Why not? as you have said $28k has been breach already and it seems that there's no stopping this so called bull run that we are seeing. And this week alone, we have gain so much that we have been breaking the biggest mental barrier that is $25k. And so that next stop is $28k, which is also reach by now. So we are looking like $30k for this week and if that happens then $32k at the end of the month. So it's within the possibility, the recent bank crisis in US is what really pushing individuals, investors or perhaps just average Joe putting their wealth into BTC and so there is FOMO. They are opting to a assets that can hedge their wealth and BTC is the only one option for them.

To be honest, i dont understand why some ppl so mad at KYC... and would like to know opinions of who is against that, just to understand an their view.
They probably doesn't want to send their personal info simple as that, and we all know that crypto should be (pseudo) anonymous, but it has change thru the years and regulators have step up and force KYC to every crypto services, including casinos. And because at one point, you just need a bitcoin address to withdraw simply as that, no questions ask. From now henceforth, my assumptions about KYC verification from reputable online gambling platforms have changed, I seek for answers and I find them, drop your opinions if you think I am wrong or you think this is not accurate enough.
I can understand where you are coming from, yeah, its messy and we don't like KYC, but it is what it is, it has changed a lot as I have said. They are being mandated now which is wrong, but they have to follow it so that they can remain in the space as it will be very hard for this casinos to exist without any KYC specially for big wins. So it's either you submit or not. Just for comparison though, even if you go landbased casinos and wanted to take advantage of their freebies, you will have to fill out forms and your information too. |

This is already given, the level of $20,000 is now the strong level. As on the peak of the bull run 2017-2018, the peak was around nearly $20,000.
So for now, I can consider it as a significant level because look when after we break that level this year, it's always now above $20,000 and that level is now acting as a support.
We quickly forgot that nothing is too strong to break below or above. If we think back to the FTX crash, when the market was dumping extensively on roller coasters and there was no support or resistance because of innumerable fears, we suddenly forgot all of that and turned bullish once more. Some were predicting $40k before June, but they all forgot that users have yet to see the thousands and hundreds of people who are still stuck on FTX. When the FTX continue case in court, many altcoins people have invested in end up not breathing again, the same $20k may be easily shattered. True, but it might take some time before we can finally break it, case in point $25k, yeah we did breach it several times already but we even didn't maintain that price for even in a 1 hour timeframe as speculators keeps on selling at that price for obvious reasons of making profits. However, it's not that strong because in the last couple of days, we again reach that price and then we maintain it for good or at least at this rally. So it means the resistance is now the support line that we are holding. $27k and it will as well be as interesting as the week will start in the next 24 hours (at least Asian Time), and we might see some push to $28k. So let's see if this is going to happen or we might have to go back and retrace. |

Some people will rush to sell at every slight increase. A friend was telling me I want to sell, even though my money is not complete and I ask him of what profit has achieved investing in the first place? Investment is a like a future you keep hoping for the better.
Keep holding but he's eager to sell and relax his head from worries that is money has gone into extinction, lol. Increase you're having same such mentality, kindy advise!
Hold on and keep holding.
Time is coming when you will be excited about it.
I would agree that it's better to HODL, but if you need to sell because you need the money to settle some bills or other important matter then why not? And I guess no one will blame you for doing that, it's your money anyways so you can do whatever you want. But there might come a time when you become mature that you are going to hold and continue to increase your bitcoin no matter what. Maybe you will have that extra money in your pockets besides your bitcoin investment, or you have some other means. And if we are talking about the current market situation, this is still a good chance to invest, in my opinion. |

