Cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin are growing at a fast pace. But the growth usually occurs in modern countries with fast internet. In poor places, especially in remote areas with very low to zero internet connection, many of them have no idea about bitcoin. It is also normal that the young generations are the ones open to new technologies. Of course, some old people can adopt innovations, especially well-educated ones. And most of the time the standards do not depend on the remote places or the poor majority as they are always late when it comes to innovations.   

I think you made a wrong interpretation of the tweet. Bitcoin can be some type of revolutionary bank that is unique these days. But do not get confused about the difference between a bank and a bitcoin. Bitcoin is a currency, it is not a corporation that is centralized. The best way to compare bitcoin is to fiat. Sooner or later if countries will allow bitcoin to become a legal tender then all the questions you raised OP are possible. Banks and businesses in the future will accept and use bitcoin for their mortgages, house rent, bills, medical bills, and many more.

It seems that the trend nowadays is on exchanges, coins, and stablecoins. Last year we had LUNA and its stable coin and then followed by FTX and its own coin. This year we should be more careful in investing a big portion of our portfolio in these types of coins. BNB is still part of my 20sh list of coins that I want to accumulate but I will drop it lower than 10%, it could be 5% of my portfolio. The focus should be more on bitcoin which remained intact over the years. 50% or more of my portfolio will be on bitcoin.

It never came into my mind about being late. It is what it is. Rather than spending time thinking about what happened in the past and the missed opportunities, it is best to just use our brain cells on what the future may come. There's always an opportunity everywhere for us to take advantage of. Hearing about successful stories, I am happy for them and it inspires me to work harder in order to reach their level.

Talking about the past, I am one of those that have an opportunity to become a dollar millionaire last halving but my emotions started to play against me and I also made a financial commitment that was too big for me to handle. And so I made the hard sacrifice of selling my bitcoins ranging from $3k to $4k. It was sad that I sold them at the lowest prices before the 2021 halving. But that was it, I learned the hard way. All I can say is that experience is really different no matter how much knowledge you earned from the past. Emotions are always not based on knowledge but on how big the portfolio is.

Yeah, fighters that have ample training time will usually train hard and then slow down in the later stages of the camp focusing more on the weight. David is a huge guy at 168 so he is the one that might spend time more on draining and maintaining weight.

Caleb Plant is still 30 so if there's something to improve, it is more about his technical skills which are already good enough. Caleb needs it as it will be very difficult to brawl and fight David in a physical way. I believe David will enter the ring as the bigger and stronger guy. The only problem with Caleb is if he can withstand some of the heavy punches that will land on him and the physicality of David. Caleb may fall just like in the Canelo fight where he was doing well but was finally caught in the late rounds. Caleb needs to be 100% conditioned here in order to move well and be prepared to do it for a 12-round fight.

We have the same outlook on bitcoin, it will rise further in the near future. You have a good start OP, at least you were able to increase your holdings when it went down to $19k. I am also doing a dollar-cost-averaging because I am also unsure of what bitcoin prices will do this year, it may go up but there is also a chance for it to drop down again. I am just confident that in the year of its halving, bitcoin will pump just like all of its previous halvings and I will not miss this opportunity of a lifetime.  

As expected, some teams will change in order to catch up. Team Secret just like last season is in a bumpy road and there are too many rivals in the region. March brought Execration into a major but they disappoint in the actual major. Maybe the lack of international experience of the team had mental effects. I am still doubtful on Nigma but we will see, maybe they will do good with March and the new patch. I don't know why Geek Slate brought a coach coming from a team that is underperforming lately.

I'm quite surprised by the question. OP, do you just spend money without limits? I just thought that it is normal for us to have a specific weekly or monthly budget allocated for our regular expenses like food, house bills, and maybe tuition fees for your kids if you have them. I have a monthly budget that is not that tight but not that big because I valued regular savings as a very very important part of my regular income. Especially now that bitcoin and crypto, in general, will be heading into a bull run sometime next year. I have my goals and I am hoping for another life-changing gain in the next crypto bull run.

Well done, mate. It is really crazy how these misinformed people are directly using bitcoin during scams. This is one of the reasons why I don't talk too much about crypto to my friends and relatives. Some of them thought bitcoin is an investment platform that provides regular returns. I don't want to waste my time arguing with them. I even heard some people talking about how unsecured bitcoin investments are after the closure of FTX. Well, then I cannot wait for the next bull run and ignore them when some of them start talking to me again about bitcoin.

Today's latest update on the injury of Kevin Durant. It says that he will be out for 2 to 3 weeks since he needs to get into the rehabilitation process. A re-evaluation of his injury will be updated after 2 weeks. So here we go, Durant seems possible to play in the closing games of the regular season and worst case scenario, he can still play in the playoffs. The current active roster of the Suns is still good although we cannot deny how competitive the western conference is now. Even Utah Jazz and Portland are capable of entering the playoffs so if a string of bad performances by the Suns can eliminate or send them into a play-in.

Thank you, Sinbad.

So do we have some members here that wished to invest in bitcoin a year or 2 years ago? Now that bitcoin dropped below $20k, investors have the opportunity to travel back in time which was 2020, the year before the last time bitcoin went into halving. Next year is bitcoin halving once again. There is plenty of time remaining for us to invest or start a DCA on bitcoin and some of your chosen altcoins. Personally, this drop in price can only lead bitcoin to another mini bull run this year which will be around $30k or even more. 

