HRF allocated a total of 33 BTC, of which 1 BTC will go to Hal
I am curious when reading this and want to know how HRF distribute this prize. No surprise that they do a right thing by sending it (or planning to send it) to Hals' wife, Fran Finney, and it is also good to know the widow plans to donate it to a charity. Fran Finney, his widow, will accept the inaugural Finney Freedom Prize on Hal’s behalf and plans to donate the monetary prize of 1 bitcoin (BTC) to a yet-unnamed charity.
and given that the prize will be awarded every four years, there will also be prizes for the periods 2012-2016, 2016-2020 and 2020-2024.
It will be interesting who will receive the awards for the remaining three periods, and of course it will also be interesting what the members of the forum think about it.
Some names I can think of because they are important in Bitcoin history. - Laszlo Hanyecz with a classic trade: pizza for bitcoins ?
- Gavin Andresen: Early Bitcoin developers, took over the forum from Satoshi Nakamoto and talked about Bitcoin in front of CIA.
- theymos: built a first Bitcoin block explorer.
- bitboy: designed the Bitcoin logo which is used nowadays

yes correct, but do you think AI can move BTC or crypto forward by making it act as currencies? Just thinking about the future, auto payments etc.
You can use Bitcoin as a digital currency, a payment method, a store of value asset, and more. It has many use cases and you are free to pick any use case you want to use with Bitcoin. There are API, trading bots and AIs don't change too much in automatic trading with bots. From API bots, you can have AI trading bots with latest developments of AI but Bitcoin is here, with or without AI. It can have more use cases in future when adoption becomes better but with time, you will less likely see any actual game-changing use cases for Bitcoin. Like gold, now it is as it is, do you hope AI to change ways human use gold in society? Will AI increase or destroy value of gold? Answer is No for both questions. |

Southampton are going to Leicester City this week for a super important 3 points. Leicester have been leading at the top for a long time in Championship but losing a few games recently, suddenly now Southampton can smell a promotion position.
Playoff is of course the consolation prize but nothing is guaranteed there, just look at Coventry City who lost on penalties last time and last night in FA Cup!
Can Southampton join Newcastle again in Premier League? @notblox1 our expert, do you think this is possible?
Southampton is a club with very good academy and scout team. They successfully grew up many star players like Shearer, Walcott, Bale, Luke Shaw, van Dijk and some other players who were less famous like Lallana, Schneiderlin,Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Beattie. I am not fan of Leicester City and Southampton so I wish best for both of them but I have more impression with Leicester City with their magic season years ago. Southampton is in my mind but they did not create much impression like Leicester City so I would like to see Leicester City returns to Premier League. Even they wasted many points recently and are facing with risk from play-off match for promotion. Either Leicester City or Southampton will be promoted, they will face with lot of difficulty next season because quality difference between Championship and Premier League is very big. |

You must have plans for your investment, start with what is your capital source for investment. Next, risk management such as where to store your bitcoins and what will you do with your bitcoin: holding, trading and if trading, will it be Spot, Margin or Futures. The market is always here, pre- or post-halving, it is here and there are times it is more volatile than usual. If a person use leverages, when market is more volatile than usual, leveraged positions will be liquidated. Advice, in general, not only post-halving: Check these ones |

Luck will also play a role however investment is different from gambling wherein one's decision making determines profit or success. Decision making on the other hand can be improved through learning or having knowledge of what investment you will be engaging yourself with.
Learning to gain knowledge, practice to gain experience. Together they will help an investor to have better understanding about the market, price cycle, psychology cycle and fud cycle so that they will become stronger with time. When they have these factors better, they will be less likely vulnerable to fud and will feel more comfortable with investment in Bitcoin. Important to note that they must have good financial and capital management for their investment and their life beyond investment too. In Bitcoin, volatility is obviously present.
Volatility is what traders and investors need. Without volatility, we have a dead market. |

The best advertisement in the forum is through siggy camp. They can run a promotion as well but as we have seen in some of the promotions from other casinos especially not a paid one, only few really would join. This is just my personal observation, but I maybe wrong.
If look at advertisement types on the forum, what is a most common type, you can conclude that signature campaign is a most favorite advertisement type for many companies, not only gambling sites. So naively we can say it is a most cost-benefit efficient type for companies. I agree with you too because signature campaigns can provide highest exposures to forum members through many posts that can spread in many boards inside the forum. Other types like advertisement banner (that is suspended many months ago), contests, events are like supplemental advertisement types only. Companies barely run those advertisement types but don't run a signature campaign. |

