It was a very special night, especially for Real Madrid's wonderkid, Arda Guler, who was the key player in the victory with the only goal he scored. It's not easy to compete with the first team and finally he got the opportunity to play as a starter in the away match to Real Sociedad. His physical and mental abilities are well organized and he can prove this through his beautiful game.
Real Madrid recent years are very cleverly to combine their old, experienced players with their youth players. By having good strategy for it, they combine these old and young players very well. It's helpful for youth players to be cover by old players and learn from them, grow up well, avoid unnecessary big pressure on their shoulders.

This successful combination helps Real Madrid to maintain their performances and don't fall into crisis. Recent seasons, we see Real Madrid successfully grew up Valverde, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Camavinga, Tchouameni and Guler can be another one.

Bayern was not at good condition at this moment but they can come with a big surprise for us. Just never try to underestimate your opponent even though it was so struggling in domestic league. Bayern has ever done this struggle on bundesliga but this club won UCL.
This is the same situation like what chelsea did. Real madrid has already learned a lot from the history of UCL. They will not try to use second tier squad against bayern munich.
Real Madrid were considered as weaker than Manchester City and had less chance to win at Etihad stadium but we saw what happened. Now at semi finals, they are considered as stronger than Bayern Munich but I believe from their own experience, they know that each of two semi final matches will be very important and they must play well in both semi finals.

Bayern Munich will be at a similar position like Real Madrid in quarter finals with Manchester City. They are good and strong enough, ambitious enough to fight and beat Real Madrid.

Let's see what kind of strategy will be used by tuchel. I think that madrid will use usual strategy like when it faced city in the previous game.
The only minor change that may possible to happen.
Carlo Ancelotti is very experienced in Champions League and he knows what to do. He knows that Real Madrid will not automatically become a winner and know well about strength and challenge from Bayern Munich.

With his experience, he will wisely choose proper tactics for Real Madrid in two semi finals and don't hurry to knock Bayern Munich down since beginning of each match.

You seem to have a lot of knowledge when it comes to football. You probably missed the last game when Roma actually lost against Bologna at home 1-3. I am now confused why you would think that it will be easy for Roma to finish the season in 4th position.
The defeat directly to Bologna at a home stadium last week nearly knocked Roma down in their race with Bologna for a fourth position. 4 points are what Bologna get ahead of Roma, with same total matches. Roma will have five matches to fight against their opponents and this direct competitor for a fourth position but in last five league matches, Roma will meet two big opponents, Napoli, tomorrow, and Juventus, next week. It won't be easy for Roma to equalize 4-point difference with Bologna.

Quote
But if you think that it will be easy for Roma to finish 4th position, it would a great opportunity for you to set up a bet with me. I say that Roma will not finish 4th. Let me know what you think as you seem to be a genius, this should be a no brainer for you.
It will not be easy for Roma but they fortunately have two other gates to be eligible for Champions League. A fifth position in Serie A or a title in Europa League. Now Roma have three ways to get a ticket to Champions League 2024 - 2025 season.

My guess is Google's just trying to make a point here.  Legal action like this shows they ain't messing around when it comes to scams in their app store.  They probably wanna scare off any shady developers thinking about pulling this kinda crap in the future and  sure, maybe Google should've cracked down on this stuff sooner.  But hey, better late than never, right? As long as regular users can avoid getting ripped off Id say it's a good move.
So rather than building up better infrastructures inside Google to filter application submission for listing in Google Play, Google go ahead with finding preventive measures for their company. They prioritize it than aim at defending their users first. No customers first here with this movement of Google.

If it can help Google to reduce fake and scam applications on Google Play, it can be helpful for community and Google Play users but I don't imagine of big positive effects from this change.

After previously having to suffer defeat against Bologna, this time Roma managed to complete their victory again and they narrowly won 1-2 against hosts Udinese. Roma should be able to win, especially since they don't have much time left if they want to secure a place in the Champions League and every point they collect will be very meaningful.
They have four points ahead of Atalanta but Atalanta can make the gap to only 1 point difference because Atalanta have one match to fight for three points. This win of AS Roma is very emotional because they only scored a winning goal at injury time and at very last seconds.