Though I am not too certain about this but something in me keeps telling this could be the results of which bitcoin price is increasing dramatically without even looking at all this event around the corner. I do sense most of the investors or customer have made a Uturn by investing and putting their resources into cryptocurrency again since they have less confident with bank, maybe they don't want any collapse anymore whereby channelling their investment to bitcoin, if this is actually true then I smell to see bitcoin at $35k within 15 to 25 days interval imo.
Most likely this could be the main reason, as investors are running away from banks right now because of the uncertainty, problem majority of them have problems with their liquidity and it takes the government to bail them out. And with that, investors or even just average joe who have money in the bank might have been withdrawing it because they are afraid that they can't get their money on time and this banks are going to collapse. They are not looking for alternatives to put their wealth 1:1 or even make money thru bitcoin. So it's strong enough reasons for us to see buying pressures in the market for the last 3 days or so. |

On the other hand, Donaire might be taking his training as hard as the last time. We all know that he was knockout by Inoue, but still though, this is another opportunity for him to remain as champion, so everything should be perfect for him come fight night.
I'm sure that experience taught him a lot of lessons, that he has to be well-prepared, as it looks like he lacked the stamina at that time. It was a very easy win for Inoue, who asked for a rematch to avenge his loss in their first game. Well, this opponent is not as good as Inoue, but he still needs to be 100% and must not be careless. I think it's not the question of stamina, but his strategy, he chooses to go toe to toe against the best in that division and has more power. So he bet that if he could just land one good left hook of his, Inoue might doubt himself on that fight. But Inoue is as good as anyone though he was, because he fight toe to toe and doesn't matter what the outcome will be as he believed in his power. And Donaire didn't even land a good punch because Inoue is very quick and has a good chin too. Well maybe here, it will be a different strategy for him, maybe he will test Santiago and once he read him, he might go for a win or become aggressive in the middle rounds. |

I'll try to predict the matches tomorrow, I'll do a parlay bet today. Magic vs Clippers; I'll choose Clippers over Magic because recently they have good run and they really upper hand in this match. The odds is just 1.32 so it is a safe bet for me. For my next bet between a matchup of 76ers and Indiana Pacers. Pacers is the underdog what I want a safe bet so I'll 76ers with 1.36 odds. Harden and Embid have good offensive rating recently and I think they have a current winning streak. My 3rd parlay bet will be the matchup between boston and utah jazz, Jazz is not doing good in these past games so I'll pick boston for a safe bet again. And for my last bet is the hot matchup between GSW and Grizzlies. We know that there is a current beef in this 2 teams so I really looking forward to this match. I'll bet in Grizzlies for tomorrow with 1.79 odds and they are the favorite ones between the matchup. My total odds are 5.13x and I'll bet $20. If I win then I can get $102.3.  I lost with my 4 bet parlay. 2 wins and 2 losses. Magic defeated the clippers with 5 points while the Utah defeat the bostin with only 1 point. I embraced the risks so I have no emotional discomfort to the $20 that I lost in the parlay bet. I'll do a parlay bet again for tomorrow, these are my picks for tomorrow's parlay; I'll pick Suns over OKC even though Kevin Durant is injured. Actually according to odds, the OKC are the favorite in this matchup but I still think Suns can win. My next bet is between the Toronto and Bucks, I'll pick Bucks because it is a safe bet even though the odds is jut 1.21. There is still chance that Toronto can beat the bucks but that chance is low especially if Giannis will play. My last bet will be the matchup between LAL and Magic, It is a important game for lakers so I'll bet for lakers and for sure there is a high chance that they will beat them. They are also the favorite team in this matchup with 1.43 odds. My total odds for this bet parlay is 3.40 x. Goods odds for me. True, but I admire those who took risk and putting a parlay bets, however, I just bet on the Sacramento Kings and didn't to any parlay for this tonight's game. I would have to bet on the Raptors though, but I'm not sure why I didn't bet at all. Early games tomorrow for my timezone, but will post my bet later. There are games that's really worth to gambler for a parlays. |

Good news for fans of "No Mercy" Gesta, he won against Jojo Diaz, judges score the fight in his favor, Alejandro Rochin (99-91) and Pat Russell (98-92), while the other judges, hehehe, maybe he is watching other fight because the score is somewhat questionable, Judge Pam Hayashida (97-93).
I just wonder though if Ryan Garcia fought Gesta, maybe there could be upsets as well, hehehe.
In any case, good for Gesta, his career can move on and most likely fight for another day. While for Diaz, no longer the hype on his name, probably this weight for his is too much, maybe it's better to go down to 130 lbs.

