1821  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shit coins era is going to end on: October 16, 2022, 08:48:56 PM
Well to be honest to be honest, I don’t believe that the Shitcoin era is going to go away since people are always trying to find the next get-rich-quick coin. Now even more than ever newer "shit coins" are being created every day.

People who don’t know much about the crypto space will probably buy those types of coins thinking they will be able to make a short-term and fast profit.
Yes, it's psychology. And it mainly benefits the big players in the market, such as exchanges or funds, who manipulate shitcoins as they see fit. You could say they are making money out of thin air on naive people. As long as such a scheme works, then shitcoins will not disappear. Time after time, the altcoin story repeats the same scenario.

Yes, there are still people who are going to fall for this trick, think that shitcoins is the go to make money and become millionaires quick in this market, but it is a wrong mindset and for sure it's going to bite them in their ass.

And so this is cycle is going to continue, developers created a meme coin, and then market it to be the next big thing. And then noob investors believed the hype throw their money. And as we have seen, or what history tells us, this shitcoin dies and then another one pops up immediately.

Andy Murray lost today in Gijon against Korda 2-1 , Murray was the underdog so it was not shocking that he lost, the American is one of my personal favorite young players, i saw him play a couple of matches before, he is pretty good, he didn't quite blow up but he's still young, i'm pretty sure he can win a big title in the future.
After short break this is the highest reach of Andy Murray reaching Quarter Final. In his previous tournaments he used to end with group stages or by the third round. As age pass, his performance keeps moving downwards. More young players are ready to dominate the tennis world. One amongst them is Korda.
Yeah, I think this is the highest that Andy Murray has reach in a tournament thus far, so it's not that bad however still very tough tournament for him as he lost to a young Korda.
So Korda will be facing Rublev now. I will go with Rublev in this one. I thight Rublev has some confidence but probably this will be extended into 3 sets, I reckon.
Andy Murray is finished and that happened a long time ago. Now he just plays tournaments and if he gets to the quarter finals its a big achievement for him. He goes on the tournament just because those tournaments invite him because he is a large name,but he aint a threat to anyone.
Yes, although he made a comeback and get his fans excited, I doubt think that he can bring back the clock. He might be satisfied on entering tournament and see how far he can go or even winning (and losing) against young guys.
I guess though the competitive spirit is still inside of him. Nevertheless, might be in a couple of years he might go and retire.

Andy Murray OBE is quite old at this point. It is doubtful that there is a lot of expectation from him after this win, regardless of the fact that he has reached the highest position in this tournament so far in his career.

I would have to say that it was an exceptionally remarkable performance from him at this age (35 years old). It is one of the things that I like about him that he is competitive. It's unclear whether he possesses the physical attributes needed to maintain his competitive nature. In any case, it won't be for very long.

Furthermore, I also think that there is a good chance that he will play one or two more years. However, I am not expecting him to do anything spectacular during that time.

Andy Murray is a tennis legend, one of the greatest tennis players in history, but unfortunately two factors in his career prevented him from becoming an even bigger and better tennis player.
The first fact is that he played in the era of the three greatest tennis players in history, and the second fact is his numerous injuries that ruined his tennis career.
If it weren't for that, his tennis career would have been even bigger.
It's obvious how much he loves playing tennis and that it is difficult for him to end his tennis career, but it is obvious that it will happen soon.

But still though, he hold his piece against the era of big 3 and we can even insert his name there that's why there is big 4. But the injury though,  he had numerous injuries, but the last one really ruined it for him and we can call it career ending injuries.

And he tried to make a comeback in his career, play good matches but we know that he won't win any trophy at this point and just a matter of time before he quit.

Helenius has a bad game plan against Wilder. He pushes him and try to be the aggressor. But he forget to put his hand to protect his chin.

Yeah, I think Helenius thought that Wilder doesn't have the mentality to stay in the fight. So he take it to him, and then got caught. And probably the weight difference, maybe copying Fury's blue print of imposing his full weight on him to get Wilder tired but it all back fired.

