lost the case filed against him by Dave Kleiman’s family and owes them over $100 million although it’s unlikely he ever owned the BTC they were fighting over and he will just try and drag this out as much as possible. 

Craig is a scumbag who will keep harassing Bitcoiners with frivolous lawsuits. Maybe these recent losses has some of his backers thinking they are on a sinking ship and that is why they are abandoning him.
707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel when you look at your first Bitcoin wallet? on: September 30, 2023, 07:39:40 AM
My first wallet was a web wallet which I no longer have access to. It is easy not to feel much guilt about my past spending when I have no way of examining those details, although I’m sure I spent what would now be worth thousands on some really minor purchases.

I am really glad that web wallets have become mostly obsolete and people are choosing to custody their funds on their own devices.
708  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Several developers, miners, and researchers reported that Bitcoin mining develop on: September 30, 2023, 05:19:30 AM
Several developers, miners, and researchers reported that Bitcoin mining developer name Marathon Digital mined an invalid block 809478.
means the marathon digital got 6.25BTC for mining an invalid block?
do the invalid block which got mined is placed in a real bitcoin blockchain or any other blockchain? or not added to any blockchain?
and if the invalid block was mined, so of course there were wrong transaction(or transaction from 0 balance wallet) or double spending was happened?

Blocks that don't get included in the main chain are not rewarded on Bitcoin like they are on some altcoin chains. The invalid block would have caused a temporary chain split but the chain which included the block from Marathon would have quickly died off because it is following incompatible rules and nobody would have continued mining on that chain. After the block is rejected from the valid chain everything continues as if it never existed and its transactions remain unconfirmed in the mempool until they're included in a valid block.
709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk - December or January in Saudi Arabia on: September 30, 2023, 12:16:56 AM
Where is now that looser member KTChampions who claimed that Tyson Fury is afraid of Oleksandr Usyk and dont want to fight him?  Grin
I cant wait to see how odds will change in next week weeks but I am betting on Fury without a doubt.
Fight against Francis Ngannou will be a nice warm up for him.

But Fury is a real coward (or did you miss the thread about the Usyk-Fury fight, which was not made just because of Fury's cowardice?) and whatever the final official status of the fight is, it will be an exhibition fight and nothing more.
What a bunch of bollocks that was  Tongue

People always fall for cheap talking points when it reinforces their preferred narrative. It was always obvious that Fury was looking for the best possible deal and wasn't going to give in to unreasonable demands.

I've always believed that Fury would defeat Usyk in dominant fashion and I still stand by that. Fury will use his size to wear Usyk down and stop him in the middle to late rounds. I don't think Usyk is capable of seriously hurting him so Fury might also opt for a more reckless strategy and try to finish the fight early for a more emphatic victory.
710  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [List] Free Tools to speedup BTC transactions on: September 29, 2023, 04:40:28 AM
I know that there is other accelerators, but do they actually work? Does anyone here have experience with services listed above and it worked? I only used ViaBTC and as long as it works, I won't look for alternatives.

I've only used ViaBTC because it was free. I've never used a paid service. I would rather just wait or RBF my transaction. I was interested in mempool.space's accelerator which they demonstrated at the Bitcoin 2023 conference but they have yet to launch it. Binance also has an accelerator where they partner with different pools. https://pool.binance.com/en/acceleration

it does not look that Charlo is two divisions below Canelo. I have no doubts that Canelo gonna win, but Charlo gonna cause him troubles for sure. We would see different Charlo, because he did not have to cut weight to fit into 154. I would not call it a disadvantage for his to fight in new weight class. In fact he risks nothing, as he went up to Canelo territory. While Canelo could lose belts, in case of a loss, Charlo looses nothing. When there is low to lose, he might show different boxing.

Their heights might be somewhat deceiving. We've seen Tank Davis fight taller fighters who were coming up to his weight but it was still a mismatch because of the power difference and being better acclimated to the weight. Canelo is used to fighting bigger and stronger fighters like Kovalev, Callum Smith, and Caleb Plant. Charlo might be able to make weight comfortably but that does not mean he will be able to sustain the punches from Canelo who is by far the heaviest hitter he has faced.

Aside from the obvious red flags from these newbie accounts trying to promote this, I would not trust any random person on Telegram claiming to be a reputable escrow an another platform unless they were able to use PGP to verify themselves. Telegram handles can change ownership as was the case with Houbi exchange's old Telegram account which now belongs to a scammer.

Justin is a control freak and this is just his attempt to grab at whatever he can.

