most important thing is that Pochettino managed to have a positive influence on Chelsea even though this improvement occurred towards the end of the season but it doesn't matter, this is a sign that Chelsea has hopes of rising in the next season and the only hope is that Chelsea can retain Pochettino to prove to the whole world that Chelsea can return to its glory days again.
Poch has not have a positive influence for me at Chelsea and this will change if only he can qualify for Europa League, then he may moving towards positive while if he can win it then it can be said that he has finally proved us wrong to lead Chelsea back to glory. Which I still doubt.

Chelsea does not lack players and in terms of finances it is also very sufficient, but it's just that last season and the start of this season, Chelsea is experiencing a bit of a problem with team collaboration which is unable to improve its performance and if I look at it, it's just a problem of unifying the chemistry between the players.
Aside team collaboration, this Chelsea squad lack experience and we don't really have squad depths especially in the midfield to be frank.

now let's just compare the performance at the beginning of the season with the performance at the end of the season, Chelsea looks more solid as the strong chemistry between the players can create more consistent attacks and very good defense.
Don't forget Chelsea started the season well, dominating and getting a draw against Liverpool but after that we continue to see disappointing displays from players and coach.
Pochettino will definitely be more enthusiastic this time and hopefully this is not just temporary so betting on Chelsea remaining matches can be a little easier to predict.
is not easy and I still don't trust Poch to take Chelsea back to glory to be frank Chelsea were lucky enough that most teams didn't really dominate and there have been shared points from everywhere and so there's still hope getting a Europa League spot. While qualifying for Europa League will give him an edge to continue next I will say if we lose that spot he should be fired because he is tactically lacking compared to top coaches.

It's disappointing that the government actually will already know this and still continue their own pursuit just to prove that they're the ones with power which is actually dumb. To be frank I don't really know much about atomic swap and for some unknown reason i'm unable to access this site atomic swaps but at least one fact I know is that criminals/hackers will continue to find other ways to go on with their malicious plans, it's inevitable they are innovative.
Sometimes if only the government can see that the more they try the more things becomes worst I guess they would usually think back before doing somethings

Watching Leverkusen vs Roma and it was very interesting and indeed Leverkusen was dominate the match but in the first half they didn't too aggressive but Roma who playing with slightly defense can gets the opportunity to scored from penalty kick and Paredes can utilized that opportunity to make Roma leading the game and at the beginning of second half Roma was playing aggressive and they had decide to playing more attacking and Roma gets another penalty kick which makes they can leading 2 goals

I thought the match will be over and Leverkusen will tasted their first defeat this season and the match will continue by extra time but clearly i was wrong because Leverkusen can make epic comeback and scores 2 goals which makes the match have to ended with draw and with final aggregate 4-2 then Leverkusen can able to advances to the final match against Atalanta however it's amazed to see Leverkusen performance today because they really have champion mentallity and final match also very interesting because they will fight against Atalanta and i think it won't be easy because during the tournament Atalanta performance also very impressive and they even can beat Marseille with big scores

Xabi Alonso giving those king of comeback vibes as a former Madridista, though they are use to snatching or getting all point in their domestic league this season and in general but i will like to see if they will continue to have same mentality next season because its obvious now just as we have been saying they may win the Europa League though Atalanta is a good team but I think Bayern Leverkusen will still have their way just like they been doing this season, applause to both Alonso and the entire squad great job .

That is why I have a slight hope in Chelsea that they will win Nottingham Forest in their next match, even if Nottingham Forest tries anything serious, they will end up drawing Chelsea in the game.

Unfortunately Chelsea lately has been finding it hard getting a win against Nottingham forest though I really hope their coming match should be different but this is not because of the 5 goals to nil they won against West Ham, there were matches where they pretty dominate and then in their next match disappointing like after defeating Everton 6 goals to nil.

On a paper, it wont be difficult for Chelsea to win all the 3 remaining matches because the 3 remaining opponents can be considered as easy team to beat compared to the 2 teams they have beaten previously (West Ham and Spurs). Mathematically they still have the chance to finish in the 5th position but they also need to rely on other results. In my opinion, there will be no significant changes on the standing at the of the season so I guess Chelsea will stay in where they are now.
It is very difficult to expect Chelsea to win in the remaining 3 matches this season. Brighton, Nottingham and Bournemouth can surprise Chelsea and everyone who supports them, but I agree that the probability of Chelsea winning these 3 matches is very high.

So far I don't always believe in the probability of a team winning, that's because in some matches the results don't match expectations. Chelsea were favored in many easy matches against mid-table or lower-table teams, but they failed to win according to the expectations of most fans. Meanwhile, in difficult matches, Chelsea tend to play better and they can almost be expected to get at least a point at the end of the match.
The remaining matches ought to be an easy win for the Chelsea team but they being too inconsistent I usually just put my hopes up especially against these lower teams. Chelsea attackers did well in the previous match but we don't know how well they will perform since this has usually been the issue of then disappointing against these lower/mid teams.