The fifth position looks to be enough for Roma to join Champions League next season based on rank of Serie A so far compares to other leagues. Roma will try to defend the fifth position first and if possible, they will try to take over the fourth position from Bologna but it seems it's not a priority of Roma now.

Quote
Meanwhile, this defeat makes Udinese's fate closer to the brink of the relegation zone and if they continue to lose, it will be easier for them to move down to Serie B next season. Udinese has the same number of points as Frosinone and is only superior on goal difference. Udinese will still have another difficult match where they will play Bologna and I think it will be another defeat for Udinese.
The defeat is bad for Udinese to exit the relegation zone and it's a bad debut of Fabio Canavaro as a new head coach of Udinese. Two ex players of Italy in Word Cup 2006 met each other as head coaches but De Rossi won and put Canavaro to a bad situation with Udinese.

After all, everyone knows that one of the advantages of futures trading is opening short positions, which is impossible to do in the spot market. And since we are dealing with a highly volatile market, then you can choose for yourself the minimum leverage of x1 to open a short position.
With Margin and Futures trading, people can open short position that they can not do with Spot trading. However, with Margin and Futures trading, they will have to face with more manipulation from market whales and exchanges.

Centralized exchanges have data on opened positions of their users and they can use available data to manipulate market price to kill long and short positions. At the end, centralized exchanges are winners. People will long or short positions will be liquidated but they can not complain and can not get money back as it is part of the game with Margin and Futures trading.

Leverkusen has perfect run in bundesliga. It makes roma to be even more carefully in fighting against leverkusen soon. The club will have very strong intention to defend its record. Winning the game against roma is a must considering that if leverkusen is targeting europa league this time. Since leverkusen has won bundesliga and club is now even having burden anymore to fight against roma soon. BTW, here's the odds for the upcoming game.
Knock out matches are different than a long league and this perfect season of Leverkusen in Bundesliga will be meaningless for Leverkusen if they can not beat Roma in two semi final matches. If their semi finals come to penalty shoot outs, everything can happen because on penalty spots, luck plays very important role for winner and loser. Training is important but at penalty spot, pressure is huge and players can easily lose control of their mentality and accuracy no matter how many times they practice shots from this spot in training.

Quote
Roma is not leading the upcoming game even though it was also performing quite well in serie a. It's caused by the consistency from the club remain the big question for roma. It was losing against bologna recently and its chance to qualify for UCL next season is getting even smaller than before.
Im hoping leverkusen to kick roma out from europa league.
Roma are considered as weaker than Leverkusen but if they have proper tactics, they can actually challenge Leverkusen in semi finals. Leverkusen are not a big name in Europe like Real Madrid so Roma will have less stress in these matches and can start these semi finals with confidence about their own ability.

It's true that Bitcoin is a useful tool for criminals, you can see the high share of ransomware attacks demanding Bitcoin as the payment method, which is far superior in this case to any fiat methods. But there's not much a government can do now, banning Bitcoin won't solve anything, Bitcoin is impossible to ban and the criminals would still use it and trade it for fiat on black market. And because of Bitcoin's public nature some criminals will get caught because their transactions got traced on blockchain.
If they can not stop money laundering through fiat currencies, banks, they will less possible stop money laundering through Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

It's true to say Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can be used and are used for money laundering but say it is like biggest threats for governmental control in their economy, finance on their citizens, I don't think this is correct.

Defending privacy does not always mean it is money laundering and privacy is one of human rights.

After having defeat against Atlanta at home their confidence level is almost down and things are pity going against them which are having big impact on their performance in these matches even right now we are having just 3 points difference from the leaders but most chances title race is almost ended because Manchester City is having just 4 points difference from the leaders, and they are having 2 games in hand which are making them clearly leaders for another title.
Liverpool now can give up because even if they try, chance for them is very small. Arsenal can try more but Manchester City have biggest advantage in the competition race now. They have two more matches to take over the first position and create 2 points more than Arsenal. In remaining matches, Arsenal will meet two big opponents, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, and they have risk to lose points with these two big clashes.

