Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread

Dana White just dropped the UFC 320 stack. This event will be in October 4, in Las Vegas, in T-mobile arena. This is a very jacked card.

Main Event
  • Ankalaev VS Pereira

Co-Main Event
  • Dvalishvili VS Sandhagen

Next Badass Fight
  • Jiri Prochazka vs. Khalil Rountree

UFC 320 will really be an amazing card but it will be even more badass if Pereira knocks out Ankalaev. I'm sure that Jiri's fight will end with knock out and Dvalishvili is always interesting for me. The improvement I saw in this fighter in last match, it was amazing, can't wait to see his upcoming fight.

And another question, why does Merab always fight in Las Vegas his recent fights? I don't remember him fighting somewhere else recently.

If he doesn't accept the contract with Al Ahli he won't be offered a mega contract again because he's 38 he'll retire soon. If he wants money he'll go to SPL. If his contract with Inter Miami's over in Dec will he go to Argentina or Spain to finish his pro career ?
No, he won't go to Argentina or Spain to finish his career. He wanted that in the beginning of his career but I guess, he doesn't want that now and I also think he won't live in Argentina, it's not a very good country after all compared to Spain and the USA. The reason why he doesn't want to live in Spain is because he wants to enjoy a more peaceful life. Football isn't as popular in the USA as it is in Europe and they even call it a soccer and football is a different sport there. Messi moved in Miami because he will enjoy a peaceful life there and Miami is full of Spanish speaking people, there are lots of Latinos there, it's also similar to Spain in some terms, it's warm, there are beaches, I bet he feels like at home. He has said that his family adapted well.

Re: How do i cash out old bitcoin legally without getting destroyed by taxes?

OP, if you have nobody in another country, then moving is scary because if you talk about your cryptos, there is a high chance that everyone will try to scam you or rob you and if you move but don't talk, keep in mind that you might face some problems in the streets and this is the moment when you'll be in trouble. I don't say it's guaranteed to happen to you but you have to be ready for everything and think twice whether it worth to get away from taxes or not.
Also, are you in a hurry to sell all of your Bitcoins at once? If you are not in a hurry, then you already have got some good advice, use ATMs or P2P exchanges or even in the best case, sell your Bitcoins to your friend if they are interested in buying. That's what I did once when I wanted to sell 3K Bitcoins, I sold them to my friend like nothing happened. He wanted to buy Bitcoins, I wanted to sell to buy a Camera and lens.

Inflation truly is a silent killer of our money and that's why we have to invest them in assets like Bitcoin. Otherwise, someone who just saves their money in the bank needs to understand this.



Take note it's just from 2021 and it's even more today on 2025 for bitcoin and lesser for the fiat money.

While cash is king as they say, we have to allocate still somehow on it but I'd rather be cash broke but have got a lot of assets and more Bitcoin holdings instead.
That's a really beautiful image but I wouldn't build my hopes on Bitcoin being that deflationary in the future. Sure, it's going to be one of the greatest asset for decades but what I want to say is that people shouldn't expect huge ROIs like we saw in previous years. Just compare the market cap of 2015 to 2025, there is a tremendous difference and that will tell everybody why Bitcoin was worth $300 back then and why it worth 120K today.
Will we ever have another chance to get rich easily? Similar chances have always been popping up, so I really wonder, what's next? AI is not an easy thing, it's a very saturated market that also requires a huge experience and brain.

Just another day dunking his face in cucumber water while sunbathing off the coast of Italy. Cool

Then two days ago had an interview where he discusses about his return to the UFC for their debut at the White House card that was announced by Dana White to happen on July 4th next year:

That's still okay. Did anyone watch how Conor McGregor represented Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship? The guy doesn't even hide that he is on coke, he is on it everywhere he goes. Just look at this video: https://www.tiktok.com/@speedshowclps/video/7525690440759119134
Isn't it too much? The guy doesn't even slightly hide. Look at this video, you can feel how high his heart beat is and how much energy he feels from coke.

I bet he regularly has very high heartbeat and dangerously high blood pressure. Doesn't matter how much money you have, this condition damages things that no money can repair. Maybe he can escape heart attack with his money but high blood pressure also damages vessels in the brain, which can't be repaired, doesn't matter how much money you have, no surgeon can do that today. I'm afraid that he will die young, with heart attack, clot or stroke. Rest in piece, Conor McGregor.

Re: UK government fools will sell the bitcoin

In the fucking shithole that the UK has become in the last decade, with progressive impoverishment of society, massive immigration, a two-tier justice system or expulsion of talent and wealth, we only needed the icing on the cake.

The UK Home Office is preparing to sell a massive stockpile of bitcoin seized from criminals, potentially netting the Treasury billions to address budget pressures, The Telegraph reported this weekend.