Hopefully, he will just retire for good. Even in that Murata fight, he looked too old and he was saved by his gifted powerful punch. He is already small at middleweight so at this stage of his career, it'll be scary for his health if he wants to continue fighting at 168. Maybe he can get an easy fight so he can retire with a win.

Time flies really fast. It seems like it was only a few years ago when GGG was then based in Germany just like his Universum stablemate Marco Maidana and then they entered the US and made a name for themselves. Such a very humble guy and is very straightforward with his goal which is to collect all the belts. Too bad he was exploited by boxing politics and was ducked for many years. Not sure if he can enter the International Boxing Hall of Fame but there is also a possibility knowing all his 2 defeats came from Canelo, a clear HOFer in the future. And he was clearly robbed in his first fight against Canelo. The 2nd fight was close and could go either way but it is very hard to win a decision against Canelo. Even Bivol and Mayweather nearly get robbed in spite of them taking Canelo to school. 

It looks like Tyson Fury took not just the WBC from Wilder but the being a duck champion as well. I remember when duck Wilder became the WBC champ and all the remaining belts were already held by Wlad and were denied a chance to become the first ever undisputed in the 4-belt era. Now Fury also has the chance to deny Usyk not just the undisputed heavyweight championship but also the chance to become the first undisputed in 2 divisions.

It's possible that Fury wants Usyk to become inactive for about a year. Fury can drag this out until April or May and when the sanctioning belts or Usyk will try to book for another opponent, Fury will accept the deal and schedule this fight around July or August.

I can smell a newbie spamming threads in order to gather merits. OP, maybe you should provide figures including sources to your basis. Or if you are just talking with the speculations in your mind, you can do research and check to verify what's on your mind.

If bitcoin has not accumulated any impressions then it won't be worth hundreds of billions of dollars today. It even reached a trillion dollars in value last 2021 and for most of the people that have deep experience than you, bitcoin is about to reach another all-time high in the next 2 years. There are also many shops and commercial companies that are accepting bitcoin already. Bitcoin is regulated in most countries around the world and some countries banned it which means it made huge impressions over the years. Bitcoin is also traded daily for billions of dollars.

A financial advisor that asks for fees and then will give us stats and information that can be taken on the internet for free? Maybe it works if the investor is too busy or lazy to check and research thoroughly the assets he wants to get in. But considering a person who's planning to take a loan in order to invest in a volatile asset and has no time to research about it is a big NO already. If the guy is rich and is just trying to diversify his investments without taking unnecessary loans then yeah, it is reasonable to pay a financial advisor. Otherwise, it is wrong to pay a financial advisor. It is even wrong in the first place to take a loan in order to invest in an asset without much knowledge about it. Purely, the guy is profit driven and is just tempted due to the words it keeps hearing and seeing around.

No one is late in crypto and that includes bitcoin. I always hear people saying bitcoin is already expensive and it prompted them to take a pass. Little that they knew that bitcoin is not even adopted by almost all countries around the world as a legal tender. And if someone is looking for a short-term investment, bitcoin is currently priced at $21k which is 3 times its previous highest price of $67k. Bitcoin's 4-year cycle is about to be reached and we all know that it always broke the ATH during the cycle. We may not able to see bitcoin increase by as many folds during its last cycles but I think it is safe to say that it will continue to increase at a significant level compared to traditional investments.

Tank has been campaigning in 3 divisions already and became a champion at 130. Although Tank's opponents are mostly cherry-picked and exploited which is normal as he was carefully handled by Mayweather before, Kingry's level of opposition makes no difference. So overall, Tank has the edge when it comes to experience and better opponents.

I am liking of a Tank by KO/TKO. But I won't probably bet since I want these 2 cherry-pickers to fight in a blood bath after years of ignoring the top tiers of their division. And hopefully, the winner will be ready to face the real dogs of their divisions; Shakur, Haney, Loma, Lopez, Taylor, Caterall, Prograis, Matias, etc.

I am one of those that wanted Donaire to hang it up over the years. There is nothing to prove in this division anyways. It could be financial that Donaire continued his career despite being past his prime. If Donaire wins, I doubt he will retire as his dream of becoming a 5 division world champion is still doable provided he can make the weight.

Boxing is one of my favorite sports but I am not really into black-and-white fight replays although I did watch a lot before. But Donaire could be a top 3 IMO. I always hear the name Eder Jofre as the GOAT of this division. I also ranked Donaire higher than Inoue in this division despite the latter becoming the only 4-belt undisputed. It's because Inoue had trouble against an old Donaire which means he would've been stopped if it was a prime Donaire that hurt him. Donaire also beat Cucholito Montiel whom I believe is better than all fighters Inoue beat at 118, except Donaire of course.

Earlier I woke up seeing a clip on Facebook of Kevin Durant slipping on the floor while warming up against OKC. I thought it won't become a major issue until I heard updates that he is not playing against OKC. It was supposed to be the first game of KD as a Suns in Phoenix. No update on his injury yet but hopefully it isn't that bad. Phoenix Suns are on fire right now with a 4 game winning streak. They'll be in trouble if KD isn't back as their next 3 games are against the Kings, Warriors, and Bucks. Imagine if it is once again a season-ending injury. Booker and CP3 are bad luck. **peace**