Quote
Liverpool having good control in game against Everton, but their players were not able to perform as they needed which is huge setback for them now they have only four matches left with against West Ham and Aston Villa away and Tottenham and Wolves at home things are looking not favourable to go at the top and have any chance of winning the title in this season.
Liverpool played well but in this season, they wasted many opportunities and lost many points. If they can score some more important goals, they will get more points and don't fall behind Arsenal and Manchester City like this.

The irreversible transactions was a solution to the existing problem with payment systems that have reversible transactions. Just check out how many merchants are being scammed when they are paid through something like PayPal and you'll realize what Bitcoin solved.
We only can have irreversible transactions with Bitcoin blockchain. Altcoin developers and enthusiasts can not deny this unique design and strength of Bitcoin blockchain.

With altcoin blockchains, they can be rolled back, halted by founders, developer teams and you can lose your money if you use altcoin blockchains for transactions.

You can even lose your funds in your non custodial wallets if developers, governments use smart contracts to freeze funds in a targeted address.

I really pity for Jurgen Kloop for ending his career in this manner, they started well from the beginning of the season and towards the end they are losing form, truly this is a bad record for Jurgen Kloop, when Liverpool appeared in europa many thought that Leverkusen and Liverpool are the must must strongest teams which many were expecting the champions but at long way Liverpool was eliminated.
Weeks ago, if Klopp decided to choose only one between Premier League and Europa League, he can reserve and use best players for one of two competitions and they would have not ended with losing both competitions.

With two defeats in Premier League lately, Liverpool have no chance to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City when the league has very little matches left. In Europa League, Liverpool can beat Atalanta and Marseille in quarter and semi finals if they fully focus there, which is not what actually happened.

It's bad for Klopp and Liverpool to finish a long era of Klopp at Anfield this way especially only some weeks ago, they still have chances to win big titles like Premier League and Europa League but by hesitating to choose one competition to focus on, they lost both.

Quote
This Premier league is taking another dimension because things i don't expect to happen are seriously happening, even in dream i don't think Everton can win the match especially when it's against Liverpool, Crystal Palace win Newcastle United it's also unbelievable too.
Now only Arsenal can continue to race with Manchester City but they don't control this race. Manchester City have full control of the race and they only have Premier League to play till the season ending. It will not be too difficult for Manchester City to finish rest matches with perfect results and beat Arsenal in this competition race.

I could remember back in the days at the college, we barely read our books but only during exams especially when we finds others reading and after reading we still don't grab anything in the head. It was usually one of those dump heads then.

This inability to acquire valuable knowledges had also insighted us with fears to acquire technical knowledges indebts to this bitcoin industry.
There are many steps to get in.

Knowledge. Everyone can learn knowledge if they have attitude to start for learning.
Practice. Everyone, after gaining knowledge, will need to have right attitude to start practicing.

So you see the key is not knowledge but attitude and you can say it is knowledge, belief then actual practice.

They can start by reading this book The bullish case for Bitcoin. If they become bullish after reading, they can start their practice and investment.

Since I started watching football, I have never seen a striker as worst as Jackson, his composure and scoring mindset is very poor, I can count from yesterday match he missed two solid chances that would atleast save them from being nailed to zero. The painful thing about this is that he is going to still be among the starting eleven in their upcoming match
You are exaggerating too much about quality of Jackson who is not a world class striker but he is not like a worst ever striker in Premier League or globally recent years or this year.

He is very young too, only 23 years old now.
https://www.premierleague.com/players/110526/Nicolas-Jackson/overview

Many players did not play well when they were young but in later of their career, they became better and even reached to world class levels. We can say it with Drogba, Vardy and some other players. Jackson still has many seasons ahead to improve and become a better forward/ striker.

I understand it is an ongoing issue but what is the solution to this issue?
If you only have bitcoins, wait. Waiting for some months after a halving will help you to have better price to take profit.

If you have altcoins, banks, you can use them alternatively during this time.

Will those spammers namely Ordinals stop spamming the network or it is a new thing that we as a community now need to adapt?
They will stop or reduce their spam. Ordinals and Runes are the same, when people are seriously minting those tokens, they spam Bitcoin mempools. When these guys done their minting, Bitcoin mempools will gradually become better.