As if £7 billion is going to solve anything within a deficit of £164 billion. Let's see if it becomes a third world country for once, since they are working so hard for it.
This happens when they accept migrants that mostly create problems. The whole system is terrible, there are people who really want to come to work for a better future but now, the door for such people is closed but for those, who have no education, no ethics, no good behaviors, they are not only welcomed but they are provided free houses, free food, free money, they also get a very good treatment when they ruin someone's life or steal something. Liberalism is good but in a different society, you shouldn't expect that to work in a society that's 900 years behind.

Now, let's return to the topic. It's funny when other governments are creating Bitcoin strategic reserves and meanwhile, UK tries to sell everything it has Cheesy

The money they've offered Messi can convince him to leave Inter Miami for SPL but he doesn't want to play in a league which Cristiano Ronaldo's the main player. Messi's the main player in MLS & Cristiano's the main player in SPL he doesn't want it to change.
I don't think that that is the reason and money is not everything. Messi's priority is to settle in a good environment with his family. Which is a better option, the United States or Saudi Arabia for rich people? It's hard to answer this question because everyone has different priorities. I would live in the USA because it's very rich, you can go in any state you wish and Miami has also been my childhood favorite place (Do you remember good old GTA Vice City?). I think that Messi prefers Miami for himself and for his family. I remember that he said this in one of his interview soon after winning World Cup.

Max Holloway defeated Dustin Poirier to win the match. His signature spot-on, crease-and-go moment in the final 10 seconds was particularly impressive.
Signature spot-on? Is that a correct way to describe what he does? I'm simply asking out of interest. Anyways, I like this thing, it makes fight very exiting but it was a little funny when Topuria offered him the same thing but he immediately said no to that. Was he afraid of Topuria? I really wonder that but there might be a rematch between Topuria and Holloway for BMF and that will be very amazing!

All I can think about is the White House card. I wonder who will be on it. Will it have all Americans or will it be Americans vs the world… Maybe it won’t have any “American” angle. Will we see McGregor? I doubt it. Dana also said he wouldn’t put Jones on there because he’s unreliable. Who do you think will be on it?
Nate Diaz also wants to fight for the White House card. Dana White loves both, Nate and Connor, so we will most likely see Nate VS Connor on the white house card but he also said that this card will be in 1 year, so it's too early to think about, so at the moment, there are no plans from Dana because he doesn't know who will be a champion in the next few months.

Re: The Harsh Truth: Losing Your Keys Means Losing It All Are You Ready?
by
Synchronice
on 22/07/2025, 13:14:51 UTC
One of the greatest strengths of Bitcoin is that it allows individuals to take full custody of their wealth, no intermediaries, no gatekeepers, and no need for permission. But with that freedom comes absolute responsibility.

If you lose access to your private keys or recovery phrase, there is no support line to call, no way to reverse the loss. Your assets become permanently inaccessible, no matter how much they’re worth or how long you’ve held them. It’s a harsh reality. Many people in this space still underestimate   until it’s too late.

As adoption grows, it’s crucial that we begin to talk more seriously about secure key management, inheritance planning, and realistic recovery strategies. Writing your seed phrase on a piece of paper and hiding it under your bed may not be enough. Trusting a single individual might also be risky. And for those with significant holdings, not having a plan in place could mean their family loses everything if something unexpected happens.

So I’d like to ask the community how you have personally prepared for the possibility of loss? Do you have an inheritance plan? Have you implemented multisig or other secure fallback systems?

These are uncomfortable conversations, but they’re necessary  because Bitcoin won’t forgive a mistake, even if life does.
That's what I really love about Bitcoin, it doesn't forgive. There is no number that you can call to help you to solve your mistake, that's what makes Bitcoin unique from others.
My approach to Bitcoin is quite different. I memorized my seed phrases and that's how I live now Cheesy Before being completely dependent on my seeds, I had kept them wrote on a paper wallet and in a few months, I got confident enough to destroy the paper and depend on my memory. Now, once in a while, I enter seed phrases on an airgapped computer and that's it.
To be honest, I don't have no plan if something happens to me, how to give my coins to my family members. I hope nothing bad happens to me.

^ I agree on that take: OP should clarify what exactly bothers him the most.
in terms of its speed and fees. Will there be any issues
Speed? In what sense? On average, it takes 10 minute to mine one block and whether we have trillions of transactions or a few transactions, nothing changes in terms of speed but in terms of fees, everything changes if we don't increase the block size and keep the current one as low as it is right now.
If Bitcoin becomes popular cryptocurrency for transactions, then there might be some changes but there should be strong reasons for that, sudden price pumps aren't enough to convince the community to change the block size.

