1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Force with myself Bitcoin Investment or flexible Investment. on: Today at 05:45:48 PM
I disagree with forcing oneself to investing in Bitcoin. Pressure either breaks or strengthen you
I believe life itself has given us much pressure so adding personal pressure because of Bitcoin isn't warranted.

Investing in Bitcoin is not something that's forced
It should be done with the want and need not through pressure
If you force yourself, you can break when the market dips.


Imo

If he wants to succeed so much and it motivates him to just save a little money to buy BTC, it's not so impossible to make $200 BTC to go 5x or more when the market keeps the steady bull market.

Hearing the advice of the finance guys these days will make you wanna save and invest in Gold and Bitcoin actually if you want to survive what's coming in 2025.  They say the inflation could be the most unbearable for someone who just has a 9-5 job. Its best be an investor of some kind as well

I've seen hundreds of posts on social media posting very obscure and click naity videos with stake's or rainbet's logo on the bottom.

It's so absurd. I wonder if this kind of promotion actually earn them anything. Because the logo being there is very irrelevant and arguably many people have started hating seeing these click bait videos in their timeline.

So out of those that watch the video, who would really want to gamble just for seing a logo? I want to understand if there's any other incentive here or if these casinos are just so desperate to get their name out.

Well, I think because few of them are actually popular and reputable in the crypto community, you can ignore the aggressiveness of the advertising strategy. After all, they are not hurting anyone and in fact, they are sponsoring more athletes not just for one sport but one of the most covered by international media.

This is pretty much something that Stake organized, and F1 drivers are competing with the UFC champs. Entertaining actually and this one is not illegal unlike inserting the URL to someone else movie.

And watch this...  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

UFC Tampa:  Covington Media Day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtXP-EpxMsM

God bless your tokeweed I am a company man, I love to post on this thread, it is always my decision to post here or not...5min later... tokeweed, you pushed me to post this comment Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Damn, I can even remember who was Colbys last opponent. I only remember that he and Masvidal were throwing trash on each other (and then he got sucker punched on the street by Masvidal) and he fought and lost to Usman. This is a short notice fight for him, he does not know much about his opponent (as he never watches their fights, they should be prepared to fight him instead) and hopes to win thanks to stamina. My bet goes on Buckley Grin

We post here mostly for the lulz.  Cheesy Cheesy

The vid actually made me want to make small bet on Covington.  Not sure if I'll do it tho.  Let's see after the weigh ins.  If Covington looks fresh, he's prolly worth a small bet as this is a big step up for Buckley...  Assuming Covington is motivated for this match up.

Official weigh ins will be in 1.5 hours or so...

UFC Tampa Official Weigh In Live Stream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UPhwy8zKGw

He is fighting a 30 yo finisher. Covington is going to need a lot of luck, and for a small amount, I'd probably cast Covington by Sub 16.00 to make it worth it.

He couldn't just say No he isn't fighting Garry but he will unless Garry does the 3 impossible stipulations. Jesus Convington is a chatter himself kissing Dana's ass for the 4th title shot.  Colby the Forever UFC fighter.

Right, at this point, we should not be expecting Inoue vs Casimero. And if I'm Casimero, I will just move on and not chase the Japanese as they have a different path, ...

I have been following the career of Casimero for a while, and I believe he has been chasing Inoue for a while, and now that they’re in the same division, the fight still hasn’t happened. I get what Casimero wants, he’s aiming to become a champion, and to do that, he needs to beat a champion. But Inoue hasn’t given him the chance, even though it’s possible for their camps to arrange the fight.

That's what some other boxing analyst says.
But they are also saying Casimiro is risky and they are not going to risk Inoue for Casimero to rise because Casimero is only known in the Philipines Islands whereas Inoue is gaining popularity in the US. They do have plans for Inoue to one day fight his biggest payday in US.

Why is this Inoue vs Goodman not yet in many crypto casinos? Obviously, Inoue is going to be the favorite, I'm curious how much to profit for Inoue by KO.

Will Israel invade Syria in 2024? $408,982 Vol.

Would you try to make money on this?

Looks like the invasion already started according to the news.  I think the people who are into geopolitics could foresee this coming beforehand.
Whoever bets YES wins the large sum as this is premeditated.

Of course they didn't say Israel invaded Syria but it's the same thing as it only sounds like Israeli troops visited the place when in fact they were already in the Golan Heights before the terrorists came.  Golan Heights has been part of Syria since time immemorial.

Nope I'm not betting on this kind of events.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will other nations respond to US Bitcoin reserve proposal? on: December 12, 2024, 03:57:42 PM
I have been thinking about some of the things that happened this year as they relate to Bitcoin and what could possibly happen next year. One thing that that filled my imagination is the reaction of other countries should the US start accumulating Bitcoin based on the promises of President Donald Trump. If this happens, chances are high that nations will be dragging who will hold more because no one wants to be left behind. Imagine what this will do to the price of a Bitcoin.

Anyways, this is just my imagination

If this really materialized then other country will watch closely on the result since it will need some time in able to check the outcome. The question here is whether US is willing to become trial version country for this kind of risky move?

