Re: [POLL] HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING: USYK vs PARKER
by
TravelMug
on 26/07/2025, 00:24:22 UTC

We can't be too sure about this till the fight happens only then can we find out if Joseph parker can beat Usyk or not. Am a big supporter of Usyk, but I also understand that Usyk cannot be champion forever. At some point he's going to lose unless he retire before then. Joseph parker has been winning his recent matches same as Usyk so you can't completely write off Parker. Parker is also showing some similarities that Usyk was showing back then when he was rising to stardom. Usyk Vs Parker would have been more interesting than what we saw against Dubios.

I voted for Usyk to beat Parker. We've seen Usyk's speed against Dubois and so even if in paper it looks like Parker might have a good chance, it might be another easy fight for Usyk here. And if he beat's Parker, then he swept this division for good. Parker's previous opponent doesn't have the boxing IQ of Usyk. They all have the mentality to brawl and uses their power but Parker is too smart with that. However, with Usyk style of a southpaw and being slick, it's going to be very hard for Parker to just play defense early and then wait for his opponent to get's tired. And so if he goes early and fight toe to toe with Usyk, he might end up like Dubois and gets knockout by Usyk.
Like I said before, am a big supporter of Usyk and I love everything he represents, his style of fighting and what he has accomplished so far in this industry. But what am just saying is that Parker shouldn't be written off until he gets the opportunity to show us what he got. I remember when Anthony Joshua was so hot and he was winning almost everything that came his way. When the chance of him fighting Usyk came, lots of people wrote off Usyk, he was considered underdog but at the end of the day, Usyk defeated him and since then he has been conquering everyone from then till this day. What if something like this happens with parker? Or don't you think that Usyk will lose a fight some day? As long as it is a competitive match I won't write anyone off, they both have the chances of winning, and if this fight is to happen, and with what Parker is doing, I will stay neutral.

Fair enough, although going into the Usyk fight, Joshua already lost his invincibility when Andy Ruiz beats him. Yeah, he successfully defeat Ruiz in the rematch and then Pulev, but it was the first time that we have seen Joshua being broken already. And going into the Usyk fight, he was the favorite, however, he hasn't face the likes of Usyk before, like very fast and slick as we can say. And again, Usyk is more of a thinking fighter, good IQ that Joshua didn't have and as we all know that style makes fight. So I guess Usyk should be intelligent enough not to fall for that kind of underestimating his emotions. But if there is a chance that Parker can beat him? Absolutely, in this sports just one punch will change the complexion of the fight.

I am not familiar with Joseph Parker, but it looks like he did great in his last three fights. But despite that, I don't think he'll be able to beat Usyk. In Usyk's rematch with Dubois this July 19, he showed how dominant he can be in his fight. I have no doubt Usyk will outbox Joseph if they fought.

Re: No Amount is Affordable in Gambling

What's your position on this thought?

It might meant that you should only gamble the money that you can afford to lose. And it's not about the stake or how much money you can win. Of course, we want to win big, but if you talk about that saying it's all about the money that you can spend. So let's say in a given night, you have "extra" money like $100.00. So you only gamble with that money, nothing more, nothing less. And then it depends on your game, maybe you are a slot player and maybe just bet $0.20 as a minimum and play as long as you can until your capital is busted. But in case that you win, then it's good for you. Maybe what other smart gamblers did, withdraw that initial capital that you have, so that will be $100.00. And then continue with the money that you win.

Re: Usyk - Dubois Rematch July 19 Undisputed Heavyweight, Wembley, London

on 25/07/2025, 03:11:39 UTC
So the big question is whether Usyk is interested in fighting Parker (Parker definitely is) or would he prefer to vacate the WBO belt and fight someone else.

I think Usyk would rather retire than take an easy fight against this mandatory challenger. Honestly, Fury is a much tougher opponent than Parker, and that’s who he’s facing next. Since Usyk has hinted at retirement before, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to hang up his gloves soon , there’s really no one left in the division who can truly challenge him.