We all know that the Bronze Bomber still had that power despite him losing the twice to Fury. And with that win, his confidence is back. Usyk could be in the radar for him next. Gonna be a good fight as well but I guess Usyk technical skills will be too much for Wilder, just saying.

If I'm not mistaken, it was Usyk who says that he wants Wilder next. So let's see how it will go next year. Wilder win by knockout might scare Usyk.
1824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: October 16, 2022, 11:55:56 AM
I already posted before the fight that it will be the same result but this time its a much better win for Haney he is the one who learned and improved on this rematch, the jabs, the moves, and the ring generalship is just awesome to watch, I know that Haney is a good boxer already but after I saw this fight there's still an improvement on how he box, he is the money an all the titles are on his waist, now he will be one of the most sought boxers, he is the undisputed champion and he did great winning all those belts.

Yes, as what we have been saying, it will be a repeat performance by Haney. But this time, he didn't play it safe as most of his critics are saying about him. Instead he dished out more jabs, and right hands on Kambosos face that at the end of the fight, George is really bleeding and bludgeon by Haney. So there is no doubt that that man in this division is Haney and not the overhype Ryan Garcia or Tank Davis. Time for Loma to do this part, so that next year it will be one of the biggest fight in the 135 lbs when Haney vs Loma face each other.

Haney showed some aggressiveness, however, it seemed like he has no power to KO Kambosos. If he will go up against Loma, I think that would be a very exciting fight, and personally, I think I like Loma's chance of beating him, either by judges scorecards or through KO/TKO.

That's one weakness of Haney, he is feather fisted fighter but he make it up with his superior jabs and ring IQ. And I will commend Kambosos, in the first 2 rounds he was really very aggressive and hitting Haney. But it seems the gets tired and then Haney taking over the full fight.

And it will be quite interesting fight next for Haney, because it will be against the best tactical boxer in the division. Currently, I can't see which is going to win though. So congrats to Haney and then we will for Loma's comeback back and hopefully there will be no problems with Ortiz.
1825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: October 15, 2022, 03:45:50 PM

Pacquiao wants Spence vs. Crawford winner

Manny Pacquiao was asked if he’d be interested in fighting the Errol Spence Jr vs. Terence Crawford winner and his response was "why not if that's possible?".

To make that happen though, he needs to come out from retirement. Smiley

I like Pacman, I respect what he has done in the sport of boxing, however, I did not know that he is presently a comedian. If he won versus Ugas to hold the WBA welterweight championship, I will think maybe there is an argument for Pacman. However, Ugas was gave a very convincing performance and has shown Pacman's old age.

I honestly have not read the article yet. This might be another sarcastic statement from Pacman and the sports news media are turning it into clickbait hehe.

I also didn't click on the link, but I do agree that Pacquaio should retire for good. We have seen him against Ugas and it doesn't look good for him and it's better that after that fight, he doesn't to hang up his gloves.

And if he wanted to make a comeback against the winner of the highly caliber fighter in Spence or Crawford? We might see him getting knockout here. And what is the sense of coming back? Money? fame? legacy? Manny have everything already.
1826  Economy / Gambling / Re: How is the performance of gambling tokens compare to other altcoins and btc on: October 15, 2022, 03:28:01 PM
Most casino tokens are just chest coins in the marke6, and their price is not meeting up to market standard and their trading volume dropping rapidly, but we still have a few who is increasingly growing in the market with multiple exchanges.

It’s normal because casino token is being used for reward by the casino to the players so expect that there’s no much trading volume on it sometimes because no one is buying it regularly since it can be earned by just simply betting in the casino. Typically this kind of tokens will have a demand when they new exchange listing or the casino offers a mining pool for token holder that give a good profit return in the long run.

Or it will be just a niche for gamblers, so it's going to be very difficult to attract lets say average joe investors because it might not be for them, just saying.

