It is unlikely that Binance will just go bankrupt easily. It is not perfect but CZ and his team are working hard for the company to stay, develop and innovate. The good thing about Binance is its willingness to work with various governments. Binance unlike most exchanges is courting a lot of countries for it to operate under their own sets of regulations.

And there's also BSC which made Binance more valuable compared to the other exchanges. BSC remained a top choice for projects and users due to its cheaper fees and its growing community. Binance Labs also continues to provide support ideas and innovations in turning them into reality.

Thanks to the internet, more and more people nowadays are informed as to how the banks suck. Although I hear about banks in some countries that offer high deposit interest rates and not that far compared to their loan interest rates. But most banks suck especially in my country where they only offer around 0.25% interest rates on deposits and that excludes the tax which is 20% while their loan interest rates are ranged from 18% to 24%+. The discrepancy is just too big, these banks are making money out of thin air.

On the other hand, bitcoin over the years has proved its value. Every halving and the following year have a 100% success rate that increases its value. So I would rather stack a big part of my savings in bitcoin rather than give it to the banks where it losses its value over time due to inflation.

Indeed. Retirement funds should remain diversified and not just into stocks. It just sucks when we hear people losing a lot of their lifetime and retirement funds into stocks wherein they went all in.

Not all are interested in learning deeper technical skills but somehow investors should check it for history and trend purposes at least. In my country, a lot of people invested in stocks thru investment firms which actually sucks IMO since they just usually scatter the funds to blue chip companies which makes their fees and profit sharing not worth it especially when these stocks are slowly moving.

Sad day for Ph sports fans. Fil-am coach Erik Spoeltra's team, Miami Heat also lost. I also thought Jerusalem would successfully defend his belt but well, it is what it is.

The odds were not that surprising, the house will always do its research thoroughly and seldom lose. Jerusalem might be the champion but we should not forget that he was losing the fight before delivering that scintillating punch that enabled him to become the WBO champion. Besides, the number of fights does not really matter much because it is all about the quality of opponents. Prior to becoming champion, Jerusalem was fed with weak opponents by the former ALA stable. He was then given a title fight against a Thai and lost then comes another unpopular but world-class Ph fighter, Joey Maderal Canoy where Jerusalem lost again.

Collazo on the other hand was tested right away when Golden Boy took him. He beat another Filipino, the battle-tested former WBO champion Vic Saludar and then went on to the eliminator before facing Jerusalem. Fun fact, Saludar also won the belt from a Japanese and then lost it also to a Puerto Rican who then lost his belt to a Japanese whom Jerusalem beat. So maybe the trend will repeat again.

Today's 4 title fights resulted in 3 upsets and 3 new world champions:
Matchroom/DAZN- Leigh Wood(27-3-16 KOs) snatched the vacant WBA featherweight belt again with a decision against the overweight ex-champ Mauricio Lara(26-3-19 KOs).
Boxxer/Sky Sports(UK)- Another upset, Chris Billam-Smith (18-1-12 KOs) is the new WBO cruiserweight champion with a  majority decision win over former champ Lawrence Okolie (19-1-14 KOs).
Top Rank-Queensberry/ESPN-BT Sport(UK)- Luis Alberto Lopez (28-2-16 KOs) retained his IBF belt with a huge uppercut against the Irish favorite Michael Conlan (18-2-9 KOs).

This series is really unreal. And I cannot even remember the odds when Miami was leading 3-0 with the 4th game still on their home court. I did remember that Boston was the betting favorite in games 4 (Miami court), 5 (Boston court), and 6 (Miami court). The best way to cash out was probably after Boston won game 5 at home. Now this game 7 is clearly much more in Boston's favor and the odds are probably not closer than it used to be. And I'm not even surprised if Boston all of a sudden becomes the favorite once again to win the championships over Denver if they beat Miami in game 7.

I wonder if there are still a lot of people that are rooting for Miami to win game 7. I am a Miami fan so I want them to win but I won't bet this time. How I wish I accepted the plus earlier today, I would've won. I was just a little confident that Miami will win because it seems like it is their last-best chance to close the series.

We will see. It could be that Miami Heat played regularly their remaining games after making a surprising 3-0 lead. Miami Heat on paper cannot beat the Boston Celtics. They need to play 101% to beat the league's favorite.

Gabe Vincent has to play in game 6. He is 1 of Miami's contributor and his absence in game 5 hurt their chances of winning. This game might be the last chance of Miami to reach the finals once again. They should go all in this time and never give the Celtics another chance, especially when the last deciding game is at Boston. Besides, there is no team that was able to recover from a 0-3 deficit. It would be a shame to Miami, coach Spo and Butler to be the only team that allowed it. It will touch their pride although on paper their team really has exceeded expectations already as the odds never thought they will be here in the eastern finals.

That's odd because I cannot remember seeing gambling odds on Youtube. Most of the time my television is turned on and mostly on Youtube. Not a single betting advertisement for nearly 2 years.