I really wonder why he disappeared in 2014. He is a legend, he made a revolutionary transaction and it would be a honor for us to have a communication with him. If I were into his shoes, I would sometimes come here and post, just for the sake of nostalgia, I would at least visit Bitcointalk and post here in the last 10 years but anyways, I respect his decisions. I hope he is doing very well in life.
~snip~


He's not the only one who left the forum when it comes to "legends", there are very few members from that time active today. If you're looking for a reason why it's like that, I don't think you'll find it - because since I've been on the forum since 2015, dozens of somewhat prominent members have left the forum and never returned.
I really understand why they left Bitcointalk. When I registered here, 4 years ago, I was more young and I was thinking differently. Now things have changed and I have more responsibilities and different priorities but in the near future, I'll still be on this forum because I enjoy being here a lot but in the next 10 years, I'm sure that I won't be here, there is no way of it but this doesn't mean that I'll completely abandon this forum. Once in a while, I'll login here, check some threads, publish some posts, reply to some users. What I don't understand is, why do some of them completely disappear like they have never been part of Bitcointalk and this website has never existed.

Re: How can you enjoy the game when you are losing?
by
Synchronice
on 21/07/2025, 10:47:37 UTC
Many users claim that they play for fun. At the same time, they do not hide the fact that all the money is lost one way or another, quickly or slowly. If you are losing money, then how can you enjoy it? I could never understand this. I would understand if a person said that now I am losing, but during the game I am learning and developing a strategy and a game system, and also testing this system during the game. In other words, you can play for research purposes and, losing money, enjoy the anticipation of future wins, since you have a promising strategy and a good consistent game system. But people generally do not play for research purposes. People just place bets more or less randomly, lose money and claim that they enjoy it. Is this stupidity or deceit? Maybe such people like the atmosphere of the game? But then why not play free games? But no, gamblers rarely play free games?
Why? The answer is paradoxical - because you can't lose money there, lol! And after that you say that gamblers are reasonable people.
No one enjoys the loss but for some it doesn't matter, for some it's part of the activity and then there are those who don't really enjoy the gambling and gamble for potentially earning money, which doesn't go the way they want.

I'll tell you my example. I sometimes play poker and sometimes I lose money but I still enjoy the game and I'll explain why. I can play Poker for free but I face more exciting opponents when I play for money. Also, when I play with money, I have something to lose, so this changes my mentality during gambling and I'm more focused and take it more seriously. In the end, I get a reward if I play well too, so the risk is worth for me.

We don't need bookmakers to share their internal stats publicly to know that their businesses get profit for maintaining their operations a long time. If they have very low margin of business profit or only get net loss, their businesses would have been death and their services would have been closed already.
Of course we don't need it but it would be interesting. I love statistics. It's also clear that this business makes money, no doubt about that.


I was super busy late yesterday, so I forgot to place a bet (thankfully) but that bad thing is that I forgot to catch and share such a great moment from Chips. Chips decided to tip those who would predict the outcome of the fight (who wins and in which round).

i am aware we all have different strategies and goals for our investments but i am sure that a lot of us are planning to hold bitcoin for the long term and it got me thinking what ways could we do to prevent us from being tempted to sell our bitcoins and spend it on unnecessary things

one way is writing off your bitcoins as not yours. that money is not yours to spend. just forget about it. the more you look at it, the more you will just want to sell it especially when you see the value of bitcoin.

do you also do this and does it really work for you?
I think that if someone doesn't have that much willpower and discipline to not touch Bitcoins that he/she intended for storing long-term, then the first thing that these people have to do is to work on it because it will help them in life and boost them in every way.
Anyways, there is one option for those who don't have high self-control. You can use timelock in this case. Timelock allows you to create a Bitcoin transaction in a way that the recipient of the output won't be able to spend them for a specific time. If you choose 5 years, you wont' be able to spend them for 5 years, doesn't matter how much you want it, so, it's a nice deal in this situation.

Long story short, as soon as he starts weight cutting, his body looses all imminity and he catches all pokemons viruses.
Weight cut is a huge stress for the body. I've done weight cuts, your testosterone levels drop a lot (mine doesn't drop much because I have higher than normal levels), your energy levels decrease, your body is weak, you feel dizzy and lightheaded. When I did a cut, every second I felt like I was about to pass out and it amazes me when Connor was doing extreme weight cuts and still had the motivation and energy to do crazy things during weigh ins.

When american football teams travel on the road some hire strippers, groupies and prostitutes to entertain them in their hotel rooms.
European footballers do the same too, every rich athlete does that because that's cool, fun and everyone enjoys it Cheesy


I wonder why no one posted anything about UFC 318 event. Holloway VS Poirier was an amazing fight. Sadly, Dustin lost the fight and retired, wish he would retire after win but it is what it is, he will always stay as a legend in our heart. It was beautiful to watch his fights, I'll miss him, I wanted it so badly to see him versus Topuria but  that's sadly not going to happen.