And if you we are going to look at it though, everything is life is a gamble, because we really don't know what will be the outcome of our decisions that can really affect us for good or bad. And now with the advent of technologies, gambling are now more accessible, again, perhaps this is due to the pandemic that most of us are at home and nothing to do, and for those who are really into gambling, then yeah, play in our phone and laptop and continue with it. And to some extend every sports that we love, football, soccer and basketball, sports that we love and so we beat on the outcome of it. Just shows that gambling is really universal and we all know that it will be part of human history, no matter what we say or the bad effects it can bring to the society.

As per Inoue: “My next goal is to move up in weight and once again become world champion,” Inoue noted of his upcoming pound-for-pound showdown with the unbeaten Philadelphia native. “I’m sure it will be the biggest challenge for me so far, since I will have to deal with issues related to my own physical frame.” https://www.boxingscene.com/inoue-my-next-goal-again-become-world-champ-im-sure-it-biggest-challenge-me--173180So he is taking this fight very serious and think that this is the biggest challenge for him. Because this is the first time that he will go up in weight and will be against the champion in Fulton. Good to hear that he is still down to earth and never talk trash his opponents and even doubting if he can deal with the moving up in weight at 122 lbs. Because we are all saying that not much of a different in weight and it could really benefit him as he don't need to weight drain. But he is questioning himself. Nevertheless, his power though, might be enough to stop Fulton later in the fight. |

<<<snip>>> so that they didn't knock down easier.
I've seen Ryan Garcia getting knocked down, but he came back strong and beat his opponent. However, I haven't seen the same from Tank Davis in his previous fights. That's why people are thinking that Tank Davis might hurt Ryan Garcia and he won't be able to stand up. But I see it differently; it convinces me of how strong Ryan Garcia's chin is. Yeah, it's really a good show by Garcia when he was able to get back from the canvass and beat Luke Campbell with a body shot. So he has been tested and pass it although we can't compare the power of Luke and Tank. What if Tank hit Garcia with the same left hook, maybe he will won't get up or maybe he will, we will have to see in this fight. With Ryan Garcia having the reach and height advantage, he should use it effectively to have the edge over a very smart fighter and KO artist. I'm pretty sure they are practicing their respective strategies to score a knockout. There's no way this fight will reach the judges' scorecards.
If he will know how to used that advantage then good for Ryan, but as Davis said, he is used to fighting bigger guys so again, gonna be interesting how the fight will go with Ryan using his height and reach and then Tank, contend with countering and looking for that one big shot that might change the complexion of the game. And so far as far as betting goes, Davis is the favorite and so Ryan will really have to play smart and have a lot of aces in his sleeves. |

Some exaggeration though, I don't think that "banking system is about to end" - yeah they fall but there are the governments to bail them out. They are already institutions, part of the pillar of good government so I highly doubt that they are going to be obsolete. It's that the world is not looking for very, perhaps it was due to the leadership or we are still suffering from the effects of Covid as the economy continue to worsen and that's why there are banks that are closing down. The thing though right now is that we have an alternative like in Bitcoin can we can really used right now as they are a hedge. Maybe we could be the winner at the end. But we will have to wait for the bull run to happen next year as how far the price will go with all the negative things that is happening around the globe, specially the failure of the banks. $100k or $1 million? it's anyone guess.