Of course, it will have some advantage for us gamblers, but then again, I will say that majority will still prefer the old way of playing with Bitcoin and rest of the altcoins that are cheap but fast in transaction and not used the native token of that gambling platform.
1827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double Unification Fights: Shields vs Marshall / Mayer vs Baumgardner on: October 15, 2022, 03:09:54 PM
Been waiting to see Mayer and Baumgardner, two good female boxers, but we have had to wait a while longer, not anymore Cheesy. I hope the fight today will be worth the wait. I think Mayer will be the winner, she must realize that she needs this fight to achieve the goal of becoming the first undisputed champion from her division, and will go all out to try to ensure that Baumgardner who is a very good boxer as well can deny her from her goal and can cause a problem knowing that she is up to the task with the confidence coming from knocking out Terri Harper Last year.

I think the hype for Baumgardner vs Mayer is real now. Yeah, they are both real good female boxers, but at the end of the day, there is only one who is going to win.

And it seems that Baumgardner is very confident, although sometimes in his interview, it looks like she is still looking to achieved something even greater or maybe she feels underachieved because of being the underdog in a fight.
1828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What efforts have you made to raise bitcoin awareness in your community? on: October 14, 2022, 07:22:03 PM
No efforts have been made on my part because I believed that Bitcoin will have it's own way to spread awareness. Not necessarily for us enthusiast to have that kind of job to tell everyone about what Bitcoin is.

I appreciate though those individuals from this community who are doing their part and that is really good to know. But not everyone is interested on Bitcoin to be honest, so let them miss the boat or be late when the price goes up in the next 3-4 halvings, or when almost all Bitcoin have been mined.
1829  Economy / Speculation / Re: Purchased at $23,500, when should I start to panic? When should I average down? on: October 13, 2022, 12:06:44 PM
I think I made a mistake buying at $23,500 (obviously), so when should I really start to panic now that we dropped to $18K?
Market conditions have improved several times since the price dropped $18K. The increase is not very high, only a price change of $2k, or with a price increase of $20k, then you can already make a profit. But if you just leave Bitcoin in your wallet, of course to get back $23k, it will have to wait a long time. Because the current market conditions are bearish.

The price has dropped to $18,000 levels already, then bounce back above $20,000 and now we are in $19,000. So it's not that huge decreased if the OP bought at $23,000, just a few thousands dollars and if the price goes sideways then just hold on and don't sell.

Again, it might be take several years to recover, but once the market enter the bull run, you won't regret your decision to hold or even buy at the current price.
1830  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Back To Promoting Doge as a Payment Method for New Cologne on: October 13, 2022, 11:26:41 AM
He is not a crypto influencer for nothing. We have seen him jumping on board with BTC in 2020-2021 and it really push the price to new height and it really skyrocketed.

But it seems that he is only for Doge, and if I remember it correctly, he used to accept bitcoin as payment for his project Tesla model cars but have a change of heart and then shift to Doge. So not surprised that he is promoting Doge again for his new cologne.

And for those who have been wanting a Davis vs Garcia fight, it seems the two have been teasing around their fans with cryptic message in their social media account.

But according to Garcia's manager, Oscar Dela Hoya

Quote
"It's being worked on. That's it. It's a big fight. It's a huge fight. Fights like this take forever," De La Hoya told BoxingScene.com and other reporters. "Do I feel it's going to get made? Yes - and I'm excited. But this is a huge fight with a lot of details."

https://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoya-on-ryan-garcia-vs-gervonta-davis-fights-like-this-take-forever--169652

So let's see how farther this negotiations and back and forth talks and hopefully we can see this fight one day.

I wouldn't discount the fact that this fight can be made, regardless what will be the weight will be, 140 or 145 lbs. But so far it is all Oscar who is going to the public and tell what his feeling is, as compare to Floyd which chooses to be quiet. So we don't really know what the real score from behind.