For a person with an average income, it's very hard to secure finances in such an inflationary economics and many things also depend on where the person lives. Since I'm in EU, I'll speak from my reality. One of the biggest benefit for someone living in rich EU country like Germany, is that you don't have to worry about unemployment, health and accidental car crashes or other accidental problems because your insurance will cover it. This is a huge benefit because when you don't worry about these, then you can save the rest of your salary and invest in Bitcoin, Gold, Stocks and in whatever you want. The problem with EU is that the more you earn, the more taxes you pay.

One of the best side of the USA is that you pay less taxes and salaries are also very high but the biggest negative side is that if you get health problem, you are in a huge debt unless you work in a good company and have a great insurance paid by the employee.

3. Michael Jackson was called King of Pop and unfortunately passed away in 2009. His songs remain to be culturally relevant however at the time of his passing he passed away with around 500 million dollars of debt. Due to this, many of his assets were sold to pay for his debts.

The lesson I got from looking at all these influential people is you can be exceptional in your field but if you do not know how to manage your money you might just die penniless. I personally do not want to pass away after suffering from poverty. I want my last days to be spent in bliss.

There are other people in the list but I only chose three.
Very interesting info, I didn't know this but Michael Jackson was rich in any way. By the way, I did some research and as I understood, he had a huge cash debt but his assets had a huge value in US dollars. Anyways, it's a mistake to say that he died rich. Just only think about the $500 million debt. If I had the ability to have that much debt, I'd take that without blinking an eye.
Debt is not bad and it doesn't make you poor. Countries and many big corporations have huge debts and there is a logic behind it but it will just take me a lot of time to explain. I might create a new thread and talk about it there because debt is a very interesting thing and too many people think that debt is bad, it is not, it depends on how you use the debt.


I want to mention another famous person who died poor and his name is Nikola Tesla. This man could be a billionaire but he wasn't interested in business.

You see, change they is constant, imagine a man without ideas  criticizing a technology is has no knowledge about, bent on pulling it down at cost but failed.

Based on your thoughts, how will those who called bitcoin different things react on the current market situations. Your thoughts.
It's normal and accepted to be critical to Bitcoin, I think that we need a healthy critique instead of an unhealthy blindness, we should see the flaws in Bitcoin when it is there but the problem with many people is that they can't make correct analysis, correct judgement and they often say wrong predictions.
People have been skeptical about Bitcoin since the first day and it continues till this day despite the fact that the price went up from $0.01 to $100,000. You can't stop people from saying nonsense but given current market momentum and adoption, it's clear that Bitcoin is strongly positioned and will hit $150K this year, I believe in this, almost every statistics proves that it's gonna happen!

Re: Trump to approve crypto investment for Retirement Accounts
by

on 19/07/2025, 12:58:42 UTC
When we look at the world today, any bank account that has gotten to the stage of retirement is an account that has little to no idea on crypto currencies. It is announced that President Trump prepares to sign an executive order to allow retirement accounts to take part in investing into cryptocurrencies. These accounts are said to be about 401k accounts, going beyond the traditional investment of stocks like gold and its likes.

If this order is signed, what will be its effect on the market?
Bitcoin is really becoming a digital gold. Cryptocurrencies, and especially Bitcoin, is one of the best performing asset to invest for retirement. Signing this executive order will have a positive impact on Bitcoin because it will allow people to hold Bitcoin for their retirement but the most important measurement on how it will affect the market is the fact of how many people will invest in Bitcoin. It's one thing when you allow something and it's another thing when people actively start using it. To be honest, old people, who think about retirement, aren't too tech-savvy, so I do not expect huge number of Bitcoins to be acquired but long-term, when the middle-aged generation starts preparing for retirement, I'm sure that lots of them will heavily invest in Bitcoin and it will positively affect the market. The market is already too good for Bitcoin.

Anyway, who do you guys have on the main event this weekend?  Not really sure why Poirier is the slight underdog here.  I think he should be around 1.70 favorite...  1.60 even. 

I think the reason Poirier is an underdog is because he often talk or people associate him with retiring from MMA sport. After his loss to Khabib (and that was sooo long ago) he has already started to doubt if he should continue. Then after every single loss he is like I dont know if I want to do this more. I feel like he has low motivation to fight or to earn through fighting. Also that BMF title is nothing to give all of yourself in the octagon Cheesy
I'm so sorry for Dustin Poirier. He is a very good boxer and one of the best UFC fighter to never become the undisputed UFC Champion. This man deserved to hold that belt, it's a shame that he leaves the game without it. I really wish that he won't retire if he beats Max Holloway to then get a title fight against Ilia Topuria. I'm not confident that he will win against Topuria but I'm sure that it will be one of the most amazing UFC fight.
Dustin is really the uncrowned champion! To my mind, he was a little bit unlucky.