Fury is much tougher opponent? Usyk already beat him twice and most likely the trilogy will be just the same result. Although I think this is going to happen as the money involved here is huge as compare to Usyk risking more on a opponent like Parker. So I doubt that he will retire after the Dubois fight, yes he is hinting on doing that, but a 3rd fight with Fury make sense money wise. And after winning, then maybe he would seriously considering hanging up the gloves for good and retire as the best Heavyweight of this era. Not sure how he will rank amongst the GOAT though. But my cleaning up the division and going up from Crusierweight, there's no denying that he could be up on the list because of his accomplishments.

Reading the news  of the alleged transfer of $50 millions worth of XRP by the ower signaling a take profits actions as the coin touched5it all time high recently, his actions point to lack of confidence and deliberately interference with the market movement of the coin, this another example of centralized coins and how the owners can interfer as the which.

Well what you do you expect? Bitcoin market has decoupled already from Altcoins, and so investors, developers or any involved in that market will have to take profit at some point in time because they know that they might not see a bull run for them. On the other hand, Bitcoin has proven itself in this current cycle already. Multiple ATH and then we are looking at around $150k-$180k in the last quarter of this year.

Such can never happen with bitcoin, since bitcoin creation, and the multiple all time high, Satoshi wallet have remained untouched and a deliberately liquidity provided by the bitcoin creator, being decentralised and with zero owner interference, if wyou want to hold any coin, just hold bitcoin.

We can only speculate, but for sure Satoshi disappearance and not surfacing really did good for us. And he might have seen this already that's why he chooses this path and not to touch his coin. As for not revealing his true identity? It remains a mystery.

Re: [Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19

Maybe after 5-6 months, he can box again after preparing for this potential fight or how long it should take for him to prepare and get on the fight again?
Yeah likely Pacman, will get another chance if not a rematch with Barios will definitely tie up to different boxer with more interesting. But for me, I think a rematch is good to see the chance of both. I feel that Barios hold back due to his respect to Manny. But whats interesting rematch is Pacman and Mayweather. Probably that one will be the most good match up.

In his prime Manny usually fights twice a year. But not sure if he can do this at this age though. I think he needs more rest before his next fight. There are a lot of boxers calling Manny right now, it's because they know that fighting Manny is like hitting the lottery. But we all know that we wants him and Floyd fight again for a rematch. Not that there is any excuse, but Manny's shoulder is not 100% during their first fight. But let's see what would be the decision, although we can see that he can still box and might still have the power. But it's the timing of the punch, however, he has been out of the ring for many years and probably that could also be attributed for ring rust. But hopefully, if ever he will fight again, I wanted to see him and Floyd for the biggest match again in history.

Re: Youtuber said best time to sell bitcoin is when altcoins rally? Is this true?
by
TravelMug
on 24/07/2025, 08:05:34 UTC
However if your target of holding BTC is for long term, these altcoin season things are just meaningless noise.
We know that holding Bitcoin for the long term has always been the best choice. The altcoin season is actually a good time for most of the altcoin holders to make profit and leverage their profit into accumulating more Bitcoin. I don't know how others are doing it but if they're not doing it then most likely they're just taking the cash and not going back to the market. Waiting for another opportunity to buy some of these alts and will wait if they pump again. The best time to sell Bitcoin is subjective to be honest.

Yes, but the thing with accumulating altcoin is that they might be late or have been in the game for 3 years and not seeing a good profit. As compare to Bitcoin, in which many of us are already in the positive as we have hit multiple all time high already. Nevertheless, a Youtuber? I wouldn't blindly trust anyone specially a social media influencer. There is a huge risk if you go and follow that advise to sell Bitcoin and then invest it on altcoin? Maybe for risk takers but you still have to remember that you really have to place safe and only invest on Bitcoin. Don't be carried away by a "potential" x100 or even higher being promise by social influencer to invest on altcoins. If you don't know what you are doing by those kind of leverage, then you are putting your money at a huge risk.

^^ Yes, it has a lot of capabilities, dangerous one like the keylogger and the images that we get. And we all know that they can also read those images, maybe we capture our private key or mnemonic phrase and keep it in our phone and when this criminals got a hold of it, then they can steal everything from us not just banking information. And another scary thing is that they are riding on a supposedly product from Microsoft. As we all know of, there are a lot of tools that Microsoft releases that many developers are using around the world. So if by chance our developers from Brazil might have used or their system infected by it, then again, we are in the mercy of this criminals.

