Before the Bitcoin halving it looked like maybe the Bitcoin market would go over $100k after the Bitcoin halving. But after the Bitcoin halving, Bitcoin tends to decrease rather than increase. Bitcoin is currently at 63 thousand dollars and from here Bitcoin can take two types of turning especially if the price increases then it can go to 100k dollars and if the price of Bitcoin decreases it can go down to 50 thousand dollars.
Currently the price of Bitcoin is still at $63K and if a decline can occur at the end of this month or at the beginning of next month, I will not immediately make a prediction for the $50K range. Because currently Bitcoin has stronger resistance to this if we compare it to last year so there is a possibility for Bitcoin to be above $50K if the price decline actually occurs at the end of this month or next month. But what we are seeing now is still at $63K with quite slow movement in the market. Yes, +/- $63,000, still good price though, and I think everyone should understand that even if we had the catalyst for a bull run already completed which is the block halving, it doesn't mean that the price is immediately go and reach 6 digits. It's not how Bitcoin works, it might take sometime for the market to have that kind of run, maybe we need some news to push the price or just the whales suddenly find themselves wanting to initiate a bull run. I also don't think that $50,000 or a potential dump in the market is going to happen. We have a huge support at any line, like in $60,000 or even lower. We just need to have patience, specially to beginners in the market and just don't overthink and be nervous about a huge decrease in price. Everything will fall for us this year, IMHO. |

One week before the fight weigh-in between the two, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XkpU3kmMVzgAnd they are on target to make the weight based on the current weight they have, just over 170++ for both for of them right now. But if they drain themselves and took all the water in their body, easy 168 lbs. So it's just a week from now, we will see if Jaime Munguia can pull the biggest upset for this year or Canelo not ready to past the torch to the young gun just yet. |

True, Bud's counter is underrated, but we have seen it in many of his fights, that he can read his opponents and then adjust during the fight, similar to Floyd. Madrimov hasn't seen a fighter in Bud's caliber so he might be in for a big surprised when he can't land his power punches, specially his jumping left hook.
It's good that Terrence is exploring territory after beating Spence right now Terrence has a level of invincibility, he was so perfect in his fight against Spence if he shows the same form as he did against Errol Israil will be in big trouble. Terrence is already 36 years he should be more aggressive to establish his legacy and a fight with the Charlos will establish his legacy and if a possible fight with Canelo is something to look forward to in the future. Mate, he already cemented his legacy already, he is the first boxer to unify all the belts in 2 division, at 140 and 147 lbs. Inoue followed suit as well at 118-122 lbs. So even if he retires now, his name is already in the history of boxing, he already secured his future. So a win here will make him a 154 lbs and maybe his next target will be Charlo or Fundora or Tim Tszyu. And obviously, this is stay busy fight just to avoid ring inactivity for Crawford. And to boot, he will be fighting for the belt, so very favorable for him. |

What I am ultimately getting at here in the theme of my post is that there is no other coin besides Bitcoin, which you can trust can be held over the long term. What are your thoughts?
Yeah, and that's why you will find that most users here are Bitcoin maximalist. Maybe you can dwell on some altcoins in the beginning and see that hmm, they give us good profits. But it's not going to be sustainable at least for the long term as majority of them are pump-and-dump. Or least look at the latest hype, Runes, yeah it did affected the market and the mempool was congested. But after the hype died down, everything is almost normal again and Bitcoin standing at the top of the food chain. |

I agree with what most posters said, it's not a priority for us, although good addition, but not a must for casinos. And I think 90% of crypto based casinos have at one time have signature campaigns here or have created a Ann thread.
But forum has advantage and disadvantage though, separate from this community. Gamblers can talk freely although they could also be moderated by the casino. And if we are going to rank which features we wanted to see in a casinos, sad to say but this could be in last in our list.