On my computer I use Brave as my browser so there are no advertisements. Sometimes I still use Chrome for Youtube but still I cannot remember seeing any gambling advertisements.

Usually it is based on the algorithm and your location. I used Brave and since it automatically blocked advertisements on Youtube I cannot find one. But I do remember seeing gambling advertisements on Facebook.

Hope he won't get robbed.

Comparing boxing to UFC is like comparing basketball's NBA to football. So how much do MMA and boxers receive regularly?

UFC is like Matchroom or Top Rank or PBC or Golden Boy in boxing. The difference is that the UFC is bigger than these 4 biggest boxing promotions combined. So why is it that they are less valued when Matchroom is paying Canelo and Joshua around $20 to $50 million per fight? Simple, the UFC makes PPV events to earn money while in boxing PPVs are made to pay fighters they cannot afford. The UFC takes nearly all of the PPV revenues while superstars in boxing will get 70% to even 100% of the revenues in their PPVs. The same reason why HBO left boxing is that PPVs involve a lot of money guarantees which is risky if it flops while it only takes a little to zero of the revenue.

Only 2 events per year in boxing? This weekend there are 5 championship fights in separate events. DAZN, ESPN, and Showtime have weekly events most of the time. So since the UFC has its own weekly events as well, does it mean it is losing money to many of its events which is why it needs to save money from their other events? Every event is supposed to earn revenue otherwise why stage the event? The UFC is earning a billion each year, does this sounds like it is having a hard time maintaining the purse of its fighters?


Fury may sound dumb at times and I would gladly love to see him getting choked cold by Jon. But the reality is Fury is always careful and greedy when it comes to money and his undefeated record. And Jon actually has no say if he wants to earn big bucks against Fury. Fury probably earned around a hundred million dollars in his last 3 fights, why would he allow Dana and Jon to dictate the terms? Belly was probably laughing and mocking after seeing and hearing Dana's statement.

$30 is still very cheap, less than 50% of its previous ATH so definitely that won't stop me from continuing my DCA. My plan is to continue with the DCA until the halving month or if bitcoin reachest like $50k whichever comes first. I am also slowly accumulating some altcoins and I might focus more on them when bitcoin reaches $50k. Many of these altcoins will have more growth than bitcoin during a major bull run so I won't miss it. But long term goals, definitely bitcoin is unparalleled and would stick to it. 

Any tips for today's matches? 2 remaining exciting matches today. OG needs a win but can they do it against Liquid? There's also Team Secret against Entity. Team Secret has not shown anything so far this season but maybe it's just like last season when they finally get their plays in the final qualifiers and then went great at TI.

I will bet on OG +1.5. They are desperate for a slot in the major so they should be able to take at least 1 map here. I am not really good when it comes to the number of maps so usually I just went the safer route which is the money line.

But what if the market capitalization of bitcoin becomes $20 trillion in the near future? Will it continue to remain unstable and volatile? It will be very difficult to find another $20 trillion to double the price of bitcoin.

My thought is that if bitcoin will continue to rise in the next years to come, it will come to a point where its valuation is just too high to become volatile. Just like the blue chips in the stock market where its movements are not as volatile anymore compared to those stocks that are only worth hundreds of millions in dollars.

Inoue is unlike the other stars, Fury, Spence, Tank, etc., who are always playing with exploitations, ducking, a-side excuses, and other shits to make legacy fights. Inoue is straight forward and people love it. And Inoue is a proven world-class fighter, his current achievement is even more than enough to secure his Hall of Fame when he retires.

This is a new division though so we will see if he retains his speed and if his power is still as destructive. Fulton is also a proven fighter and my hats off to him to personally tell Al Haymon that he wants Inoue and that he is willing to travel in Japan. With regards to Fulton's unification fight with Figueroa where he was able to add the WBC belt to his WBO, it was a close fight and if I am not mistaken, the stats actually favored Figueroa slightly. I think my score also favored Figueroa although it was close but I can feel the disappointment of Figueroa so there is indeed a need for a rematch. Maybe the power of Figueroa and Inoue have the same impact but the latter's speed and timing will make a difference. Getting hit by a power punch off-guard is not the same when you are conscious about an incoming power punch that is about to hit your face or body.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen. It seems that we are finally told what is next for Errol Spence. Many reliable sources are already spreading the news about a July undisputed fight between Terrence Crawford and Errol Spence. But I will remain doubtful until I see both fighters in a build-up face-to-face marketing promotion. That is supposed to be a big PPV fight so I expect build-up conferences in some big cities to announce the big fight. Until then, I will remain this thread open. Also, I want to hear the WBC's official statement canceling its mandatory and allowing the unification to happen, otherwise, the WBC belt should become vacant. Or maybe Sulaiman is also doubtful about their baby Errol Spence and it needs further proof and evidence like a press conference to show that he is really willing to face the boogeyman who scored 13 knockouts out of his 14 last fights and that was since he moved up in weight.

