That fight was really a disappointment, or at least that's what I felt because I did expected a better performance by Ryan Garcia and that he will be wiser on that fight because he already knew how wise Davis is inside the ring and how vast his IQ when it comes to what's needed to be done. But that specific bar that I set for Ryan may have been too high for him even if that is somehow achievable for a fight like that.
Well, hopefully he will indeed learn from his mistakes and enough about that because I'm already thrilled to see Loma fighting for the Devin Haney's throne. Just a few more days folks.
For me I see Ryan Garcia is still learning a lot and even though they have closer ages, Gervonta Davis is 28 years old while Ryan Garcia is just 24, you can see the age gap between the two, both fighters can still learn, and progress on their speed, strength, technique, skill, and fight IQ so make no mistake Ryan Garcia will be better with this fight experience and you will never know he will be accustomed to the style of Gervonta Davis and he will be ready beating him,
And since it was reported that Ryan Garcia chooses to separate with Goosen as his trainer, (he is also a no show if I'm remember correctly) then maybe when Ryan's contract with GBP is up, he might have to look for another boxing promotions I reckon.
I do agree that it was very unprofessional for them to be absent in the post fight press conference. Regardless, they know that they have to cover Ryan's back whether he win or lose that fight. Of course, not just Oscar but those who back up Ryan in this big fight is frustrated because we thought that he still has something inside of him to at least give us a good fight. But Davis is just to good, power and has a good defense to protect himself against Ryan's left hook.
Well, I really don't know what is the real reason behind Joe Goosen and Ryan Garcia parting ways, but as for Garcia he said that they have no Bitter qualms and that they part ways on good terms, but many are speculating that it is because of Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins not attending Garcia's fight because of their own reason which is they have talked about that Oscar De La Hoya is receiving death threats so he doesn't push on with the fight, While Joe Goosen is still expecting an extension for the partnership but it was to no avail that Garcia really like to have a new training well if a boxer doesn't like the situation anymore I think it is all because of the lost or the wrong decision as a trainer, I reckon Joe Goosen was not a very good trainer and not a very good advicer for the young fighter that he was supposed to mentor. I am quite certain that it is Ryan Garcia and his management team that decide if they accept a fight or not, however, the trainer should also be part of decision making or he leaves the team. Ryan should have been advised not to accept the 10 pound rehydration clause fight day weight check. This very much weakened Ryan and we did not see the real boxer go in the ring. Everyone in the camp made a mistake by accepting that fight and that is a fact, even Ryan Garcia himself have his own share of mistake because he's the one who is fighting and not the people around him. He should be wiser to know which is better for him and not take the bait just because the hype is already strong enough, and Oscar Dela Hoya, he surely know more than anyone around their camp that it's not good for Ryan to accept that rehydration clause, but they accepted it anyway. Now everyone inside the camp is blaming everybody and it is hot mess, and personally, I don't really think that Goosen was fired, he was the one who left and not the other way around. In any case, Ryan should go to Fredde Roach or go back to Eddie Reynoso or ask advice from Reynoso on who might be the best person to train him. That's a tough one to do after everything what happened, and if Ryan Garcia will do that, he will be laughing stock for running back at them. It was only a mistake because Ryan Garcia accepted the rehydration clause. I am not saying it was wrong based on the outcome of the fight. Ryan agreed to give Tank one of his advantages which was the weight advantage. If he was allowed to be of any weight he can be for the fight, his punches would have been more threatening and it might force Tank to be more defensive which would work for the favor of Ryan. Ryan will be a laughing stock? I disagree. There might be some fans who might laugh at him, however. Now looking for a new coach, Garcia is considering a collaboration with his former mentor.
Garcia and Reynoso will meet to discuss a possible reunion shortly after Alvarez fights John Ryder on Saturday in Mexico, a source with direct knowledge of the agreed-upon meeting told BoxingScene.com.Source https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcia-considering-reynoso-reunion-canelo-says-eddy-needs-evaluate-lot-things--174361 |

I reckon you do not understand how this works. The smart contracts are immutable and cannot be censored, only the frontend is censored. Anyone can still connect and mix their coins with the smart contract directly. I didn’t said that smart contract is fake. What I’m telling in my post was the original tornado.cash brand is long gone since the dev is already on the jail. The project is being taken care of by someone and this was being watched by government. I don’t know if using the current service is worth the risk knowing how this project was already under the watch of the government. Using the frontend will certainly be a risk, however, I am not very sure if using Tornado Cash by connecting directly to the smart contracts is safe or not after the sanctions by the American government. There were some news articles that reported some hackers continue to use it. It might be safe but will you take the risk? Clearly we would not hehehe. |