The world has gotten to that point in which every product should have a particular price is been sold for.
A product that is been sold for $5 in USA should also be sold for $5 in Canada and China, this way it will help the world leaders to remove hunger in the world, it will also help grow the economy of every country because countries can buy product from one another at a better price, this method will really help in reducing suffering in the world because hunger is one of man's major problem.
The world leaders should sit and implement this policy every product will be given a price that will be comfortable to every common man in different countries of the world.
Good argument but there are a lot of flaws in your argument. Do you know that there price tags could have been different because not everyone can produce a particular product like rice? And as much as you and I and the rest here wanted to reduce hunger, this kind of setup will not help. And I think every government is doing everything at their disposals to curb whatever issues they have in their own country. But we all know that there is no balance in power in this world and there are problems that inherent, hard to solved specially if it involves humanity, i.e world peace (now we have wars in the Middle East), hunger. |

^^ Yeah just saw it too, and it's good to see this kind of info before playing any on those slot games.
And it includes Gates of Olympic, love that game and it's really thrilling to play because of the potential to win big. Of course any Hacksaw gaming slots as well exhilarating. But I'm into Pragmatic Play and Evolution Gaming as my favorite casino software or provider to play right now.

For the bull cycle, maybe we can get to close to $200k, as there are predictions like $150k-$180k. But there are a lot of factors to consider here, like the war in the background and some other negative news that might impact the market to reach that high. I am fixated on speculation that Bitcoin won't break $200k this bull run until spot ETF is approved. I now think that Bitcoin have a better chance of breaking $200k this 2025 bull run since with these institutions taking part of the Bitcoin craze, it is highly likely that more investors will be attracted to invest more money on the Bitcoin market. We have seen how irregular the movement of Bitcoin price this pre-halving event, ATH of 2021 had been broken even before the halving event happens, so taking into consideration the recent market movement and looking forward to the bull run of 2025, I somehow think that $200k BTC is possible, but not this 2024 like what @OP is predicting. Anyhow, almost week after the halving, fees are back to normal or at least not that high as compare during the halving itself, pretty much the market has settled down. Probably people realized that they are minting useless NFT and think that they will suffer a huge loss if they continue with the NFT minting and paying with high fees. I wouldn't used the term fixated though, maybe we are all excited what this bull run will bring? Bitcoin Spot ETF has been approved already and we did feel the impact of it right away as we have new all time high before the halving. But it's going to be long term perspective as what could have been the effect to us. And that's why like you, we speculate that now $200,000 could be within reach because of this good news to us. Not just in the US, but there are countries who follow, ( https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/15/hong-kong-regulators-approve-spot-bitcoin-and-ether-etfs-.html) So everything is falling for us and we have this year and the next to achieved that. |

Maybe, Tapales tried that strategy as well early on Inoue, but from time to time Inoue will caught him going inside.
The strategy of Tapales was very simple, it might have been effective if he has power because somehow he was able to hit Inoue with his counter punches, but due to the lack of power, Inoue earn high confidence and he continues to attack Tapales. With great strategy and power, I think Nery will be able to give that to Inoue and make give him trouble, but as you said, there's no blueprint yet as to how to defeat Inoue, so I'd say it's easier said than done. Nery though has power, and if he hit Inoue early, we will see if it has effect on the Japanese or not. I can't remember what rounds Donaire was able to break Inoue's orbital bone, but it could be a series of blows. However, it just shows how mentally tough Inoue is, not just his physical attributes, but he has what other great champions has, his mind to continue to fight even he feels that he is injured or not. We've seen fighters quitting in their stool because of injuries, but not Inoue. So we can say that he is a complete fighter that's why it is hard to beat him at this point and hard to see what kind of scheme Nery will have to develop in order to win. |