The unification fight seems weird also since Spence is now the one being inactive and all of a sudden the always-keep-it-safe Al Haymon and Showtime approved this? Or is Crawford willing to sign with PBC and commit himself to Showtime after this fight? Nonetheless, I really really hope that it is for real and Spence won't make any excuses later on.

Money is the top reason why locals are favored to work abroad when given the chance. It will be hard and expensive for developing and poor countries to attain a working visa in Europe, the US, Canada, and Australia. But there are other options like in Asia especially the Middle East although its environment and salary rates are not as high as those western countries I mentioned. Japan, Korea, and Singapore are the best options when it comes to Asia since these countries are open, modern, and also offer high salaries but applicants need to be very competitive and the expense is also higher compared to the sandy deserts of the Middle East.

On paper, it should be the Canelo-Ryder and Loma-Haney as the most anticipated fights this month since they were for the undisputed belts but the sport is a business and fights are usually made not to cater to its hardcore fans but to bring the casuals and even those that have no idea to little know-how about the sport. So it was Davis-Garcia that became the most anticipated fight this month bringing 1.2 million PPV buys. It was reported that Loma-Haney PPV buys were only around 150k which is very very bad and it might also mean that ESPN and probably Top Rank too are losing money with these numbers. 

I expect this fight to catch up and make some noise next week or during the fight week. I also felt that Loma-Haney was not promoted well as I hardly see them prior to its fight week although it did well during the fight week. Attendance for the Loma-Haney bout of 14k was beyond my expectations and there were a lot of celebrities including fighters from rival promotions and networks which is unbelievable knowing how boring Haney fights. Although they might have flocked because it was for the undisputed belts and for Loma. PPV numbers though failed and Taylor-Lopez might do better especially if Lopez can fire back at Taylor's trash-talking. I expect Taylor, another arrogant fighter to try to bully Lopez during the coming face-offs.

The odds favored Taylor a lot. Probably because Teofimo's biggest win was only against an injured Loma and he was gifted a win in his last fight. Although Taylor himself had a very bad performance against Catterall in his last fight and he is already inactive for more than a year which might be enough for Lopez to capitalize. Taylor is also being vocal about the latest controversies in boxing in the US lately where all of them favored the home fighters. Teofimo's controversial decision win over Martin, Romero's surprise stoppage win over Barroso, and last week's Haney victory over the dominating Loma. Taylor wanted zero American judges in his fight with Teofimo Lopez and hopefully, it will be granted. They can take Japanese, Koreans, or other nationalities that are neutral.

It will be very very hard for the Celtics to make a comeback in this series and win. The best I can see is this can win this game 5 while at home but Miami should be able to win game 6 at Miami. There is a chance for Celtics to win the series but it will be small, the current betting odds is at 3.15 for them to win the series. If there is something the Celtics can motivate, it would be to become the first-ever team in the NBA to recover a 0-3 deficit which will be a shame to Miami and makes the record more difficult to achieve.

Gabe Vincent is out for Miami in this today's game by the way. Butler and Spoelstra need to work on their magic once again to bring positivity and confidence to its cast of undrafted players. But I am not beating today, it's too unpredictable and the Celtics are still the favorites at home.

There is no way Fulton can be branded as a coward. First, he unified his belt with another undefeated KO artist Brandon Figueroa and for most of the fight, Fulton did not back down even if he is not known as a heavy-handed fighter and went on to win a close fight.

And now Fulton is once again faced with another uphill battle as he travels to Japan to defend his belts against the monster. Fulton is a very gutsy fighter which is the result of his hunger for glory.

Given Ngannou's age, he might not really be as dangerous as he was before. Pretty sure all heavyweight prospects in MMA right now with lesser contracts have their eyes on PFL once they became free agents. And of course, Dana White knows what's going on in the industry and he is keeping an eye especially if PFL starts offering bigger contracts to fighters in other divisions.

From my understanding, Dana White will entertain Tyson Fury to face Jon Jones in UFC. So it means MMA rules? Or is Dana now willing to stage boxing rules inside the octagon? Because there is zero chance that Tyson Fury will consider MMA rules. He might not even listen to Dana or Jones' proposals knowing he is the $20 million per fight guy and will dictate the terms. If he ducked Usyk and is scared to bring the fight to neutral Saudi, how much more in MMA rules.

Congrats on your bets mate, Tundra and Bleed won already. GG is currently in a close game with Entity but they are the favorites to win. Regional qualifiers are getting tougher now since we only have 1 last major left before the TI. Time flies so fast, it's like a few months only since Tundra won TI.

It seems like Bleed Esports will finally join a DOTA major tournament this year. They're 4-0 with 3 matches left but it already won earlier over the top dangerous teams in the region. This is big for them because they still have the chance to enter TI should they perform decently at Bali Major.