What's that casinos actual monthly revenue? If you could answer that, you could answer how much is being bought and being burned.
A big casino with big business and good profit will be able to assign part of their profit for buy back and burn program. They need to have good profit, then make decision to assign some percent of profit for this program. Big or small fund for buy back and burn program mainly depends on their business income and profit. If Shuffle can provide their users information, like you are discussing, on their user dashboard, it will be very helpful. I don't know Shuffle team have this information for users to access publicly with their accounts and dashboards or only release this information in regular report like weekly, monthly or quarterly. The best is allow user to have it anytime, permissionless through a dash board. If they don't have it at the moment, they can consider to build it. |

The only thing is that the fees through uniswap are really high, which are like 150-170$ on a 60k swap from eth to usdt on both ways.
You only can wait for cheaper transaction fee. Read these insightful articles and make your plans for on-chain transactions and swaps on DEX with Ethereum blockchain. |

The burning strategy doesn't work, because the amount of burned tokens is too small compared to the total supply available on the market. If they want to make FUN more valuable, they have to make it scarce, besides developing new usecases for it
Use case and utility of a token are main factors to make its value. Buy back and burn the token is only kind of spices but not main components for a token value. Because we can see that Bitcoin, Ethereum don't have buy back and burn but they still have very high value. Ethereum only began their Burn program some years ago (since the last bull market), not since its blockchain and ETH main net launch. Regarding to potential effects from Buy back and Burn program, it will depend on budget for the program, how long will it run and so on. Because it needs time to make exposure to community about the program, then big budget decides how many tokens will be burned. We need both to have good effects from Buy back and Burn, and obviously marketing is another important factor. |

Even though it's not final yet, based on the articles I read, it looks like Serie A will definitely get 5 slots next season. Italy leads the coefficient list with 19,428 points, followed by Germany in second place and England in third place.
Both are still competing with 17 points but I am sure Germany will get 5 slots because Leverkusen, Dortmund and Munich still have matches in the UCL and UEL while all the English representatives have been eliminated. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Chance for Premier League to beat Bundesliga and get a second position is like chance for Bayern Munich to win against Leverkusen in Bundesliga weeks ago and finally we saw Leverkusen already officially become a new champion of Bundesliga. So I think Roma and Dortmund will qualify for the Champions League next season. Their points are far enough to be overtaken by the team ranked 6th in the standings.
Dortmund look to be safe with their fifth position but Roma are unsafe in Serie A. There is still pressure from Atalanta and if Roma won't play carefully, they can lose the fifth position to Atalanta and if they end this season like that, success of Serie A won't be helpful for Roma's chance to appear in Champions League. But still, basically even if one league gets more slots to play in the Champions League, but the fact remains that there is no guarantee that Serie A teamswill manage to win the Champions League trophy.
At highest levels like Champions League, a match then a battle can change a lot by very minor differences. Getting five spots for Champions League will help clubs in a league have very good opportunity to play there and also improve their finance. This is big opportunity that is wanted by many clubs so I don't underestimate importance of the fifth spot for Serie A, Bundesliga or Premier League. This new term of UEFA will force clubs in big leagues, have to be more seriously with every of their matches in European tournaments. Because if they get bad results, it will affect their league ranking and their club's chance to join European tournaments in future seasons. |

I hope they'll run some exclusive contests on this forum because they are super in it. I don't mind copying some of their tweets here but I sometimes don't do that because I don't know if they'll like that from me.
I can not say on behalf of MetaWin team but I believe they will feel good if any forum members go ahead and share their posts on Twitter. It is free advertisement for MetaWin team on Bitcointalk so they will not feel serious and be against this support from community. Btw you did it well, every crypto casino lover should bookmark their Twitter page. They have amazing contests and giveaways.
If you have a Twitter account, follow MetaWin account on Twitter for their posts on products, promotions and events. If you don't want to use Twitter, you can simply bookmark their account on Twitter but my choice will be the first solution. Even you don't use your Twitter account to post, have one is good in cryptocurrency market. You can have more convenient to follow platforms you are interested in but of course, be aware of noise and biased information on social media. |