I’m sure many country will follow if this proposal is proven effective. I’m more concerned if this proposal will be accepted rather thinking on what will be the move of other country.

There will be a few other scenarios that could happen but most probably other countries will not wait for the 200K BTC to be bought by the Trump admin, other countries will be buying. I think they are even buying now as Trump planned it yet.

Other countries will be seizing BTCs from the crypto businesses in the country. They will start accusing the local exchanges and the wallets most probably.  Grin Maybe extort the CEOs, 3rd world countries are known to have done crazier stuff.

Let us talk about the last event of the year for this UFC Fight Night in Tampa, shall we?

Did anybody see the media day yesterday with Colby Covington talking about every fighter recently?
It is quite amusing and is his arrogant attitude that stands out more than his fighting experience in the octagon that stands out more than not.
Colby Covington goes OFF - Trump is going to make America right again!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRIrN-q3gf8

Man of the Hour messes everyone, he is a funny dude. He said he is the superstar in his current division. lol Fans know he was ducking Garry when the discussion about the fight floats and now he wants to fight Usman for the 3rd time while accusing Usman cheated him.  After this Buckley, they should set him up with Garry to see who's the superstar.

Of course, Khabib is Trump's fave fighter. Trump came on his fight against Edwards and was disappointed, the president exited the arena and didn't wait for his octagon interview.

When you said creating your own Bull, I had it in mind that you are going to do what this guy did in the movie MONEY MONSTER.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8UusCs3534
He said, Turning bad investment into good by sheer Force of Will.   Grin

He was wrapped in explosives but he tried convincing the people watching the hostage-taking live to buy the stock, for the price to go up.  In your case, you just tell it to your family and friends.

Anyway, good luck to your Risy DAO.

Trump's rating is too high to supersede. The Vol on Elon is much more than Trump's, but Trump will likely win this race. 

But this bet lies in the hands of TIME magazine. If they don't give this to Trump, it's all up to them. And It all depends on me, I would be happy to vote for Rogan, this man has more influence than the legacy media today. Netanyahu and Kamala shouldn't even be in the options.

Not just one the X vidoes. One of the most combatant advertisements despite the URL being hardcoded on the video.

They do these watermarks on movies from download sites like torrents. I sometimes download new movies that aren't yet on Netflix. Just recently I tried the Moan2 because my kid asked for it. Just right before the movie started, I already saw a 1xbet URL watermark in the video.

If you can prove its the casino that does this hard-coded URL, they can be sued right?
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 10, 2024, 08:10:08 PM
Originally Covington was planned to fight Ian Machado Garry as far as I know, but Garry saved UFC 310 and Buckley saved last years main event Cheesy On one hand it is Covington that comes after a huge pause, and Buckley who comes on 1.5 month notice. Really dont know who is going to win. Either Colby thanks to wrestling and stamina, or Buckley will shut him down, which seems to be more real. I think that Colby will go for the cheque, Buckley for the skull. Anyway, I wish to see more of Buckley in future than Colby, who should retire in year or two.

Since Garry and Buckley are still in thier prime, whichever Covington fights, he will still be beaten badly. Covington is Dana's pet and if Covington is the one picking Buckley, Colby must have some advantage despite inactivity.

Covington doesn't look so washed especially if you think about his cardio. It's his big advantage if he just wants to make his chances. He lasted twice against Usman.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: December 10, 2024, 04:54:58 PM
But Garry showed the way for the next fighters who will face Shavkat. Garry showed that Shavkat can bleed! And he almost won.
You nailed the right word for it. If Shavkat wins the championship against Belal, I want to see Garry next in line for the defense of Shavkat. That will probably gain a lot of hype as Garry did show that he is almost on the same level as Shavkat after that performance in UFC 310. He just lacked that early heat and found out that he could use his kicks to gain the upper hand and notice his reach advantage.

Belal has a high chance of restaging what Garry did against Shavkat and might possibly win if he could even be behind Shav. Shavkaat has a hard time putting Garry down on the mat which Belal could surely do the same.

When Shavkat has 1 loss and Garry also has 1L, they will both deserve a second fight. Belal wouldn't have to know how he could defeat Shav if he jumped right in to defend his title. I guess he'd be more confident.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I hit a big multi in sport bet by copying other bets, not a big amount on: December 10, 2024, 04:44:13 PM

You copied it right from someone, and it's hard to achieve that 8 wins. I tried several times in the five matches, but there was always an upset that would turn the tide against my bet.

The problem with this kind of win is that you only bet the tiniest amount you can spare. I'm not sure why the platform also allows you to do this while they won't on dice or slots. Anyway, congrats to you. Next time you try to win big.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Working during holidays on: December 09, 2024, 04:10:12 PM

Why don't they give incentives to employees who work on holidays? This way, they won't hold a grudge that they won't be spending their days as usual. Holidays are special days, so they should at least feel special while they work.