I can’t imagine why a blackface wearing Nazi sympathizer would want to limit people’s free access to information. In his mind Canadians need to be protected from Russian disinformation i.e., anything that makes him look bad, by being manipulated into having opinions which are deemed acceptable to the establishment.
714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: September 28, 2023, 05:08:31 AM

It must be true that Ngannou is the heaviest hitter in UFC thats why its unfortunate to see that if he wins against Fury, Ngannou won't get a belt. So the reason the Ryiad WBC created a belt specially for this fight lol

This is somewhat funny https://bloodyelbow.com/2023/09/09/francis-ngannou-vs-tyson-fury-wbc-belt/

The article didn't say a belt name but they may comeup with something the same as BMF.

The WBC always manages to insert themselves into these high profile events by creating special belts. I'm not sure if they're trying to milk these fighters for some sanctioning fees or if it's some sort of publicity stunt.

I've seen some footage of Ngannou training and he is in great shape and he seems really motivated. Even though money was his primary reason for challenging Fury I don't think it's the only reason. He wants to prove that he is taking this seriously and I expect him to have a much better performance than MMA fighters like Ben Askren and Nate Diaz who barely even bothered to train.
715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo - September 30th in Las Vegas on: September 28, 2023, 03:44:23 AM
Yes, it's another good bet for us here mate, so I might be thinking of throwing good money on that line as well. Charlo thinks that he can beat this version of Canelo and it seems that the media is hyping him up.

But I think Canelo will not go down easily, as we have seen when his critics is on him, he proved them wrong just like his fight with GGG. And when we think that he could be in the sunset of his career or at least losing a step, great boxers usually had a fight that will show that he still has it, just like Manny when he beat Keith Thurman.

After seeing Canelo's recent performances I would be hyped up too if I was Charlo. Canelo is coming from the loss to Bivol and lackluster decision wins against an old GGG and fringe contender John Ryder. The Canelo we have seen recently seems vulnerable. I'm just not too convinced about Charlo having what it takes to defeat a Canelo in decline. His inactivity and being in a new weight class are significant disadvantages. Despite being undisputed, Charlo has never been regarded too highly and is rarely included in any pound for pound lists. This is due to 154 being a weak division that has not allowed him to transcend in the sport.
716  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you deal with financial stress? on: September 28, 2023, 03:03:47 AM
Inflation is a big worry for me. It can be worrisome thinking that you might not have enough money to cover all your expenses. At the start of a new month I will analyze all my expenses and income for the previous month and readjust my budget. Sometimes I have to cut out things that don't provide much long term value like Netflix and Amazon Prime. I like to save most of my money in case of an emergency but with inflation the amount that goes into savings becomes less. Having investments in Bitcoin and some passive sources of income is helpful in providing some financial security.
717  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bybit exits the UK markets amidst regulatory issues. on: September 27, 2023, 05:17:10 AM
Bybit offers derivative and margin trading which is considered more riskier by regulators. There are also other aspects of the exchange, such as their referral and VIP programs, which might have violated new rules which take effect in a few weeks. As one of the largest exchanges it would be difficult for them to be non-compliant without facing any legal trouble. Even PayPal has had to pause the crypto part of their business in the UK.
718  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why China Recognize Bitcoin? on: September 27, 2023, 04:39:11 AM
There are millions of people in China who hold Bitcoin from before it was banned. If if trading and other activity is illegal people are still entitled to protection from theft. It is their property and it may hold substantial value so criminals shouldn't just be allowed to take it. The courts are doing the bare minimum to acknowledge Bitcoin holders' rights but I don't think it means that they will fully reverse their ban anytime soon.
719  Other / Archival / Re: 🐱 [banned mixer] - The Cutest Bitcoin Mixer! on: September 27, 2023, 03:52:47 AM
It doesn't prevent phishing attacks, though. Popular bitcoin mixers have had scammers go after cloning their onion links as well. Just check this thread and you will see a number of reported copycat onion links
1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5381839
It's funny, but I don't see a single phishing site similar to Mixy. I guess this is not very good news (in the sense that it just means that Mixy does not seem to be very popular among mixers, so it is probably not profitable for scammers to engage in phishing).  Although maybe I'm wrong. Smiley

A clearnet domain with only 4 letters is quite expensive. On Namecheap, mixy.net is available for $10k and mixy.io is $6k. There are cheaper options but I doubt anybody would fall for a fake mixer with a .beauty or .monster domain name.
720  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do if your country did not legalize cryptocurrency? on: September 27, 2023, 02:24:54 AM
Bitcoin might be illegal or restricted in several countries but there are still many ways to get around these prohibitions. There are peer-to-peer gray markets where you can trade Bitcoin in-person or online. You can also use bitcoin to purchase gift cards or prepaid debit cards. There have not been many cases of users getting arrested for using or trading bitcoin. These laws are meant to discourage people from using Bitcoin but since they cannot control it it's difficult to actually have any meaningful enforcement.
