Albon and Mclaren were the two big surprises here. Mclaren showed that they brought a huge huge upgrade to Austria last week and became fifth, now they are at the front line as well by getting 2 and 3, that doesn't mean they will keep it, qualifying and race are very different things for the car, as much as the driver as well plus there was rain and then there was no rain, which made things a bit different.

I am not expecting Norris to make a podium, but I do believe that he is going to be in the top 5 again, which shows that Mclaren probably had the highest jump of any team in the last 2 seasons aside from maybe early this season Alonso, that was an epic improvement as well but they have been stagnant for a while which made other teams pass them.

It is super awesome to think that there are some regular people who read and understood the secrets behind emails and they have figured it out and they are trying to help people see the reality, whereas they are saying "they are all in it!!!" to every single judge and politician. So, they are expecting us to believe that one side is in on it and the other side is doing nothing about it and want a vote for one of them? I am sorry but it is just made up crazy stories of lunatics and nothing more.

Anyone who believes that Hillary took bloods of terrorized children as a drug should be ignored as a sick person, ignore them and move on with your life, these people once believed lizard humans lived among us as well, that's how crazy they are.
1203  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Irony of Bitcoin Cash's Rise on: July 08, 2023, 12:44:04 PM
Bitcoincash isn't created for that purpose but it was only just a fork of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the real one who is suit on that thing you are talkin about. For those who can't afford the fee for small purchases, there are still altcoins that we can use. I don't mean BCH because BCH was slow and then its fees are still higher compared to most alts.

The real reason on why Bitcoincash is rising is said to be caused by a manipulation. There are so many good coins to approve but why will they choose Bitcoincash? Is it because it was being look down the most? And maybe once people turn their attention to it and invest on the coin, they will then dump it.
1204  Economy / Economics / Re: Automating your savings will help you save more on: July 08, 2023, 12:26:00 PM
It is not about the saving, it's about having financial trouble due to unexpected life stuff that makes it harder. Most people do not realize this but if you are dealing with this situation then most of the time we are going to end up with a period where you will need money.

All the poor people would know, you could save as much as you want and suddenly in a single moment, you happen to live through something that is quite difficult and you end up with a payment you need to make and all of your income would be gone. It is not that nice or anything like that, but that's what happens. This is why we should be careful about what we are doing and instead we are going to end up with a better result and just hope that nothing unexpected happens.
1205  Economy / Speculation / Re: Whats your thought on: July 08, 2023, 12:04:52 PM
Halving will make sure that the market does a lot better than we thought it would, and that is why I am guessing that it's going to be an important piece of the deal. I am not saying that it will be 10x+ higher or something, but it will certainly go up.

If you asked people could bitcoin reach 68k just a few years ago, they would have all said no but we have seen that eventually. People saw bitcoin reaching back to 15k, and they decided not to buy, there were a lot of people who sold during that period, in fact it dropped to 15k because they sold bitcoin, otherwise how could it go down. And considering the next few years, I think those people will regret a ton, because if you buy at 15k, then there is still a chance you could make 10x from bitcoin.
1206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to keep your money in bank? on: July 07, 2023, 09:02:38 PM
Considering that we have seen some banks collapse and peoples money crash with them, I would have to say it is not. Sure for many years, even maybe for decades it could stay solid and no problems at all, but then one day it could crash and your money could be gone. Or better yet, to think that you store your fiat in banks is proof enough that it is a bad idea. Because we are talking about fiat here and we all know that fiat will be a terrible thing to invest into and if you think that you should invest and keep your money in fiat there is nothing wrong with it.

We are going to end up with a good result eventually, but that's going to take a while to reach and we need to understand the fact that it is going to take a while to get there, and fiat will slowly lose value whereas bitcoin will gain.
1207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Not your keys, Not your coins" is not enough on: July 07, 2023, 07:19:09 PM
It is sad to see that people are still not 100% sure what they are doing and that means we are not going to see security in the crypto world all that often and not anytime soon. There are still a lot of people who keep on forgetting that crypto is a dangerous place and since the law is not on our side just yet, people who hack or steal or scam you "usually" do not get caught. Of course anyone who does it for a grand scale would be caught or at least looked for, there are people who stole millions, and those people will be searched.