Glassnode Insights released its report, Spot Bitcoin ETFs and Their Impacts. Trading capital and volume from Bitcoin Spot ETFs are going to OTC markets then Spot markets and they are here to stay in Bitcoin market. Weak Bitcoin Spot ETFs will have to stop their services but strongest ones will continue for a long time. Effects from new capital from Bitcoin Spot ETFs sooner or later will be reflected on price. It will be like domino effects and when a domino starts to fall, we will witness massive price impacts. In fact, spot Bitcoin ETFs have quickly grown to become one of the major drivers of market dynamics that traders need to take into account in their strategies. - The combined AUM for these ETFs has reached a staggering 851k BTC, which represents approximately 4.3% of the total circulating Bitcoin supply. This significant concentration of Bitcoin under management by ETFs highlights their growing influence on the market.
- Throughout the first quarter following their introduction, weekly inflows into Bitcoin ETFs ranged impressively from $1.2 billion to as high as $2.5 billion. However, there has been a noticeable slowdown in these inflows since late March, suggesting a potential stabilization or even a shift in investor sentiment towards these products.
Conclusions and Implications for Market ParticipantsThe introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs has significantly altered Bitcoin's supply and demand dynamics, making it crucial for market participants to consistently monitor ETF inflows and outflows. These ETFs not only help increase price levels by reducing available supply but also can greatly influence or even dictate major market movements due to their substantial market presence. This significant impact of ETFs on market dynamics means that careful observation and strategic planning are essential for investors aiming to leverage these changes effectively.   I quote theymos too. IIRC, in last halvings there was lull in the price for some time after the halving before the effect of the reduced supply really started to be felt. I wonder if that'll happen this time.

But the importance of luck can't be denied.
"Focus on knowledge, build up belief, then investment plan, and pray for luck success will come."
Luck is always important for anything, not only for Bitcoin. All the "intelligent knowledge and decisions for investments" of a "intelligent investors" is to buy bitcoin (not necessarily at the lowest price in the last period), and "good capital management" is just to "just hodl". I'm exaggerating a little, but don't exaggerate the importance of investing in an asset that is constantly growing (in the long term), as if it were an extremely complex action. Even a schoolboy can handle this.
Buy and sell within a range of price, you will invest well by buying around bottom range and taking profit around peak range. If you approach the market like this for your investment, you will feel less stress and headache. You will not feel regret by missing a bottom price or an all time high because what you aim at is a range for entry and take profit. These are not brave investors, but greedy ones. Their greed overshadows their fear.
If you spend money to invest, to get profit, you are greedy. It's clear but being greedy must co-exist with safety for your capital. If you can not keep your capital safe, reduce risk to lose it, you will end with empty hands and nothing to do after that. Isn't bitcoin volatile? What's been going on in the last week, huh?
Did you read carefully? I did not say Bitcoin is not volatile but I only wanted to say that even gold is volatile, 40% correction is not small but gold price changes slowly and people did not realize it. Crash in Covid-19 announcement is another example on volatility of gold. Stocks are volatile too but if people say Bitcoin is volatile but don't say the same for gold or stocks, they want to mislead newbies. |

 Good news has come to the serie a. The league will get 5 UCL spots starting from the upcoming season. Lazio has a chance to qualify for the europa league this season since it needs to finish at the 6th place in order to secure a spot participate in the europa league. Lazio was winning the game by acquiring one goal through luis alberto. Next two days, there is an important match for Roma and Bologna. They will meet each other and Roma will be the host for an important direct match between to competitor for a fourth position. It will be a chance for Roma to take over a fourth position from Bologna if they can beat the guest, difference will become 1 point. Later if Roma beat Udinese in 20 last minutes of a suspended match because of Ndicka's health issue, they will take the fourth position from Bologna. Serie A will very likely get 5 spots in Champions League next season but it does not finalize yet, so Roma will try to get a fourth position if possible. Difference between Roma and Bologna is not big and Roma also have to secure a fifth position against Atalanta. |