I think there is one important factor as well,
- government are going to force it's population to used their CBCD's. What I mean is that if you wanted to transact specially in government offices, then before you can do that, you should have CBCD in your hand before you can proceed with them. And so it's obvious, all the benefits is going to the government itself and not to the population with this whole CBCD thingy. And when we thought it's crypto, it's not, it's their digit that they just made it digital so that they can go paperless and there are no benefits whatsoever, in my opinion.

And they are still hyping this fight even if it is just a week away from it: https://twitter.com/BOXINGFOTY/status/1636899331344330752This is a supposedly video of Caleb Plant getting kicked out of a boxing gym in Las Vegas for not paying his gym fees. Not sure if this is real or what or just a promotional stunt for this upcoming fight. How can a professional boxer not pay for a gym? or maybe he has his own gym as well. And it was said the Benavidez Sr is the one who posted this video and this is not recent. And with this, they are not trending in Twitter hehehe. What do you guys think of it? |

Maybe the OP is referring to fraudulent business practices in the background, hence it's called dark secrets. This business owners deals with a lot of money, billions so most likely there could be some, like bribing and stuff like that. And by his example, it's the typical capitalist businessman, as he is prying and taking everything from the poor people.
This could be analogous though to casino operators as they have the house edge, so they are going to win at the end of night, by hook or by crook. But I don't think it's secret though, it's up in the open and we all know that casino is a booming business because of us gamblers. There could be secrets but it's all on the movies only I guess as there are no proof of casino owners going to the extremes.

It is absolutely crazy to me that half the people in this thread voted for Thurman to beat Spence.
This is going to be one of the biggest mismatches we've seen.
Thurman can't take body shots, he hates fighting at a fast pace and I don't think he can fight in the pocket particularly well.
I have researched this fight extensively and I can't see one way that Thurman beats Spence.
I think Spence stops Thurman in the 9th round.
You have to understand that some of the votes came from "personal reasons" disregarding the technical analysis. It's not even crazy to think of since you can't blame people to ignore how strong Spence is knowing he's a big disappointment for some boxing enthusiasts for not having the courage to even push for the much-expected fight against Terence Crawford. Moving forward though, I want to see the aftermath of this fight regardless of who will win. Lots of "what if" scenarios here that are worth to wait. Exactly mate, the votes made in this thread are not really because they favored Thurman and they believed that he is much stronger and skillful inside the ring. I mean, we probably know the answer about that but I'm one of those users who voted Thurman because of my personal hate towards Spence. Not just because he ducked the possible unification fight but also because they influenced the WBC to sanction the fight at 154 where it was supposed to happen at 147 as that's where Spence's belt is. And same here, I just want to make this fight happen as soon as possible so that we will know what will be Spence's next step and Thurman as well as both boxers have nothing to lose here. No risks involved except adding either win or lose to their records. It's important though for Spence to continue and win so that he won't have any blemished in his records. While Thurman already suffered a lost, but happy to be in the position to pull an upset if he can pull an upset. Yes, it's true there are a scenarios that could play in the future like 1. Spence vacating his belt and move to 154 lbs and chase Charlo if he wins here 2. By chance Spence lost this fight and maybe go for a rematch 3. Spence losing but go back to 147 lbs to defend his belt 4. Thurman retired for good if he lost badly as he doesn't have the fire inside 5. Thurman winning and rematch Spence but this time at 147 lbs with all the belts on the line 6. Thurman winning and move to 154 lbs for good |

There is that popular provers which say, A drop of water can make an ocean. yes I believe is true because I gradually accumulated some SATs and now have move from being Satoshi owner to Bitcoin holder. I want to encourage my fellow newbie that you should also give your Satoshi full security because if scammers get a hold of your wallet, they are ready to always keep an eye on the wallet untill the day it will contain a huge asset. Don't wait until you own a lot of Bitcoin before you can take security seriously.
I don't think that anyone is belittle sats though, I mean it could be the smallest unit, yeah, but that's where everyone starts. I guess if you explore this community, there are a lot of tips and tricks on how to protect our assets. And just remember, "not your keys not your coins adage". So yes, security is very important even if you are just a newbie or even a experience bitcoin holder. Because we never know when we are going to be scammed for fall for scammers trick. Just keep on stacking sats. |