Ordinals and Runes can come and go, then return and we can see other similar projects too.

Why hesitate because as far as we can see Bayern Munich is not much better than now and although the benchmark in the league is not a reference, Bayern Munich's performance is not as good as the previous season. So I am much more confident that Real Madrid will be able to complete the semifinals to qualify for the final with a perfect victory. Apart from having experience and mentality, Real Madrid will be even more dangerous when they make it to the semifinals and we can see how they play when they are in that round.
La Liga is better than Bundesliga in general quality of clubs and matches. In addition, it's true to say Real Madrid have better players than Bayern Munich and they also have better performances in this season.

From these reasonable inputs, you can consider Real Madrid are a stronger team in semi finals and they have better chance to win semi finals and go to the final match. However difference between two teams is not too big and Bayern Munich actually have enough big chance to beat Real Madrid. Players like Harry Kane can help Bayern Munich to beat Real Madrid and he will be one of most dangerous players against Real Madrid in semi final matches.

Quote
I hope that Real Madrid will meet PSG in the final so that the match will be much more interesting and Mbappe will become the fried material that the media crew will try to write about. There are only a few steps left for Luis Enrique and even if he is not able to prove his best then making it to the final is a great achievement, especially if he wins.
If the final is like this, it will be very interesting when Mbappe will play for PSG to face against Real Madrid, that is his next club. If he scores goals to help PSG to win Champions League, by beating Real Madrid, his next club, directly in a final match, it will be a very memorable match for him, PSG and Real Madrid.

The positive side of cryptocurrency Peer to Peer Transfe.I can send you money directly without any middleman.
There are middle men like Bitcoin miners, nodes that will confirm your transactions. Your money (cryptocurrency) only comes to your peer's receiving address if it is confirmed.

Middle mean in cryptocurrency can come from centralized or decentralized entity. It depends on each blockchain, mining pool, staking pool and some other factors. Generally it is better than bank transfers through central banks or commercial banks.
118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin For Purchasing Goods and Services Mainstream>? on: April 23, 2024, 10:30:48 AM
It is obvious that as a means of payment, Bitcoin has a big problem when we talk about on-chain transactions that are not instant, and as we can see, they can be very expensive.
I am fine with Bitcoin blockchain for payments because it is a most secured blockchain, Proof of Work, highest network hashrate and difficulty.

Unfortunately, since 2023 and the deployment of Ordinals and BRC20 tokens, Bitcoin blockchain becomes more congested with massive high transaction fee rate spams from Ordinals. Since the halving, another attack factor appears, Runes and together Ordinals and Runes make Bitcoin on-chain transactions become very expensive.

It is no long a good mean of payment even for the rich.

Visiting, accessing a foreign local board with Read mode is different than contributing for that foreign local board with your posts.

So there I'll suggest using the translator and how about someone who has basic skills to be fluent with the language?
You can use translation tools for reading, there is no harm to do that, no penalty from forum rules if you do that.

It's not easy to communicate with foreigners in a language you are not familiar with, not proficient enough to read and communicate in writing. If you want to learn that language and the condition to start in this forum, is you already have kind of basics about that language, it's not prohibited for any member to read and write in a foreign local board.

Issues only occur if you use translation tools to make your posts, because it means you don't learn that language and don't practice to improve yourself. It will become spamming, merit fishing, getting post quota. Your posts will be reported, deleted and your account will be banned.

Today, Bitcoin is simply an investment and value store, not a "currency" for most of its users.
People have freedom to use their bitcoins in any way they want, investment, store of value, currency, payment method, gambling mean, whatever.

Quote
Today, most holders of Bitcoin do so in a centralized way, e.g. with a broker or an app.
Again, there is freedom for people to choose what they do like where do they store their bitcoins.

Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto with a core idea, to give us private keys that help us to have our own bitcoin banks. With private keys, we actually owns our bitcoins. So if people decide to use centralized exchanges, they don't have private keys, and only have public addresses.

If they accept risk, they have freedom to store their bitcoins on centralized exchanges. We can not ask them to do anything and only can give them advice.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts
