Great move by Top Rank to give Lopez a chance to get a belt at 140 lbs, hehehe. It was supposedly a rematch between Taylor and Catterall, but Josh got injured or something and so they postponed it. However, this news surfaces a few weeks after that and Catterall was sidestep by the announcement. But he can't do anything as this is official now. Yeah, lots of issues with Josh now, his fight with Catterall was controversial, having problems making the weight limit and his injuries. And with that, Lopez will definitely be a live dog against the champion here. He doesn't look good or sharp at 140 lbs in my opinion, but this is a opportunity that he won't passed and so I'm giving him a chance to pull an upset.

The Lakers back is against the wall right now, they need to find a big man that will help Davis, Mo is injured if I'm not mistaken and there are no timeline for his return. Gabriel is too small to play the center and we all know that Bryant left already, but I guess it is a bad decision for him as he was not effective with the Dallas team. In any case for the Lakers, and even if Thompson hasn't play for a year, if they think that he will be a good fit as of this season or if they go to the playoff, then it will be a good acquisition for them.

Parang maingat ang operator kaya nagtagal ang FBI o kung sino mang autoridad nila ang humabol. Pero pinagtyagaan at tinabraho talaga sya or sila. May ugong ugong na fall guy lang ang Vietnamese na sinasabi nilang operator.

I agree, 7TB of data, napakalaki nun, pero sa tingin ko hindi naman lahat ang tatargetin ng US dun, most likely ang sisilipin eh yung mga criminals and baka yung North Korea Lazarus group na nanghahack at ginagamit ang CM sa pag mix ng coins o yung mga hacks na dati pa. Pero kung simpleng mix lang natin siguro hindi naman siguro nila papansin. Meron din nagsabi na baka ang campaign manager ng CM eh silipin, pero I doubt that as well. Yun lang, ang sabi nila hindi sila nag log pero may nakuhang 7TB worth of data.

Where do you get your numbers that there are low demand in BTC? Lol, have you seen the current rise in the price? Have you seen that we almost doubled the price that what we have like 5-6 months ago?

Or it is just me on the timing of this kind of threads from newbies, hehehe, it's either they just like to create FUD and buy more bitcoin or really doesn't know what's going on right now. Although technically we are still in the bear market, but having grown at the start of the year, for sure there is more demand right now as compare to last year. And regarding the argument that nobody wants to keep their money in Bitcoin, it already proven itself to be a good financial hedge, just like what we have seen during the pandemic crisis in 2020. It went down in March but later on went on a bull run, topping $60k++. So it's not a wise decision to think that BTC is not a safe haven specially with the Banking crisis that we are witnessing.

Yep, he is just going on ranks that time, he already has name though, nut not household enough for the casual fans to recognized his him. Until he beat Herring that time, who held the WBO World Super Feather and has been tearing the division (Shakur holds the interim title). But when they fought he just dominated Herring and get this title solidifying his status. And then fought Oscar Valdez for the WBC World Super Feather in which he knock down Valdez 2x, (which also that time is bigger than Shakur in terms of name). With that win against the highly touted Valdez, his name is now on the limelight. But the true test for him will be the 135 lbs as there are a lot of great name boxers here.

Just 1 out of 2 for me, Bucks didn't cover the spread by just .5 points hehehehe, very close game indeed.

Philly vs Bulls -  Sixers is riding on a good winning streak and they are back at their homecourt, so -6.5 @ 1.62 for them. Joel Embiid playing like MVP, so I'm expecting another huge game for him and so is Harden.

Memphis vs Dallas - Same here, even without Ja Morant, Memphis is in winning form and fighting for the second spot against the Kings. So they will have to win this game against Dallas as they have the advantage at home and still without Luka if I'm not mistaken. -3.5 for Memphis @1.86. Parlay them  @3.01.

There could be some attractive odds for Inoue to win by KO or by Decision.



Of course a Fulton win by any other method is going to be high, but that's tough for him. But if we will go right now with a bet on Inoue, might be good by KO or by Decision. By KO because we all have seen the destructive power of Inoue and even if he is going up in weight, he might carry it with him. And if Fulton is really that tough not to crack for Inoue, he could also win by decision.

And here are the odds now, as per Stake:



As we all expected, Ryder is 8:1 underdog, and even David Benavidez says that this is just a tune up for Canelo. And with that, no value in betting for ML here on Canelo, but if you love the underdog Ryder, then it's already a very mouth watering odds, hehehe, but the risk is very high. This is Canelo's best weight, and will be fighting in what could be the biggest live audience in the last 5-10 years because it's going to be held in Mexico. So just imagine the magnitude if he is going to lose this fight. So he will do his best to maybe end this fight quickly. I reckon the line for the Over and Under will be 7.5 rounds, let's see how bookies are going to list it.

Hehehe, yeah and someone said that this could be an old video or maybe the owner just wanted his 10 minutes of fame and what a way to do it with Caleb as he will have a fight this weekend against "Fat Boy", that's how he addresses David Benavidez now hehehe. So really very interesting and good fight for us this weekend, I haven't put any bet yet, but we will see.

And in response, Benavidez says that he has been called fat throughout his childhood, but nevertheless, this fat boy has power and knocks most of his opponents.

David though still the favorite for this fight obviously, but we should be looking for good options to bet not just on ML if we are on David's bandwagon.

And Caleb has support from former champion Shawn Porter:

Still work both ways though, I mean if the price of crypto is down, then yeah, it's better to play with our bitcoin and altcoins. But there is one thread wherein when the price of let's say BTC is going up, there are gamblers who opted not to play with their precious bitcoin, just saying.


No longer that case though, we have heard horror stories already of crypto based casino asking for KYC specially if you have won big. And it's not an assurance that you are going to get paid right away even if you submitted one. So there's no such thing as No-KYC policy for casinos now.


As I have said previously, depends on how gamblers take that volatility, there could be some individual not playing their crypto when we are in a bull run.


Personally, I don't see that much different playing on land base casinos or crypto based sites. Of course, you can play at home that's one advantage, but as far as volatility and KYC and other factors, just the same for me, the thrill will always be there.

And they will still have problems in the remaining of the season:

Warriors at Toyota Center vs Houston Rockets
Warriors at American Airline Center against Dallas

They go back at Chase but then will have to face one of the hottest team right now, Philly.

So next their next 2 games will be critical before they can go home and defend their homecourt and hope for a good run before the end of the regular season and see where their standings are. And not to bring him down or something, but I'm not seeing the Warriors going back to back with their lineup.

Yeah, that time we never knew how that fight will turn out, but maybe majority never heard of Bivol, how good and fast he is as LHW and Canelo is really riding on a winning streak and everyone he faces at 168 lbs was destroyed by him. And everyone see him as invincible even if he is going up in weight. His camp are even talking of going as high as CW, and at LHW, he had won a belt already so we think that he will just steamroll the champion in Bivol. And another important thing is that he or someone in his camp may have the judges under their pocket, to just make sure that he is going to win. But they were all wrong and Bivol won although it's a bit controversy as I have said because the judges was trying to make the score closer or at least hoping to get a draw.

Taking into consideration the last all time high? and like multiplying it with 2.5-2.6x (based on the last numbers that we are getting every 4 year high), maybe we can see a rough estimate as how big the next bull run will be in 2024/25. So maybe around $100k-$200k (this is a guess or estimate).

I'm not sure though why your portfolio just takes 30% of BTC. On the contrary, perhaps majority here could have more BTC in their pocket like 60% or more and then the rest is altcoins. Anyhow, yeah, we are still far from the next bull run, bitcoin halving is around last week of March to first week of April, so still have 12 months of continuing to DCA and stack sats. And then after the we can still accumulate even in the bull market. But obviously the time is right now since the price is still very cheap and easy to acquire.

Simply means that you invest money that won't harm you later, so it could be extra money in your pocket that if you spend, you still have some that you can get out of your pocket and you can eat 3x a days.