It's not about likeable or what, he was chosen because Canelo and his camp knows that they can beat this kid. Literally, he is, very young, not much of a experience under his belt. And we can compare this fight when Canelo was relatively unknown and Mayweather gives him the chance. It was Oscar who really did that to Canelo, giving him the break to fight in the US for the first time.
Let's see how will it end up because if Canelo actually wins this one, they cannot escape their fate anymore to fight Benavidez or else they will suffer great humiliation just because he avoided him in his entire career which is not really good when he step-out of boxing. We already see the fight between Crawford and Spence, now is the time for them to show who is the best boxer between them as well. Canelo should willing to take the risk to fight Benavidez after this one unless he will struggle to beat this kid. I was really hoping it would be David Benavidez who will be up next for Canelo but I guess they are really avoiding him. Cinco de Mayo, Jaime Munguia versus the Super Middleweight Champion. I just wish there was not too much respect that will happen, that would lead to giving the champion his belt because they are fellow Mexicans. Munguia can box and his fists are heavy after he TKO'ed John Ryder in January. I think he can give Canelo a hard time if he takes this seriously and not just for entertainment. I am just assuming here but I saw how much respect he gave to the champion. It's a great chance to fight him but taking his belt should be the priority. If Canelo wins here, he should face Benavidez next. If not, then it will be better to hang the gloves. After that day, it will be Inoue vs Nery next. Rawr! I think Munguia will go and try to win here, it's will not be for entertainment purposes for sure. He has been dreaming of fighting Canelo for years and this is his one chance to win and get the belt and become the next star, him and Ryan Garcia. That's why you can see thru the eyes of his promoter that Oscar is very glad to set up the fight. David Benavidez is going up at 175 lbs already so Canelo it out of the picture for now. But David has a chance to become a unified champion himself. So they have separated their ways for now and only time can tell if Canelo is still interested on Benavidez or will go after Berlanga next as this is what boxing reporters are telling us. Inoue and Nery, another great fight, but I think Inoue wins here. |

Each person should be tailoring his investment to his situation, and surely there should be less ability to aggressively invest into bitcoin if you are brand new to investing and brand new to bitcoin, and so if you don't have your shit together, including having some consideration of the 9 individual factors. That's what we do talk about on the Forum on how newbies rush into Bitcoin just because they have a little knowledge of it and they forget that they still need to learn more about Bitcoin, no plan no strategy and they engage in it because they see others benefiting from it, they feel is easy and they too can gain more than they invest, things don't work out that way in the crypto space, seeking for mentorship and advise helps a lot. I don't really believe there is much to know before getting started to buy bitcoin, all a newbie has to know is how to buy at first and them the next to hold, if there is any knowledge I consider compulsory is knowing how to manage his finances and know what he need to allocate to bitcoin without choking out himself and eventually selling off so early when he can't keep up any longer, and another thing is to have an emergency funds in place. You still need to understand how it works though, being a investment platform, anyone entering the market should learn how to make money out of the market. It's not just you will buy it and then what? Although it's very easy as it's just the basic buy and hold and sell when we are on top. But others, might not have that idea in the beginning and thinks that Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme. Yeah I can understand that a lot of persons actually get into bitcoin thinking it's a money making machine and tend to engage into short term investment and all that, and some even tend to get frustrated when holding in the bear market and might also sell of their bitcoin due to fear or panic, but what is most important for anyone to learn how to buy bitcoin and hold it.
That's what I'm saying, their could be newbies who think it's a magic internet money, that you will make a lot effortlessly. And probably this is also the reason why some newbies quit early because it fails their expectations. |

I have seen Mike Tyson and his training now, I feel like that is actually a good situation to be in at that age. I mean he did have some period in his life when he didn't take care of his body, it looked like he gained so much weight (maybe even more than 100 pounds) and he looked just straight up fat and unhealthy, even used a cane to walk. That Mike Tyson would of course not be able to fight, the one from Hangover movies, that wasn't a possibility for him to fight.
That is just training though, the conditions is very much different in a actual fight. It's a controlled environment for Tyson to show his skills in the mitt, however, in the actual fight it could be different. Can he last that many rounds? However, looking at him now, he is leaner, and he looks meaner as well, he is punching the hell out of anyone, and he is not like that anymore. I believe that he is nowhere near what he used to be obviously, but he is clearly the better boxer than Jake, without a doubt.
It's because he is doing trainer and will obviously be in the best shape of his life. But boxing is more than that, you need stamina as well and as his age, it might be a problem for him. Jake is young and so he has a lot of gas tank. Mike could be tired after 2-3 rounds. |