It's supposed to be a mutual benefit for employers and employees. If this is not a good deal for them, then why should they work for a company that does care for them? The only reason companies thrive is because of them, too. It's simple to figure out.
15  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's Your Own Fact About Gambling? on: December 09, 2024, 03:39:09 PM
My own fact is that you'll never know until you try.
Who knows what could happen, a simple bet on a lottery ticket could change your life forever. Or you could lose your entire savings chasing your dream.  You just have to learn when to stop before it happens because there is also another fact to learn after losing it all when you end up miserable.

Then you realize another fact, Gambling is not for all.

Merab beat Cejudo like he was nothing while this is the guy who became the youngest American to win an Olympic gold in wrestling.

Merab beat shadow of Cejudo Cheesy Cejudo has been retired from sports in 2020. He was great in wrestling in 2006-2008. And Merab beat him only in 2024. When Jake Paul fights retired or old fighters people make laugh at him. When Merab beats the guy who hasnt been in real action for 4 years, comes after a shoulder injury and has retired, it is considered as a great achievement.

They fought early this year 2024. Although Cejudo lost he is not even hurt badly, the only reason most of them want to fight Cejudo is because it always makes a huge payout. Merab fighting Umar is different. Although it has been said before that Merab wants to fight Umar, that was before he didn't have a belt. Now he has something to hold on to. Umar vs Merab better be a big payout for him which I guess hyping makes sense.

Now that we see Shavkat didn't make a big win vs Machado I think Belal does have a good chance as well. If Belal was in the position of Machado behind Shavkatm he would make sure he would choke Shavkat. I now remember the name.  Grin

What a UFC event last night for the final numbered card of the year and it was a great one!
Shavkat Rakhmonov won but nearly got choked out in the final few minutes of the final round by Ian Garry.

The Japanese phenom didn't win on his debut in the UFC as many had already predicted exactly how it was going to play out.
Asakura was striking early on with those flying knees but the champion was not having any of that and just manhandled him until he subbed him in the second round.

Aljo lost his match up against an awesome looking Movsar Evloev.
He is prepared to go on to take his next opponent which he had already mentioned he wanted to face off against in the post fight interview:
Movsar Evloev Won't Beg Dana White for Title Shot, Will Keep Winning to '100-0' - Calls Out Ilia Topuria: 'I Need His Title'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvTJJcC3d24

It's only at the last minute that Rakhmonov escaped that tight triangle on his body. The welterweight division needs more of those grapplers other than Rakhmonov.

It's too early for Evloev to have a title shot. I doubt he could handle Topuria since he is not a finisher, but yeah, he can wrestle. Surprised to know he has a programming and law degree, he does have an option besides fighting but he is currently enjoying the trips.

As much as I want to see one person saying sorry, I don't see it going to happen since they are still waiting for BTC's fall. They even announce the death of BTC in every bear market so yeah they will remain a critic forever even if there is a Bitcoin Reserve already.

We could see them trying to talk about how they tricked people into not buying while they were buying. So it's not going to be surprising if one of them announces they own more than a thousand BTC. That would be a funny announcement that's for sure.

Is there anything else in your mind that made you ask if jail is a fair price?
Can't fight eye for an eye this time or else you could also go to jail. The fan also is at fault but killing is a criminal offense. Both of them are not thinking of consequences so it ends tragically.

The celebration was cut short because the manager decided to switch off the power, of course, the other party will be annoyed by what they did.

Wow, this is getting personal for Merab. The relationship between Merab and Umar is getting terrible. Did you guys watch the press conference? If not, then you should watch it, especially if you are a fan of Merab.
Merab said that Umar congratulated him when he beat Petr Yan and now he wants to fight Merab, he calls Umar a snitch and I get it. Umar wasn't happy for Merab's win, he wanted to fight him in his heart but there is a thing that scares me. I believe Merab is too afraid of Umar, Merab said many times that this fight is a gift for him from the UFC. Will Merab lose? Merab is too strong, has a great cardio, discipline and skills. I don't know much about Umar, haven't seen his fights but Merab looks too scared. I hope he wins because he deserves it and Dana White is a shameless man. He doesn't like Dvalishvili and does absolutely everything he can to get rid of Merab. I hope Merab beats Umar, I love it when things go the way Dana White doesn't want.

It's going where Dana wants it. I just watched the press. Merab is too afraid to face off, he stays afar   Grin
Feel bad for him. Dana didn't even want him to at least win a single title defense fight. But they can really sell this UFC 311 well with these two.

We can partly test level of Islams wrestling from the match Umar vs Merab. Umar, Khabib, Islam came from one wrestling school, from Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. In theiry their wrestling should be on same level. Merab is also great at wrestling (rewatch fight against Petr Yan) and has great cardio. Never seen Arman breathing heavily in late rounds. Islam never had top level wrestlers opponents, as well as Umar. If Umar passes Merab wrestling, then Islam should not worry about Armans wrestling Grin

Not just from one wrestling school, they also take a dip in one Jacuzzi that's what Merab tweeted lol But Islam's wrestling looks very solid they say. I think Islam can take down just about anyone.
