Both parties made their points and it is indisputable that crypto-assets are highly volatile and risky but it has saved lots of dying economies specifically in the African regions where their economy is suffering severe set back most especially Bitcoin and stable coins. The problem with Crypto asset lies in the numerous shitcoin failed projects that has stirred up more doubt for the crypto-cycle.

I am glad 21 human right activist who might not know much about the technology underlying the crypto-asset and how it functions were able to defend this assets because they have had the opportunity to make transactions using Bitcoin and most stable coin and saw the ease and transparency in their public ledger distribution. I wish there are mediums where Bitcoin could be made even more popular so the masses could also have a taste on how this decentralized assets work so they too don't just swallow all the hear from this tech experts

these two Manchesters cannot be equated for now because in terms of quality now Man City is far above Manchester United and it will most likely remain the same in the next few years.
for Manchester United next year they with their new coach will still be a mystery whether the new coach is able to lift the performance of Manchester United which has been slumped for a long time or not.
while Man City no one doubts them in the next season to stay strong and become strong candidates again to be able to defend the Premier League title considering that in recruiting players to look forward to next season Man City is very good by being able to bring in the current soccer star Erling Haaland.


Manchester United has a lot of way to do to be competitive against a Manchestery City that is so rich and is very well managed. We should see what Erik Ten Hag will do next season, but I'm not so confident, because

players of Man United are less strong than The Man City ones.

Anyway, never say never  Grin
I don't think Manchester city is better off than manchester united they difference between both clubs isn't quality of players but rather management. If Pep or Klopp were to manage United last season the performance would have been better even with the current squad United have at the moment but let's see what Ten Hag has for next season i think next season will be very clear on which of the Manchester's is better.

It's a critical match for Spain, they absolutely need to come back with 3 points, otherwise their chances of reaching the semifinals will diminish.
I think Portugal can draw with Czech Republic. Spain drew in the last minutes.
Both teams share the same points but one needs to win so they can secure their chance of playing in the semi-final else spain might take advantage of Switzerland to share the same point with the top two. Portugal seem more ready to win against Czech Republic today
Quote
Looking at the other group, Norway is likely to have an easy win. The main match will be between Sweden and Serbia.
It could be a game with a lot of goals.
Sweden and Serbia will be like the clash of titans. Both teams share equal points as well and one has to win to secure the second place since it is already looking clearer that Norway has secured the first place on the group already they have had two straight wins and will likely win their third leg

~snipe~
Same thing happens everytime Best_Change sig opens, the adrenaline rush of users is often up when they come across a high paying campaign such that, the instructions aren't paid heed to. Somehow, you might forget but, its only wise and expected that users revisit the thread often for updates and perhaps screw back a few pages to check the applicants if they've really got a chance.  Although, that's always left for Best_Change to decide and this often takes a few days to come by so as to give the most credible a chance yo slide in an application and not just working with what is available until necessary. I guess those still making errors will come to realise there errors real soon, learn to the a few steps back on a trendy and make the necessary adjustments.
There is always a first time for everything new thanks for the correction. The rush can't be avoided but it is nice you are kind enough to remind users of the requirements i hope other applicants see this in time. Thanks too @lovesmayfamilis you just so  kind to have quoted my address for correction

The second half  of the year 2022 is indecisive for now because the bitcoin chart is looking too noisy and there is no strong candle to suggest any new upward trend even on higher time frame. I think the end of June will give a clearer picture of what to expect in the second half, a major breakout will tell where the market will possibly move next for now the month of June might either be choppy or range trend.
1186  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A single trading tool is not enough on: June 09, 2022, 03:33:50 PM
Using tools like charts and indicators are not really mandatory to do trades, we can set our target price and leave it until it reaches but for short term traders they have to do more analysis on the movements that is where the importance of indicators and other trading tools comes but it also doesn't ensure the market movement just a kind of prediction and expect it to happen. Long time back when I am actively doing day trades I used to use 3 indicators only because too much if indicators also will give more confusion which doesn't let us to conclude the things.
What do you use in setting your targets? If you just jump into trades without analysis be it short term or scalping it is similar to gambling. Indicators are like guides they are not the main base for taking investment decision but they serve as conformational tools especially if you are using it with the news. The market on it's own is even more confusing without an indicator it might make investors guess on market trends and expect the market obey their own predictions

I don't think if there is any economy in the world that escaped inflation. I can still recall five years back when a $100 could buy a whole lot but as it stands it is only valuable in the hands of the poor because it is barely enough to carter for most family needs. It is even more difficult saving nor investing with this high inflation, it takes so much discipline to invest and that is just the only way to live above inflation in this era.