Wrong, they are not on the same stable, Canelo has left Golden Boy Promotions years ago, and that's why Oscar is very salty of Canelo for leaving him. And as being promoted, Oscar wanted to get back at Canelo, and he wants his new prodigy, Jaime Munguia to beat Canelo here.
I really like Jaime Munguia this kid has a future and right now those punches of Jaime Munguia are really something that kind of reminded me of how Pacquiao is still starting and while Canelo has cut ties with the Golden Boy Production there is a new favorite for Oscar in picking some apple that has fallen from the same tree for sure all eh love to see the destruction of Canelo for sure. Yes, because Canelo and Munguia shows mutual respect. That's why it was Oscar who are promoting this fight to have that kind of storyboard for him. Munguia. Oscar even said that he will beat Canelo in his prime. And just like I said, he is reigniting their so called feud to make the fans more interested to see this fight.
For sure that hype was part of the manipulation and for a fight to be reignited like this it could be a good thing because there are now many people who want to see that fight who would not want to witness such a spectacle for sure many boxing fans would love to see that fight and for sure there will be more people that will be stocking up with Jaime Munguia side and many will certainly want that to happen. I do agree, this kid is likeable, I mean he is not a trash talking, although if you talk bad about him, for sure he will comeback and bark at you. And this is also the reason why Canelo give him the shot as he says that this kid is respectful, maybe he is pertaining to Benavidez as well, another Mexican that almost trash talk and says something that is not nice against Canelo (but who knows, maybe this is just another excuse from him). Nevertheless, we have taken notice of this kid and we will give him a chance because we have seen the underdog in Ryan Garcia totally dominating the favorite in Devin Haney and win that fight and earn the respect of boxing fans. It's not about likeable or what, he was chosen because Canelo and his camp knows that they can beat this kid. Literally, he is, very young, not much of a experience under his belt. And we can compare this fight when Canelo was relatively unknown and Mayweather gives him the chance. It was Oscar who really did that to Canelo, giving him the break to fight in the US for the first time. Anyhow, it's about 2 weeks away from this fight, give and take. And for sure they have seen the Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney fight. Which means they are thinking that this kind of upsets do really happen and most likely Munguia will want the winning streak of GBP with another huge win here. |

That might only be our range but what if we are addicted?
I think we wouldn't mind paying 50 dollar for the fee and still have a 50 dollar left for play.
For those gambler whose money is only 50 dollar and below, maybe they will choose lightning network for a while because you know that was still part of BTC and I saw that many casinos now started supporting lightning network.
Bitcoin price is still the same dump, so maybe that was true that the rise in its fees are caused by the halving and it can take a while for the fees to get sorted out. I know this is not the first time the BTC fees increase insanely this high and I am expecting these high fee trend may continue until bitcoin prices rises up to the level to compensate the miners for same amount of fees in satoshi.
This is where the use of stable coins come in. The liquidity of stable coin is an added advantage to their network especially when Bitcoin mempool start getting congested. So if a gambler is addicted, he might want to use stable coin or any other coin that has higher liquidity than Bitcoin at this mempool congestion period. If a gambler is addicted he'll take the chances of risking even more fee to get very small Bitcoin deposit, because when they are not patient to make good decisions they will eventually end up getting broke if they have all their asset in Bitcoin. Most of those gambling games that accepts Bitcoin are usually slot games which is a bit difficult to make huge win, and addicted gamblers will experience more losses this period of mempool congestion. Yeah, I think this is where USDT enters, just like when we hedge our Bitcoin when the price is fluctuating, we can do it the same now when the mempool is clogged for whatever reasons. Although if you look at the fees right now, it is down more than 10x already from the highs that we have seen since the block halving. Currently, it's 45 sat/vB and we don't know if it's going to go up later or not. But at least for us gamblers, as much as we love Bitcoin to be our main currency to gamble, it is wise to try and used other altcoins as well. Just be flexible and we will be good and then we can go back to Bitcoin if everything has settled down. |