Do you think this downtrend will continue as income per unit of hash is still lower than anything previously and cheaper and cheaper energy is needed to keep older units profitable with new units at residential area cost seem to have over 24 months of ROI?  And as I asked before
Now the difficulty has reduced, computational power to mine a block will reduced if the Bitcoin price doesn't drop significantly, i don't think there will be a downtrend.

Are home miners going to get wiped out by huge companies that have access to investors capital and cheap electricity? Would that be a danger to centralization?
I guess you meant danger to decentralisation, I still doubt that because even if the big company do have a greater hash rate than others the probability of them being able to act maliciously is still low.

I have a feeling that Tottenham will mess up Manchester City league title dreams this season. Tottenham have been on losing streak, losing 4 matches straight which have made them lose their chances of qualifying for Champions League next season and even their chances of qualifying for Europa League is being threatened by Newcastle that have picked up form after their weeks of turbulence. Tottenham need to win at least one match if they must change the tide and the only option available is Brighton or Manchester City. I'm feeling that they might draw Brighton then win Manchester City. If this happens, then Arsenal's hope of winning the league will become reality.  
Wow I'm not the only one having this premonition, especially from the fact that they have lost awfully against these other teams while having an excellent squad that are too inconsistent even more disappointing than before.  Man City should be really weary of them for this because it will be totally disgraceful if Tottenham literally lose to them all. Though I want City to win this match and the league, I don't want Arsenal to win the league  which may actually would have been a better proof that Epl is not a farmer league but who cares, I just want to be able to  mock their fans

Hala Madrid Hala Madrid that's what is happening right now in Spain but I still don't know why the delay in bringing in Joselu? Ancelotti played with fire in this encounter against the barbarians, they haven't been good without a number 9 all this while but Joselu has been there to fill in that space and he kept on benching him, that's not fair and they're lucky he came at the right time and gave them the winner.
Bayern Munich loss tonight is like the kane's effect honestly, how can it be when he decides to show up to play for Bayern just to win at least a trophy that's when Bayern choose to be in bad shape, I feel for the man Harry Kane, he's not having enough luck on his side, I feel for him.

Joselu is not nearly as effective (during the season) as we would like, but dad Carlo knew the exact time when to release him  Grin
I'm happy for Real and very happy for Joselu - for him this is a season of great victories (he didn't have a single title before he came to Real) and big disappointments (he feels that he doesn't live up to Real's level). I would like to know what is going on in his head - after all, he is an Espanyol player (from the Segunda lol) and is in Real Madrid as a temporary loan option. And in this status, he has already won La Liga, the Super Cup and has now reached the Champions League final.

I can't say Ancelotti knows when to bring him (Joselu) and all that praises, I think he (Ancelotti) was luck in that game, he's suppose to give the player that opportunity as a Madrid player no matter how he got to Madrid, imagine the manager playing Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr and Bellingham up front and non of them are standing 9, why not bring Joselu into the mix? Well let's see how lucky they'll be against Dortmund and I tip the German side to win the title.
Ancelotti had already won the Champions League 5 times before Real Madrid reached the final yesterday and that says a lot. Now it is one of the most, if not the most titled coach in the world, so he obviously knew when to release Joselu and in general it seems that Ancelotti called Joselu to Real and gave him a chance to play for the team, although before that Joselu played at Alaves and in Espanyol and in the end they did not need him and went on loan to Real for free.

It is written that Joselu's contract is worth 1.5 million euros to buy him out and Ancelotti is for Joselu to stay at Real, but I understand Perez wants to buy Mbappe and it is not clear whether there will be a place in the Real team for Joselu after the purchase of Mbappe.  
Credit should be given to Ancelotti for making such substitute no doubt, he usually knows who to bring him at that time just like we saw with Rodrygo 2 season ago in the Champions league though this happened alot of times and another notably thing is from the fact that when Madrid usually get a die minute goal they may likely win that match since they are the king of comeback and another thing is that there's always a player who's ready to step at that time, this is a unique thing for the Real Madrid squad no matter what a player is usually ready to step up and that's why one is already on the verge of losing when they ignore any thinking of ways to neutralised any of Madrid players especially from their starting xi

FOMO is the main reason crypto newbies fail to learn firstly before investment while they might be lucky if they maybe lucky investing in bitcoin before learning this can't be said about altcoins which needs more research in order to avoid scam coins or coins with little or no value, though investing in  bitcoin without proper knowledge about how to securely store your coin is the worst mistakes for bitcoin newbies.

You clearly are a very newbie indeed for coming up with such a post that sounds rhetoric or should I say you just need the attention.
Why should someone without a proper investment knowledge, invest their hard earned money and hope to make profit, before they then learn about what they have invested in and hope to invest more, make more profit and become a professional all of a sudden?
It makes no absolute sense, infact how does the learner acquire the investment and keep it safe before they learn how to?