Yes, 40% is indeed high and this is why he should really be that still careful or wouldn't really be that confident even he knows that he's on edge on knockout percentage
which is sitting around KOs 57.14% based up on stats which means that when it comes to power he has the edge but the difference isnt that too far gapped.
This is why its really that foolish if you do presume out that you would really be taking this fight lightly.
What are you even talking guys? Don't just look at the percentage but also refer to the opponent they faced in their career. 40% is a big number, let's say yes, but can we even look at those boxers that are being KO'ed by Santiago as a considered threat? Different from Donaire, some of the boxer he KO'ed was popular in the Bantamweight and some are even title holders. True, that could be the contention here, even the great Julio Cezar Chavez Jr has fought a lot of "tomato can" fighters to swell his record and even defended his title like that. So it's really the quality of fighters that they have face before, not how many of them they knockout in their career because they could have fought boxers that are not expecting to win or at least not on their levels. Bad comparison to look at their knockout ratio, specially that Donaire has face tougher opponents in the past. While majority here doesn't heard of Santiago before and is rank way below. |

bitcoin was born out of the financial crisis, we could even say it was created because of it so that people have a sanctuary they can flee to.
when we look at the charts we can see that during the time the banking mess has been going on and as they kept collapsing, bitcoin price keeps on rising. in fact it broke a major resistance at $25k which it couldn't break before thanks to the banks collapses.
i believe the more banks fail, the more bitcoin price is going to shoot up.
this year we could see much worse financial crisis and a much bigger bitcoin price rise in one of the biggest FOMOs that bitcoin has seen so far.
The problem is Bitcoin's price (in recent years) was strongly correlated with traditional stock markets, and Bitcoin reached its ath in a very low-interest environment. It's way too soon to be opening a bottle of champagne to celebrate success, as it is yet to prove that the correlation has been broken and Bitcoin's price is independent of other markets. Also, the recession hasn't even started yet. I think the good measurement stick is how big the next bull run will be, we have seen predictions like $180k++ in 2024-2025. So yeah, it might be early to say or to celebrated, but if FEDS are going to continue to bail out banks in the next year, then maybe we will see a massive bull run after the bitcoin block halving. And we have like 2 banks in US and then 1 in Europe at this point. Regardless how many of them are going to fall though, Bitcoin is going to be the real winner because that's how it was born by Satoshi. We've already seen a swing in prices, $27k right now, and maybe $28k will be the next goal, for March alone. Not saying that we are in a bull run already, but with what is happening globally, investors might be running to bitcoin to hedge. |

Well, that 4 game losing streak by the Nuggets really affected Jokic's MVP race. On the other hand, Embiid deserves it as well as he is performing very well in their last games. It will be a close duel between these 2 Centers on who will be the MVP now that we only have few games left on the regular season. I'd want to see Jokic making history though as the 4th NBA player in history to have 3 consecutive MVP titles.  If we compare the individual stats of these two players, we can see that they both perform at their best on the court. Embiid averages more points per game, and he's clearly a good scorer, while Jokic is a more universal center as he grabs more rebounds and has more assists per game. In fact, both are equally deserving of the award, although I'd rather see Embiid as the MVP of this season. Scoring wise it's Joel as he is the league leader, they are almost the same as far as rebounds goes, with 10 a piece, but what separates Jokic is of course, his skills to pass the ball. Same here I wanted Joel Embiid to win the MVP for this season, he is doing everything for his team, last year, he just got injured but a healthy Joel? Philly will have a good chance for the title. Although it's tough as there are a lot of teams in the East that is also capable, like Giannis Milwaukee and last year runner up the Boston Celtics. Good and close game between the Clippers and the Magic right now. |