You did see the 2 games they played in the group stage right?
Also, Dortmund became first in the group in front of PSG. In my opinion PSG is definitely doable for Dortmund if they have 2 good nights
Dortmund and PSG had two matches in group stage and from results, we can say Dortmund got better results after two group-stage matches. The next two semi final matches between them will be different because many things changed in both clubs recent months. They can become stronger or weaker, probably fixed some of their weakness, had some improvements. Their understandings about each other from previous matches, will affect their approaches in two semi final matches as well. PSG is nothing to be afraid of in my opinion. Mbappe is a big danger of course, but the rest is not at the same level in my opinion.
Sure they can destroy Dortmund on a good night but this could also happen the other way around. Dortmund is the most unpredictable teams of all the teams left in the competition. They have the least money of the 4 teams left but the best fans and (at least sometimes) the biggest heart.
PSG have a good squad and one of most dangerous attacking players, Mbappe but they are not a team that can create fear for opponents. In two quarter final matches with Barcelona, PSG did not show that they are actually stronger than Barcelona and if Araújo did not make that foul, got a red card, the second quarter final match would have been a nightmare for PSG. Dortmund have nothing to feel fearful when facing PSG in semi finals. |

Hmmm that's something to take note of, speedy withdraw is also one of the features to look out when wanting to use a casino and it's seem hugewin.com covers that criteria and this will certainly increase the population of customer gambling there although since their promotion is still on the primary level seeing more active competition and bonus offers will also go along way towards their stay and also gathering crowd of gambling in the community.
Seamless experience is what people expect with blockchains and a platform that can provide seamless experience to user, will be very attractive and favorite platform to use. This shared experience with quick approval and processing for withdrawal from icopress means that Withdrawal approval on HugeWin is automatic, not manual. I know there will be cases with which platforms will do manual review and processing but such cases are not regularly seen. Generally with quick withdrawal progress like this, HugeWin provides a good service for their users. |

Happy Bitcoin's 4th halving! I am happy that I have witnessed 3 Bitcoin halvings so far. Time flies so fast. Some information for Bitcoin price, last 3 halvings. I plot the bar chart with the fourth halving price too. If people see this chart, zoom out, they will see nothing bearish with Bitcoin over many years. One more thing to say, halving is a beginning, not the end. |

When writing or reading I guess you know how it is with your android....
It is always inconvenient and uncomfortable when you use your mobile devices for typing. For reading, no big problem with mobile devices. I didn't try it until reluctantly I decided to open bitcointalk.org on a computer system. Over there the difference was alarming compared to using your phone...
Generally mobile devices like your phones, are unsecured and less secured than your desktop computers or laptops. For important things, don't do it on your mobile devices. It's for your OPSEC. You can use your mobile devices for reading posts in forum or even for posting, but for your forum account security, it's better if you log in your account on desktop computer or laptop, with better security.

Leverkusen and Roma are strongest teams in Europa League semi finals but unfortunately, they will have to fight each other to find a winner for the final match. The odds is for Leverkusen as best winner candidate, next is for Atalanta and third is for Roma. It's not because Roma are weaker than Atalanta but only because Roma will have to beat Leverkusen to go to a final match. Atalanta will have easier task, beating Marseille and have a final match. Leverkusen with their unbeaten record and Bundesliga title, are not an easy opponent for Roma and De Rossi to beat. Either Leverkuse or Roma win in semi finals, they will be considered as an upper team in the final match against either Atalanta or Marseille. |

Was this an internal transfer between two Coinbase accounts or were you sending BTC to your brother's wallet?
If it is an internal transfer between two Coinbase accounts, it can be completed very quickly. It can be done shortly after Coinbase approve that internal transfer. In fact, more correctly, there is no transfer, it's just a credit from one account to another account with approval internally from Coinbase. If it is an on chain transaction, it will be between to wallets and this will require on chain transaction fee. The confirmation time for on-chain transactions can vary from practically instant (if you are lucky enough to have sent the transaction at the right moment), and you can wait 1 hour regardless of whether you have paid the priority fee.
It depends on network status, mempool condition, used fee rate for that transaction like high or low and depends on a luck factor too. If you are lucky, you can broadcast your transaction and some seconds later, a new block will be found and your transaction can be confirmed with that block. Time gaps between blocks has information on it. |