However, someone who steals a few grand from someone in the crypto world will not be cared about at all, so you can't really trust anyone in this world and you need to be more careful than you probably should be.
1208  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do not limits your investment... on: July 07, 2023, 03:44:22 PM
Understanding how financial world works, you will of course have to focus on the fact that it is not going to be possible to just save money aside and make it go up, you have to use money and even debt. Why do you think even the richest people end up taking a loan when they can afford to spend it from their pocket? Because they are aware that if you take 100 dollar loan, and pay 110 back in a year, you could invest that 100 and make 120+ instead, and that way you would be in profit.

Always try to keep as much money as you can afford on investment that can make you profit, and that way you would be able to actually grow much bigger on the long run, and you could make a debt during that period and you would be able to pay that back when your investment grows larger.
1209  Economy / Economics / Re: What will you do when you have Financial Freedom? on: July 07, 2023, 04:59:02 AM
A lot of people think that reaching to financial freedom is a one time thing but the reality is that it is not a one time thing, it is a constant thing that you need to do. It means, if you reach it today, then you will have to keep reaching it for a long period of time and that's the hardest part. I know that it feels like we are not going to see that change anytime soon, but if we get rich and be silly with our money then we are going to go back to being poor again.

This is why I hope that people realize it is not a silly thing to do and you should be aware of the situation you are in. Hopefully anyone who gets rich would just aim at trying to stay rich, that's what I would do, I would try to keep trying to be rich.
1210  Economy / Economics / Re: Has everyone become too pesimistic about the economy? on: July 07, 2023, 04:06:44 AM
Instead of being pessimistic about it, we could just accept the way it is and try to move further instead. Yes economy sucks, but we always had rich people in every time of the world, even during second world war we had rich people in the world. It means that if we do what we should be doing then we could potentially end up with a richer life, yes the world will get worse and worse, but individually I would get better and that's what I aim at doing right now.

If I could make enough money then I would be fine. For that, in my nation, making about 2-3 thousand dollars would mean you are comfortable, making 5 means you are stepping into being rich. Yes 5 thousand per month is not little, but that's not "rich" in most west nations, in my nation it's literally wealthy.
1211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 07, 2023, 03:14:02 AM
I feel like as long as people are over 18, they should be able to gamble. I know that sounds like a very young age when you are old enough, I certainly think that 18 year olds are kids and not adults yet, but at the same time there are so many of them who go off to live their own life and not with their parents anymore.

It means that it is time for them to learn real life, I certainly did and it was a very tough wake up call to learn that I was a child that was cared for and real world do not care about me at all. Took me a few years to realize that I have to grab the bull by the horn and just ride it out, and they should be able to learn how difficult life is by making these mistakes. If they are any younger then it is not a lesson, their parents would help them as best as they can, if they are older then it is too late.
1212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The hypocrisy of the UK on Cryptocurrency on: July 06, 2023, 06:41:44 PM
Why would they be any different? I mean they have been favoring the rich and disliking the poor since their creation to be fair, literally since the times of royal lords and regular plebs, we have seen UK be a bit more heavy on the rich and the powerful, so they are not acting any different in this case neither.

UK has been filled with people who have stolen from others and they have never cared about that even once, so it is not going to really change much in the future neither. I am guessing that the best thing to do in this case would be making sure that they are aware of the mistake they have done and take all the crypto companies and money people have in the UK outside, they will see how much tax they would lose that way and would reverse their action.
1213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how to get over it on: July 06, 2023, 06:28:15 PM
I wouldn't be really able to answer to this because I never had something like this. People should realize that this is not a common thing and unless you lived something similar then all of your ideas are theory in the end. I believe that we should not be considering the situation common, because in the end it is not that common and we could end up with a result that would be just a suggestion, or assumption.

I have never turned that kind of small amount into a huge amount, if I ever did I would probably take out like 5k of it and put the rest into crypto as an investment. Think about it, with 22k total wagered, OP made 800k+ profit, with some logic, if I put that into crypto, I would have probably had a million dollars due to recent increase as well. I think that's the best way, can't say if I would be able to do that.
1214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BRC-69 tokens, a new standard in Bitcoin on: July 06, 2023, 06:03:03 PM
These type of things do not matter until people overwhelmingly start using it. Look at Lightning network for example, that has promised a lot lower transaction fees for many years now and we are still not using it? Because it doesn't provide the same security feeling, it's just not ready yet and people are not using it, even though it's offering nearly free transactions.