I once did, 2017 or 2018, I had my Christmas Bonus and the first thing I do is go to land base casinos and then "donated" it all. Went home at night and I can't tell to my wife straight away that I've lost my years hard work in just a couple of hours. Didn't do the walk of shame, but I was just staring and she notice me and so I admit what I have done.
Of course she was furious to me, and didn't talked to me for one day. But after that, it's back to normal and I didn't do that again. Or if I'm going to gamble, she would come. However, since the advent of online casinos, we knew when each other is going to gamble. And so I didn't do that after that big mistake of mine.

Whoever will lose in the fight Beterbiev vs Bivol I guess Canelo will face? Canelo vs Bivol 2 would actually be good so Canelo can regain back that loss. Beterbiev though old, that guy is still massive.
Canelo would want that, he was talking about rematch with Bivol when he loss but it seems he isn't serious with it. Now, for sure he will consider fighing the loser of this fight as that would be favorable for him, and in terms of selling the fight, it's not a problem anymore as Canelo is very popular. He want's it at 168 lbs, which initially Bivol doesn't want to. But later Bivol said that he is willing to go down to 168 lbs, however, he had a fight already and won. And then this unification which is bigger than a Canelo fight in terms of magnitude and of course the support of HE Turki Alalshikh. Now considered the most powerful of brokers in boxing. A Bivol vs Canelo II would be interesting to watch, and I can already see what would happen next, if Canelo will even the outcome like beating Bivol in a rematch, there could be a possible trilogy, which will create more hype in the career of Canelo, just a smart strategy in case he'll bite that.
Canelo has a lot in his table before he retires, his rematch or even a Benavidez fight. But it seems that he is not interested as of now. Because it was reported that after this fight, his next will be against another young fighter in Berlanga. |

What do you guys think about the Canelo Vs Munguia fight, which is not far away, on 4th May. Bookies seem to be thinking it's going to be smooth sailing for Canelo. I'm not that big of a boxing fan and haven't been following Munguia's career that closely, but his record and KO rate (of almost 80%) look quite impressive. Odds are very similar to Canelo Vs Bivol, when the Mexican was a big favorite but got outclassed by the Russian.  Are these fair or misplaced? Worth putting a few $ on Munguia? I don't think that any oddmakers are going over or under when they list their odds in the market. This punters really know what they are doing and so I don't think they have misplaced it. Munguia is the obvious underdog and Canelo being the cash cow and the A-side will be the favorite here just like in the Bivol fight. But it's not always 100% that the favorite is going to win, obviously as we have been played by Ryan Garcia as he is also a 7:1 underdog at some point and then won in a dominating fashion against the favorite Haney. So who knows, it could be worth to put some $$$ on Munguia here and we could have witnessed 2-0 underdog win for GBP. This fight is just a couple of weeks and maybe we could see some swings in the odds, at least some movement to close that huge gap and whales shelling out money on Munguia. |

"Bitcoin mining will become unprofitable."
This one cannot happen. If mining is not profitable, then the network will not be secure, so activity and fees will need to be high enough to cover mining costs. If BTC goes fully mainstream mining will still be very profitable.
And I think mining manufactures will have to adjust, that's how they are doing it for years after the halving, they come with a better PoW machine so secure the network so it will still be as profitable as like two halving years ago. And most likely they are producing machines or design ASIC that can be cheap and cost effective and friendly. Probably the OP is talking about the price, and again, very hard to predict but I guess Bitcoin will still continue to dominate the market, and be around 6 digits by that time and maybe more countries are going to legally adopt it like what El Salvador is doing. |