Bayern Munich seem like the most serious team to sign Liverpool star Sadio Mane. They are making their attempts to sign him as soon as possible and they must be hopeful about Liverpool not to cause much problem to them. Because they know that Sadio Mane already stated that he wanted to leave. To be honest, it has been really great to watch him playing for Liverpool for years. He has been a very important part of the attacking line of the team. If they lose him, it's going to be a significant amount of loss of power for them.
The departure of a player who has become an important part of the club will indeed make some changes. If Mane leaves then Liverpool will have to find a replacement that exceeds him it will take time, because we know Mane has been included in Liverpool's game scheme.

Mane departure is a big problem for Liverpool, because the Senegalese winger has been one of the Reds' mainstay goalscorers in the last five years. Mane has a mix of skill, physical strength and determination, Klopp must find the ideal player who can replace Mane position. Klopp is very interested in Christian Pulisic playing style, the ability Pulisic shows can fill the space left by Mane, Pulisic can also play in various positions in attack. Pulisic contract at Chelsea will expire in 2024, Chelsea are ready to part with Pulisic if Liverpool are ready to pay a high price to sign Pulisic.


Christian Pulisic to Liverpool... It would be a nice deal for Liverpool to be honest. For now, Sadio Mane seems to be very decided to leave the team so Liverpool should plan their transfers according to this. Pulisic is naturally a right winger but he can play as a left winger and even in the midfield too. As he is a versatile player, Liverpool can benefit from this and his skills a lot. I don't know how much money Chelsea would like for him but Liverpool can afford it even with the money that will come from the Mane transfer.
Klopp might consider Pulisic as good replacement for Mane but not a complete replacement because Mane outside been a winger and  plays forward in the LFC he has strength and stamina that Pulisic lacks. But for making similar chances and assists i think Pulisic fits in but he shouldn't be expected to replicate Mane's history in Liverpool
1190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet on: June 08, 2022, 08:16:03 PM
recently I've come across some information for an upcoming soccer match and I'd like to place a big bet of 50-100k, how easy would it be for me to take out a loan and how long would it take? has anyone else done something like this?

feel free to message me or comment below  Smiley
First do you have the collateral equivalent of the loan you about to take? Taking a loan with such amount will require lots of assessments like source of income, assets, Creditworthiness and guarantor. But how on earth will you think of taking such a huge loan on a bet have you thought of the risk carefully? it is scary to make such an attempt
1191  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: SHA256 once & twice on: June 08, 2022, 08:09:29 PM
3. base58_check it (no need for sha256 before that)
4. print each WIF to file
5. rescan all WIFs in Bitcoin Core

EDIT: but it seems not the proper way without visible sha256, because WIFs look totally different. I should use at least one sha256.
If there is no need for SHA256 hashing then how will the extended key be hashed and the checksum gotten also what will the base58_check be converting from a byte string to base58 string. The two SHA256 is needed first for  Performing a  SHA-256 hash on the extended key and second to do a  SHA-256 hash on the outcome of SHA-256 hash. before getting the checksum which will later be added to the extended key which was first hashed using SHA256

1192  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Central Bank Digital Currencies Kill Cryptocurrencies ? on: June 08, 2022, 06:39:35 PM
Can the government kill what they can't regulate and control the answer is NO. The best the can do is project their CBDC and stair up FUD in the minds of novice crypto investors which might trigger their sell-off. IMF still wants to be in-charge and have full custody of how much move around the international market so the fight hard to restore their centralized nature and frown at any country that legalizes Bitcoin. But the truth remains the era of centralization is long gone the world is embracing decentralization and with this change there is nothing any government in the world can do to stop this
1193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will countries ban Bitcoin mining due to environmental concerns? on: June 08, 2022, 06:26:26 PM
Lawmakers in New York just passed a bill to ban certain bitcoin mining operations that run on carbon-based power sources. which means bitcoin mining isn't completely banned in the US. The ban is only on Proof of work algorithm that is done with carbon-based power sources that both consumes approximately  1,173 kilowatt hours and causes carbon emission. I think other source of power generation for this same bitcoin mining is permitted e.g solar energy
1194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: June 06, 2022, 09:19:46 PM
At the beginning of last season Chelsea had become a threat to all the top teams they are very confident after winning the Champions League also for the arrival of Lukaku
But surprisingly their performance continues to decline. Can Chelsea still get new players after receiving sanctions from local authorities, related to the club owner in the boycott? this problem greatly affects Chelsea and gets several restrictions.