> doesn't understand how system works > tried to apply own rules to system they don't understand > "See? It doesn't work!!!" Meanwhile actual users of said system are perfectly content with it.  Its funny you haven't realized crying "OooDinALs aTTaCk!!!1" for the 65th time will have zilch effect on the issue. If we are being honest, I reckon not much people in this forum have used it or know how this really works to have the right to teach anyone what to think about it or judge it. In any case, for the people who do not know anything about Ordinals, there are resources on the internet that might be helpful to learn more about this first and argue about it later hehehe. https://docs.ordinals.com/https://domo-2.gitbook.io/brc-20-experiment/https://brc-20.io/ |

@Abiky. What much of these cryptolovers who are arguing for regulations ignore is that regulations might threaten one of the basic innovations that the cryptospace has given us and this is the self custody of our digital wealth.
If regulations are imposed, this implies that all coins and tokens are securities and must be registered with the SEC. This will cause a few problems because under those regulations there should be a custodian, a transfer agent, it will need certain reports, disclosures and all these other documents required by the SEC.
These requirements will also make us pay more fees to the custodians and the transfer agents.
There is also the accredited investor rules which might exclude people who are under a certain salary bracket from investing freely in the cryptospace. This will not encourage the innovation in forming community shared projects similar to what we are witnessing today. It will be very much similar to nothing we presently have in the cryptospace.
CZ, we support your use of decentralization to evade everything that you need to evade hehehehehheee.

I was bored and remembered Neodice hehehe. The faucet gave me 100 satoshis and I played 49.50x that the next number should be over 97.99. The draw gave me 99.88 hhehehe! Thank you, I presently now have something to do.  In any case, the music is still very relaxing, however, I have the same request from 1 year ago. I reckon the gamified faucets need sound effects hehe. |

Does anyone speculate that Coinbase will continue on fighting with their case against the SEC? This news article makes it appear that they might be planning an exit from America permanently until there is clear regulatory guidance and infrastructure. They are slowly closing down different service offerings from their business. The reason according to Coinbase's spokesperson is low demand. I do not believe this. Coinbase Borrow’s days are numbered.
Customers of the U.S.-based exchange who used the program – which allowed customers to borrow fiat loans up to $1 million against as much as 30% of their bitcoin holdings, with interest – received an email on Wednesday informing them that the last day to take out new loans would be May 10.
However, the closure of Coinbase Borrow seems – at least for now – to be unconnected to any enforcement action. A person familiar with the matter told CoinDesk the closure of Coinbase Borrow had nothing to do with either pending or past troubles with the SEC.Source https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/05/04/coinbase-to-stop-issuing-new-loans-via-coinbase-borrow/The real warning sign for their exit is when Coinbase begins layoffs of employees again in America. They have fired 950 employees on January already. This might be 20% of their workforce. |

News update. The Biden administration released a report trying to argue on their 30% cryptomining tax. https://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-materials/2023/05/02/cost-of-cryptomining-dame-tax/This is very much similar to what the American government has been doing to other types of industries where they use subsidies and taxation to manipulate their growth or their decline. I speculate that miners will begin their exit from America on 2024 and 2025 and go to South America and Asia where they will be welcomed. El Salvador will certainly be one of those places.  A proposed 30% excise tax on cryptocurrency mining firms was the focus of a report released by the White House on Tuesday, in which the administration reiterated its stance that pinching miners’ profits is in the best interest of American communities and the environment.
“Firms do not have to pay for the full cost they impose on others,” the report states, adding that the proposed tax “encourages firms to start taking better account of the harms they impose on society.”
Under the official name of the Digital Asset Mining Energy (DAME) tax, it applies equally to digital asset miners that earn income by validating transactions on proof-of-work networks like Bitcoin and proof-of-stake networks like Ethereum, despite having vastly different levels of energy consumption.Source https://decrypt.co/138832/white-house-report-30-percent-crypto-mining-tax |

Another one has bite the dust. There might be these moments in your life when you thought it was a joke and you tell this joke to others thinking it was only joke. However, sometimes it might not be a joke. Uncle Jim was telling everyone that the banking crisis in America ended with the collapse of First Republic Bank. Many inverse Cramer followers were joking that it only the beginning. It appears there are jokes that we should wish not to become true because certainly if this banking crisis is only beginning, it would not be good for everyone in the cryptospace.  PacWest Bancorp led a renewed slide in regional banks after a report that it’s weighing strategic options including a sale heightened concerns that the turmoil engulfing smaller lenders is far from over. The Beverly Hills-based lender plunged as much as 60% in postmarket trading, while Western Alliance Bancorp fell as much as 38%. PacWest has been working with a financial adviser and has also been considering a breakup or a capital raise, according to people familiar with the matter.