And I'm hinting that this could be another like Crawford vs Spence, to much noise. But when it comes to fighting, it's not even close of making the fight.
1832  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 13, 2022, 10:39:00 AM

Yes, we have discussed as to who is going to take the leading position. But those guys doesn't have the same mentality of the big 3 or 4 way back. I mean if Medvedev becomes the number 1 he should at least won many tournaments by now. But it didn't happen and then Alcaraz took over, and so all eyes are on him, if he can maintain his position and lead the new pack or will he melt out under pressure from fans and background noises from behind. We have seen him lost to a relatively unknown player and that could not be a good sign, in my opinion. Consistency is the key here.



In my eyes there is way too much focus on the smaller tournaments. In the end, there is only one thing that's matters in tennis and that are the grand slams. So who cares that Alcaraz lost against an unknown player in a (smaller) tournament; even Federer/Nadal/Djokovic have lost matches against unknown players.

Hmmm that's a big statement. Yea the Grand Slams are what they are, there are only
4 annually, they pay the biggest prize money and are very prestigious but the lesser
tournaments have their part to play too. Some are more important to different players
for various reasons, that's why they keep showing up trying to win them.

Yes, of course Grand Slam are the biggest tournament and the center stage in tennis. But we also have seen 250 masters and up tournament that really mold great players to become successful in Grand Slam.

Of course everyone losses, but what I'm trying to say is that top players needs to be consistent and take every tournament seriously even if it small or mid or the big 4 Grand Slams.
1833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: October 13, 2022, 10:20:50 AM
By now it's obvious that the fight is off for this year. But it doesn't mean that they are not discussing it behind close doors. As the majority has said, maybe there is some point that they have agreed or disagreed. And even if they moved to 154 lbs, they are still bound to collide. So it's better that they do it next year at least and give us boxing fans to see who is the best although by odds Crawford might be the slight favorite.
1834  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How USDT (stablecoins) work? on: October 12, 2022, 08:16:56 AM
I am trying to understand how USDT (or any other stablecoins) work. Is it true that USDT is just a contract on Ethereum? If it is true, then do we know its address? And another question is, how Teather emit new USDT whereas the contract can't be changed?
Usdt is a known stablecoin and minted as erc20 and live on ethereum network. But I believe there are usdt already on other chain too.

Here: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/tether

Youll find all the contract address supported on different blockchain for tether.

There is no need to change contract address when tether is being minted. It will be fixed and not change. If you found a newly minted usdt with different contract address then thats a scam.

Even on Bitcoin network? It doesn't have smart contracts as far as I know

No, Bitcoin network is different, they are separate entity from Tether.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but there are traders who convert from one crypto to another. So you can exchange your Bitcoin->USDT.

And I think you got the answers already, they have provided a lot of good link, its time for you to read them up and understand.

As for the Audit, this the a good link: https://blockworks.co/tether-pushes-back-timeline-on-audit-report/
1835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google partners with Coinbase to accept crypto payments for cloud service on: October 12, 2022, 07:57:46 AM
Good news!

But to play the devil's advocate, they "accept" Bitcoin "payments" through a centralized third party? Technically they're not truly accepting payments through Bitcoin. They're merely accepting payments through Coinbase, like they accept payments through PayPal.

Yes, but still though, it's a good and welcoming news to hear the big G, finally accepting BTC as "payment" scheme. Although the market didn't react positively about this news, as we are in the bear market.

So let's see how it goes, I mean we have platforms that accepts Bitcoin in the past, but suddenly decided to stop it for unknown reasons. So hopefully this partnership will last till the next bull run and so it's a win-win situation for both Google and their consumers.
1836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: October 12, 2022, 04:17:51 AM
...
I am not so sure about Sinner. I agree that he is a player who could be up there. But I think ok a lot of emphasis should be given to that “could be”.  I also agree that his development is slow.  He needs to improve quickly so that he will be able to get up there quickly as well.

He suffered several injuries during the last year.
I don't think his development is slow, he has just...21 years and he has reached the top 10 at 20 years and was able to perform well also against top 5 players.
For sure he can do better, but it's just matter of time he will get stronger results.