Actually this post is good there are alot of bitcoiners and others into crypto currency that didn't have knowledge before investment, I actually have a friend who is Dad was persuaded to invest in an altcoin that has little or no value, seems like it was a stable coin or something close to it and this was over 10 years ago, he was advised to HODL for about 5 years from which the price did dropped more.

Another proof while this is important is from the fact that before many of us joined this forum we were already into the crypto space but not knowledgeable about the right wallets and ways to store our coins. Thank God for BTT just imagine what ignorant might have caused us without this forum

Great job by Dortmund, but it was really intense...  Sad  PSG were once again on one of their unluckiest days. I thought it would be different this time but they had many shots hitting the post.

Dortmund normally don't have a good defending. This is the same for like many years. Their not conceding a goal in this matchup shouldn't mislead people because of that. If PSG got more lucky with those shots I mentioned the final result might have been way different.

But of course there is no meaning in discussing maybes from now on.  Grin  After 11 years Dortmund are back in another finale.


To be honest, Dortmund performed well in yesterday's match, I didn’t expect them to perform with such confidence, Dortmund played a defensive game yesterday and also played a counterattack yesterday, you can see that PSG had 30 shots on target and no goals in the match, although PSG dominated the game against Dortmund but Dortmund use the opportunity they have to win yesterday, I said it before the game, I said if Dortmund wants to win against PSG they need to score another goal so that they can make PSG weak in the game and if you look at the match you will notice that after Dortmund score goal PSG players performance look somehow and they want to fight back but Dortmund have to use the opportunity to win and secure 2 goals ahead of them.

Yesterday was a happy day for Dortmund because it has been a while since they played in the Champions League, this is about 11 years since they played in the Champions League final and they have the chance to play this season, Dortmund is going to face Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, anyone that win in today match, many people are assuming that Bayern Munich can win and they can play against Dortmund so that what happened 11 years ago will repeat itself but they should remember that Bayern is playing in Real Madrid stadium and we know that Real Madrid are not easy to defeat in their stadium.

PSG really unlucky especially when you consider the number of their balls that hit the bar, Psg just needed a goal to get the momentum to turn things around but that never showed instead Dortmund got the goal, being able to win PSG home and away is an applause to Dortmund though they were having luck on their side but what can I say its football. I actually wonder how many really place a bet on Dortmund to win both home and also away, Is good to see them in the final after 11 years, less see if luck and other factors will help them to win the Champions league.

You will find a more detailed discussion about disable inscription ----->  (Ordinals) BRC-20 needs to be removed
The bottom line is that we may have negative or positive opinions about Ordinals, but in the end, the decentralization of the network means accepting opinions that differ from yours as long as they are compatible with the protocol.
The main problem is the high transaction fees, for which we see that there are lengthy discussions without ideal solutions.
There is also another main problem from the fact that this makes bitcoin Non-Fungible since some sats worth more than others, like this post about someone paying 1 sats for 33.3 BTC simply because it is Rare https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5494171.msg63992220#msg63992220 though its an hard truth to say everyone choose what they use their bitcoin for but what about now when it also affect the fungibility of Bitcoin.

It's very drastic action, when we could just make Ordinals TX (or rather OP_FALSE OP_IF usage) become non-standard which force spammer to either give up or ask miner to add their TX manually at high cost. And IMO hard fork should be used for far more important upgrade/change, rather than only to make Ordinals TX invalid.
I`m curious, what kind of more important upgrade that needs to be done rather the Ordinals
113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 07, 2024, 07:56:00 PM
I think it’d be a great story if Dortmund got to the final but I have a feeling PSG will really go at them from the first minute tonight.

I think PSG will have too much for the Germans tonight but I am rooting for Dortmund.
Literally it will be a beautiful moment for them to get to the final since 2013 and then maybe we will get to experience another 2013 champions league final, when two Germans teams face each other, Bayern Munich vs Dortmund just like before, will actually want to see this.

Though this will be hard but as the match is going now half time already Match still nil for both team, less see if they can actually hold psg to the end which I doubt.

I have a brand new phone, if I unbox it and use it to install only my bitcoin wallet without using it to frequent online or click links and neither will I download other apps. Will I still be easily hacked?
While cold wallets are the best, it actually depends on how you use it though it will continue to be the best option especially when you have largely amount of Bitcoin.

Using your mobile device doesn't mean you will be easily hack rather it is how you use it that matters, that's you have to be cautious sites or platforms you visit and download from, what accessibility you give to some applications and other security practices because even if you're not using your device often bad practices will make it easier for hackers to get hold of your bitcoin

Actually it's always better to run a full node if you can, since you are not going to be depending on a third party to verify a block and as mocacinno said it improve decentralisation of the Bitcoin network.

Also this thread will be helpful to you Questions about pruned nodes.