Everyone who watched Tank vs. King Ry were waiting for the announcement for Errol Spence vs. Terence Crawford but there was nothing and some of us were joking that it was an extended April Fools joke hehehehe. However, go to your sportsbook and check the odds in boxing for June 17. Spence vs. Crawford is listed! What does this imply?

I think it have nothing to with your address in my opinion. but I think the reason there is economic decision in real world government usually the United States but after I look at https://www.dailyfx.com/economic-calendar#last-seven-days it seem regular movement no inflation rate or rates decision so it is something else We are talking about the pump on bitcoin that occurred on April 26. This was certainly not very closely related to a decision from uncle Jerome. This was a whale that used the pump as exit liquidity hehehe. Also, if it the Federal Reserve's decisions really affected bitcoin, why is bitcoin going up from $15k? This is almost 100% from the lowest price of 2022. |

@bettercrypto. However, we already know what China is planning. They want to be the leader in information technology and blockchain. I speculate that China will be again become the biggest mover in the cryptospace market when they open their country again. This will begin in Shanghai, I reckon. I am not quite certain if this is real, however, this is a commemorative NFT rumored to be created by the Shanghai Data Exchange under the direction of the Chinese government. This is issued in Ethereum. https://launchtower.cryptonatty.io/ |

@Abiky. Also, if CZ and Binance evade much of these regulations and to continue what they have been doing, it would also imply that the laws the regulators use have become limited in managing the cryptospace.
I shake my head because it was Bittrex that wanted to be regulatory compliant and they delisted much of the ICOs in the exchange on 2017. This caused Binance to become the exchange for maybe more than 80% of the market for ICO coins and tokens. However, what did it bring Bittrex for following the rules? Presently other exchanges are learning from CZ hehehe.
Regulations are there to protect investors against malpractices from crypto exchange companies. But too much regulations, will cause a mass exodus by said companies to other countries that are much more flexible. The US is trying to do the right thing by eliminating as much illegal activity as possible on the crypto industry. It's just that it's doing everything the wrong way. Congress needs to devise a proper regulatory framework to bring clarity to the crypto industry in the region. The first step would be to remove SEC chairman Gary Gensler from office. That would provide a sign of relief among crypto exchanges and investors alike. I was surprised to have read about Bittrex leaving the US when it was always striving to comply with regulations. Maybe there's something else behind that made Bittrex take such a decision? Now Coinbase threatened to leave the US, so things will get interesting in the following months. Let's hope there's "light at the end of the tunnel" for the crypto industry to thrive within the US. Just my opinion  is only the reason being used to impose regulations and maybe in the beginning it might have been the real reason, however, the real rulers of any country who back politicians and put them in their positions in government are being used to create regulations to control different types of industries and maintain their dominance. This is why many people think regulators end in doing too much. The government does not work for you, it works for the real rulers. Also, do you know who gives their banks a bailout during a crisis? It is you the tax payer hehehehe. |

@The0xJuan on twitter has made a thread that explains what the BRC20 standard is and what are the potential uses of this in the cryptospace. This is a long thread. I will copy only the important information and leave the parts where he talks about bitcoin maximalists. Go to the source if you want to read all of it. Ordinals brought a brand new sense of non-fungibility to the Bitcoin network. Sats that have numismatic value.
Ordinals inscriptions create digital artifacts that are immutable. BRC-20 standard brings fungibility to Ordinals inscriptions in the form of tokens
Yes, the BRC-20 standard can be used to create new tokens. Yes, something like $PEPE, but no quite if you’re comparing to a smart contract.
The trick is leveraging JSON data in the form of Ordinal inscriptions. JSON is an open standard file format and data interchange format.
This is where it’s interesting and differs from ERC-20
In a EVM chain, you create smart contracts that manage the token. The smart contract runs the show.
In the BRC-20 standard you store a script file in the Bitcoin network. That file attributes tokens to satoshis. This lets you transfer the tokens to other users
So instead of running a smart contract, the BRC-20 leverages on JSON data inscribed in a Ordinal. This script, with its limitations compared with a smart contract, can be used to create, mint, and transfer tokens.
All in the base layer.
This is a testament to the use cases that Ordinals theory is bringing. You can store more than JPEGs in a sat. You can store a script file to create and transfer tokens.Source https://twitter.com/The0xJuan/status/1650970535570931712 |