Yes, injuries has hampered not just Sinner's development but the likes of other young players that we have so far. Him and Alcaraz could be the face of the new tennis if he just maintained his form and not getting injured.

Tsitsipas is good but not consistent and he only plays good at the start of the year because maybe there are a lot of clay court tournaments early. But it's obvious that Alcaraz has taken over.
With every sports injuries happens. With tennis quite often we can see players taking long rest. With the young players, they have got more years to show their ability to the world. Even at the very young age they've got into the leading position. I find Medvedev, Felix Augur, Tsitsipas, Alcaraz to be taking the lead on the table for a long.

Yes, we have discussed as to who is going to take the leading position. But those guys doesn't have the same mentality of the big 3 or 4 way back. I mean if Medvedev becomes the number 1 he should at least won many tournaments by now. But it didn't happen and then Alcaraz took over, and so all eyes are on him, if he can maintain his position and lead the new pack or will he melt out under pressure from fans and background noises from behind.

But we don't know the real score if it's Spence camps who's trying to avoid the fight or both of them
are not willing to risk both belts and records.

No one is avoiding the fight, that's for sure. It's just that there are problems and issues with the transparency of the supposed guaranteed payout as far as most news is concerned. Spence is a business guy and if the price is right, he will go against big fish without hesitation.

There's no also issue about risking their records and belts. That's a horrible excuse. But with these issues raised lately, fans are disappointed with what happened.

Sooner or later that 0 has to go, so either one of will lost that obviously when they face each other. Yeah, I think that is not the keyword, "avoiding". Maybe they are not in the same page as to the money split or what not. Both are willing to face each other and it's unavoidable when both of them become champion at 147, specially when Crawford move to 147 pounds.

The issue right now is that there is a demand for the fight from fans and yet they are not listening to it. Or at least their promoters or networks, there is money to be made so they have to sit down and talk.
1838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: October 12, 2022, 03:28:15 AM
It was stated on one of the articles released that Bivol is more inclined toward a title fight than having a rematch against Canelo.  If the match between Bivol and Ramirez goes the way we expected then there is more chance of Beterbiev-Bivol if both parties agreed.

That really Bivol's goal instead of going in a rematch with Canelo.

It's clear and he mentioned it before that he is chasing more titles rather than putting up a fight in a non-title just for money.

A good plan to chase more titles as the more he is recognized, the more money will flow on him.

Ok that is good if he really wanted to have more belts or unify the LHW division. Nevertheless, if his advisors are going to tell him the right way, it will be better to go for Canelo. Money will flow and will be on the table, and he will solidify his legacy if he ever beat Canelo again. And chances are he can do it again because he dominated him in the first fight.

But he had his hands full in Ramirez, another rugged Mexican that might suit Bivol's style and so it will be a war between this two. But as motivated to win because of the possible fight for Canelo or Beterviev.

Yeah, at least she has done some research first on Bitcoin before she accepted it as payment and then save the private keys somewhere and the good thing is that she was not hack or something if she has written it in the PC that she has been using for the last 10 years. Or probably buy a new hardware but then back up everything. In a sense she is technical savvy I would say and that save her the problems of other people who have a lot of bitcoin before but they don't know how to save it.

I always have doubts about a rematch when the first match is dominated by one fighter rematch should be when the decision could go either way, the first match Martinez totally dominated Ancajas the margin on the scorecard is too big, this second match is just a continuation of he first match, Ancajas is good on the first three rounds but after that Martinez takes over and still the same scenario, Ancajas show nothing knew and he comes out with the same alibi that has a hard time in his weight.

There is a rematch clause that their team activated, maybe because they think that they can win in the second part. However, as you have said, Ancajas doesn't have a gameplan, they said that they have weight issues and or overtrain. But they have enough time to developed a good plan for Ancajas. All the blame should be in his team and trainer in my opinion. So there should be no alibi and they have to accept that he got defeated by Martinez the second time with a complete shut out.