I think that they can sign new players now as they are already after Jules Kounde now. This boycott situation was a big pain for Chelsea indeed however things should be going on decently for them from now on. Chelsea really need this kind of transfers to be more competitive in the Premier League next season. They are left too behind by Manchester City and Liverpool very easily. They must produce a solution for this problem to be able to keep up with them until the end of the season.
Chelsea had lots of distraction following the sanctions from local authorities but i think they became more stable towards the end of the season which was however too late to catch up with the top two on the league. I expect to see them do better next season Jules Kounde will be a good replacement for Rudiger while the still get a perfect replacement for Lukaku. Raheem Sterling  and O. Dembele might likely join the club as well

Ai are smart APIs but there are not as smart has human thinking and predictions since they are mere bots programmed for a specific outcome. I tried it once and got even worst than an average brain could predict. The only difference with the human brain is it's processing speed else there is no winning guaranteed in bots.

The world has grown to trust the centralized financial system despite it manipulation and regulation and it might take longer years to break out of this grip, but don't you think the whales also control the decentralized finance as well this time by manipulating Bitcoin price for their own pleasure the repetition of trends is a clear example
1197  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: TA or FA which is a better choice for market speculation. on: June 06, 2022, 08:50:43 PM
The two go hand in hand so i use both. Most times the two could be conflicting which is a good time to avoid trading but once both moves in harmony then comes massive profit. I think using both is best because none of the two is actually better than the other both has their pros and cons so take full advantage of the trend both goes
1198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New York's push to ban crypto mining on: June 06, 2022, 08:44:48 PM
If it is just Bitcoin mining that is been banned then it means miners in New York will have to shift else where that is more favorable to continue their mining possibly using renewable energy sources for energy generation. Placing a ban on Bitcoin mining will not stop carbon emission. It is well understood that Bitcoin mining consumes enough electricity capable of powering countries due to it's high computational power but instead of a ban why not provide a better alternative for their power consumption

Congratulations mate. I think its easier dealing with modern public service operators who has embraced owning their privacy and complete ownership of their funds which Bitcoin has offered and  because it opens up doors to multiple choice of payment the issue of network and poor bank server limitation can also to tackled. I think your baby is quite lucky you embraced Bitcoin before his birth making his delivery look so unique, digital with a majestic decentralized payment on his head
1200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: June 05, 2022, 08:37:59 PM
I totaly agree that barcelona beginning of the season was terrible and if xavi was there from the beginning of the season things would've been different and maybe barcelona could do something but we musn't forget about atletico madrid because they too had a terrible begining of season and they managed to get better in the second half and they managed to secure the third position with only 2 points away from barcelona.

Barcelona still did something actually. Maybe they didn't become the champions in the La Liga but they climbed to the second position very fast. If it wasn't for Xavi, I can't even imagine what Koeman's Barcelona would have done until the end of the season. Xavi's Barcelona are very promising for the next La Liga title. It isn't going to be comfortable at all for them as Real Madrid are going to be a very significant opponent. Real Madrid have been the most consistent team recently in the league. I guess they would be like this next season also.
Xavi Hernandez will have a big job in his hands next season but no doubt he was a miracle to Barcelona because before he came they were having their worst season ever under koeman he came and not only move brought them to the champions League but also move them from seventh position to second position, I just hope Joan Laporta give him the transfer money so he can bring in players he knows can play his style of football.
My joy here is that with Xavi as Barcelona coach, there is a high chance of a steady competition for the laliga title next season. Anceloti will not have that opportunity to lift the title with 16points as the did in the just concluded season at least even if He manage to lift it again next season he will have to contend with Xavi. I anticipate for a more interesting season compared to last season