I must say that this took a long time coming from a service that prioritize user privacy... but it's finally here. After an online petition with over 1000 signatures, the general manager (David peterson) has announced that XMR will be added to ProtonVPN before the end of the summer:

https://x.com/davidgpeterson/status/1941500514803548636

This does not include their other services (such as ProtonMail) given that it's another team handling it but it's a good start I would say.


Good, we have been hearing in a long time that one of the best known privacy service for us crypto is not accepting Monero. And I'm thinking that there are competitor like AirVPN who have been accepting Monero for a long time already, so it's just about the right time for ProtonVPN.

Would love to see ProtonMail as well to be include, and it's obvious that ProtonMail>Gmail.

Re: 2025 NBA Season

He’ll get the time if he’s good enough. A lot of times rookies bodies aren’t ready for the NBA grind. LeBron got plenty of playing time his rookie year… I suspect we’ll be seeing around 25-30 minutes a game from Cooper Flagg this year, but you never know. The fact he got shut down in preseason so early to work on his body full time sort of shows he has the skills, they just need to prepare him physically.
Well, it’s understandable, he’s only 18 years old. And although he’s the same age as LeBron was when he got drafted, LeBron was on a whole different level. He had the potential to become one of the greatest players in history right from the start. As for Flagg, let’s give him time to reach his potential. Everything is still new, and the hype hasn’t settled yet. But if he can become as good as Luka offensively before his rookie contract ends and if the Mavs stay healthy, that will definitely boost their chances in the Playoffs.

Right, but base on his performance in the summer league, it seems that he has a lot to improved. Although as top pick, he could be a target from other teams to guard him and shut him down. We even have seen videos of him and Bronny going at it and the young James was bodying on Cooper and so he just turn around and do that fade shot. But in the NBA is more of him going to be guarded by big man that he can't pushed in the beginning. So maybe gaining some weight so that he will have a leverage at least when he goes against these experience players. As for Lebron, his really one of those cases, that his body is built differently even in his rookie season. He carry the Cavs that time and taking over games.

di na bago yung pag gamit ng deepfake ng mga scammer(may mga deepfake scams na pinost sa scam accusation board dati) pero ang nakakabahala ay habang nag aadvance ang AI ay mas lalong hihirap ang pag recognize sa mga legitimate na video at deepfake. habang tumatagal mas lalo talagang magiging mahalaga ang "do your own research first" para pangotra sa mga mas kapanipaniwalang deepfake na ginagamit sa scam.

it's high time na mag push ng stronger cybersecurity awareness subject sa mga school at sa masa.

Hindi na sya bago, pero ngayon dahil sa advance na ang AI, ang hirap na talaga natin malaman kung AI or ginamitan ng deepfake talaga. Maalala ko meron din isang case na ganyan, na yung isang babae eh nasa meeting pero ang mga kasama pala nya sa facetime meeting eh mga deepfake at inutusan sya ng scammer na nag panggap na CEO na magwithdraw ng pera at ipadala dun sa account na binigay ng scammer. Wala naman syang kamalay malay na mga criminal at scammer pala tong mga kausap nya kaya ayun sumunod naman siya. Kaya talagang nakakatakot ngayon dahil nga sa sobrang advance na ng AI. At alam din natin na sa bawat technology na bago, may kaakibat din tong maganda at pangit na dulot nito.

Re: What is the cost of your mistakes?

So, how much did your mistakes cost? Did they cause you a serious psychological blow? What were your mistakes, did you learn from these mistakes and do you apply this knowledge in practice now? Were these mistakes simply painful, dramatic or catastrophic?

I think that is the obvious part, mistakes really cost us big, like when you already know who to bet to and suddenly you have a change of heart in the last minute. Then when the game is over, your supposedly original bet win. So that is one of the mistakes that I have learn in the beginning. Don't you ever change your bet, I have heard this lessons to many old gamblers around me, but at first I don't understand what they mean until I experienced it. Even in seldom sports betting that I used to bet like 10 years ago, horse racing, I have this habit to change my bet but it really cost me big money. And definitely, it was painful and sometimes it took me days to recover from that mental trauma that I felt.