Same goes all these "innovations", at the start they will get some hype by some people for sure but as long as we do not get overwhelming amount of support for it, as in like 80%+ of the market, then it's not going to matter. This could be nothing and we would still be using segwit in the years to come, it needs more attention and a lot more people adopting it.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 06, 2023, 05:05:40 PM
It was always expected that Kolo Muani would leave, he was just way too good for a team like that and he would be able to go play at any team he wants. All the teams in the world would want him, some of them are willing to pay for him as well.

Let's see which team he picks but looks like it's a done deal that he will leave, that much is guaranteed. Inflation really showed itself on football as well, back in the day anything close to 100 million was reserved for worldstar players, like the best of the best, Ronaldo type of players. Nowadays you get to see maybe at least 50 players that worth near that amount, even if not exactly that much, close to that. Kolo Muani is one of those players, apparently worth 80 million euro right now.
1216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Discussion - Being an Active Poster in the Gambling Board on: July 06, 2023, 03:44:09 PM
I can answer all three, been here for many years so I have done my share of rounds. It certainly has helped me building better bets and thanks to that I have been losing less and getting more frequent wins overall as well.

I haven't been able to stop unfortunately so it hasn't helped there, but it certainly allowed me to gamble in a more healthy manner which is great, and lastly overall I have been gambling with more open mind which allowed me to be more flexible when gambling and earn more money that way. Hope that helps and gets better and we could move to a much better situation without a doubt. I hope that it gets to a point where it would be smart decision and we could end up with a community that helps each other more often.
1217  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin maximum price on: July 06, 2023, 03:09:09 PM
Reaching 100k before 2025 ends is my go to prediction these days. I know that I could be wrong but I am guessing that it is not going to be too much wrong. It is obvious that it is going to be close to that at the very least, or it will most likely be higher than that as well. People are reacting to this as something we should be caring about but the reality is that we are not going to get anything "that" marvelous from this at all.

It needs to be something that we need to be careful about and that means that we are going to reach out to a higher level but we do not know when that will start and when that will end. So if you get in too late and get out too late, then you are going to make a loss or not earn much during an epic bull run.
1218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: July 06, 2023, 03:22:15 AM
From the game it is obvious that the missing players means a lot for Galatasaray, it is not like they were even remotely as good as they used to be last season. Remember that this team was the champion and they will be playing in the UCL and this was a second tier English club, so the difference should be high. Sure English clubs are usually better, but we are not talking about a top 10 premier league club, we are talking about a second tier league club, hence the difference should have been bigger.

Obviously this is just a friendly, so it doesn't matter, but it is obvious that they need to get some players to some positions because they have nobody there, and some players weren't there and didn't play even though they will be at the start of the season. Basically get Icardi and Parades, then do what you did last year and do not lose any players, and Galatasaray will be great again.
1219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are altcoins important? on: July 06, 2023, 03:05:31 AM
How would we have improvements then? Crypto world is filled with alts that are not needed I agree with that, but there has been some alts that improved the blockchain world. All those ICO's and IEO's back in the day started a rush, and now the most recent one was DeFi and NFT for example, or metaverse, or play to earn, those were all improvements on what we already had.

This is why it is quite near impossible to have a bitcoin without having alts as well. Those things improve the blockchain world and what can be done with it and you need to accept that we need some of them otherwise it's just not going to work. I know that people are not excited about it as much as they could be, but we need to accept the terrible ones along with the good ones in order to continue.
1220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: July 04, 2023, 07:04:31 PM
The problem with the release clause thing is that according to La Liga rules, you HAVE TO put a release clause into every single contract, of course it can be anything you want, it can be 1 euro, it can be 1 billion euro, it doesn't matter what it is but it has to be there. That is why they have it for all their players and not just pedri/gavi/arda, that is just the way it goes.

When you have young superstars that means you do not want to sell them, you want to keep them and looking how putting 1 billion makes sure that nobody can buy them without your consent, that is going to be a good thing. Or, even if you want to sell the player, you can sell whatever the price you put on them, not what the release clause dictates because that's too high.