@YuginKadoya. I reckon if Conor joins bare knuckle fighting, this will certainly help increase their viewer ratings and also increase their viewership on pay per view. This will imply good business and more money hehehe. Presently there is low interest on Conor in MMA after his losses. The UFC might not anymore want him to be a main event in a pay per view and Conor does not accept fights where he is not the main event. I speculate Conor to sign in BKFC and in 1 year, he will hold shares and become part owner of this organization hehehe. Also, One FC might sign Francis Ngannou according to this article. ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong has shared interest in signing Ngannou and revealed on the The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani on April 26 that they will meet in Los Angeles on April 29.Source https://www.mmanews.com/news/one-championship-ceo-chatri-sityodtong-reveals-hes-meeting-with-francis-ngannou-this-weekend |

It seemed to me like it was just traders trying to get ahead of the MtGox situation. Whatever it was, it seems like that volume was swallowed up by buyers as it has nearly recovered all the way back to $30K. That shows there is still a ton of demand for Bitcoin at these levels so I wouldn’t call an end to this rally just yet.
The volume seems to be picking up as well, which is always a good sign. Yes it was the false Arkham alert. Basically saying that the USG and MtGox coins are being dumped on the markets.
Arkham denies it saying the alert was sent when the market was already 6% down. I'm sure this could be verified if we know the exact time it was sent. They also say that there was no error in that alert and that it was accurate. https://cryptoslate.com/intelligence-platform-arkham-sent-incorrect-bitcoin-alert-coinciding-with-6-crash/https://twitter.com/ArkhamIntel/status/1651366459547713537 Agreed. It appears I also made a mistake. I thought the fake alerts were released 6 minutes after the big dump. It was really after 1 hour after the big dump hehehehe which makes this mistake worse from the perspective of Arkham Intelligence. They should remove Intelligence and call themselves just Arkham.The flash crash now clearly was caused by traders who were pumping on leverage then were used as exit liquidity by sellers hehehe. There was a rumor that one of the big sellers was Jump Capital. |

It appears much of the people who were waiting for their payments in bitcoin had to wait for 2 days before it arrived in their wallets? I was also waiting for a payment and it arrived after 48 hours of waiting. It was not an important transaction, however, there might be other people who need their payments more quickly and might be forced to pay a higher fee. In any case, this news article mentions the cause of the high fees. If there is profit in these activities, I speculate this might begin the transformation of bitcoin into something similar to Ethereum.  Ordinals notched a new record on Saturday as the protocol used for inscribing digital assets on Bitcoin—producing assets comparable to Ethereum-based NFTs—had its busiest day yet.
In April alone, the daily record for inscriptions made was shattered four other times. That included roughly 72,000 inscriptions on April 2 and 193,000 inscriptions on April 23, according to the Dune dashboard.Source https://decrypt.co/138438/bitcoin-transactions-soar-as-ordinals-barrell-past-2-5-million-notch-daily-record |

Does that mean China is utilizing this negative situation in the US on crypto to its favour or they are just testing the possibilities in order to regulate it. Do remember this is how China became the 2nd larget economy in just 20 years.
They might be, however, China's President Xi has already mentioned some years ago that he wants China to become a leader on different internet technologies including blockchain. Hong Kong might only be the beginning and to test different regulations and observe what they can use in IT economic zones of Shanghai. This news was published on 2019. Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China and General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, said the country needs to “seize the opportunity” afforded by blockchain technology.
Speaking as part of the 18th collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee on Thursday in Beijing, Xi said blockchain technology has a wide array of applications within China, listing topics ranging from financing businesses to mass transit and poverty alleviation.Source https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2019/10/25/president-xi-says-china-should-seize-opportunity-to-adopt-blockchain/ |

Fans of countertrading Jim Cramer should presently be in fear.