Re: what can you do if your kyc-linked crypto wallet gets hacked?
by
TravelMug
on 22/07/2025, 09:15:47 UTC
Here in crypto, I don't know if there is some authorities that you can report that your wallet is stolen specially our KYC documents. That is the most important thing, because we all know that if the cyber criminals can get a hold of your personal info, they can used it at their disposal, or even sell it in the dark market.
When you submit kyc in any custodial service, it is that service that holds the kyc information and if anyone is going to lose it, it is the service and if they do, which they have on many occasions, it will be recorded that there was a data breach and the customers whose data has been exposed.

In my opinion, such people should be more worried about phishing attacks and also physical attacks, which are more common in cases like this, rather than getting arrested for a crime they didn't commit.

Of course, being a 3rd party service provider they will have to be very careful on how they handle this KYC documents. We've seen a lot of news already like the 2022 Celcius case,

https://cryptoslate.com/horrendous-kyc-risks-on-show-as-website-detailing-celsius-users-losses-goes-live/

And as far as data breaches goes, I have a similar experienced, way back even before the advent of Bitcoin. My data was stolen and I was surprised that I buy outside of my country and they uses my credit card, this is early 2000's so from that time, I'm really very careful of providing my personal information because of such experience and for sure I'm not just the only one that might like a bad dream or nightmare in incident like that.

My main concern is about why this kind of winning is not common and those that made it to winning this big don't even make use of a huge amount of money, instead gambles with lesser amount none could have expect to see it coming as a winning, well that is luck, he made it in and that is one of the benefits we stand to get in gambling, we can be able to win even at the least expectation, it has mostly been in this way and this will be the second kind of winning am seeing in this manner just of recent.
If such wins were common, then casinos wouldn't exit, or they would just be operating in losses most of the time. That's the thing about luck, you don't know when it will hit or who will be lucky. I am pretty sure he wanted such a win numerous times he played but didn't expect it.

Despite the small bet, that is a very impressive multiplier by all levels  Smiley

True, that's why we go and try our luck and I think some of us might have experienced it already, or at least there are games in our gambling history when we thought that we lost everything, then suddenly we came up big. Like maybe our last money, our last spin and then boom, bonus round and then the payout is huge. For sure everyone can relate on that kind of luck. But it's not that common as you said, odds are very small that we can even hit it or maybe duplicate that kind of feat. But I guess that's what gambling is, it's the unknown and then our human nature to take that risk and see the outcome of it.

I've never heard of TradeUp, and I hope your question isn't actually about promoting it.

Because TradeUp has so few reviews, don't risk trading there, even if the program seems appealing to you, as you could be the victim of a scam attempt.
If you are really looking for an exchange the names you mentioned besides TradeUp are sufficient for traders who really want to trade.

On the contrary, this is how the OP is silently promoting this site that we haven't heard before. Have you noticed that all the trading platforms that he mentions is well known to us this suddenly at the end he inserted this crypto exchange? That's already a red flag. So it's a way of catching the community, but nevertheless, those like you who have been in this forum for so many years already knows what the OP is doing. Specially a newbie like him, I forget though we have a lot of this cases that someone put a thread about it but it's been buried already.

I have seen one interview of a former gambler and what he is saying caught my attention. He says that "when you're winning you can't sleep". I'm not sure if others have experience it or if this make sense. In any case though, one explanation is that we are really in a heightened alert, meaning it's like gambling is like a drugs that keeps up alive and awake and then the human emotions of greed takes in as we want to win for. But the problem is that after that, and in worse case if our luck turns bad, then this drug will like shoot to 100->0 in a instant. Or like when we are about to go to bed and suddenly that inch comes along and let's say that we go on sports bet, but the game will start in the next couple of hours, then we might have difficulty in sleeping and as if we take like 4 cups of coffee or a energy drink because we will for sure can't wait to see that game and hope that our stakes is going to win.