And so it's process, and really vary from individual to individual, maybe some of us can invest $100-$1000 without any issues with them.

But there could be investors that will start small and then later as they mature and learn more, grow their investments. Just remember though that investing involves risk no matter what.

Yes, it could be that this developers is waiting for the right time to go live with their projects. And as we all know, all roads to BTC, so they wait for time where the price is really going up, like in a bull run that we are experiencing right now, so it might be a good strategy. However, we should also think that timing might just be one factor behind the success or shall I say the pump (and then follow by dumping if that is the case). The project must be solid from ground up, developers are very active and it should be unique, at least they have something to offer to the public and the potential end user of it. Maybe if we can see which projects rolled out this week, and we can gauge them in the next coming months if they become successful because of the time or the project was simply a pump and dump.

Hey, haven't seen you in a while mate, welcome back!!

Yeah, I will agree with your observation, it's now that this boxing promotion is under the promotions and network affiliations. Initially you will think that they have the control, mandating all this fight and what not. But if you look at it, like in this case, Ryder was hand pick because it's going to be an easy fight for Canelo. Matchroom and Hearn are looking for a boxer that will not be a threat to Canelo as he is coming back from his injuries and Ryder is a perfect fit for that. And the organization can justify that he is their number 1 seeding or whatever, or he is on a 4 fight winning streak. But we all know that Canelo can choice any fighter that he wants. And again, to put some reasons behind, Canelo said that he is not after the money, but wanted to fight in his native country, Mexico. So in any case, all in house money for Eddie Hearn and Canelo proving himself as cash cow if he can sell out one of the biggest venue in Mexico. You can't ask for a better set up that than. 

Yeah, it was a deja vu, I mean like 2 seasons ago if my memory serves me right, Knicks had a good run and mostly they are the underdogs and I made a good money out of them during the regular seasons because they have that last one kick in the final minutes to close out their opponents wherein home court or away from them. But last season was different though, they struggled, but with the acquisition of Brunson, the team is now in tune, Randle have that confident again to shot although sometimes he tries to become Steph hehehe. Kings though for me as the breakout team for this season, everyone is jiving, Fox and Sabonis are deadly, and they are now on the second spot in the West.


Not just Wiggins though, the second unit of the Warriors is very different from last year. They have Bjelica who can give them quality minutes while Looney and Green take a rest, this center can run and shoot from the outside. Otto Porter can also give them offense and play good defense, same as Juan Toscano Anderson and D. Lee. GPII is back with them but he is not playing though.

I wouldn't say they "trust" it a lot, but choosing lesser of the two evil, obviously, BTC and crypto will be the logical choice for the majority right now. Those who are rich and wanted to hedge their wealth and stop it from going down, they don't want to depreciate it. And then there are us, BTC enthusiast who, whatever the outcome is, whether there is banking crisis or not, will definitely be pro-BTC. And most likely the majority right now, average Joe who wants to fight inflation as well moving their assets to BTC. And so with that and other factors, I never thought that this pimp is going to continue to $28k. But here we are right now, and most likely it might be pushed to $30k until we get exhausted.

Bucks vs Raptors, Toronto is hot, but they are on the road and against the best team in the East, and Bucks is coming from a lost so they want to get back on that winning column again, so I will go with them -7.5 @1.96.

Portland vs Clippers - I will go with the Clippers here, they should be the favorite here, but I'm going on a -3.5 @1.81. Lillard though might have another big offensive night, but it will not be enough as it's tough for them to defend Kawhi and PG at the same time.

"Bitcoin-first online merchants"

I think this is what we have been calling for years, to see some online business as big as Amazon to accept bitcoin as payment scheme and then see how it goes. There are a lot of websites that is accepting BTC as of now, but I think there hasn't been one as huge as Amazon in the e-commerce. Although there are news that they are going to accept it way back, but it didn't materialized. One big negative though that maybe why there e-commerce are not accepting BTC universally is that it is very volatile and this businesses needs that liquidity right away. They don't have the luxury to wait for the price to increase or even break even. So it's really a big challenge for us to see it one day BTC being accepted.
